The X9241A integrates four digitally controlled
potentiometers (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS
integrated microcircuit.
The digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented
using 63 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 2-wire
bus interface. Each potentiometer has associated with
it a volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR) and 4
nonvolatile Data Registers (DR0:DR3) 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 through the switches. Power up recalls
the contents of 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.

Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock data into and out of the
X9241A.
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into
and out of the device. 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. For selecting typical
values, refer to the guidelines for calculating typical
values on the bus pull-up resistors graph.
Address
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 X9241A.
Potentiometer Pins
VH/RH(VH0/RH0—VH3/RH3), VL/RL (VL0/RL0—VL3/RL3)
The RH and RL inputs are equivalent to the terminal
connections on either end of a mechanical
potentiometer.

The wiper outputs are equivalent to the wiper output of
a mechanical potentiometer.

X9241A
Serial Interface
The X9241A supports a bidirectional bus oriented
protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends
data onto the bus as a transmitter and the receiving
device as the receiver. The device controlling the
transfer is a master and the device being controlled is
the slave. The master will always initiate data transfers
and provide the clock for both transmit and receive
operations. Therefore, the X9241A will be considered a
slave device in all applications.
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW periods (tLOW). SDA state changes during
SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop
conditions.
Start Condition
All commands to the X9241A are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH (tHIGH). The X9241A continuously
monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition
and will not respond to any command until this
condition is met.
Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH.
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to provide
a positive handshake between the master and slave
devices on the bus to indicate the successful receipt of
data. The transmitting device, either the master or the
slave, will release the SDA bus after transmitting eight
bits. The master generates a ninth clock cycle and
during this period the receiver pulls the SDA line LOW
to acknowledge that it successfully received the eight
bits of data. See Figure 7.
The X9241A will respond with an acknowledge after
recognition of a start condition and its slave address
and once again after successful receipt of the
command byte. If the command is followed by a data
byte the X9241A will respond with a final acknowledge.
REV 1.1.13 12/09/02
Array Description
The X9241A is comprised of four resistor arrays. Each
array contains 63 discrete resistive segments that are
connected in series. The physical ends of each array
are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer (VH/RH and VL/RL inputs).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a FET switch connected to the wiper (VW/
RW) output. Within each individual array only one
switch may be turned on at a time. These switches are
controlled by the Wiper Counter Register (WCR). The
six least significant bits of the WCR are decoded to
select, and enable, one of sixty-four switches.
The WCR may be written directly, or it can be changed
by transferring the contents of one of four associated
Data Registers into the WCR. These Data Registers
and the WCR can be read and written by the host
system.
Device Addressing
Following a start condition the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The most
significant four bits of the slave address are the device
type identifier (refer to Figure 1 below). For the X9241A
this is fixed as 0101[B].

Device Address
The next four bits of the slave address are the device
address. The physical device address is defined by the
state of the A0-A3 inputs. The X9241A compares the
serial data stream with the address input state; a
successful compare of all four address bits is required
for the X9241A to respond with an acknowledge.

X9241A
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs, during the internal
nonvolatile write operation, can be used to take
advantage of the typical 5ms EEPROM write cycle
time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the
end of the nonvolatile write command the X9241A
initiates the internal write cycle. ACK polling can be
initiated immediately. This involves issuing the start
condition followed by the device slave address. If the
X9241A is still busy with the write operation no ACK
will be returned. If the X9241A has completed the
write operation an ACK will be returned and the
master can then proceed with the next operation.
Instruction Structure
The next byte sent to the X9241A contains the
instruction and register pointer information. The four
most significant bits are the instruction. The next four
bits point to one of four pots and when applicable they
point to one of four associated registers. The format is
shown below in Figure 2.

Four of the nine instructions end with the transmission
of the instruction byte. The basic sequence is
illustrated in Figure 3. These two-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. The response of
the wiper to this action will be delayed tSTPWV. A
transfer from 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 four potentiometers and one of its
associated registers; or it may occur globally, wherein
the transfer occurs between all four of the
potentiometers and one of their associated registers.
Four instructions require a three-byte sequence to
complete. These instructions transfer data between
the host and the X9241A; either between the host and
one of the Data Registers or directly between the host
and the WCR. These instructions are: Read WCR,
read the current wiper position of the selected pot;
Write WCR, change current wiper position of the
selected pot; Read Data Register, read the contents of
the selected nonvolatile register; Write Data Register,
write a new value to the selected Data Register. The
sequence of operations is shown in Figure 4.

