DESCRIPTION
The X9410 integrates two digitally controlled
potentiometers (XDCPs) on a monolithic CMOS
integrated circuit.
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 SPI
serial bus interface. Each potentiometer has
associated with it a volatile Wiper Counter Register
(WCR) and four 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 Output (SO)
SO is a push/pull serial data output pin. During a read
cycle, data is shifted out on this pin. Data is clocked
out by the falling edge of the serial clock.
Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. All opcodes, byte
addresses and data to be written to the pots and pot
registers are input on this pin. Data is latched by the
rising edge of the serial clock.
Serial Clock (SCK)
The SCK input is used to clock data into and out of the
X9410.
Chip Select (CS)
When CS is HIGH, the X9410 is deselected and the
SO pin is at high impedance, and (unless an internal
write cycle is underway) the device will be in the
standby state. CS LOW enables the X9410, placing it
in the active power mode. It should be noted that after
a power-up, a HIGH to LOW transition on CS is
required prior to the start of any operation.
Hold (HOLD)
HOLD is used in conjunction with the CS pin to select
the device. Once the part is selected and a serial
sequence is underway, HOLD may be used to pause
the serial communication with the controller without
resetting the serial sequence. To pause, HOLD must
be brought LOW while SCK is LOW. To resume
communication, HOLD is brought HIGH, again while
SCK is LOW. If the pause feature is not used, HOLD
should be held HIGH at all times.
Device Address (A
0
-
A
1
)
The address inputs are used to set the least significant
2 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 X9410. A maximum of 4 devices may occupy the
SPI serial bus.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The X9410 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 X9410 supports the SPI interface hardware
conventions. The device is accessed via the SI input
with data clocked in on the rising SCK. CS must be
LOW and the HOLD and WP pins must be HIGH
during the entire operation.
The SO and SI pins can be connected together, since
they have three state outputs. This can help to reduce
system pin count.

The X9410 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 a Wiper Counter
Register (WCR). The six bits of the WCR are decoded
to select, and enable, one of sixty-four switches.

X9410
Wiper Counter Register (WCR)
The X9410 contains two Wiper Counter Registers, one
for each XDCP potentiometer. The WCR is equivalent
to a serial-in, parallel-out register/counter with its
outputs decoded to select one of sixty-four switches
along its resistor array. The contents of the WCR can
be altered in four ways: it may be written directly by the
host via the Write Wiper Counter Register instruction
(serial load); it may be written indirectly by transferring
the contents of one of four associated Data Registers
via the XFR Data Register or Global XFR Data Register
instructions (parallel load); it can be modified one step
at a time by the Increment/ Decrement instruction.
Finally, it is loaded with the contents of its Data Register
zero (DR0) upon power-up.
The Wiper Counter Register is a volatile register; that
is, its contents are lost when the X9410 is powered-
down. Although the register is automatically loaded
with the value in DR0 upon power-up, this may be
different from the value present at power-down.

Data Registers
Each potentiometer has four 6-bit nonvolatile Data
Registers. These can be read or written directly by the
host. Data can also be transferred between any of the
four Data Registers and the associated Wiper Counter
Register. All operations changing data in one of the
Data Registers is a nonvolatile operation and will take
a maximum of 10ms.
If the application does not require storage of multiple
settings for the potentiometer, the Data Registers can
be used as regular memory locations for system
parameters or user preference data.

X9410
Write in Process
The contents of the Data Registers are saved to
nonvolatile memory when the CS pin goes from LOW
to HIGH after a complete write sequence is received
by the device. The progress of this internal write
operation can be monitored by a Write In Process bit
(WIP). The WIP bit is read with a Read Status
command.
INSTRUCTIONS
Identification (ID) Byte
The first byte sent to the X9410 from the host,
following a CS going HIGH to LOW, is called the
Identification byte. The most significant four bits of the
slave address are a device type identifier, for the
X9410 this is fixed as 0101[B] (refer to Figure 2).
The two least significant bits in the ID byte select one
of four devices on the bus. The physical device
address is defined by the state of the A
0
- A
1
input
pins. The X9410 compares the serial data stream with
the address input state; a successful compare of both
address bits is required for the X9410 to successfully
continue the command sequence. The A
0
- A
1
inputs
can be actively driven by CMOS input signals or tied to
V
CC
or V
SS
.
The remaining two bits in the ID byte must be set to 0.

Instructions
Pot Select
The four high order bits of the instruction byte specify
the operation. The next two bits (R
1
and R
0
) select one
of the four registers that is to be acted upon when a
register oriented instruction is issued. The last bit (P
0
)
selects which one of the two potentiometers is to be
affected by the instruction.
Four of the ten instructions are two bytes in length and
end with the transmission of the instruction byte.
These instructions are:
– XFR Data Register to Wiper Counter Register—This
transfers the contents of one specified Data Register
to the associated Wiper Counter Register.
– XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data Register—This
transfers the contents of the specified Wiper
Counter Register to the specified associated Data
Register.
– Global XFR Data Register to Counter Register—This
transfers the contents of both specified Data Registers
to the associated Wiper Counter Registers.
– Global XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data
Register—This transfers the contents of both Wiper
Counter Registers to the specified associated Data
Registers.
The basic sequence of the two byte instructions is
illustrated in Figure 4. These two-byte instructions
exchange data between the WCR and one of the data
registers. A transfer from a Data Register to a WCR is
essentially a write to a static RAM, with the static RAM
controlling the wiper position. The response of the
wiper to this action will be delayed by t
WRL
. A transfer
from the WCR (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
associated registers; or it may occur globally, where
the transfer occurs between both potentiometers and
one associated register.
