DESCRIPTION
The X9418 integrates two digitally controlled
potentiometers (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS
integrated microcircuit.
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.
The XDCP 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.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Host Interface Pins
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock data into and out of the
X9418.
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into
and out of the device. It is an open drain output and
may be wire-ORed with any number of open drain or
open collector outputs. An open drain output requires
the use of a pull-up resistor. For selecting typical
values, refer to the guidelines for calculating typical
values on the bus pull-up resistors graph.
Device Address (A
0

)
The Address inputs are used to set the least
significant 4 bits of the 8-bit slave address. A match in
the slave address serial data stream must be made
with the Address input in order to initiate
communication with the X9418. A maximum of 16
devices may occupy the 2-wire serial bus.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The X9418 is a highly integrated microcircuit
incorporating two resistor arrays and their associated
registers and counters and the serial interface logic
providing direct communication between the host and
the XDCP potentiometers.
Serial Interface
The X9418 supports a bidirectional bus oriented
protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends
data onto the bus as a transmitter and the receiving
device as the receiver. The device controlling the
transfer is a master and the device being controlled is
the slave. The master will always initiate data transfers
and provide the clock for both transmit and receive
operations. Therefore, the X9418 will be considered a
slave device in all applications.
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW periods (t
LOW
). SDA state changes during
SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop
conditions.
Start Condition
All commands to the X9418 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH (t
HIGH
). The X9418 continuously
monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition
and will not respond to any command until this
condition is met.
Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH.
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to provide
a positive handshake between the master and slave
devices on the bus to indicate the successful receipt of
data. The transmitting device, either the master or the
slave, will release the SDA bus after transmitting eight
bits. The master generates a ninth clock cycle and
during this period the receiver pulls the SDA line LOW
to acknowledge that it successfully received the eight
bits of data.

X9418
The X9418 will respond with an acknowledge after
recognition of a start condition and its slave address
and once again after successful receipt of the
command byte. If the command is followed by a data
byte the X9418 will respond with a final acknowledge.
Array Description
The X9418 is comprised of two resistor arrays. Each
array contains 63 discrete resistive segments that are
connected in series. The physical ends of each array
are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer (V
H
/R
H
and V
L
/R
L
inputs).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper
(V
W
/R
W
) output. Within each individual array only one
switch may be turned on at a time. These switches are
controlled by the Wiper Counter Register (WCR). The
six bits of the WCR are decoded to select, and enable,
one of sixty-four switches.
The WCR may be written directly, or it can be changed
by transferring the contents of one of four associated
Data Registers into the WCR. These Data Registers
and the WCR can be read and written by the host
system.
Device Addressing
Following a start condition the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The most
significant four bits of the slave address are the device
type identifier (refer to Figure 1 below). For the X9418
this is fixed as 0101[B].
Figure 1. Slave Address
Device Type
Identifier
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs, during the internal
nonvolatile write operation, can be used to take
advantage of the typical 5ms EEPROM write cycle
time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the
end of the nonvolatile write command the X9418
initiates the internal write cycle. ACK polling can be
initiated immediately. This involves issuing the start
condition followed by the device slave address. If the
X9418 is still busy with the write operation no ACK will
be returned. If the X9418 has completed the write
operation an ACK will be returned, and the master can
then proceed with the next operation.

The next four bits of the slave address are the device
address. The physical device address is defined by
the state of the A
0
- A
3
inputs. The X9418 compares
the serial data stream with the address input state; a
successful compare of all four address bits is required
for the X9418 to respond with an acknowledge. The
A
0
- A
3
inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input
signals or tied to V
CC
or V
SS
.
Instruction Structure
The next byte sent to the X9418 contains the instruction
and register pointer information. The four most
significant bits are the instruction. The next four bits
point to one of the two pots and when applicable they
point to one of four associated registers. The format is
shown Figure 2.

associated registers; or it may occur globally, wherein
the transfer occurs between both of the
potentiometers and one of their associated registers.
Four instructions require a three-byte sequence to
complete. These instructions transfer data between
the host and the X9418; either between the host and
one of the Data Registers or directly between the host
and the wiper counter register. These instructions are:
Read Wiper Counter Register (read the current wiper
position of the selected pot), write Wiper Counter
Register (change current wiper position of the selected
pot), read Data Register (read the contents of the
selected nonvolatile register) and write Data Register
(write a new value to the selected Data Register). The
sequence of operations is shown in Figure 4.
The Increment/Decrement command is different from
the other commands. Once the command is issued
and the X9418 has responded with an acknowledge,
the master can clock the selected wiper up and/or
down in one segment steps; thereby, providing a fine
tuning capability to the host. For each SCL clock pulse
(t
HIGH
) while SDA is HIGH, the selected wiper will
move one resistor segment towards the V
H
/R
H
terminal. Similarly, for each SCL clock pulse while
SDA is LOW, the selected wiper will move one resistor
segment towards the V
L
/R
L
terminal. A detailed
illustration of the sequence and timing for this
operation are shown in Figures 5 and 6 respectively.
Instructions
Wiper Counter
Register Select
The four high order bits define the instruction. The
next two bits (R1 and R0) select one of the four
registers that is to be acted upon when a register
oriented instruction is issued. The last bits (P0) select
which one of the two potentiometers is to be affected
by the instruction. Bit 1 is defined to be 0.
Four of the nine instructions end with the transmission
of the instruction byte. The basic sequence is
illustrated in Figure 3. These two-byte instructions
exchange data between the wiper counter register and
one of the data registers. A transfer from a Data
Register to a Wiper Counter Register is essentially a
write to a static RAM. The response of the wiper to this
action will be delayed t
WRL
. A transfer from the wiper
counter register (current wiper position), to a Data
Register is a write to nonvolatile memory and takes a
minimum of t
WR
to complete. The transfer can occur
between one of the two potentiometers and one of its
