CAT5172TBI-50GT3 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The CAT5172TBI-50GT3 from ON Semiconductor is a 256-position digital potentiometer designed to replace mechanical potentiometers and variable resistors. It offers a linear taper with an end-to-end resistance of 50kΩ and a typical tolerance of ±20%.

 

This device utilizes an SPI-compatible digital interface for wiper control, with the wiper assuming a mid-span position upon power-up. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V and consumes very low power, less than 2 µA maximum.

 

The CAT5172TBI-50GT3 is housed in a compact SOT-23-8 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and low temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C ensure reliable performance in various environments.

 

Typical applications include potentiometer replacement, adjustment of transducer outputs (pressure, temperature, position, chemical, optical sensors), RF amplifier biasing, and gain control or offset adjustments.
