Quad, 256 Tap, Low Voltage Digitally Controlled
Potentiometer (XDCP™)
ISL23345
Features
• Four potentiometers per package
The ISL23345 is a volatile, low voltage, low noise, low power,
256 tap, quad digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) with an

I C Bus interface. It integrates four DCP cores, wiper switches
and control logic on a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit.
• 10kΩ, 50kΩ or 100kΩ total resistance

• I C serial interface
Each digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented with a
combination of resistor elements and CMOS switches. The
position of the wipers are controlled by the user through the

I C bus interface. Each potentiometer has an associated

(standby)
volatile Wiper Register (WRi, i = 0, 1, 2, 3) that can be directly
written to and read by the user. The contents of the WRi
controls the position of the wiper. When powered on, the wiper
of each DCP will always commence at mid-scale (128 tap
position).

The low voltage, low power consumption, and small package
of the ISL23345 make it an ideal choice for use in battery
operated equipment. In addition, the ISL23345 has a V

The DCP can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or as a
two-terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of applications
including control, parameter adjustments, and signal processing.
