CAT5113LI10

Digital Potentiometers Overview

The CAT5113LI-10 is a single-channel digital potentiometer IC manufactured by onsemi, featuring 100 taps and non-volatile memory for wiper position storage. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 6 V with a typical operating current of 100 uA. The device utilizes a serial 3-wire interface for control and offers a linear taper resistance profile with a nominal value of 10 kOhms and a tolerance of 20%. Designed for industrial applications, it supports an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is available in a PDIP-8 through-hole package.

Digital Potentiometers Feature Summary

• Non-volatile NVRAM retains wiper settings across power cycles
• Serial 3-wire interface (CS, U/D, INC) for up/down control
• Single potentiometer with 100 tap positions and linear taper
• Low power consumption with 100 uA operating current

Digital Potentiometers Applications

• Automated product calibration on production lines
• Remote control adjustments for inaccessible equipment
• Offset, gain, and zero control in instrumentation
• Motor controls and feedback systems

Digital Potentiometers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity as the CAT5113LI-10 is listed with an End-of-Life status by the manufacturer. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets, ensuring the part meets RoHS compliance standards and matches the specified PDIP-8 package configuration before integration into designs.

Digital Potentiometers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel digital potentiometer with high resolution (100 taps) and non-volatile storage is required. Ensure the design accommodates the 10 kOhms resistance value and 20% tolerance. Verify that the system logic levels are compatible with the 3-wire serial interface and that the operating environment falls within the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.

Digital Potentiometers Part Context

This part belongs to the CAT5113 series of digitally programmable potentiometers. It serves as an electronic replacement for mechanical potentiometers, offering improved reliability and automated adjustability. The 'LI' suffix typically denotes the industrial temperature grade and PDIP package variant within the family.

Digital Potentiometers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the CAT5113 series, such as the CAT5113YI-10-GT3 for surface mount applications. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 100-tap count, non-volatile memory feature, and 10 kOhms resistance value to ensure functional equivalence.
