DATASHEET X9C303 FN8223 Rev 2.00 January 30, 2009 Logarithmic Digitally Controlled Potentiometer (XDCPTM) Terminal Voltage 5V, 100 Taps, Log Taper Description Features 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. * Solid-state potentiometer * Three-wire serial interface * 100 wiper tap points - Wiper position stored in nonvolatile memory and recalled on power-up 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. * 99 resistive elements, log taper - Temperature compensated - End-to-end resistance, 32k 15% - Terminal voltages, 5V * Low power CMOS - VCC = 5V - Active current, 3mA max. - Standby current, 750A max. 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. * High reliability - Endurance, 100,000 data changes per bit - Register data retention, 100 years * Packages - 8 Ld TSSOP - 8 Ld SOIC - 8 Ld PDIP * Pb-free available (RoHS compliant) Block Diagram U/D INC CS 7-BIT UP/DOWN COUNTER 99 RH/VH 98 97 7-BIT NONVOLATILE MEMORY 96 ONE OF ONEHUNDRED DECODER TRANSFER GATES RESISTOR ARRAY 2 VCC VSS STORE AND RECALL CONTROL CIRCUITRY 1 0 RL/VL RW/VW FN8223 Rev 2.00 January 30, 2009 Page 1 of 10 X9C303 Ordering Information PART NUMBER PART MARKING TEMP.

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. 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 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. 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. Pinouts X9C303 (8 LD SOIC, 8 LD PDIP) TOP VIEW INC 1 U/D 2 VH 3 VSS 4 The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper movement and whether the counter is incremented or decremented. 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.

When power is restored, the contents of the memory are recalled and the counter is reset to the value last stored. Ground VCC Supply Voltage U/D Up/Down Control Input INC Increment Control Input CS Chip Select Control Input NC No Connection 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 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. FN8223 Rev 2.00 January 30, 2009 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. 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.
