CAT5241  
Quad Digitally Programmable Potentiometer (DPP™) with  
64 Taps and I²C Interface  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
„ Four linear-taper digitally programmable  
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 registers is via a I²C serial  
bus. On power-up, the contents of the first data  
register (DR0) for each of the four potentiometers is  
automatically loaded into its respective wiper control  
register (WCR).

PIN DESCRIPTION  
DEVICE OPERATION  
SCL: Serial Clock  
The CAT5241 is four resistor arrays integrated with I²C  
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 resis–  
tors 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 I²C 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.  
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  
addressing 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 potentiometer.  
RW: Wiper  
The four RW pins are equivalent to the wiper terminal  
of a mechanical potentiometer.

Notes:  
(1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings  
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions outside of those listed in the operational sections of this  
specification is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating for extended periods may affect device performance and reliability.  
(2) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20ns. Maximum DC  
voltage on output pins is VCC +0.5V, which may overshoot to VCC +2.0V for periods of less than 20ns.  
(3) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100mA on address and data pins from –1V to VCC + 1V.  
(4) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.  
(5) Absolute linearity is utilized to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a  
potentiometer.  
(6) Relative linearity is utilized to determine the actual change in voltage between two successive tap positions when used as a  
potentiometer. It is a measure of the error in step size.

CAT5241  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
DEVICE ADDRESSING  
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a  
START condition. The Master then sends the address

CAT5241  
Acknowledge Polling  
WRITE OPERATION  
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.  
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.

CAT5241  
INSTRUCTIONS AND REGISTER  
DESCRIPTION  
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.  
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 com-  
mand 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.

CAT5241  
four Data Registers and the associated Wiper Control  
Register. Any data changes in one of the Data Regis–  
ters is a non-volatile operation and will take a  
maximum of 5ms.  
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.  
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  
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.  
— Read Data Register – read the contents of the  
selected Data Register  
— Write Data Register – write a new value to the  
Data Registers (DR)  
selected Data Register  
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  
The basic sequence of the three byte instructions is  
illustrated in Figure 8. These three-byte instructions

CAT5241  
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 maximum 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.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
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.