X9241A
The Increment/Decrement command is different from
the other commands. Once the command is issued and
the X9241A 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 SDA is HIGH, the selected wiper will move one
resistor segment towards the VH/RH terminal. Similarly,
for each SCL clock pulse while SDA is LOW, the
selected wiper will move one resistor segment towards
the VL/RL terminal. A detailed illustration of the
sequence and timing for this operation are shown in
Figures 5 and 6 respectively.

DETAILED OPERATION
All four XDCP potentiometers share the serial interface
and share a common architecture. Each potentiometer
is comprised of a resistor array, a Wiper Counter
Register and four Data Registers. A detailed discussion
of the register organization and array operation follows.
Wiper Counter Register
The X9241A contains four volatile Wiper Counter
Registers (WCR), one for each XDCP potentiometer.
The WCR can be envisioned as a 6-bit parallel and
serial load counter with its outputs decoded to select
one of sixty-four 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 WCR
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; finally, it is loaded
with the contents of its Data Register zero (DR0) upon
power-up.
REV 1.1.13 12/09/02
The WCR is a volatile register; that is, its contents are
lost when the X9241A is powered-down. Although the
register is automatically loaded with the value in DR0
upon power-up, it should be noted this may be different
from the value present at power-down.
Data Registers
Each potentiometer has four nonvolatile Data
Registers. These can be read or written directly by the
host and data can be transferred between any of the
four Data Registers and the WCR. It should be noted all
operations changing data in one of these 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, these registers can be
used as regular memory locations that could possibly
store system parameters or user preference data.

Cascade Mode
The X9241A provides a mechanism for cascading the
arrays. That is, the sixty-three resistor elements of one
array may be cascaded (linked) with the resistor
elements of an adjacent array. The VL/RL of the higher
order array must be connected to the VH/RH of the
lower order array (See Figure 9).
Cascade Control Bits
The data byte, for the three-byte commands, contains 6
bits (LSBs) for defining the wiper position plus two high
order bits, CM (Cascade Mode) and DW (Disable
Wiper, normal operation).
The state of the CM bit (bit 7 of WCR) enables or
disables cascade mode. When the CM bit of the WCR
is set to “0” the potentiometer is in the normal operation
mode. When the CM bit of the WCR is set to “1” the
potentiometer is cascaded with its adjacent higher
order potentiometer. For example; if bit 7 of WCR2 is
set to “1”, pot 2 will be cascaded to pot 3.
REV 1.1.13 12/09/02
The state of DW enables or disables the wiper. When
the DW bit of the WCR is set to “0” the wiper is enabled;
when set to “1” the wiper is disabled. If the wiper is
disabled, the wiper terminal will be electrically isolated
and float.
When operating in cascade mode VH/RH, VL/RL and
the wiper terminals of the cascaded arrays must be
electrically connected externally. All but one of the
wipers must be disabled. The user can alter the wiper
position by writing directly to the WCR or indirectly by
transferring the contents of the Data Registers to the
WCR or by using the Increment/Decrement command.
When using the Increment/Decrement command the
wiper position will automatically transition between
arrays. The current position of the wiper can be
determined by reading the WCR registers; if the DW bit
is “0”, the wiper in that array is active. If the current
wiper position is to be maintained on power-down a
global XFR WCR to Data Register command must be
issued to store the position in NV memory before
power-down.

POWER-UP REQUIREMENTS (Power Up sequencing can affect correct recall of the wiper registers)
The preferred power-on sequence is as follows: First Vcc, then the potentiometer pins. It is suggested that Vcc
reach 90% of its final value before power is applied to the potentiometer pins. The Vcc ramp rate specification
should be met, and any glitches or slope changes in the Vcc line should be held to <100mV if possible. Also, Vcc
should not reverse polarity by more than 0.5V.
Notes: (5) This parameter is guaranteed by characterization or sample testing.
(6) tPUR and tPUW are the delays required from the time VCC is stable until the specified operation can be initiated. These parameters
are guaranteed by design.
(7) This parameter is guaranteed by design.
(8) Maximum Wiper Current is derated over temperature. See the Wiper Current Derating Curve.
(9) Ti value denotes the maximum noise glitch pulse width that the device will ignore on either SCL or SDA pins. Any noise glitch pulse
