FN8169.5
Quad Digitally-Controlled (XDCP™)
Potentiometers
The X9259 integrates four digitally 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
2-wire bus interface. Each potentiometer has associated
with it a volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR) and four
non-volatile Data Registers that can be directly written to and
read by the user. The content of the WCR controls the
position of the wiper. At power-up, the device recalls the
content of the default Data Registers of each DCP (DR00,
DR10, DR20, and DR30) to the corresponding 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
Bus Interface Pins
SERIAL DATA INPUT/OUTPUT (SDA)
The SDA is a bidirectional serial data input/output pin for a 2-
Wire slave device and is used to transfer data into and out of
the device. It receives device address, opcode, wiper
register address and data sent from a 2-Wire master at the
rising edge of the serial clock SCL, and it shifts out data after
each falling edge of the serial clock SCL.
It is an open drain output and may be wire-ORed with any
number of open drain or open collector outputs. An open
drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor.
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
This input is used by 2-Wire master to supply 2-Wire serial
clock to the X9259.
DEVICE ADDRESS (A3 THROUGH A0)
The Address inputs are used to set the least significant 4 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 X9259. A maximum
of 16 devices may occupy the 2-Wire serial bus. Device pins
A3 through A0 must be tied to a logic level which specifies
the external address of the device, see Figures 3, 4, and 5.
Potentiometer Pins

are the terminals of DCP0 and so on.

X9259
Principles of Operation
The X9259 is an integrated circuit incorporating four DCPs
and their associated registers and counters, and the serial
interface providing direct communication between a host
and the potentiometers.
written indirectly by transferring the contents of one of four
associated data registers via the XFR Data Register
instruction (parallel load); it can be modified one step at a
time by the Increment/Decrement instruction (see Instruction
section for more details). Finally, it is loaded with the
contents of its data register zero (DR#0) upon power-up.
(See Figure 1)
The Wiper Counter Register is a volatile register; that is, its
contents are lost when the X9259 is powered-down.
Although the register is automatically loaded with the value
in DR#0 upon power-up, this may be different from the value
present at power-down. Power-up guidelines are
recommended to ensure proper loadings of the DR#0 value
into the WCR# (See Design Considerations Section).
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 mechanical
potentiometer (R
H
and R
L
pins). The RW pin is an
intermediate node, 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 Counter Register
(WCR).
Data Registers (DR)
Each of the four DCPs has four 8-bit non-volatile 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
non-volatile operation and takes 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.
Bit [7:0] are used to store one of the 256 wiper positions
(0 ~ 255).
Power Up and Down Recommendations
There are no restrictions on the power-up or power-down
conditions of V
CC
and the voltages applied to the
potentiometer pins provided that V
CC
is always more
positive than or equal to V
H
, V
L
, and V
W
, i.e., V
CC
≥
V
H
, V
L
,
V
W
. The V
CC
ramp rate specification is always in effect.
Wiper Counter Register (WCR)
The X9259 contains four Wiper Counter Registers, one for
each potentiometer. The Wiper Counter Register can be
envisioned as a 8-bit parallel and serial load counter with its
outputs decoded to select one of 256 wiper positions 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
