The digital controlled potentiometer is implemented
using 255 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 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 contents of the
WCR controls the position of the wiper on the resistor
array though the switches. Powerup recalls the
contents of the default Data Register (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.

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
X9261.

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 (A1 - A0)
The address inputs are used to set the 4-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 X9261.
CHIP SELECT (CS)
When CS is HIGH, the X9261 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 X9261, 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.

Potentiometer Pins
RH, RL
The RH and RL pins are equivalent to the terminal
connections on a mechanical potentiometer. Since
there are 2 potentiometers, there are 2 sets of RH and
RL such that RH0 and RL0 are the terminals of POT 0
and so on.
RW
The wiper pin are equivalent to the wiper terminal of a
mechanical potentiometer. Since there are 2
potentiometers, there are 2 sets of RW such that RW0
is the terminals of POT 0 and so on.
Supply Pins
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper
(RW) 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 8-bits of the WCR (WCR[7:0])
are decoded to select, and enable, one of 256
switches (See Table 1).
Power-up and Down Requirements.
There are no restrictions on the power-up or powerdown conditions of VCC and the voltages applied to
the potentiometer pins provided that VCC is always
more positive than or equal to VH, VL, and VW, i.e.,
VCC, VH, VL, VW. The VCC ramp rate specification is
always in effect.
SYSTEM SUPPLY VOLTAGE (VCC) AND SUPPLY
GROUND (VSS)
The VCC pin is the system supply voltage. The VSS
pin is the system ground.
Other Pins
NO CONNECT
No connect pins should be left floating. This pins are
used for Intersil manufacturing and testing purposes.
HARDWARE WRITE PROTECT INPUT (WP)
The WP pin when LOW prevents nonvolatile writes to
the Data Registers.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Serial Interface
The X9261 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.
Array Description
The X9261 is comprised of a resistor array (See
Figure 1). The array contains the equivalent of 255
discrete resistive segments that are connected in
series. The physical ends of each array are equivalent
to the fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer
(RH and RL inputs).

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Wiper Counter Register (WCR)
The X9261 contains two Wiper Counter Registers, one
for each DCP 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 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 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 (DR0) upon power-up.
The Wiper Counter Register is a volatile register; that
is, its contents are lost when the X9261 is powereddown. 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.
Power-up guidelines are recommended to ensure
proper loadings of the DR0 value into the WCR.
6
Data Registers (DR)
Each potentiometer has four 8-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.
Bits [7:0] are used to store one of the 256 wiper
positions or data (0~255).
Status Register (SR)
This 1-bit Status Register is used to store the system
status.
WIP: Write In Progress status bit, read only.
– When WIP=1, indicates that high-voltage write cycle
is in progress.
– When WIP=0, indicates that no high-voltage write
cycle is in progress.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Instructions
IDENTIFICATION BYTE ( ID AND A )
The first byte sent to the X9261 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. The ID[3:0]
bits is the device id for the X9261; this is fixed as
0101[B] (refer to Table 3).
The AD[3:0] bits in the ID byte is the internal slave
address. The physical device address is defined by
the state of the A3 - A0 input pins. The slave address
is externally specified by the user. The X9261
compares the serial data stream with the address
input state; a successful compare of both address bits
is required for the X9261 to successfully continue the
command sequence. Only the device which slave
address matches the incoming device address sent
by the master executes the instruction. The A3-A0
inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input signals
or tied to VCC or VSS.
INSTRUCTION BYTE ( I[3:0] )
The next byte sent to the X9261 contains the instruction
and register pointer information. The three most
significant bits are used provide the instruction opcode
(I[3:0]). The RB and RA bits point to one of the four
Data Registers of each associated XDCP. The least
significant bit points to one of two Wiper Counter
Registers or Pots.The format is shown below in Table 4.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Instructions
Four of the ten instructions are three bytes in length.
These instructions are:
– Read Wiper Counter Register – read the current
wiper position of the selected potentiometer,
– Write Wiper Counter Register – change current
wiper position of the selected potentiometer,
– Read Data Register – read the contents of the
selected Data Register;
– Write Data Register – write a new value to the
selected Data Register.
– Read Status - This command returns the contents
of the WIP bit which indicates if the internal write
cycle is in progress.
The basic sequence of the three byte instructions is
illustrated in Figure 3. These three-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 tWRL. A transfer
from the WCR (current wiper position), to a Data
Register is a write to nonvolatile memory and takes a
minimum of tWR 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 all potentiometers and
one associated register. The Read Status Register
instruction is the only unique format (See Figure 5).
– 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 Wiper Counter
Register – This transfers the contents of all specified Data Registers to the associated Wiper Counter
Registers.
– Global XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data
Register – This transfers the contents of all Wiper
Counter Registers to the specified associated Data
Registers.
INCREMENT/DECREMENT COMMAND
The final command is Increment/Decrement (See
Figures 6 and 7). The Increment/Decrement command
is different from the other commands. Once the
command is issued and the X9261 has responded
with an acknowledge, the master can clock the
selected wiper up and/or down in one segment steps;
thereby, providing a fine tuning capability to the host.
For each SCL clock pulse (tHIGH) while SI is HIGH,
the selected wiper will move one resistor segment
towards the RH terminal. Similarly, for each SCL clock
pulse while SI is LOW, the selected wiper will move
one resistor segment towards the RL terminal. A
detailed illustration of the sequence and timing for this
operation are shown. See Instruction format for more
details.
Four instructions require a two-byte sequence to
complete. These instructions transfer data between
the host and the X9261; either between the host and
one of the data registers or directly between the host
and the Wiper Counter Register. These instructions
are:

Notes: (1) Absolute linearity is utilized to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a
potentiometer.
(2) Relative linearity is utilized to determine the actual change in voltage between two successive tap positions when used as a
potentiometer. It is a measure of the error in step size.

POWER-UP AND DOWN REQUIREMENTS
The are no restrictions on the power-up or power-down conditions of VCC and the voltages applied to the potentiometer pins provided that VCC is always more positive than or equal to VH, VL, and VW, i.e., VCC ≥ VH, VL, VW. The
VCC power-up timing spec is always in effect.

Notes: (6) This parameter is not 100% tested
(7) tPUR and tPUW are the delays required from the time the (last) power supply (VCC-) is stable until the specific instruction can be issued.
These parameters are periodically sampled and not 100% tested.
