DESCRIPTION
The X9521 combines two Digitally Controlled Potentiom-
eters (DCP’s), and integrated EEPROM with Block
Lock
TM
protection. All functions of the X9521 are
accessed by an industry standard 2-Wire serial interface.
The DCP’s of the X9521 may be utilized to control the
bias and modulation currents of the laser diode in a Fiber
Optic module. The 2kbit integrated EEPROM may be
used to store module definition data.
The features of the X9521 are ideally suited to simplifying
the design of fiber optic modules which comply to the Gi-
gabit Interface Converter (GBIC) specification. The inte-
gration of these functions into one package significantly
reduces board area, cost and increases reliability of laser
diode modules.

Function
Connection to end of resistor array for (the 256 Tap) DCP 2.
Connection to terminal equivalent to the “Wiper” of a mechanical potentiometer for DCP 2.
Connection to other end of resistor array for (the 256 Tap) DCP2.
Write Protect Control Pin. WP pin is a TTL level compatible input. When held HIGH, Write Protection is
enabled. In the enabled state, this pin prevents all nonvolatile “write” operations. Also, when the Write Pro-
tection is enabled, and the device Block Lock feature is active (i.e. the Block Lock bits are NOT [0,0]), then
no “write” (volatile or nonvolatile) operations can be performed in the device (including the wiper position
of any of the integrated Digitally Controlled Potentiometers (DCPs). The WP pin uses an internal “pull-
down” resistor, thus if left floating the write protection feature is disabled.
Serial Clock. This is a TTL level compatible input pin used to control the serial bus timing for data input
and output.
Serial Data. SDA is a bidirectional TTL level compatible pin used to transfer data into and out of the de-
vice. The SDA pin input buffer is always active (not gated). This pin requires an external pull up resistor.
Ground.
Connection to other end of resistor for (the 100 Tap) DCP 1.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Valid Data Changes on the SDA Bus
Serial Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH. The STOP condition is also used to
place the device into the Standby power mode after a
read sequence. A STOP condition can only be issued
after the transmitting device has released the bus. See
Figure 2.
Serial Interface Conventions
The device 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 called the
master and the device being controlled is called the
slave. The master always initiates data transfers, and
provides the clock for both transmit and receive opera-
tions. Therefore, the X9521 operates as a slave in all
applications.
Serial Acknowledge
An ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK) is a software convention
used to indicate a successful data transfer. The transmit-
ting device, either master or slave, will release the bus
after transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle,
the receiver will pull the SDA line LOW to ACKNOWL-
EDGE that it received the eight bits of data. Refer to
Figure 3.
The device will respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE after
recognition of a START condition if the correct Device
Identifier bits are contained in the Slave Address Byte. If
a write operation is selected, the device will respond with
an ACKNOWLEDGE after the receipt of each subse-
quent eight bit word.
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of
data, release the SDA line, then monitor the line for an
ACKNOWLEDGE. If an ACKNOWLEDGE is detected
and no STOP condition is generated by the master, the
device will continue to transmit data. The device will ter-
minate further data transmissions if an ACKNOWLEDGE
is not detected. The master must then issue a STOP
condition to place the device into a known state.

Serial Clock and Data
Data states on the SDA line can change only while SCL
is LOW. SDA state changes while SCL is HIGH are
reserved for indicating START and STOP conditions.
See Figure 1. On power-up of the X9521, the SDA pin is
in the input mode.
Serial Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the START condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while SCL is
HIGH. The device continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the START condition and does not respond
to any command until this condition has been met. See
Figure 2.

—The next three bits (SA3 - SA1) are the Internal Device
Address bits. Setting these bits to 000 internally
selects the EEPROM array, while setting these bits to
111 selects the DCP structures in the X9521. The
CONSTAT Register may be selected using the Inter-
nal Device Address 010.
—The Least Significant Bit of the Slave Address (SA0)
Byte is the R/W bit. This bit defines the operation to be
performed on the device being addressed (as defined
in the bits SA3 - SA1). When the R/W bit is “1”, then a
READ operation is selected. A “0” selects a WRITE
operation (Refer to Figure 4.)
DEVICE INTERNAL ADDRESSING
Addressing Protocol Overview
The user addressable internal components of the X9521
can be split up into three main parts:
—Two Digitally Controlled Potentiometers (DCPs)
—EEPROM array
—Control and Status (CONSTAT) Register
Depending upon the operation to be performed on each
of these individual parts, a 1, 2 or 3 Byte protocol is used.
All operations however must begin with the Slave
Address Byte being issued on the SDA pin. The Slave
address selects the part of the X9521 to be addressed,
and specifies if a Read or Write operation is to be per-
formed.
It should be noted that in order to perform a write opera-
tion to either a DCP or the EEPROM array, the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit must first be set (See “BL1, BL0:
Block Lock protection bits - (Nonvolatile)” on page 12.)
Slave Address Byte
Following a START condition, the master must output a
Slave Address Byte (Refer to Figure 4.). This byte con-
sists of three parts:
—The Device Type Identifier which consists of the most
significant four bits of the Slave Address (SA7 - SA4).
The Device Type Identifier must always be set to 1010
in order to select the X9521.

Nonvolatile Write Acknowledge Polling
After a nonvolatile write command sequence (for either
the EEPROM array, the Non Volatile Memory of a DCP
(NVM), or the CONSTAT Register) has been correctly
issued (including the final STOP condition), the X9521
initiates an internal high voltage write cycle. This cycle
typically requires 5 ms. During this time, no further Read
or Write commands can be issued to the device. Write
Acknowledge Polling is used to determine when this high
voltage write cycle has been completed.
To perform acknowledge polling, the master issues a
START condition followed by a Slave Address Byte. The
Slave Address issued must contain a valid Internal
Device Address. The LSB of the Slave Address (R/W)
can be set to either 1 or 0 in this case. If the device is still
busy with the high voltage cycle then no ACKNOWL-
EDGE will be returned. If the device has completed the
write operation, an ACKNOWLEDGE will be returned
and the host can then proceed with a read or write opera-
tion. (Refer to Figure 5.).

The X9521 includes two independent resistor arrays.
These arrays respectively contain 99 and 255 discrete
resistive segments that are connected in series. The
physical ends of each array are equivalent to the fixed
terminals of a mechanical potentiometer (R

At both ends of each array and between each resistor

switch may be turned on at any one time. These
switches are controlled by the Wiper Counter Register
(WCR) (See Figure 6). The WCR is a volatile register.
On power-up of the X9521, wiper position data is auto-
matically loaded into the WCR from its associated Non
Volatile Memory (NVM) Register. The Table below
shows the Initial Values of the DCP WCR’s before the
contents of the NVM is loaded into the WCR.
