CAT5172
256‐position SPI
Compatible Digital
Potentiometer (POT)
The CAT5172 is a 256-position digital linear taper potentiometer
ideally suited for replacing mechanical potentiometers and variable
resistors. Like mechanical potentiometers, the CAT5172 has a
resistive element, which can span V
CC
to Ground or float anywhere
between the power supply rails.
Wiper settings are controlled through an SPI-compatible digital
interface. Upon power-up, the wiper assumes a mid-span position and
may be repositioned anytime after the power is stable.
The CAT5172 operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, while consuming less
than 2 mA. This low operating current, combined with a small package
footprint, make the CAT5172 ideal for battery-powered portable
appliance.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.
2. Maximum terminal current is bounded by the maximum current handling of the switches, maximum power dissipation of the package, and
maximum applied voltage across any two of the A, B, and W terminals at a given resistance.
