FN8223.2
Features
• Solid-state potentiometer
Description
• Three-wire serial interface
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.
• 100 wiper tap points
- Wiper position stored in nonvolatile memory and
recalled on power-up
• 99 resistive elements, log taper
- Temperature compensated
- End-to-end resistance, 32kΩ ±15%
- Terminal voltages, ±5V
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.
• Low power CMOS
- VCC = 5V
- Active current, 3mA max.
- Standby current, 750µA 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)

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.
Pin Descriptions
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.
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.

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.

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.
3
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.
