DESCRIPTION
The Xicor X9511 is a push button controlled potentiom-
eter that is ideal for push button controlled resistance
trimming.
The X9511 is a resistor array composed of 31 resistive
elements. Between each element and at either end are
tap points accessible to the wiper element. The position
of the wiper element is controlled by the PU and PD
inputs. The position of the wiper can be automatically
stored in E
2
memory and then be recalled upon a sub-
sequent power-on operation.
The resolution of the X9511 is equal to the maximum
resistance value divided by 31. As an example, for the
X9511W (10K
Ω
) each tap point represents 323
Ω
.
All Xicor nonvolatile products are designed and tested
for applications requiring extended endurance and data
retention.

The high (V

) terminals of the
X9511 are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a
mechanical potentiometer. The minimum voltage is –5V
and the maximum is +5V. It should be noted that the
terminology of V

/R
L
and V
H
/R
H
reference the relative
position of the terminal in relation to wiper movement
direction selected by the PU and PD inputs, and not the
voltage potential on the terminal.
PU
The debounced PU input is for incrementing the wiper
position. An on-chip pull-up holds the PU input HIGH. A
switch closure to ground or a LOW logic level will, after
a debounce time, move the wiper to the next adjacent
higher tap position.
PD
The debounced PD input is for decrementing the wiper
position. An on-chip pull-up holds the PD input HIGH. A
switch closure to ground or a LOW logic level will, after
a debounce time, move the wiper to the next adjacent
lower tap position.
ASE
The debounced ASE (AUTOSTORE enable) pin can be
in one of two states:
V
IL
—AUTOSTORE is enabled. When V
CC
powers
down, an automatic store cycle takes place.
V
IH
—AUTOSTORE is disabled. A LOW to HIGH will ini-
tiate a manual store operation. This is for the user who
wishes to connect a push button switch to this pin. For
every valid push, the X9511 will store the current wiper
position to the EEPROM.

DEVICE OPERATION
There are three sections of the X9511: the input control,
counter and decode section; the EEPROM memory; and
the resistor array. The input control section operates just
like an up/down counter. The output of this counter is
decoded to turn on a single electronic switch, connecting
a point on the resistor array to the wiper output. Under
the proper conditions the contents of the counter can be
stored in EEPROM memory and retained for future use.
The resistor array is comprised of 31 individual resistors
connected in series. At either end of the array and
between each resistor is an electronic switch that trans-
fers the potential at that point to the wiper.
The X9511 is designed to interface directly to two push
button switches for effectively moving the wiper up or
down. The PU and PD inputs increment or decrement a
5-bit counter respectively. The output of this counter is
decoded to select one of the thirty-two wiper positions
along the resistive array. The wiper increment input, PU
and the wiper decrement input, PD are both connected
to an internal pull-up so that they normally remain
HIGH. When pulled LOW by an external push button
switch or a logic LOW level input, the wiper will be
switched to the next adjacent tap position.
Internal debounce circuitry prevents inadvertent switch-
ing of the wiper position if PU or PD remain LOW for
less than 40ms, typical. Each of the buttons can be
pushed either once for a single increment/decrement or
continuously for a multiple increments/decrements. The
number of increments/decrements of the wiper position
depend on how long the button is being pushed. When
making a continuous push, after the first second, the
increment/decrement speed increases. For the first
second the device will be in the slow scan mode. Then
if the button is held for longer than 1 second the device
will go into the fast scan mode. As soon as the button is
released the X9511 will return to a standby condition.

X9511
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.
AUTOSTORE
The value of the counter is stored in EEPROM memory
whenever the chip senses a power-down of V
CC
while
ASE is enabled (held LOW). When power is restored,
the content of the memory is recalled and the counter
reset to the last value stored.
If AUTOSTORE is to be implemented, ASE is typically
hard wired to V
SS
. If ASE is held HIGH during power-
up and then taken LOW, the wiper will not respond to
the PU or PD inputs until ASE is brought HIGH and
held HIGH.
