CAT5259
INSTRUCTION BYTE
INSTRUCTION AND REGISTER
DESCRIPTION
The next byte sent to the CAT5259 contains the
instruction and register pointer information. The four
most significant bits used provide the instruction
opcode I3 - I0. The R1 and R0 bits point to one of the
four data registers of each associated potentiometer.
The least two significant bits point to one of four Wiper
Control Registers. The format is shown in Table 2.
SLAVE ADDRESS BYTE
The first byte sent to the CAT5259 from the
master/processor is called the Slave/DPP Address
Byte. The most significant four bits of the slave
address are a device type identifier. These bits for the
CAT5259 are fixed at 0101[B] (refer to Table 1).
Data Register Selection
The next four bits, A3 - A0, are the internal slave
address and must match the physical device address
which is defined by the state of the A3 - A0 input pins
for the CAT5259 to successfully continue the
command sequence. Only the device which slave
address matches the incoming device address sent by
the master executes the instruction. The A3 - A0
inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input signals
or tied to VCC or VSS.
