Functional Description
The CAT5120/5121/5122 consist of a fixed resistor
and a wiper contact with 16-tap points that are digitally
controlled through a 2-wire up/down serial interface.
Three end-to-end resistance values are available: 10kΩ,
50kΩ and 100kΩ.
The CS and U/D inputs control the position of the wiper
along the resistor array. When CS transitions from high
to low, the part will go into increment mode if U/D input
is high, and into decrement mode when U/D input is low.
Once the mode is set, the device will remain in that mode
until CS goes high again. A low-to-high transition at the
U/D pin will increment or decrement the wiper position
depending on the current mode (Figures 1 and 2).
The CAT5120 is designed to operate as a potentiometer.
In this configuration, the low terminal of the resistor array
is connected to ground (pin 2).
When the CS input transitions to high (serial interface
inactive), the value of the counter is stored and the wiper
position is maintained.
The CAT5122 performs as a variable resistor. In this
device, the wiper terminal and high terminal of the
resistor array is connected at pin 5. The CAT5121 is
a similar variable resistor, except the low terminal is
connected to pin 5.
Note that when the wiper reaches the maximum (or
minimum) tap position, the wiper will not wrap around
to the minimum (or maximum) position.
Digital Interface Operation
Power-On Reset
The Minipots have two modes of operation when the
serial interface is active: increment and decrement mode.
The serial interface is only active when CS is low.
All parts in this family feature power-on reset (POR)
circuitry that sets the wiper position to midscale at powerup. By default, the chip is in the increment mode.

Applications Information
The Minipots are intended for circuits requiring digitally
controlled adjustable resistance, such as LCD contrast
control, where voltage biasing adjusts the display
contrast.
Adjustable Gain
Figure 5 shows how to use the variable resistor to digitally
adjust the gain of a noninverting op amp configuration.
Connect the CAT5121 in series with a resistor to ground
to form the adjustable gain control of a noninverting
amplifier. The Minipots have a low 5ppm/°C ratiometric
tempco that allows for a very stable adjustable gain
configuration over temperature.
Alternative Positive LCD Bias Control
Use an op amp to provide buffering and gain on the output
of the CAT5120. Connect the mechanical potentiometer
to the positive input of a noninverting op amp (Figure 3) to
select a portion of the input signal by digitally controlling
the wiper terminal. Figure 4 shows a similar circuit for
the CAT5121.
