32‐tap Digital Potentiometer (POT)
CAT5115
Description The CAT5115 is a single digital POT designed as an electronic
replacement for mechanical potentiometers and trim pots. Ideal for automated adjustments on high volume production lines, they are also well suited for applications where equipment requiring periodic adjustment is either difficult to access or located in a hazardous or remote environment.
The CAT5115 contains a 32-tap series resistor array connected between two terminals RH and RL. An up/down counter and decoder that are controlled by three input pins, determines which tap is connected to the wiper, RW. The wiper is always set to the mid point, tap 15 at power up. The tap position is not stored in memory.
