DESCRIPTION
The CAT5269 is two digitally programmable poten–
tiometers (DPPs™) integrated with control logic and
18 bytes of NVRAM memory. Each DPP 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 separate 8-bit
control register (WCR) independently controls the
wiper tap switches for each DPP. Associated with
each wiper control register are four 8-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 2-wire
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
registers.
The CAT5269 can be used as a potentiometer or as a
two terminal, variable resistor. It is intended for circuit
level or system level adjustments in a wide variety of
applications. It is available in the -40ºC to 85ºC
industrial operating temperature ranges and offered in
a 24-lead SOIC and TSSOP package.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL: Serial Clock
The CAT5269 serial clock input pin is used to
clock all data transfers into or out of the
device.
SDA: Serial Data
The CAT5269 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-Ored with the other open
drain or open collector I/Os.
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 CAT5269.
R

¯¯¯: Write Protect Input
WP
The ¯¯¯ pin when tied low prevents non-

wiper control register is allowed) and when
tied high or left floating normal read/write
operations are allowed. See Write Protection

DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5269 is two resistor arrays integrated with a 2-wire serial interface, two 8-bit wiper control registers and
eight 8-bit, non-volatile memory data registers. Each resistor array contains 255 separate resistive elements
connected in series. The physical ends of each array are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer (R
H
and R
L
). The tap positions between and at the ends of the series resistors are connected to the
output wiper terminals (R
W
) 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.

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 V
CC
+0.5V, which may overshoot to V
CC
+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 V
CC
+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 potentio-
meter. It is a measure of the error in step size.

The write cycle is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/erase cycle. During the write
cycle, the bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high, and the device does not respond to its slave address.
