CAT5136, CAT5137, CAT5138 Digital Potentiometers (POTs) with 128 Taps and I2C Interface http://onsemi.com Description CAT5136, CAT5137, and CAT5138 are a family of digital POTs operating like mechanical potentiometers in various configurations. The tap points between the 127 equal resistive elements are connected to the wiper output via CMOS switches. The switches are controlled by a 7-bit Wiper Control Register (WCR) via the I2C serial bus. CAT5136 is configured as a variable resistor. CAT5137 and CAT5138 are resistive voltage dividers, with one terminal of the potentiometer connected to GND. CAT5137 and CAT5138 have different device IDs, which makes it possible to use both on the same I2C bus. Upon power-up, the WCR is set to mid-scale (1000000).

Bus Timing http://onsemi.com 5 tBUF 128 CAT5136, CAT5137, CAT5138 SERIAL BUS PROTOCOL The following defines the features of the I2C bus protocol: 1. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. 2. During a data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is high. Any changes in the data line while the clock is high will be interpreted as a START or STOP condition. STOP Condition A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH determines the STOP condition. All operations must end with a STOP condition (see Figure 7). Acknowledge After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is required to generate an acknowledge. The acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth clock cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data (see Figure 8). The CAT513x responds with an acknowledge after receiving a START condition and its slave address. If the device has been selected along with a write operation, it responds with an acknowledge after receiving each 8-bit byte. When the CAT513x is in a READ mode it transmits 8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors the line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this acknowledge, the CAT513x will continue to transmit data. If no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device terminates data transmission and waits for a STOP condition. The device controlling the transfer is a master, typically a processor or controller, and the device being controlled is the slave. The master will always initiate data transfers and provide the clock for both transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the CAT513x will be considered a slave device in all applications. START Condition The START Condition precedes all commands to the device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT513x monitors the SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this condition is met (see Figure 7). SDA SCL START CONDITION STOP CONDITION Figure 7. Start/Stop Condition BUS RELEASE DELAY (TRANSMITTER) SCL FROM MASTER 1 8 BUS RELEASE DELAY (RECEIVER) 9 DATA OUTPUT FROM TRANSMITTER DATA OUTPUT FROM RECEIVER START ACK DELAY ( tAA) Figure 8. Acknowledge Condition http://onsemi.com 6 ACK SETUP ( tSU:DAT) CAT5136, CAT5137, CAT5138 DEVICE DESCRIPTION Slave Address Instruction Byte Description Only the device with slave address matching the input byte will be accessed by the master. The last bit is the READ/WRITE bit and determines the function to be performed. If it is a "1" a read command is initiated and if it is a "0" a write is initiated. After the Master sends a START condition and the slave address byte, the CAT513x monitors the bus and responds with an acknowledge when its address matches the transmitted slave address. The first byte sent to the CAT513x from the master processor is called the Slave Address Byte. The most significant seven bits of the slave address are a device type identifier. For CAT5136 and CAT5137 these bits are fixed at 0101110. For CAT5138, they are 0111110. This allows both CAT5137 and CAT5138, which are functionally identical, to reside on the same bus (refer to Table 10). Table 10. BYTE 1 SLAVE ADDRESS AND INSTRUCTION BYTE Device Type Identifier Device ID6 ID5 ID4 ID3 ID2 ID1 ID0 Read/Write CAT5136 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 R/W CAT5137 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 R/W CAT5138 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 R/W (MSB) (LSB) Wiper Control Register (WCR) Description A write operation (see Table 11) requires a Start condition, followed by a valid slave address byte, a valid address byte 00h, a data byte and a STOP condition. After each of the three bytes, the CAT513x responds with an acknowledge. After the third byte, the data is written to the Wiper Control Register, and the wiper changes position accordingly. A read operation (see Table 12) requires a Start condition, followed by a valid slave address byte for write, a valid address byte 00h, a second START and a second slave address byte for read. After each of the three bytes, the CAT513x responds with an acknowledge and then the device transmits the data byte. The master terminates the read operation by issuing a STOP condition following the last bit of Data byte. The CAT513x contains a 7-bit volatile Wiper Control Register which is decoded to select one of the 128 switches along its resistor array. The Wiper Control Register loses its contents when the CAT513x is powered-down. At power-up, the register is loaded with the midscale value 40h. The contents of the WCR may be read or changed directly by the host using a READ/WRITE command on the I2C bus (see Table 1 to access WCR). Since the CAT513x will only make use of the 7 LSB bits, the first data bit, or MSB, is ignored on write instructions and will always come back as a "0" on read commands. Table 11.

Each contact point generates a linear resistive value between the 0 position and the 127 position. These values can be determined by dividing the end-to-end value of the potentiometer by 127. In the case of the 50 kW potentiometer ~390 W is the resistance between each wiper position. However in addition to the ~390 W for each resistive segment of the potentiometer, a wiper resistance offset must be considered. Table 13 shows the effect of this value and how it would appear on the wiper terminal. CAT5136, CAT5137, CAT5138 are a family of a 128-position, digital controlled potentiometers. When VDD is applied, the device automatically turns on at the mid-point wiper location (64). At power-down, it is recommended to turn-off first the signals on RH, RW and RL, followed by VDD, in order to avoid unexpected transitions of the wiper and uncontrolled current overload of the potentiometer. The end-to-end nominal resistance of the potentiometer has 128 contact points linearly distributed across the total resistor. Each of these contact points is addressed by the 7 bit Table 13.
