Digitally Controlled Potentiometer
(XDCP™)
Features
• Solid-State Potentiometer
• Three-Wire Serial Interface
• 100 Wiper Tap Points
The X9C102, X9C103, X9C104, X9C503 are Intersils’
digitally controlled (XDCP) potentiometers. The device
consists of a resistor array, wiper switches, a control section,
and non-volatile memory. The wiper position is controlled by
a three-wire interface.
- Wiper Position Stored in Non-volatile Memory and
Recalled on Power-up
• 99 Resistive Elements
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 non-volatile
memory and then be recalled upon a subsequent power-up
operation.
- Temperature Compensated
- End-to-End Resistance, ±20%
- Terminal Voltages, ±5V
• Low Power CMOS
- VCC = 5V
- Active Current, 3mA max.
- Standby Current, 750µA max.
The device can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or
as a two-terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of
applications ranging from control to signal processing to
parameter adjustment.
• High Reliability
- Endurance, 100,000 Data Changes per Bit
- Register Data Retention, 100 years
• X9C102 = 1kΩ
• X9C103 = 10kΩ
• X9C503 = 50kΩ
• X9C104 = 100kΩ
