„
„
„
„
„
„
CAT5120/5121/5122 linear-taper digitally programmable
potentiometers perform the same function as a
mechanical potentiometer or a variable resistor. These
devices 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.
The CAT5120 is configured as a potentiometer. The
CAT5121 and CAT5122 are configured as variable
resistors. See Pin Configurations for part functionality.
Three resistance values are available: 10kΩ, 50kΩ and
100kΩ. These are available in space-saving 5-pin and
6-pin SC-70 and SOT-23 packages.

The CAT5120/5121/5122 consist of a fixed resistor and
a wiper contact with 16-tap points that are digitally
controlled through a2-wire up/down serial interface.
Three end-to-end resistance values are available: 10kΩ,
50kΩ and 100kΩ.
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).

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.

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.
