The digitally 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
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 though 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
X9258.
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.

The X9258 is a highly integrated microcircuit
incorporating four resistor arrays and their associated
registers and counters and the serial interface logic
providing direct communication between the host and
the DCP potentiometers.
Serial Interface—2-Wire
The X9258 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
FN8168.1
May 6, 2005
X9258
and provide the clock for both transmit and receive
operations. Therefore, the X9258 will be considered a
slave device in all applications.
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.
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 X9258 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH (tHIGH). The X9258 continuously
monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition
and will not respond to any command until this
condition is met.
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 X9258
this is fixed as 0101[B].

Identifier

A3
A2

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.
The X9258 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 X9258 will respond with a final acknowledge.
Array Description
The X9258 is comprised of four resistor arrays. Each
array contains 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 (VH/RH and VL/RL inputs).
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 X9258 compares the
serial data stream with the address input state; a
successful compare of all four address bits is required
for the X9258 to respond with an acknowledge. The A0
- A3 inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input
signals or tied to VCC or VSS.
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs, during the internal
nonvolatile write operation, can be used to take
advantage of the typical 5ms nonvolatile write cycle
time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the
end of the nonvolatile write command the X9258
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
X9258 is still busy with the write operation no ACK will
be returned. If the X9258 has completed the write
operation an ACK will be returned and the master can
then proceed with the next operation.
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper
(VW) 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
8 bits of the WCR are decoded to select, and enable,
one of 256 switches.

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 Wiper Counter Register
and one of the data registers. A transfer from a Data
Register to a Wiper Counter Register is essentially a
write to a static RAM. The response of the wiper to this
action will be delayed tWRL. A transfer from the Wiper
Counter Register (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 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 X9258; either between the host and
one of the data registers or directly between the host
and the Wiper Counter Register. These instructions
are: Read Wiper Counter Register (read the current
wiper position of the selected pot), Write Wiper
Counter Register (change current wiper position of the
selected pot), Read Data Register (read the contents
of the selected nonvolatile register) and Write Data
Register (write a new value to the selected data
register). The sequence of operations is shown in
Figure 4.
Instruction Structure
The next byte sent to the X9258 contains the
instruction and register pointer information. The four
most significant bits are the instruction. The next four
bits point to one of the two pots and when applicable
they point to one of four associated registers. The
format is shown below in Figure 2.

by the instruction.

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.
The Increment/Decrement command is different from
the other commands. Once the command is issued
and the X9258 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 terminal.

All DCP potentiometers share the serial interface and
share a common architecture. Each potentiometer has
a Wiper Counter Register and four Data Registers. A
detailed discussion of the register organization and
array operation follows.
Wiper Counter Register
The X9258 contains four 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
7
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. Finally, it is loaded with the contents of its
data register zero (R0) upon power-up.
FN8168.1
May 6, 2005
X9258
The WCR is a volatile register; that is, its contents are
lost when the X9258 is powered-down. Although the
register is automatically loaded with the value in R0
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.

Four 8-bit Data Registers for each DCP. (sixteen 8-bit
registers in total).

volatile data storage or for storage of up to four
different wiper values. The contents of Data Register

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 REQUIREMENT
The are no restrictions on the sequencing of the bias supplies VCC, V+, and V- provided that all three supplies reach
their final values within 1msec of each other. At all times, the voltages on the potentiometer pins must be less than V+
and more than V-. The recall of the wiper position from nonvolatile memory is not in effect until all supplies reach their
final value. The VCC ramp rate spec is always in effect.
Notes: (5) This parameter is periodically sampled and not 100% tested.
(6) tPUR and tPUW are the delays required from the time the third (last) power supply (VCC, V+ or V-) is stable until the specific
instruction can be issued. These parameters are periodically sampled and not 100% tested.
(7) Sample tested only.
