The CAT523 is a dual, 8-bit digitally-programmable potentiometer (DPP™) configured for programmable voltage and DAC-like applications. Intended for final calibration of products such as camcorders, fax machines and cellular telephones on automated high volume production lines, it is also well suited for systems capable of self calibration, and applications where equipment which is either difficult to access or in a hazardous environment, requires periodic adjustment. Control of the CAT523 is accomplished with a simple 3wire, Microwire-like serial interface. A Chip Select pin allows several CAT523's to share a common serial interface and communication back to the host controller is via a single serial data line thanks to the CAT523’s TriStated Data Output pin. A RDY/BSY output working in concert with an internal low voltage detector signals proper operation of non-volatile NVRAM memory Erase/ Write cycle. The two independently programmable DPPs have a common output voltage range which includes both supply rails. The wipers are buffered by rail to rail op amps. Wiper settings, stored in non-volatile NVRAM memory, are not lost when the device is powered down and are automatically reinstated when power is returned. Each wiper can be dithered to test new output The CAT523 is available in the 0°C to 70°C Commercial and -40°C to + 85°C Industrial operating temperature ranges and offered in 14-pin plastic DIP and SOIC mount packages.

When CS is high data may be read to or from the chip, and the Data Output (DO) pin is active. Data loaded into the DPP control registers will remain in effect until CS goes low. Bringing CS to a logic low returns all DPP outputs to the settings stored in nonvolatile memory and switches DO to its high impedance Tri-State mode. The CAT523 is a dual 8-bit configured digitally programmable potentiometer (DPP) whose outputs can be programmed to any one of 256 individual voltage steps. Once programmed, these output settings are retained in non-volatile memory and will not be lost when power is removed from the chip. Upon power up the DPPs return to the settings stored in non-volatile memory. Each DPP can be written to and read from independently without effecting the output voltage during the read or write cycle. Each output can also be temporarily adjusted without changing the stored output setting, which is useful for testing new output settings before storing them in memory. Because CS functions like a reset the CS pin has been equipped with a 30 ns to 90 ns filter circuit to prevent noise spikes from causing unwanted resets and the loss of volatile data. CLOCK The CAT523’s clock controls both data flow in and out of the IC and non-volatile memory cell programming. Serial data is shifted into the DI pin and out of the DO pin on the clock’s rising edge. While it is not necessary for the clock to be running between data transfers, the clock must be operating in order to write to non-volatile memory, even though the data being saved may already be resident in the DPP wiper control register. DIGITAL INTERFACE The CAT523 employs a 3 wire, Microwire-like, serial control interface consisting of Clock (CLK), Chip Select (CS) and Data In (DI) inputs. For all operations, address and data are shifted in LSB first. In addition, all digital data must be preceded by a logic “1” as a start bit. The DPP address and data are clocked into the DI pin on the clock’s rising edge. When sending multiple blocks of information a minimum of two clock cycles is required between the last block sent and the next start bit. No clock is necessary upon system power-up. The CAT523’s internal power-on reset circuitry loads data from non-volatile memory to the DPPs without using the external clock. Multiple devices may share a common input data line by selectively activating the CS control of the desired IC. Data Outputs (DO) can also share a common line because the DO pin is Tri-Stated and returns to a high impedance when not in use. As data transfers are edge triggered clean clock transitions are necessary to avoid falsely clocking data into the control registers. Standard CMOS and TTL logic families work well in this regard and it is recommended that any mechanical switches used for breadboarding or device evaluation purposes be debounced by a flip-flop or other suitable debouncing circuit. CHIP SELECT Chip Select (CS) enables and disables the CAT523’s 5 Doc. No. 2005, Rev. E CAT523 VREF followed by a two bit DPP address and eight data bits are clocked into the DPP control register via the DI pin. Data enters on the clock’s rising edge. The DPP output changes to its new setting on the clock cycle following D7, the last data bit. VREF, the voltage applied between pins VREFH andVREFL, sets the DPP’s Zero to Full Scale output range where VREFL = Zero and VREFH = Full Scale. VREF can span the full power supply range or just a fraction of it. In typical applications VREFH andVREFL are connected across the power supply rails. When using less than the full supply voltage VREFH is restricted to voltages between VDD and VDD/2 and VREFL to voltages between GND and VDD/2. Programming is achieved by bringing PROG high for a minimum of 3 ms. PROG must be brought high sometime after the start bit and at least 150 ns prior to the rising edge of the clock cycle immediately following the D7 bit. Two clock cycles after the D7 bit the DAC control register will be ready to receive the next set of address and data bits. The clock must be kept running throughout the programming cycle. Internal control circuitry takes care of ramping the programming voltage for data transfer to the non-volatile memory cells. The CAT523’s non-volatile memory cells will endure over 100,000 write cycles and will retain data for a minimum of 100 years without being refreshed. /BUSY READY/BUSY When saving data to non-volatile memory, the Ready/ Busy output (RDY/BSY) signals the start and duration of the non-volatile erase/write cycle. Upon receiving a command to store data (PROG goes high) RDY/BSY goes low and remains low until the programming cycle is complete. During this time the CAT523 will ignore any data appearing at DI and no data will be output on DO. RDY/BSY is internally ANDed with a low voltage detector circuit monitoring VDD. If VDD is below the minimum value required for non-volatile programming, RDY/BSY will remain high following the program command indicating a failure to record the desired data in non-volatile memory. READING DATA Each time data is transferred into a DPP wiper control register currently held data is shifted out via the D0 pin, thus in every data transaction a read cycle occurs. Note, however, that the reading process is destructive. Data must be removed from the register in order to be read. Figure 2 depicts a Read Only cycle in which no change occurs in the DPP’s output. This feature allows µPs to poll DPPs for their current setting without disturbing the output voltage but it assumes that the setting being read is also stored in non-volatile memory so that it can be restored at the end of the read cycle. In Figure 2 CS returns low before the 13th clock cycle completes. In doing so the non-volatile memory setting is reloaded into the DPP wiper control register. DATA OUTPUT Data is output serially by the CAT523, LSB first, via the Data Out (DO) pin following the reception of a start bit and two address bits by the Data Input (DI). DO becomes active whenever CS goes high and resumes its high impedance Tri-State mode when CS returns low. Tri-Stating the DO pin allows several 523s to share a single serial data line and simplifies interfacing multiple 523s to a microprocessor. WRITING TO MEMORY Programming the CAT523’s non-volatile memory is accomplished through the control signals: Chip Select (CS) and Program (PROG). With CS high, a start bit Figure 1.

Had the value held in the control register been different from that stored in non-volatile memory then a change would occur at the read cycle’s conclusion. this feature, the new value must be reloaded into the DPP wiper control register prior to programming. This is because the CAT523’s internal control circuitry discards the new data from the programming register two clock cycles after receiving it (after reception is complete) if no PROG signal is received. TEMPORARILY CHANGE OUTPUT Figure 3. Temporary Change in Output The CAT523 allows temporary changes in DPP’s output to be made without disturbing the settings retained in non-volatile memory.

DPP wiper settings may be changed as many times as required and can be made to any of the two DPPs in any order or sequence. The temporary setting(s) remain in effect long as CS remains high. When CS returns low all two DPPs will return to the output values stored in non-volatile memory.
