DESCRIPTION
The CAT5111 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 CAT5111 contains a 100-tap series resistor array
connected between two terminals RH and RL. An up/
down counter and decoder that are controlled by three
input pins, determines which tap is connected to the
wiper, RWB. The CAT5111 wiper is buffered by an op
amp that operates rail to rail. The wiper setting, stored in
non-volatile NVRAM memory, is not lost when the device
is powered down and is automatically recalled when
power is returned. The wiper can be adjusted to test new

system values without effecting the stored
setting. Wiper-control of the CAT5111 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 and also store the wiper position prior to
power down.
The digitally programmable potentiometer can be
used as a buffered voltage divider. For applications
where the potentiometer is used as a 2-terminal variable
resistor, please refer to the CAT5113. The buffered
wiper of the CAT5111 is not compatible with that
application. DPPs bring variability and programmability
to a broad range of applications and are used primarily
to control, regulate or adjust a characteristic or parameter
of an analog circuit.
The INC input (on the falling edge) moves the wiper in the
up or down direction determined by the condition of the
U/D input.
DD
U/
D: Up/Down Control Input
DD
The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper
movement. When in a high state and CS is low, any highto-low transition on INC will cause the wiper to move one
increment toward the RH 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
RL terminal.
R
High End Potentiometer Terminal
H:
RH is the high end terminal of the potentiometer. It is not
required that this terminal be connected to a potential
greater than the RL terminal. Voltage applied to the R
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage, VCC or go
below ground, GND.
RWB: Wiper Potentiometer Terminal (Buffered)
RWB is the buffered wiper terminal of the potentiometer. Its
position on the resistor array is controlled by the control
inputs, INC, U/D and CS.
RL: Low End Potentiometer Terminal
RL is the low end terminal of the potentiometer. It is not
required that this terminal be connected to a potential
less than the RH terminal. Voltage applied to the R
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage, VCC or go
below ground, GND. RL and RH are electrically
interchangeable.

of the CAT5111 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 CAT5111 operates like a digitally controlled
potentiometer with RH and RL equivalent to the high
and low terminals and RWB equivalent to the mechanical
potentiometer's wiper. There are 100 available tap
positions including the resistor end points, RH and RL.
There are 99 resistor elements connected in series
between the RH and RL terminals. The wiper terminal is
connected to one of the 100 taps and controlled by three
inputs, INC, U/D and CS. These inputs control a sevenbit up/down counter whose output is decoded to select
the wiper position. The selected wiper position can be
stored in nonvolatile memory using the INC and
CS inputs.
H
With CS set LOW the CAT5111 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
seven-bit counter). The wiper, when at either fixed
terminal, acts like its mechanical equivalent and does
not move beyond the last position. The value of the
counter is stored in nonvolatile memory whenever CS
transitions HIGH while the INC input is also HIGH. When
the CAT5111 is powered-down, the last stored wiper
counter position is maintained in the nonvolatile memory.
When power is restored, the contents of the memory are
L
recalled and the counter is set to the value stored.
With INC set low, the CAT5111 may be de-selected
and powered down without storing the current wiper
position in nonvolatile memory. This allows the
system to always power up to a preset value stored
in nonvolatile memory.
