Pin Descriptions
Potentiometer Pins
Bus Interface Pins
RH, RL
The RH and RL pins are equivalent to the terminal
connections on a mechanical potentiometer. Since there are
4 potentiometers, there are 4 sets of RH and RL such that
RH0 and RL0 are the terminals of DCP0 and so on.
SERIAL DATA INPUT/OUTPUT (SDA)
The SDA is a bidirectional serial data input/output pin for a 2Wire slave device and is used to transfer data into and out of
the device. It receives device address, opcode, wiper
register address and data sent from a 2-Wire master at the
rising edge of the serial clock SCL, and it shifts out data after
each falling edge of the serial clock SCL.
RW
The wiper pin are equivalent to the wiper terminal of a
mechanical potentiometer. Since there are 4 potentiometers,
there are 4 sets of RW such that RW0 is the terminal of
DCP0 and so on.
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.
Bias Supply Pins
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
SYSTEM SUPPLY VOLTAGE (VCC) AND SUPPLY
GROUND (VSS)
This input is used by 2-Wire master to supply 2-Wire serial
clock to the X9259.
The VCC pin is the system supply voltage. The VSS pin is
the system ground.
DEVICE ADDRESS (A3 THROUGH A0)
Other Pins
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 X9259. A maximum
of 16 devices may occupy the 2-Wire serial bus. Device pins
A3 through A0 must be tied to a logic level which specifies
the external address of the device, see Figures 3, 4, and 5.
NO CONNECT
No connect pins should be left open. This pins are used for
Intersil manufacturing and testing purposes.
HARDWARE WRITE PROTECT INPUT (WP)
The WP pin when LOW prevents non-volatile writes to the
Data Registers.

X9259
Principles of Operation
The X9259 is an integrated circuit incorporating four DCPs
and their associated registers and counters, and the serial
interface providing direct communication between a host
and the potentiometers.
DCP Description
Each DCP is implemented with a combination of resistor
elements and CMOS switches. The physical ends of each
DCP are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer (RH and RL pins). The RW pin is an
intermediate node, equivalent to the wiper terminal of a
mechanical potentiometer.
The position of the wiper terminal within the DCP is
controlled by an 8-bit volatile Wiper Counter Register
(WCR).
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 (see Instruction
section for more details). Finally, it is loaded with the
contents of its data register zero (DR#0) upon power-up.
(See Figure 1)
The Wiper Counter Register is a volatile register; that is, its
contents are lost when the X9259 is powered-down.
Although the register is automatically loaded with the value
in DR#0 upon power-up, this may be different from the value
present at power-down. Power-up guidelines are
recommended to ensure proper loadings of the DR#0 value
into the WCR# (See Design Considerations Section).
Data Registers (DR)
Power Up and Down Recommendations
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, VL, and VW, i.e., VCC ≥ VH, VL,
VW. The VCC ramp rate specification is always in effect.
Wiper Counter Register (WCR)
The X9259 contains four Wiper Counter Registers, one for
each potentiometer. The Wiper Counter Register can be
envisioned as a 8-bit parallel and serial load counter with its
outputs decoded to select one of 256 wiper positions 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
Each of the four DCPs has four 8-bit non-volatile Data
Registers. These can be read or written directly by the host.
Data can also be transferred between any of the four data
registers and the associated Wiper Counter Register. All
operations changing data in one of the data registers is a
non-volatile operation and takes a maximum of 10ms.
If the application does not require storage of multiple
settings for the potentiometer, the Data Registers can be
used as regular memory locations for system parameters or
user preference data.
Bit [7:0] are used to store one of the 256 wiper positions
(0 ~ 255).

X9259
Serial Interface
Acknowledge
The X9259 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 provide the clock for both
transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the X9259
operates as a slave device in all applications.
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 3.
All 2-wire interface operations must begin with a START,
followed by an Identification Byte, that selects the X9259. All
communication over the 2-wire interface is conducted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.
Clock and Data Conventions
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 2. On power up of the X9259 the SDA pin is in the
input mode.
START Condition
All commands to the X9259 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH. The X9259 continuously monitors the SDA
and SCL lines for the START condition and does not
respond to any command until this condition is met. See
Figure 2.
The X9259 responds with an ACK after recognition of a
START condition followed by a valid Identification Byte, and
once again after successful receipt of an Instruction Byte.
The X9259 also responds with an ACK after receiving a Data
Byte after a Write Instruction.
A valid Identification Byte contains the Device Type Identifier
0101, as the four MSBs, and the Device Address bits
matching the logic states of pins A3, A2, A1, and A0, as the
four LSBs. See Figure 4.
In the Read mode, the device transmits eight bits of data,
releases the SDA line, and then monitors the line for an
ACK. The device continues transmitting data if an ACK is
detected. The device terminates further data transmissions if
an ACK is not detected. The master must then issue a STOP
condition to place the device into a known state.
During the internal non-volatile Write operation, the X9259
ignores the inputs at SDA and SCL, and does not issue an
ACK after Identification bytes.
STOP Condition
All communications must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH. See Figure 2. The STOP condition is also
used to place the device into the Standby Power mode after
a Read sequence. A STOP condition can only be issued
after the transmitting device has released the bus.

Identification Byte
Data Register Selection
The first byte sent to the X9259 from the host is called the
Identification Byte. The most significant four bits are a
Device Type Identifier, ID[3:0] bits, which must be 0101.
Refer to Table 3.
Only the device which Slave Address matches the incoming
device address sent by the master executes the instruction.
The A3 - A0 inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input
signals or tied to VCC or VSS.
INSTRUCTION BYTE (I)
The next byte sent to the X9259 contains the instruction and
register pointer information. The four most significant bits are
used provide the instruction opcode I [3:0]. The RB and RA
bits point to one of the four data registers of each associated
XDCP. The least two significant bits point to one of four
Wiper Counter Registers or DCPs. The format is shown in
Table 4.

Instructions
or directly between the host and the Wiper Counter Register.
These instructions are:
Four of the nine instructions are three bytes in length. These
instructions are:
• XFR Data Register to Wiper Counter Register – This
transfers the contents of one specified Data Register to
the associated Wiper Counter Register.
• Read Wiper Counter Register – read the current wiper
position of the selected potentiometer,
• XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data Register – This
transfers the contents of the specified Wiper Counter
Register to the specified associated Data Register.
• Write Wiper Counter Register – change current wiper
position of the selected potentiometer,
• Read Data Register – read the contents of the selected
Data Register;
• Global XFR Data Register to Wiper Counter
Register – This transfers the contents of all specified Data
Registers to the associated Wiper Counter Registers.
• Write Data Register – write a new value to the selected
Data Register.
• Global XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data
Register – This transfers the contents of all Wiper
Counter Registers to the specified associated Data
Registers.
The basic sequence of the three byte instructions is
illustrated in Figure 5. These three-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, with the static RAM
controlling the wiper position. The response of the wiper to
this action is delayed by tWRL. A transfer from the 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
potentiometer’s WCR, and one of its associated registers,
DRs; or it may occur globally, where the transfer occurs
between all potentiometers and one associated register.
Increment/Decrement Command
The final command is Increment/Decrement (Figure 6 and
7). The Increment/Decrement command is different from the
other commands. Once the command is issued and the
X9259 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 moves one wiper position towards the RH
terminal. Similarly, for each SCL clock pulse while SDA is
LOW, the selected wiper moves one resistor wiper position
towards the RL terminal.
Four instructions require a two-byte sequence to complete.
These instructions transfer data between the host and the
X9259; either between the host and one of the data registers
