256-Tap Quad-Channel Non-Volatile
Digital Potentiometer
Features
• 256 taps for each potentiometer
The iPot™ ISL45024 DCP is a 256-tap,
quad-channel non-volatile digital
potentiometer available in 10kΩ, 50kΩ and
• Four independent, linear-taper channels in one package
• End-to-end resistance available in 10kΩ, 50kΩ and 100kΩ
• Selectable output buffer for each channel
100kΩ end-to-end resistances. These devices can be used
as a three-terminal potentiometer or as a two terminal
variable resistor in a wide variety of applications.
• SPI Serial Interface for data transfer and potentiometer
control
The output of each potentiometer is determined by the wiper
position, which varies linearly between VA and VB terminal
according to the content stored in the volatile Tap Register
(TR). The settings of the TR can be provided either directly
by the user through the industry standard SPI interface, or
by the non-volatile memory (NVMEM0~3) where the
previous settings are stored. When changes are made to the
TR to establish a new wiper position, the value of the setting
can be saved into any non-volatile memory location
(NVMEM0~3) by executing a NVMEM save operation. Each
channel has its own four non-volatile memory locations
(NVMEM0~3) that can be directly written to, and read by,
users through the SPI interface. Upon powerup the content
of the NVMEM0 is automatically loaded to the Tap Register.
• Daisy-chain operation for multiple devices
• Nonvolatile storage of four wiper positions per channel
with power-on recall from NVMEM0
• Low standby current (1µA Max. with output buffer inactive)
• Endurance 100K typical stores per bit
• Register Data Retention 100 years
• Industrial temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Wide operating voltage range: 2.7V ~ 5.5V
• Package option:
- 20-pin TSSOP, 20-pin SOIC, 20-pin PDIP
The ISL45024 contains four independent channels in 20-pin
PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages and can operate over a
wide operating voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V. A selectable
output buffer is built-in for each channel for those
applications where an output buffer is required.
