Quad, 128 Tap, Low Voltage Digitally Controlled
Potentiometer (XDCP™)
ISL23348
Features
• Four potentiometers per package
• 128 resistor taps
The ISL23348 is a volatile, low voltage, low noise, low power,
128 tap, quad digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) with an
2
I C Bus™ interface. It integrates four DCP cores, wiper
• 10kΩ, 50kΩ or 100kΩ total resistance
switches and control logic on a monolithic CMOS integrated
circuit.

• I C serial interface
- No additional level translator for low bus supply
- Three address pins allow up to eight devices per bus
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
• Maximum supply current without serial bus activity
(standby)
2
I C bus interface. Each potentiometer has an associated
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 (64 tap
position).

• Shutdown mode
- Forces the DCP into an end-to-end open circuit and RWi is
connected to RLi internally
The low voltage, low power consumption, and small package
of the ISL23348 make it an ideal choice for use in battery
- Reduces power consumption by disconnecting the DCP
resistor from the circuit
operated equipment. In addition, the ISL23348 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.

• Extended industrial temperature range: -40°C to +125°C
• 20 Ld TSSOP or 20 QFN packages
Applications
• Power supply margining
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
• Trimming sensor circuits
• Gain adjustment in battery powered instruments
• RF power amplifier bias compensation
