DESCRIPTION

The X9271 integrates a single 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 SPI bus interface. The 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.

Characteristics subject to change without notice. 4 of 23REV 1.1.7 2/6/03 www.xicor.com PIN DESCRIPTIONS Bus Interface Pins S ERIAL O UTPUT (SO) SO is a serial data output pin. During a read cycle, data is shifted out on this pin. Data is clocked out by the falling edge of the serial clock. S ERIAL I NPUT SI is the serial data input pin. All opcodes, byte addresses and data to be written to the pots and pot registers are input on this pin. Data is latched by the rising edge of the serial clock. S ERIAL C LOCK (SCK) The SCK input is used to clock data into and out of the X9271. H OLD (HOLD) HOLD is used in conjunction with the CS pin to select the de vice. Once the part is selected and a serial sequence is underway, HOLD may be used to pause the serial communication with the controller without resetting the serial sequence. To pause, HOLD must be brought LOW while SCK is LOW. To resume communication, HOLD is brought HIGH, again while SCK is LOW. If the pause feature is not used, HOLD should be held HIGH at all times. CMOS level input. D EVICE A DDRESS (A1 - A0) The address inputs are used to set the 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 X9271. C HIP S ELECT (CS) When CS is HIGH, the X9271 is deselected and the SO pin is at high impedance, and (unless an internal write cycle is underway) the device will be in the standby state. CS LOW enables the X9271, placing it in the active power mode. It should be noted that after a power-up, a HIGH to LOW transition on CS is required prior to the start of any operation. Potentiometer Pins R H , R L The R H and R L pins are equivalent to the terminal connections on a mechanical potentiometer. R W The wiper pin are equivalent to the wiper terminal of a mechanical potentiometer. Supply Pins S YSTEM S UPPLY V OLTAGE CC AND S UPPLY G ROUND SS The V CC pin is the system supply voltage. The V SS pin is the system ground. Other Pins H ARDWARE W RITE P ROTECT I NPUT (WP) The WP pin when LOW prevents nonvolatile writes to the Data Registers. N O C ONNECT No connect pins should be left floating. This pins are used for Xicor manufacturing and testing purposes.

I DENTIFICATION BYTE (ID AND A) The first byte sent to the X9271 from the host, following a CS going HIGH to LOW, is called the Identification byte. The most significant four bits of the slave address are a device type identifier. The ID[3:0] bits is the device id for the X9271; this is fixed as 0101[B] (refer to Table 4). The A1-A0 bits in the ID byte is the internal slave address. The physical device address is defined by the state of the A1-A0 input pins. The slave address is externally specified by the user. The X9271 compares the serial data stream with the address input state; a successful compare of both address bits is required for the X9271 to successfully continue the command sequence. Only the device which slave address matches the incoming device address sent by the master executes the instruction. The A1-A0 inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input signals or tied to V CC or VSS. INSTRUCTION BYTE (I[3:0]) The next byte sent to the X9271 contains the instruction and register pointer information. The three 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. P0 is the POT selection; since the X9271 is single POT, the P0=0. The format is shown in Table 5. R EGISTER BANK SELECTION (R1, R0, P1, P0) There are 16 registers organized into four banks. Bank 0 is the default bank of registers. Only Bank 0 registers can be used for data register to Wiper Counter Register operations. Banks 1, 2, and 3 are additional banks of registers (12 total) that can be used for SPI write and read operations. The data registers in Banks 1, 2, and 3 cannot be used for direct read/write operations between the Wiper Counter Register.
