(XDCP™)
FN8241.3
Terminal Voltage ±2.7V or ±5V, 128 Taps
I2C Serial Interface
Features
The Intersil ISL95711 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 I2C interface.
• I2C Serial Interface with Hardwire Slave Address Allows
Up to Four Devices per bus
The potentiometer is implemented by a resistor array
composed of 127 resistive elements and a wiper switching
network. The wiper terminal can be connected to either end
of the resistor array or at any one of the Tap Positions in
between, providing 128 steps of resolution between RL and
RH. The “position” of the wiper is determined by the value
assigned to the volatile Wiper Register (WR). This register
has an associated non-volatile Initial Value Register (IVR).
The value stored in the IVR will be written into the WR at
power-up, allowing wiper position recall after power
interruption. The WR and the IVR can be directly written to
and read from using standard I2C interface protocol. The
device is available in either a 10kor 50k version.
• 128 Wiper Tap Points
- Wiper position can be stored in nonvolatile memory and
recalled on power-up
The device can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or
as a two-terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of
applications including:
• High Reliability
- Endurance, 200,000 data changes per bit
- Register data retention, 50 years

NOTES:
1. Typical values are for TA = +25°C and ±5V supply voltage.
2. LSB: [V(RW)127 – V(RW)0]/127. V(RW)127 and V(RW)0 are V(RW) for the DCP register set to 7F hex and 00 hex respectively. LSB is the
incremental voltage when changing from one tap to an adjacent tap.
3. ZS error = (V(RW)0 – V-)/LSB.
4. FS error = [V(RW)127 – VCC]/LSB.
5. DNL = [V(RW)i – V(RW)i-1]/LSB-1, for i = 1 to 127. i is the DCP register setting.

13. This parameter is not 100% tested.
14. tWC is the minimum cycle time to be allowed for any non-volatile Write by the user, unless Acknowledge Polling is used. It is the time from a
valid STOP condition at the end of a Write sequence of a I2C serial interface Write operation, to the end of the self-timed internal non-volatile
write cycle.

RH AND RL
SDA requires an external pull-up resistor, since it’s an open
drain input/output.
The high (RH) and low (RL) terminals of the ISL95711 are
equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer. RH and RH are referenced to the relative
position of the wiper and not the voltage potential on the
terminals. With WR set to 127, the wiper will be closest to
RH, and with the WR set to 00, the wiper is closest to RL
SCL requires an external pull-up resistor, since it’s an open
drain input.
RW
DEVICE ADDRESS (A1-A0)
Rw is the wiper terminal and is equivalent to the movable
terminal of a mechanical potentiometer. The position of the
wiper within the array is determined by the WR.
The Address inputs are used to set the least significant 2 bits
of the 7-bit I2C interface slave address. A match in the slave
address serial data stream must be made with the Address
input pins in order to initiate communication with the
ISL95711. A maximum of 4 ISL95711 devices may occupy
the I2C serial bus.
Bus Interface Pins
SERIAL DATA INPUT/OUTPUT (SDA)
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
This input is the serial clock of the I2C serial interface.
The SDA is a bidirectional serial data input/output pin for the
I2C interface. It receives device address, operation code,

