Features
• Dual solid-state potentiometers
The Intersil X93255 is a dual digitally controlled
potentiometer (XDCP). The device consists of two resistor
arrays, wiper switches, a control section, and nonvolatile
memory. The wiper positions are controlled by individual
Up/Down interfaces.
• Independent Up/Down interfaces
• 32 wiper tap points per potentiometer
- Wiper position stored in nonvolatile memory and
recalled on power-up
• 31 resistive elements per potentiometer
- Temperature compensated
- Maximum resistance tolerance ± 25%
- Terminal voltage, 0 to VCC
A potentiometer is implemented by a resistor array
composed of 31 resistive elements and a wiper switching
network. The position of each wiper element is controlled by
a set of independent 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.
• Low power CMOS
- VCC = 5V ± 10%
- Active current, 200µA typ.
- Standby current, 4µA max
Each potentiometer is connected as a two-terminal variable
resistor and can be used in a wide variety of applications
including:
• High reliability
- Endurance 200,000 data changes per bit
- Register data retention, 100 years
• Bias and gain control
• LCD Contrast Adjustment
• RTOTAL value = 50kΩ

±1 Ml Maximum. n = 1 .. 29 only
2. Relative linearity is a measure of the error in step size between taps = RH(n+1) - [RH(n) + Ml] = ±0.5 Ml, n = 1 .. 29 only.
3. 1 Ml = Minimum Increment = RTOT/31.
4. Typical values are for TA = +25°C and nominal supply voltage.
5. Limits established by characterization and are not production tested.
6. When performing multiple write operations, VCC must not decrease by more than 150mV from its initial value.
7. Parts are 100% tested at +25°C. Over-temperature limits established by characterization and are not production tested.

Power-up and Power-down Requirements
Principles of Operation
There 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 and VL, i.e., VCC ≥ VH,VL. The
VCC ramp rate specification is always in effect.
There are multiple sections for each potentiometer in the
X93255: an input control, a counter and decode section; the
nonvolatile memory; and a resistor array. Each 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.
Each resistor array is comprised of 31 individual resistors
connected in series. At either end of the array and between
each resistor is an electronic switch that transfers the
connection at that point to the wiper. The wiper is connected
to the RL terminal, forming a variable resistor from RH to RL.
Pin Descriptions
RH and RL
The RH and RL pins of the X93255 are equivalent to the end
terminals of a variable resistor. The minimum voltage is VSS
and the maximum is VCC. The terminology of RH and RL
references the relative position of the terminal in relation to
wiper movement direction selected by the U/D input per
potentiometer.
Up/Down (U/D)
The U/D input controls the direction of a single
potentiometer’s 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
pertaining potentiometer’s counter in the direction indicated
by the logic level on the pertaining potentiometer’s U/D
input.
Chip Select (CS)
Each 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.
If the wiper is moved several positions, multiple taps are
connected to the wiper for up to 10µs. The 2-terminal
resistance value for the device can temporarily change by a
significant amount if the wiper is moved several positions.
When the device is powered-down, the last wiper position
stored will be maintained in the nonvolatile memory for each
potentiometer. When power is restored, the contents of the
memory are recalled and each wiper is set to the value last
stored.
A potentiometer is selected when the pertaining CS input is
LOW. Its current counter value is stored in nonvolatile
memory when the pertaining CS is returned HIGH while the
pertaining INC input is also HIGH. After the store operation
is complete, the affected potentiometer will be placed in the
low power standby mode until the potentiometer is selected
once again.

Instructions and Programming
The INC, U/D and CS inputs control the movement of the
pertaining wiper along the resistor array. With CS set LOW,
the pertaining potentiometer 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 5-bit counter. The output of this counter is
decoded to select one of thirty two wiper positions along the
resistive array.
The value of the counter is stored in nonvolatile memory
whenever each CS transitions HIGH while the pertaining
INC input is also HIGH. In order to avoid an accidental store
during power-up, each CS must go HIGH with VCC during
initial power-up. When left open, each CS pin is internally
pulled up to VCC by an internal 30k resistor.
The system may select the X93255, move any wiper and
deselect the device without having to store the latest wiper
position in nonvolatile memory. After the wiper movement is
performed as previously described and once the new
position is reached, the system must keep INC LOW while
taking CS HIGH. The new wiper position will be maintained
until changed by the system or until a power-up/down cycle
recalled the previously stored data. In order to recall the
stored position of the wiper on power-up, the CS pin must be
held HIGH.
This procedure allows 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, or other system
trim requirements.
