DESCRIPTION
The Intersil X9312 is
potentiometer (XDCP). The device consists of a
resistor array, wiper switches, a control section, and
nonvolatile memory. The wiper position is controlled
by a 3-wire interface.
Digitally Controlled Potentiometer
(XDCP™)
a
digitally controlled
FEATURES
• Solid-state potentiometer
• 3-wire serial interface
• Terminal voltage, 0 to +15V
• 100 wiper tap points
—Wiper position stored in nonvolatile memory
and recalled on power-up
The potentiometer is implemented by a resistor array
composed of 99 resistive elements and a wiper
switching network. Between each element and at
either end are tap points accessible to the wiper
terminal. The position of the wiper element is
controlled by the CS, U/D, and INC inputs. The
position of the wiper can be stored in nonvolatile
memory and then be recalled upon a subsequent
power-up operation.
• 99 resistive elements
—Temperature compensated
—End to end resistance range ± 20%
• Low power CMOS
—V = 5V
CC
—Active current, 3mA max.
—Standby current, 1mA max.
• High reliability
—Endurance, 100,000 data changes per bit
—Register data retention, 100 years
The device can be used as a three-terminal
potentiometer or as a two-terminal variable resistor in
a wide variety of applications including:
– control
• R
values = 10kΩ, 50kΩ, and 100kΩ
TOTAL
– parameter adjustments
– signal processing
• Packages
—8-lead SOIC and DIP
