X95840
Quad Digital Controlled Potentiometers (XDCP™)
Low Noise/Low Power/I2C® Bus/256 Taps
The X95840 integrates four digi tally controlled
potentiometers (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS integrated
circuit.
The digitally controlled potentiometers are implemented with
a combination of resistor elements and CMOS switches. The
position of the wipers are controlled by the user through the
I2C bus interface. Each potentiometer has an associated
volatile Wiper Register (WR) and a non-volatile Initial Value
Register (IVR), that can be directly written to and read by the
user. The contents of the WR controls the position of the
wiper. At power up the device recalls the contents of the four
DCP’s IVR to the corresponding WRs.
The DCPs can be used as three-terminal potentiometers or
as two-terminal variable resistors in a wide variety of
applications including control, parameter adjustments, and
signal processing.

Principles of Operation
The X95840 in as integrated circuit incorporating four DCPs
with their associated registers, non-volatil e memory, and a
I2C serial interface providing direct communication be tween
a host and the potentiometers and memory.
DCP Description
Each DCP is implemented with a combination of resistor
elements and CMOS switches. The physical ends of each
DCP are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanica l
potentiometer (RH and RL pins). The RW pin of each DCP is
connected to interme diate nodes, and is equivalent to the
wiper terminal of a mechanical potentiometer. The position
of the wiper terminal within the DCP is controlled by an 8-bit
volatile Wiper Register (WR). Each DCP has its own WR.
When the W R of a DCP co ntains all zeroes (WR<7:0>: 0 0h),
its wiper terminal (RW) is closest to its “Low” terminal (RL).
When the WR of a DCP contains all ones (WR<7:0>: FFh),
its wiper terminal (RW) is closest to its “High” terminal (RH).
As the value of the WR increases from all zeroes (00h) to all
ones (255 decimal), the wiper moves monotonically from the
position closest to RL to the closest to RH. At the same time,
the resistance between RW and RL increases monotonically ,
while the resistance between RH and RW decreases
monotonically.
While the X95840 is being powered up, all four WRs are
reset to 80h (128 decimal), which locates RW roughly at the
center between RL and RH. Soon after the power supply
voltage becomes large enough for reliable non-volatile
memory reading, the X95840 reads the value stored on four
different non-volatile Initial Value Registers (IVRs) and loads
them into their corres ponding WRs.
The WRs and IVRs can be read or written directly using the
I2C serial interface as described in the following sections.
Memory Description
The X95840 contains eight non-volatile bytes. they are
accessed by I2C interface operations with Address Bytes 0
through 7 decimal. The first four non-volatile bytes at
addresses 0, 1, 2, and 3, contain the initial value loaded at
power-up into the volatile Wiper Registers (WRs) of DCP0,
DCP1, DCP2, and DCP3 respectively . Bytes at addresses 4,
5, and 6 are available to the user as general purpose
registers. The byte at address 7 is reserved; the user should
not write to it, and its value should be ignored if read.
The volatile WR, and the non-volatile Initial Value Register
(IVR) of a DCP are accessed with the same Address Byte.
A volatile byte at address 8 de cimal, controls what byte is
read or written when accessing DCP registers: th e WR, the
IVR, or both.
When the byte at address 8 is all zeroes, which is the default
at power up:
A read operation to addresses 0, 1, 2 or 3 outputs the
value of the non-volatile IVRs.
A write operation to addresses 0, 1, 2, or 3 writes the
same value to the WR and IVR of the corresponding DCP.
When the byte at address 8 is 80h (128 decimal):
A read operation to addresses 0, 1, 2, or 3 outputs the
value of the volatile WR.
A write operation to addresses 0, 1, 2, or 3 only writes to
the corresponding volatile WR.
It is not possible to write to an IVR without writing the same
value to its corresponding WR.
00h and 80h are the only values that should be written to
address 8. All other values are reserved and must not be
written to address 8.
To access the general purpose bytes at addresses 4, 5, or 6, the value at address 8 must be all zeros.