Principles of Operation
DCP Description
The ISL95711 is an integrated circuit incorporating one DCP
with it’s associated register, non-volatile memory, and the
I2C serial interface providing direct communication between
a host and the potentiometer and memory. The resistor array
is comprised of 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 DCP is implemented with a combination of resistor
elements and CMOS switches. The physical ends of the
DCP are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer (RH and RL pins). The RW pin is connected to
intermediate nodes, and is equivalent to the wiper terminal
of a mechanical potentiometer. The position of the wiper
terminal is controlled by a 7-bit volatile Wiper Register (WR).
When the WR contains all zeroes (00h), the wiper terminal
(RW) is closest to its “Low” terminal (RL). When the WR
contains all ones (7Fh), the wiper terminal (RW) is closest to
its “High” terminal (RH). As the value of the WR increases
from all zeroes (00h) to all ones (7Fh), the wiper moves
monotonically from the position closest to RL to the position
closest to RH. At the same time, the resistance between RW
and RL increases monotonically, while the resistance
between RH and RW decreases monotonically.
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.
The electronic switches on the device operate in a “make
before break” mode when the wiper changes tap positions.
When the device is powered-down, the last value stored in
the IVR will be maintained in the nonvolatile memory. When
power is restored, the contents of the IVR are recalled and
the wiper is set to that value.
The ISL95711 has dual supplies, VCC and V-. For proper
operation of the chip, it is recommended both power
supplies ramp up simultaneously to their final values within
20ms. The chip design gives priority to the V- supply
stabilization and then looks at VCC stabilization. As the Vsupply goes below -2.5V, the RW pin goes to the default
code of 64. As VCC also exceeds 2.5V (after V- < -2.5V), the
RW pin goes to the code stored in the EEPROM memory
value (this is referred as power on recall).
While the ISL95711 is being powered up, the WR is reset to
40h (64 decimal), which locates the RW at the center
between RL and RH. Soon after the power supply voltage
becomes large enough for reliable non-volatile memory
reading (~ ±2.5V), the ISL95711 reads the value stored on a
non-volatile Initial Value Register (IVR) and loads it into the
WR.
The WR and IVR can be read or written directly using the
I2C serial interface as described in the following sections.
Memory Description
The ISL95711 contains 1 non-volatile byte know as the Initial
Value Register (IVR). It is accessed by the I2C interface
operations with Address 00h. The IVR contains the value
which is loaded into the Volatile Wiper Register (WR) at
power-up.
The volatile WR, and the non-volatile IVR of a DCP are
accessed with the same address.

The Access Control Register (ACR) determines which byte
at address 00h is accessed (IVR or WR). The volatile ACR
must be set as follows:
When the ACR is all zeroes, which is the default at
power-up:
• A read operation to address 0 outputs the value of the
non-volatile IVR.
• A write operation to address 0 writes the same value to
the WR and IVR of the corresponding DCP.
When the ACR is 80h:
• A read operation to address 0 outputs the value of the
volatile WR.
• A write operation to address 0 only writes to the
corresponding volatile WR.
It is not possible to write to an IVR without writing the same
value to its corresponding WR.
00h and 80h are the only values that should be written to
address 2. All other values are reserved and must not be
written to address 2.

and SCL lines for the START condition and does not respond
to any command until this condition is met (See Figure 15). A
START condition is ignored during the power-up sequence
and during internal non-volatile write cycles.
All I2C interface operations must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH (See Figure 15). A STOP condition at the end
of a read operation, or at the end of a write operation to
volatile bytes only places the device in its standby mode. A
STOP condition during a write operation to a non-volatile
byte, initiates an internal non-volatile write cycle. The device
enters its standby state when the internal non-volatile write
cycle is completed.
An ACK, Acknowledge, is a software convention used to
indicate a successful data transfer. The transmitting device,
either master or slave, releases the SDA bus after
transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the
receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to acknowledge the
reception of the eight bits of data (See Figure 16).
The ISL95711 responds with an ACK after recognition of a
START condition followed by a valid Identification Byte, and
once again after successful receipt of an Address Byte. The
ISL95711 also responds with an ACK after receiving a Data
Byte of a write operation. The master must respond with an
ACK after receiving a Data Byte of a read operation
A valid Identification Byte contains 01010 as the five MSBs,
and the following two bits matching the logic values present
at pins A1, and A0. The LSB is in the Read/Write bit. Its
value is “1” for a Read operation, and “0” for a Write
operation. (See Table 2.)
TABLE 2. IDENTIFICATION BYTE FORMAT
Logic values at pins A1, and A0 respectively
I2C Serial Interface
The ISL95711 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 always
initiates data transfers and provides the clock for both
transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the ISL95711
operates as a slave device in all applications.

