DESCRIPTION
stated when power is returned. Each wiper can be
dithered to test new output values without effecting the
stored settings and stored settings can be read back
without disturbing the DPP’s output.
The CAT525 is a quad 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 and systems capable of self calibration, it is also well suited for applications were equipment requiring periodic adjustment is either difficult to
access or located in a hazardous environment.
Control of the CAT525 is accomplished with a simple 3
wire serial interface. A Chip Select pin allows several
CAT525's to share a common serial interface and
communications back to the host controller is via a single
serial data line thanks to the CAT525’s Tri-Stated 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 CAT525 offers four independently programmable
DPPs each having its own reference inputs and each
capable of rail to rail output swing. 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 rein-
The CAT525 is available in the 0°C to 70°C commercial
and –40°C to 85°C industrial operating temperature
ranges and offered in 20-pin plastic DIP and Surface
mount packages.

DEVICE OPERATION
CHIP SELECT
The CAT525 is a quad 8-bit Digital to Analog Converter
(DAC) whose outputs can be programmed to any one of
256 individual voltage steps. Once programmed, these
output settings are retained in non-volatile EEPROM
memory and will not be lost when power is removed from
the chip. Upon power up the DACs return to the settings
stored in EEPROM memory. Each DAC can be written
to and read from independently without effecting the
output voltage during the read or write cycle. Each
output can also be adjusted without altering the stored
output setting, which is useful for testing new output
settings before storing them in memory.
Chip Select (CS) enables and disables the CAT525’s
read and write operations. 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 DAC control registers will
remain in effect until CS goes low. Bringing CS to a logic
low returns all DAC outputs to the settings stored in
EEPROM memory and switches DO to its high impedance Tri-State mode.
Because CS functions like a reset the CS pin has been
desensitized with a 30 ns to 90 ns filter circuit to prevent
noise spikes from causing unwanted resets and the loss
of volatile data.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
CLOCK
The CAT525 employs a standard 3 wire 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 DAC
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.
The CAT525’s clock controls both data flow in and out of
the IC and EEPROM 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 EEPROM memory, even
though the data being saved may already be resident in
the DAC control register.
No clock is necessary upon system power-up. The
CAT525’s internal power-on reset circuitry loads data
from EEPROM to the DACs 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.

Doc. No. 25078-00 4/01 - A M-1
CAT525
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.
its high impedance Tri-State mode when CS returns low.
Tri-Stating the DO pin allows several 525s to share a
single serial data line and simplifies interfacing multiple
525s to a microprocessor.
WRITING TO MEMORY
Programming the CAT525’s EEPROM memory is accomplished through the control signals: Chip Select
(CS) and Program (PROG). With CS high, a start bit
followed by a two bit DAC address and eight data bits are
clocked into the DAC control register via the DI pin. Data
enters on the clock’s rising edge. The DAC output
changes to its new setting on the clock cycle following
D7, the last data bit.
VREF
VREF, the voltage applied between pins VREFH &VREFL,
sets the DAC’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 &VREFL are connected across the
power supply rails. When using less than the full supply
voltage be mindfull of the limits placed on VREFH and
VREFL as specified in the References section of DC
Electrical Characteristics.
Programming is accomplished by bringing PROG 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 generating and ramping up the programming voltage for data transfer to the EEPROM cells. The
CAT525’s EEPROM memory cells will endure over
100,000 write cycles and will retain data for a minimum
of 20 years without being refreshed.
BUSY
READY/BUSY
When saving data to non-volatile EEPROM memory, the
Ready/Busy ouput (RDY/BSY) signals the start and
duration of the EEPROM 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 CAT525 will
ignore any data appearing at DI and no data will be
output on DO.
READING DATA
Data is output serially by the CAT525, 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
Each time data is transferred into a DAC 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 DAC’s output. This feature allows µPs to
poll DACs for their current setting without disturbing the
output voltage but it assumes that the setting being read
is also stored in EEPROM 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 EEPROM’s

RDY/BSY is internally ANDed with a low voltage detector circuit monitoring VDD. If VDD is below the minimum
value required for EEPROM programming, RDY/BSY
will remain high following the program command indicating a failure to record the desired data in non-volatile
memory.

CURRENT DAC DATA
The CAT525 allows temporary changes in DAC’s output
to be made without disturbing the settings retained in
EEPROM memory. This feature is particularly useful
when testing for a new output setting and allows for user
adjustment of preset or default values without losing the
original factory settings.

Figure 3 shows the control and data signals needed to
effect a temporary output change. DAC settings may be
changed as many times as required and can be made to
any of the four DACs in any order or sequence. The
temporary setting(s) remain in effect long as CS remains
high. When CS returns low all four DACs will return to the
output values stored in EEPROM memory.

When it is desired to save a new setting acquired using
this feature, the new value must be reloaded into the

from the programming register the new data two clock
cycles after receiving it if no PROG signal is received.
