DESCRIPTION
The CAT5241 is four Digitally Programmable
Potentiometers (DPPs™) integrated with control logic
and 16 bytes of NVRAM memory. Each DPP consists of
a series of 63 resistive elements connected between two
externally accessible end points. The tap points between
each resistive element are connected to the wiper outputs
with CMOS switches. A separate 6-bit control register
(WCR) independently controls the wiper tap switches for
each DPP. Associated with each wiper control register
are four 6-bit non-volatile memory data registers (DR)
used for storing up to four wiper settings. Writing to the
wiper control register or any of the non-volatile data

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL: Serial Clock
The CAT5241 serial clock input pin is used to clock
all data transfers into or out of the device.
SDA: Serial Data
The CAT5241 bidirectional serial data pin is used
to transfer data into and out of the device. The
SDA pin is an open drain output and can be wire-
or'd with the other open drain or open collector
outputs.
A0, A1, A2, A3: Device Address Inputs
These inputs set the device address when ad-
dressing multiple devices. A total of sixteen
devices can be addressed on a single bus. A
match in the slave address must be made with the
address input in order to initiate communication
with the CAT5241.
RH, RL:Resistor End Points
The four sets of RH and RL pins are equivalent to
the terminal connections on a mechanical potenti-
ometer.
RW:Wiper
The four RW pins are equivalent to the wiper
terminal of a mechanical potentiometer.
DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5241 is four resistor arrays integrated with 2-
wire serial interface logic, four 6-bit wiper control registers
and sixteen 6-bit, non-volatile memory data registers.
Each resistor array contains 63 separate resistive
elements connected in series. The physical ends of
each array are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a
mechanical potentiometer (RH and RL). RH and RL are
symmetrical and may be interchanged. The tap positions
between and at the ends of the series resistors are
connected to the output wiper terminals (RW) by a
CMOS transistor switch. Only one tap point for each
potentiometer is connected to its wiper terminal at a time
and is determined by the value of the wiper control
register. Data can be read or written to the wiper control
registers or the non-volatile memory data registers via
the 2-wire bus. Additional instructions allow data to be
transferred between the wiper control registers and
each respective potentiometer's non-volatile data
registers. Also, the device can be instructed to operate
in an "increment/decrement" mode.

SERIAL BUS PROTOCOL
The following defines the features of the 2-wire 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.
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
CAT5241 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 CAT5241 monitors the
SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this
condition is met.
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.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master then sends the address of
the particular slave device it is requesting. The four most
significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are fixed as
0101 for the CAT5241 (see Figure 5). The next four
significant bits (A3, A2, A1, A0) are the device address
bits and define which device the Master is accessing. Up
to sixteen devices may be individually addressed by the
system. Typically, +5V and ground are hard-wired to
these pins to establish the device's address.
After the Master sends a START condition and the slave
address byte, the CAT5241 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address.
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.
The CAT5241 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 CAT5241 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
CAT5241 will continue to transmit data. If no
acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device terminates
data transmission and waits for a STOP condition.

CAT5241
Document No. 2011, Rev. J
WRITE OPERATIONS
In the Write mode, the Master device sends the START
condition and the slave address information to the Slave
device. After the Slave generates an acknowledge, the
Master sends the instruction byte that defines the
requested operation of CAT5241. The instruction byte
consist of a four-bit opcode followed by two register
selection bits and two pot selection bits. After receiving
another acknowledge from the Slave, the Master device
transmits the data to be written into the selected register.
The CAT5241 acknowledges once more and the Master
generates the STOP condition, at which time if a non-
volatile data register is being selected, the device begins
an internal programming cycle to non-volatile memory.
While this internal cycle is in progress, the device will not
respond to any request from the Master device.
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs can be used to take advantage
of the typical write cycle time. Once the stop condition is
issued to indicate the end of the host's write operation,
the CAT5241 initiates the internal write cycle. ACK
polling can be initiated immediately. This involves issuing
the start condition followed by the slave address. If the
CAT5241 is still busy with the write operation, no ACK
will be returned. If the CAT5241 has completed the write
operation, an ACK will be returned and the host can then
proceed with the next instruction operation.