Write Operation
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW periods. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating START and STOP conditions (See
Figure 15). On power-up of the ISL95711 the SDA pin is in
the input mode.
A Write operation requires a START condition, followed by a
valid Identification Byte, a valid Address Byte, a Data Byte,
and a STOP condition. After each of the three bytes, the
ISL95711 responds with an ACK. At this time, if the Data
Byte is to be written only to volatile registers, then the device
enters its standby state. If the Data Byte is to be written also
to non-volatile memory, the ISL95711 begins its internal write
cycle to non-volatile memory. During the internal non-volatile
write cycle, the device ignores transitions at the SDA and
SCL pins, and the SDA output is at a high impedance state.
When the internal non-volatile write cycle is completed, the
ISL95711 enters its standby state (See Figure 17).
All I2C interface operations must begin with a START
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH. The ISL95711 continuously monitors the SDA
The byte at address 02h determines if the Data Byte is to be
written to volatile or both volatile and non-volatile. (See
“Memory Description” on page 9.)
All communication over the I2C interface is conducted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.

Data Protection
Read Operation
A STOP condition acts as a protection of non-volatile
memory. A valid Identification Byte, Address Byte, and total
number of SCL pulses act as a protection of both volatile
and non-volatile registers. During a Write sequence, the
Data Byte is loaded into an internal shift register as it is
received. If the Address Byte is 0 or 2, the Data Byte is
transferred to the Wiper Register (WR) or to the Access
Control Register respectively, at the falling edge of the SCL
pulse that loads the last bit (LSB) of the Data Byte. If the
Address Byte is 0, and the Access Control Register is all
zeros (default), then the STOP condition initiates the internal
write cycle to non-volatile memory.
A Read operation consists of a three byte instruction
followed by one or more Data Bytes (See Figure 18). The
master initiates the operation issuing the following
sequence: a START, the Identification byte with the R/W bit
set to “0”, an Address Byte, a second START, and a second
Identification byte with the R/W bit set to “1”. After each of
the three bytes, the ISL95711 responds with an ACK; then
the ISL95711 transmits the Data Byte. The master then
terminates the read operation (issuing a STOP condition)
following the last bit of the Data Byte (See Figure 18).
The byte at address 02h determines if the Data Bytes being
read are from volatile or non-volatile memory. (See “Memory
Description”.)

Register Description: IVR and WR
There are 3 register addresses in the ISL95711, of which two
can be used. Address 00h and address 02h are used to
control the device. Address 01h is reserved and should not
be used. Address 00h contains the non-volatile Initial Value
Register (IVR), and the volatile Wiper Register (WR).
Address 02h contains only a volatile word and is used as a
pointer to either the IVR or WR. See Table 1.
The ISL95711 has a single potentiometer. The wiper of the
potentiometer is controlled directly by the WR. Writes and
reads can be made directly to this register to control and
monitor the wiper position without any non-volatile memory
changes. This is done by setting address 02h to data 80h,
then writing the data.
The non-volatile IVR stores the power-up value of the wiper.
On power-up, the contents of the IVR are transferred to the
WR.
Register Descriptions: Access Control
The Access Control Register (ACR) is volatile and is at
address 02h. It is 8-bits, and only the MSB is significant, all
other bits should be zero (0). The ACR controls which word
is accessed at register 00h as follows:
To write to the IVR, first address 02h is set to data 00h, then
the data is written. Writing a new value to the IVR register
will set a new power-up position for the wiper. Also, writing to
this register will load the same value into the WR as the IVR.
So, if a new value is loaded into the IVR, not only will the
non-volatile IVR change, but the WR will also contain the
same value after the write, and the wiper position will
change. Reading from the IVR will not change the WR, if its
contents are different.
00h = Nonvolatile IVR
80h = Volatile WR
All other bits of the ACR should be written to as zeros. Only
the MSB can be either 0 or 1. Power-up default for this
address is 00h.
