CAT5120, CAT5121, CAT5122 16-Tap MiniPotTM Digitally Programmable Potentiometers with 2-Wire Interface FEATURES DESCRIPTION CAT5120/5121/5122 linear-taper digitally programmable potentiometers perform the same function as a mechanical potentiometer or a variable resistor. These devices consist of a fixed resistor and a wiper contact with 16-tap points that are digitally controlled through a 2-wire up/down serial interface. The CAT5120 is configured as a potentiometer. The CAT5121 and CAT5122 are configured as variable resistors. See Pin Configurations for part functionality. Three resistance values are available: 10k, 50k and 100k. These are available in space-saving 5-pin and 6-pin SC-70 and SOT-23 packages. 0.3A Ultra-low standby current Single-supply operation: 2.7V to 5.5V Glitchless switching between resistor taps Power-on reset to midscale 2-wire up/down serial interface Resistance values: 10k, 50k and 100k Available in SC-70 and SOT-23 packages APPLICATIONS LCD screen adjustment Volume control Mechanical potentiometer replacement Gain adjustment Line impedance matching FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM H VDD GND UP-DOWN COUNTER CS U/D 16-POSITION DECODER For Ordering Information details, see page 10.

F CAT5120, CAT5121, CAT5122 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION and U/D inputs control the position of the The CS transitions wiper along the resistor array. When CS from high to low, the part will go into increment mode if U/D input is high, and into decrement mode when U/D input is low. Once the mode is set, the device will goes high again. A lowremain in that mode until CS to-high transition at the U/D pin will increment or decrement the wiper position depending on the current mode (Figures 1 and 2). The CAT5120/5121/5122 consist of a fixed resistor and a wiper contact with 16-tap points that are digitally controlled through a2-wire up/down serial interface. Three end-to-end resistance values are available: 10k, 50k and 100k. The CAT5120 is designed to operate as a potentiometer. In this configuration, the low terminal of the resistor array is connected to ground (pin 2). input transitions to high (serial interface When the CS inactive), the value of the counter is stored and the wiper position is maintained. The CAT5122 performs as a variable resistor. In this device, the wiper terminal and high terminal of the resistor array is connected at pin 5. The CAT5121 is a similar variable resistor, except the low terminal is connected to pin 5. Note that when the wiper reaches the maximum (or minimum) tap position, the wiper will not wrap around to the minimum (or maximum) position. Digital Interface Operation Power-On Reset The MiniPots have two modes of operation when the serial interface is active: increment and decrement is low. mode. The serial interface is only active when CS All parts in this family feature power-on reset (POR) circuitry that sets the wiper position to midscale at power-up. By default, the chip is in the increment mode. CS t CU t IC t IL U/D t IH t CI t SETTLE t SETTLE W Note: "W" is not a digital signal. It represents wiper transitions. Figure 1.

Characteristics subject to change without notice CAT5120, CAT5121, CAT5122 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The MiniPots are intended for circuits requiring digitally controlled adjustable resistance, such as LCD contrast control, where voltage biasing adjusts the display contrast. Adjustable Gain Figure 5 shows how to use the variable resistor to digitally adjust the gain of a noninverting op amp configuration. Connect the CAT5121 in series with a resistor to ground to form the adjustable gain control of a noninverting amplifier. The Minipots have a low 5ppm/C ratiometric tempco that allows for a very stable adjustable gain configuration over temperature. Alternative Positive LCD Bias Control Use an op amp to provide buffering and gain on the output of the CAT5120. Connect the mechanical potentiometer to the positive input of a noninverting op amp (Figure 3) to select a portion of the input signal by digitally controlling the wiper terminal.
