X9C303

Logarithmic Digitally Controlled Potentiometer (XDCP™) Terminal Voltage ±5V,

100 Taps, Log Taper

DATASHEET

Description

The Intersil X9C303 is a digitally controlled potentiometer

(XDCP). The device consists of a resistor array, wiper

switches, a control section, and nonvolatile memory. The

wiper position is controlled by a three-wire interface.

The resistor array is composed of 99 resistive elements.

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 potentiometer or

as a two-terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of

applications ranging from control, to signal processing, to

parameter adjustment. Digitally

controlled potentiometers

provide three powerful application advantages; (1) the

variability and reliability of a solid-state potentiometer, (2) the

flexibility of computer-based digital controls, and (3) the use

of nonvolatile memory for potentiometer settings retention.

Pin Descriptions

VH and VL

The high (VH) and low (VL) terminals of the device are

equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical

potentiometer. The minimum voltage is –5V and the maximum

is +5V. It should be noted that the terminology of VL and VH

references the relative position of the terminal in relation to

wiper movement direction selected by the U/D input and not

the voltage potential on the terminal.

VW is the wiper terminal, equivalent to the movable terminal of

a mechanical potentiometer. The position of the wiper within

the array is determined by the control inputs. The wiper

terminal series resistance is typically 40.

Up/Down (U/D)

The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper movement

and whether the counter is incremented or decremented.

Increment (INC)

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.

Chip Select (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

operation is complete, the device will be placed in the low power

standby mode until the device is selected once again.

NOTES:

1. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100%

matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations).

Intersil Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC

J STD-020.

2. Pb-free PDIPs can be used for through hole wave solder processing only. They are not intended for use in Reflow solder processing applications.

Potentiometer Relationships

Principles of Operation

There are three sections of the X9C303: the input control,

counter and decode section; the nonvolatile memory; and the

resistor array. The input control section operates just like an

up/down counter. The output of this counter is decoded to turn

on a single electronic switch connecting a point on the resistor

array to the wiper output. Under the proper conditions, the

contents of the counter can be stored in nonvolatile memory and

retained for future use. The resistor array is comprised of 99

individual resistors connected in series. At either end of the

array and between each resistor is an electronic switch that

transfers the potential at that point to the wiper.

The wiper, when at either fixed terminal, acts like its

mechanical equivalent and does not move beyond the last

position. That is, the counter does not wrap around when

clocked to either extreme.

The electronic switches on the device operate in a “make

before break” mode when the wiper changes tap positions. If

the wiper is moved several positions, multiple taps are

connected to the wiper for tIW (INC to VW change). The RTOTAL

value for the device can temporarily be reduced by a significant

amount if the wiper is moved several positions.

When the device is powered-down, the last counter position

stored will be maintained in the nonvolatile memory. When

power is restored, the contents of the memory are recalled and

the counter is reset to the value last stored.

Instructions and Programming

The INC, U/D and CS inputs control the movement of the wiper

along the resistor array. With CS set LOW, the device is selected

and enabled to respond to the U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to

LOW transitions on INC will increment or decrement (depending

on the state of the U/D input) a seven-bit counter. The output of

this counter is decoded to select one of one-hundred wiper

positions along the resistive array.

The value of the counter is stored in nonvolatile memory

whenever CS transitions HIGH while the INC input is also

HIGH.

The system may select the X9C303, move the wiper, and

deselect the device without having to store the latest wiper

position in nonvolatile memory. The wiper movement is

performed as previously described ; once the new position is

reached, the system would the keep INC LOW while taking CS

HIGH. The new wiper position would be maintained until

changed by the system or until a power-down/up cycle recalled

the previously stored data.

This would allow the system to always power-up to a preset

value stored in nonvolatile memory; then during system

operation minor adjustments could be made. The adjustments

might be based on user preference: system parameter

changes due to temperature drift, etc.

The state of U/D may be changed while CS remains LOW. This

allows the host system to enable the device and then move the

wiper up and down until the proper trim is attained.
