CAT5251WI00

四路数字可编程电位计（ DPP⑩ ）与256丝锥和SPI接口 Quad Digitally Programmable Potentiometer DPP™ with 256 Taps and SPI Interface

The CAT5251 is four digital POTs integrated with control logic and 16 bytes of NVRAM memory. Each digital POT 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 digital POT. 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 SPI 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.The CAT5251 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 -40°C to 85°C industrial operating temperature range.
