CAT5114VP2I10GT3

Digital Potentiometers Overview

The CAT5114VP2I10GT3 is a single digital potentiometer featuring 32 tap positions with linear taper characteristics. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 6.0 V and utilizes an Increment/Up-Down serial interface for wiper control. The device incorporates non-volatile EEPROM memory to retain the wiper setting during power-down, automatically restoring it upon power-up. Packaged in a space-saving 2 x 3 mm TDFN-8 format with NiPdAu lead finish, it serves as an electronic replacement for mechanical potentiometers.

Digital Potentiometers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm package suffix VP2 corresponds to the TDFN-8 form factor. Ensure environmental compliance requirements match the Pb-Free and Halogen-Free specifications listed in the ordering information.

Digital Potentiometers Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring non-volatile resistance adjustment in compact spaces. The 10 kΩ resistance value suits moderate impedance circuits. Verify that the 3-wire serial interface (CS, INC, U/D) aligns with the system's microcontroller or logic capabilities.

Digital Potentiometers Part Context

This component belongs to the CAT5114 series of digitally programmable potentiometers. The VP2 suffix designates the 2x3 mm TDFN package, while 'I' indicates the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). The '10' denotes the 10 kΩ nominal resistance value.

Digital Potentiometers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include CAT5114VI10GT3 (SOIC-8) and CAT5114YI10GT3 (TSSOP-8), provided the PCB footprint allows for package adaptation.
