DESCRIPTION
The CAT5115 is a single digitally programmable
potentiometer (DPP™) designed as a electronic
replacement for mechanical potentiometers and trim
pots. Ideal for automated adjustments on high volume
production lines, they are also well suited for
applications where equipment requiring periodic
adjustment is either difficult to access or located in a
hazardous or remote environment.
The CAT5115 contains a 32-tap series resistor array
connected between two terminals R
H
and R
L
. An up/
down counter and decoder that are controlled by three
input pins, determines which tap is connected to the
wiper, R
W
. The wiper is always set to the mid point, tap
15 at power up. The tap position is not stored in memory.
Wiper-control of the CAT5115 is accomplished with
three input control pins,
CS,
U/D, and
INC.
The
INC
input increments the wiper in the direction which is
determined by the logic state of the U/D input. The
CS
input is used to select the device.
The digitally programmable potentiometer can be
used as a three-terminal resistive divider or as a
two-terminal variable resistor. DPPs bring variability and
programmability to a wide variety of applications
including control, parameter adjustments, and
signal processing.
For a pin-compatible device that recalls a stored tap
position on power-up refer to the CAT5114 data sheet.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
INC:
INC
Increment Control Input
The
INC
input moves the wiper in the up or down
direction determined by the condition of the U/D input.
U/D
: Up/Down Control Input
D
The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper
movement. When in a high state and
CS
is low, any high-
to-low transition on
INC
will cause the wiper to move one
increment toward the R
H
terminal. When in a low state
and
CS
is low, any high-to-low transition on
INC
will
cause the wiper to move one increment towards the
R
L
terminal.
R
H:
High End Potentiometer Terminal
R
H
is the high end terminal of the potentiometer. It is not
required that this terminal be connected to a potential
greater than the R
L
terminal. Voltage applied to the R
H
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage, V
CC
or go
below ground, GND.
R
W
: Wiper Potentiometer Terminal
R
W
is the wiper terminal of the potentiometer. Its position
on the resistor array is controlled by the control inputs,
INC,
U/D and
CS.
Voltage applied to the R
W
terminal cannot
exceed the supply voltage, V
CC
or go below ground, GND.
R
L
: Low End Potentiometer Terminal
R
L
is the low end terminal of the potentiometer. It is not
required that this terminal be connected to a potential
less than the R
H
terminal. Voltage applied to the R
L
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage, V
CC
or go
below ground, GND. R
L
and R
H
are electrically
interchangeable.
CS:
CS
Chip Select
The chip select input is used to activate the control input
of the CAT5115 and is active low. When in a high
state, activity on the
INC
and U/D inputs will not
affect or change the position of the wiper.
DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5115 operates like a digitally controlled
potentiometer with R
H
and R
L
equivalent to the high
and low terminals and R
W
equivalent to the mechanical
potentiometer's wiper. There are 32 available tap
positions including the resistor end points, R
H
and R
L
.
There are 31 resistor elements connected in series
between the R
H
and R
L
terminals. The wiper terminal is
connected to one of the 32 taps and controlled by three
inputs,
INC,
U/D and
CS.
These inputs control a five-bit
up/down counter whose output is decoded to select the
wiper position.
With
CS
set LOW the CAT5115 is selected and will
respond to the U/D and
INC
inputs. HIGH to LOW
transitions on
INC
wil increment or decrement the
wiper (depending on the state of the U/D input and five-
bit counter). The wiper, when at either fixed terminal,
acts like its mechanical equivalent and does not move
beyond the last position. When the CAT5115 is powered-
down, the wiper position is reset. When power is restored,
the counter is set to the mid point, tap 15.
