DESCRIPTION
The X9Cxxx are Intersil digitally controlled (XDCP)
potentiometers. The device consists of a resistor
array, wiper switches, a control section, and nonvola-
tile memory. The wiper position is controlled by a
three-wire interface.
The potentiometer is implemented by a resistor array
composed of 99 resistive elements and a wiper switch-
ing 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.
The device can be used as a three-terminal potentiom-
eter or as a two-terminal variable resistor in a wide
variety of applications including:
– control
– parameter adjustments
– signal processing

Brief Description
Increment .
The INC input is negative-edge triggered. Toggling INC will move the wiper and either
increment or decrement the counter in the direction indicated by the logic level on the U/D input.
Up/Down.
The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper movement and whether the counter
is incremented or decremented.

CS.
The device is selected when the CS input is LOW. The current counter value is stored in
nonvolatile memory when CS is returned HIGH while the INC input is also HIGH. After the store op-
eration is complete the X9C102/103/104/503 device will be placed in the low power standby mode
until the device is selected once again.

COMMENT
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device (at these or any other conditions above those
listed in the operational sections of this specification) is
not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
