INSTRUCTION AND REGISTER
DESCRIPTION
DEVICE TYPE / ADDRESS BYTE
The first byte sent to the CAT5401 from the master/
processor is called the Device Address Byte. The
most significant four bits of the Device Type address
are a device type identifier. These bits for the
CAT5401 are fixed at 0101[B] (refer to Table 1).
The two least significant bits in the slave address
byte, A1 - A0, are the internal slave address and must
match the physical device address which is defined by
the state of the A1 - A0 input pins for the CAT5401 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 A1 - A0 inputs can be actively driven
by CMOS input signals or tied to V
remaining two bits in the device address byte must be
set to 0.

INSTRUCTION BYTE
The next byte sent to the CAT5401 contains the
instruction and register pointer information. The four
most significant bits used provide the instruction
opcode I [3:0]. 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.
