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.

UTPUT
(SDA)
The SDA is a bidirectional serial data input/output pin
for a 2-Wire 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 an
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.
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.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The X9269 is a 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 digitally
controlled potentiometers. This section provides detail
description of the following:
– Resistor Array Description
– Serial Interface Description
– Instruction and Register Description.
Array Description
The X9269 is comprised of a resistor array (See Figure
1). 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 (R
H
and R
L
inputs).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper
(R
W
) output. Within each individual array only one
switch may be turned on at a time.
These switches are controlled by a Wiper Counter
Register (WCR). The 8-bits of the WCR (WCR[7:0])
are decoded to select, and enable, one of 256
switches (See Table 1).
The WCR may be written directly. These Data
Registers can the WCR can be read and written by the
host system.
Power-up and Down Requirements.
There are no restrictions on the power-up or power-
down conditions of V
CC
and the voltages applied to
the potentiometer pins provided that V
CC
is always
more positive than or equal to V
H
, V
L
, and V
W
, i.e.,
V
CC
≥
V
H
, V
L
, V
W
. The V
CC
ramp rate specification is
always in effect.