The X95840 is pre-programed with 80h in the four IVRs.
WR: Wiper Register, IVR: Initial value Register.
I2C Serial Interface
The X95840 su pports a bidirectional I2C 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 always
initiates data transfers and provides the clock for both
transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the X95840
operates as a slave device in all applications.
All communication over the I2C interface is cond ucted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.
Protocol Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW periods. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating START and STOP conditions (See
Figure 15). On power up of the X95840 the SDA pin is in the
input mode.
All I2C interface operations must begin with a START
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH. The X95840 continuously monitors the SDA
and SCL lines for the START condition and does not
respond to any command until this conditi on is met (See
Figure 15). A START condition is ignored during the power
up sequence and during internal non-volatile write cycles.
All I2C interface operations must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH (See Figure 15). A STOP condition at the end
of a read operation, or at the end of a write operation to
volatile bytes only places the device in its standby mode. A
STOP condition during a write operation to a non-volatile
byte, initiates an internal non-volatile write cycle. The device
enters its standby state when the internal non-volatile write
cycle is completed.
An ACK, Acknowledge, is a software convention used to
indicate a successful data transfer. The transmitting device,
either master or slave, releases the SDA bus after
transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the
receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to acknowledge the
reception of the eight bits of data (See Figure 16).
The X95840 responds with an ACK after recognition of a
START condition followed by a valid Identification Byte, and
once again after successful receipt of an Address Byte. The
X95840 also responds with an ACK after receiving a Data
Byte of a write operation. Th e master must respond with an
ACK after receiving a Data Byte of a read operation
A valid Identification Byte contains 1010 as the four MSBs,
and the following three bits matching the logi c values
present at pins A2, A1, and A0. The LSB in the Read/Write
bit. Its value is “1” for a Read operation, and “0” for a Write
operation. See Table 2.

Write Operation
A Write operation requires a START condition, followed by a
valid Identification Byte, a valid Address Byte, a Data Byte,
and a STOP condition. After each of the three bytes, the
X95840 responds with an ACK. At this time, if the Data Byte
is to be written only to volatile registers, then the device
enters its standby st ate. If the Dat a Byte is to be written also
to non-volatile memory, the X95840 beg ins its internal write
cycle to non-volatile memory. During the internal non-volatile
write cycle, the device ignores transitions at the SDA and
SCL pins, and the SDA output is at a high impedance state.
When the internal non-volatile write cycle is completed, the
X95840 enters its standby state (See Figure 17).
The byte at address 00001000 bin (8 decimal) determines if
the Data Byte is to be written to volatile and/or no n-volatile
memory. See “Memory Description” on page 9.
Data Protection
The WP pin has to be at logic HIGH to perform any Write
operation to the device. When the WP is active (LOW) the
device ignores Data Bytes of a Write Operation, does not
respond to the Data Bytes with an ACK, and instead, goes to
its standby state waiting for a new START condition.
A STOP condition also acts as a protection of non-volatile
memory. A valid Identification Byte, Address Byte, an d total
number of SCL pulses act as a protection of both volatile
and non-volatile registers. During a Write sequence, the
Data Byte is loaded into an internal shift register as it is
received. If the Address Byte is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 8 decimal, the
Data Byte is transferred to the appropriate Wiper Register
(WR) or to the Access Control Register , at the falling edge of
the SCL pulse that loads the last bit (LSB) of the Data Byte.
If the Address Byte is between 0 and 6 (inclusive), and the
Access Control Register is all zeros (default), then the STOP
condition initiates the internal write cycle to non-volatile
memory.
Read Operation
A Read operation consist of a three byte instruction followed
by one or more Data Bytes (See Figure 18). The master
initiates the operation issuing the following sequence: a
START, the Identification byte with the R/W bit set to “0”, an
Address Byte, a second START, and a second Ide ntification
byte with the R/W bit set to “1”. Af ter each of the three bytes,
the X95840 responds with an ACK. Then the X95840
transmits Data Bytes as long as the master responds with an
ACK during the SCL cycle following the eight bit of each
byte. The master terminates the read operation (issuing a

STOP condition) following the last bit of the last Data Byte
(See Figure 18).
The Data Bytes are from the memory location indicated by
an internal pointer . This pointer initial value is determined by
the Address Byte in the Read operation instruction, and
increments by one during transmission of each Data Byte.
After reaching the memory location 08h (8 decimal) the
pointer “rolls over” to 00h, and the device continues to output
data for each ACK received.
The byte at address 00001000 bin (8 decimal) determines if
the Data Bytes being read are from volatile or non-volatile
memory. See “Memory Description ” on page 9.
