There are 128 available tap positions position. The value of the counter is stored in nonvolatile including the resistor end points, R and R . There are 127 memory whenever CS transitions HIGH while the INC input H L resistor elements connected in series between the R and R is also HIGH. When the CAT5133 is powered-down the last H L terminals. The wiper terminal is connected to one of the 128 stored wiper counter position is maintained in the taps and controlled by three inputs, INC, U/D and CS. These nonvolatile memory. When power is restored, the contents inputs control a 7-bit up/down counter whose output is of the memory are recalled and the counter is set to the value decoded to select the wiper position. The selected wiper stored. position can be stored in nonvolatile memory using the INC With INC set low, the CAT5133 may be de-selected and and CS inputs. powered down without storing the current wiper position in With CS set LOW the CAT5133 is selected and will nonvolatile memory. This allows the system to always respond to the U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to LOW power up to a preset value stored in nonvolatile memory. transitions on INC will increment or decrement the wiper
