FN8197.1
DESCRIPTION
The X9428 integrates
Single Digitally Controlled Potentiometer
(XDCP™)
a
digitally controlled
potentiometers (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS
integrated microcircuit.
FEATURES
• Solid state potentiometer
• 2-wire serial interface
• Register oriented format
—Direct Read/Write/Transfer wiper position
—Store as many as four positions per
potentiometer
The digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented
using 63 resistive elements in a series array. Between
each element are tap points connected to the wiper
terminal through switches. The position of the wiper on
the array is controlled by the user through the 2-wire
bus interface. Each potentiometer has associated with
it a volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR) and 4
nonvolatile Data Registers (DR0:DR3) that can be
directly written to and read by the user. The contents
of the WCR controls the position of the wiper on the
resistor array through the switches. Power-up recalls
the contents of DR0 to the WCR.
• Power supplies
—V
= 2.7V to 5.5V
CC
—V+ = 2.7V to 5.5V
—V– = -2.7V to -5.5V
• Low power CMOS
—Standby current < 1µA
—Ideal for battery operated applications
• High reliability
The XDCP can be used as
a three-terminal
—Endurance–100,000 Data changes per bit per
register
—Register data retention–100 years
• 4-bytes of nonvolatile memory
• 10kΩ resistor array
potentiometer or as a two-terminal variable resistor in
a wide variety of applications including control,
parameter adjustments, and signal processing.
• Resolution: 64 taps each potentiometer
• 16 Ld SOIC, 14 Ld TSSOP packages
• Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant)
