描述 Description

The CAT5241 is four digital POTs integrated with control logic and 16 bytes of EEPROM 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 2-wire serial bus (I2C-like). 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).The CAT5241 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.

簡介

CAT5241屬于集成電路（IC）的數(shù)字電位計(jì)。由制造生產(chǎn)的CAT5241數(shù)字電位計(jì)數(shù)字電位器是一系列集成電路器件，可提供類似于傳統(tǒng)機(jī)械電位器或變阻器的可調(diào)節(jié)電阻，但通過電子信號而非機(jī)械輸入來進(jìn)行控制。雖然這些器件的電阻可耗散的電能相對有限，但其電子控制能力有助于小型化、自動化和遠(yuǎn)程控制信號級模擬電路，而這些電路本來可能會使用機(jī)械電位器。