INSTRUCTION AND REGISTER
DESCRIPTION
SLAVE ADDRESS BYTE
The first byte sent to the CAT5241 from the master/
processor is called the Slave/DPP Address Byte. The
most significant four bits of the slave address are a
device type identifier. These bits for the CAT5241 are
fixed at 0101[B] (refer to Table 1).
The next four bits, A3 - A0, are the internal slave address
and must match the physical device address which is
defined by the state of the A3 - A0 input pins for the
CAT5241 to successfully continue the command
sequence. Only the device which slave address matches
the incoming device address sent by the master executes
the instruction. The A3 - A0 inputs can be actively driven
by CMOS input signals or tied to VCC or VSS.
INSTRUCTION BYTE
The next byte sent to the CAT5241 contains the instruction
and register pointer information. The four most significant
bits used provide the instruction opcode I [3:0]. The P1
and P0 bits point to one of four Wiper Control Registers.
The least two significant bits, R1 and R0, point to one of
the four data registers of each associated potentiometer.
The format is shown in Table 2.

WIPER CONTROL AND DATA REGISTERS
Wiper Control Register (WCR)
The CAT5241 contains four 6-bit Wiper Control Registers,
one for each potentiometer. The Wiper Control Register
output is decoded to select one of 64 switches along its
resistor array. The contents of the WCR can be altered
in four ways: it may be written by the host via Write Wiper
Control Register instruction; it may be written by
transferring the contents of one of four associated Data
Registers via the XFR Data Register instruction, it can be
modified one step at a time by the Increment/decrement
instruction (see Instruction section for more details).
Finally, it is loaded with the content of its data register
zero (DR0) upon power-up.
The Wiper Control Register is a volatile register that
loses its contents when the CAT5241 is powered-down.
Although the register is automatically loaded with the
value in DR0 upon power-up, this may be different from
the value present at power-down.
Data Registers (DR)
Each potentiometer has four 6-bit non-volatile Data
Registers. These can be read or written directly by the
host. Data can also be transferred between any of the
four Data Registers and the associated Wiper Control
Register. Any data changes in one of the Data Registers
is a non-volatile operation and will take a maximum of
5ms.
If the application does not require storage of multiple
settings for the potentiometer, the Data Registers can be
used as standard memory locations for system
parameters or user preference data.
INSTRUCTIONS
Four of the nine instructions are three bytes in length.
These instructions are:
Read Wiper Control Register - read the current
wiper position of the selected potentiometer in the WCR
Write Wiper Control Register - change current
wiper position in the WCR of the selected potentiometer
Read Data Register - read the contents of the
selected Data Register
Write Data Register - write a new value to the
selected Data Register
The basic sequence of the three byte instructions is
illustrated in Figure 8. These three-byte instructions

exchange data between the WCR and one of the Data
Registers. The WCR controls the position of the wiper.
The response of the wiper to this action will be delayed
by tWRL. A transfer from the WCR (current wiper position),
to a Data Register is a write to non-volatile memory and
takes a minimum of tWR to complete. The transfer can
occur between one of the four potentiometers and one
of its associated registers; or the transfer can occur
between all potentiometers and one associated register.
Four instructions require a two-byte sequence to
complete, as illustrated in Figure 7. These instructions
transfer data between the host/processor and the
CAT5241; either between the host and one of the data
registers or directly between the host and the Wiper
Control Register. These instructions are:
XFR Data Register to Wiper Control Register
This transfers the contents of one specified Data
Register to the associated Wiper Control Register.
XFR Wiper Control Register to Data Register
This transfers the contents of the specified Wiper
Control Register to the specified associated
Data Register.
Global XFR Data Register to Wiper
Control Register
This transfers the contents of all specified Data
Registers to the associated Wiper Control
Registers.
Global XFR Wiper Counter Register to
Data Register
This transfers the contents of all Wiper Control
Registers to the specified associated Data
Registers.
INCREMENT/DECREMENT COMMAND
The final command is Increment/Decrement (Figure 5
and 9). The Increment/Decrement command is different
from the other commands. Once the command is issued
and the CAT5241 has responded with an acknowledge,
the master can clock the selected wiper up and/or down
in one segment steps; thereby providing a fine tuning
capability to the host. For each SCL clock pulse (tHIGH)
while SDA is HIGH, the selected wiper will move one
resistor segment towards the RH terminal. Similarly, for
each SCL clock pulse while SDA is LOW, the selected
wiper will move one resistor segment towards the RL
terminal.
See Instructions format for more detail.
