DESCRIPTION
and stored settings can be read back without disturbing
the DAC’s output.
TheCAT522isadual8-BitMemoryDACdesignedasan
electronic replacement for mechanical potentiometers
and trim pots. Intended for final calibration of products
such as camcorders, fax machines and cellular tele-
phones on automated high volume production lines and
systems capable of self calibration, it is also well suited
for applications were equipment requiring periodic ad-
justment is either difficult to access or located in a
hazardous environment.
Control of the CAT522 is accomplished with a simple 3
wire serial interface. A Chip Select pin allows several
CAT522's to share a common serial interface and com-
munications back to the host controller is via a single
serial data line thanks to the CAT522’s Tri-Stated Data
Output pin. A RDY/BSY output working in concert with
aninternallowvoltagedetectorsignalsproperoperation
of EEPROM Erase/Write cycle.
TheCAT522offers2independentlyprogrammableDACs
each having its own reference inputs and each capable
of rail to rail output swing. Outputs are buffered by rail
to rail OP AMPS Output settings, stored in non-volatile
EEPROM memory, are not lost when the device is
powered down and are automatically reinstated when
power is returned. Each output can be dithered to test
new output values without effecting the stored settings
The CAT522 operates from a single 3–5 volt power
supply. The high voltage required for EEPROM Erase/
Write operations is generated on-chip.
The CAT522 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 Surface
mount packages.
