Quad, 128 Tap, Low Voltage Digitally Controlled Potentiometer (XDCP™)
The ISL23448 is a volatile, low voltage, low noise, low power,
128 tap, quad digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) with an
SPI Bus™ interface. It integrates four DCP cores, wiper
switches and control logic on a monolithic CMOS integrated
circuit.
Each digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented with a
combination of resistor elements and CMOS switches. The
position of the wipers are controlled by the user through the
SPI bus interface. Each potentiometer has an associated
volatile Wiper Register (WRi, i = 0, 1, 2, 3) that can be directly
written to and read by the user. The contents of the WRi
controls the position of the wiper. When powered on, the wiper
of each DCP will always commence at mid-scale (64 tap
position).
The low voltage, low power consumption, and small package
of the ISL23448 make it an ideal choice for use in battery
operated equipment. In addition, the ISL23448 has a V
LOGIC
pin allowing down to 1.2V bus operation, independent from the
V
CC
value. This allows for low logic levels to be connected
directly to the ISL23448 without passing through a voltage
level shifter.
The DCP 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.

• Shutdown Mode
- Forces the DCP into an end-to-end open circuit and RWi is
connected to RLi internally
- Reduces power consumption by disconnecting the DCP
resistor from the circuit
• Wiper resistance: 70Ω typical @ V
