The CAT5419 is two Digitally Programmable Potentiometers (DPP™) integrated with control logic and 16 bytes of NVRAM memory. A separate 6-bit control register (WCR) independently controls the wiper tap position for each DPP. Associated with each wiper control register are four 6-bit non-volatile memory data registers (DR) used for storing up to four wiper settings. Writing to the wiper control register or any of the non-volatile data registers is via a 2-wire serial bus (I2C-like).

The CAT5419 is a dual digitally programmable potentiometer (DPP) featuring 64 resistor taps per potentiometer and a 2‑wire serial interface compatible with I2C. It includes four non‑volatile wiper settings, write protection, and up to 100‑year data retention, making it suitable for circuit‑level adjustments.
The device operates from 2.5 V to 6.0 V, provides a standby current of less than 1 µA, and supports up to 1 000 000 write cycles. It can be addressed on a shared bus with up to sixteen devices, and its pins are available in SOIC, TSSOP, and BGA packages.
