CAT5411

CAT5411 Dual Digital Potentiometer (POT) with 64 Taps and SPI Interface Description The CAT5411 is two digital potentiometers (POTs) integrated with control logic and 16 bytes of NVRAM memory. Each digital POT 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 digital POT. 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 SPI serial bus. On power-up, the contents of the first data register (DR0) for each of the two potentiometers is automatically loaded into its respective wiper control register. The CAT5411 can be used as a potentiometer or as a two terminal, var...
