CAT5133
16 Volt Digital
Potentiometer (POT) with
128 Taps and an Increment
Decrement Interface
Description
http://onsemi.com
The CAT5133 is a high voltage digital POT integrated with
EEPROM memory and control logic to operate in a similar manner to
a mechanical potentiometer. The digital ponentiometer consists of a
series of 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 7-bit wiper
control register (WCR) independently controls the wiper tap switches
for the digital potentiometer. Associated with the control register is a
7-bit nonvolatile memory data register (DR) used for storing the wiper
settings. Changing the value of the wiper control register or storing
that value into the nonvolatile memory is performed via a 3-input
Increment-Decrement interface.
The CAT5133 comes with 2 voltage supply inputs: VCC (digital
supply voltage) input and V+ (analog bias supply) input. Providing
separate Digital and Analog inputs allow the potentiometer terminals
to be as much as 10 volts above VCC and 16 volts above ground.
The CAT5133 can be used as a potentiometer or as a two terminal,
variable resistor. It is designed for circuit level or system level
adjustments in a wide variety of applications.
On power-up, the contents of the nonvolatile data register (DR) are
transferred to the wiper control register (WCR) and the wiper is
positioned to that location. The CAT5133 is shipped with the DR
programmed to position 64.

Device Operation
The CAT5133 operates like a digitally controlled
potentiometer with RH and RL equivalent to the high and low
terminals and RW equivalent to the mechanical
potentiometer’s wiper. There are 128 available tap positions
including the resistor end points, RH and RL. There are 127
resistor elements connected in series between the RH and RL
terminals. The wiper terminal is connected to one of the 128
taps and controlled by three inputs, INC, U/D and CS. These
inputs control a 7-bit up/down counter whose output is
decoded to select the wiper position. The selected wiper
position can be stored in nonvolatile memory using the INC
and CS inputs.
With CS set LOW the CAT5133 is selected and will
respond to the U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to LOW
transitions on INC will increment or decrement the wiper
(depending on the state of the U/D input and 7-bit counter).
The wiper, when at either fixed terminal, acts like its
mechanical equivalent and does not move beyond the last
position. The value of the counter is stored in nonvolatile
memory whenever CS transitions HIGH while the INC input
is also HIGH. When the CAT5133 is powered-down; the last
stored wiper counter position is maintained in the
nonvolatile memory. When power is restored, the contents
of the memory are recalled and the counter is set to the value
stored.
With INC set low, the CAT5133 may be de-selected and
powered down without storing the current wiper position in
nonvolatile memory. This allows the system to always
power up to a preset value stored in nonvolatile memory.

Figure 2. Potentiometer Equivalent Circuit
Power-On and Potentiometer Characteristics
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
wiper register which is decoded to select one of these 128
contact points.
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. The 10 kW potentiometer has a
resistance of ~79 W between each wiper position. However
in addition to the ~79 W for each resistive segment of the
potentiometer, a wiper resistance offset must be considered.
Table 3 shows the effect of this value and how it would
appear on the wiper terminal.
This offset will appear in each of the CAT5133 end-to-end
resistance values in the same way as the 10 kW example.
However resistance between each wiper position for the
50 kW version will be ~395 W and for the 100 kW version
will be ~790 W.
The CAT5133 is a 128-position, digital controlled
potentiometer. When applying power to the CAT5133, VCC
must be supplied prior to or simultaneously with V+. At the
same time, the signals on RH, RW and RL terminals should
not exceed V+. If V+ is applied before VCC, the electronic
switches of the digital potentiometer are powered in the
absence of the switch control signals, that could result in
multiple switches being turned on. This causes unexpected
wiper settings and possible current overload of the
potentiometer.
When VCC is applied, the device turns on at the mid-point
wiper location (64) until the wiper register can be loaded
with the nonvolatile memory location previously stored in
the device. After the nonvolatile memory data is loaded into
the wiper register the wiper location will change to the
previously stored wiper position.
At power-down, it is recommended to turn-off first the
signals on RH, RW and RL, followed by V+ and, after that,
VCC, in order to avoid unexpected transitions of the wiper
and uncontrolled current overload of the potentiometer.
