DESCRIPTION

The

X9269

integrates

2

digitally

controlled

potentiometer

(XDCP)

on

a

monolithic

CMOS

integrated circuit.

The digital 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 a four nonvolatile Data Registers 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. Powerup

recalls the contents of the default Data Register (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.
