Intended for final calibration of products such as camcorders, fax machines and cellular telephones on automated high volume production lines and systems capable of self calibration, it is also well suited for applications were equipment requiring periodic adjustment is either difficult to access or located in a hazardous environment. The CAT525 offers four independently programmable DPPs each having its own reference inputs and each capable of rail to rail output swing. The wipers are buffered by rail to rail op amps. Wiper settings, stored in non-volatile NVRAM memory, are not ...
