CAT5112V-10

Digital Potentiometers Overview

The CAT5112V-10 is a single-channel digital potentiometer manufactured by onsemi. It features a 10 kOhm resistance value with 32 discrete taps and linear taper characteristics. The device utilizes an Increment/Decrement control interface for wiper position adjustment. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 6 V, consuming a typical operating current of 200 uA. The component is housed in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Digital Potentiometers Feature Summary

• Single digital potentiometer with 10 kOhm total resistance and 32-tap resolution
• Increment/Decrement serial control interface for wiper positioning
• Operates on 2.5 V to 6 V supply with low 200 uA quiescent current
• Industrial temperature rating spanning -40°C to +85°C

Digital Potentiometers Applications

• Automated gain control in signal processing circuits
• Volume or tone adjustment in audio equipment
• Calibration of sensor bias voltages
• Voltage reference trimming in measurement systems

Digital Potentiometers Part Context

This component belongs to the CAT5112 family of 32-tap digital potentiometers. Variants within this series differ primarily by resistance values (such as 50 kOhm or 100 kOhm) and packaging options like MSOP-8. The 'V' suffix typically denotes the SOIC-8 package variant within this product line.

Digital Potentiometers Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other CAT5112 variants with matching 10 kOhm resistance and SOIC-8 packaging. Ensure the replacement part supports the required Increment/Decrement interface and meets the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature specifications.
