Dual Digitally Controlled Potentiometer (XDCP™) Low Noise, Low Power, SPI®
Bus, 128 Taps, Wiper Only
The ISL22429 integrates two digitally controlled
potentiometers (DCP) and non-volatile memory on a
monolithic CMOS integrated circuit.
Features
• Two potentiometers in one package
The digitally controlled potentiometers are implemented with
a combination of resistor elements and CMOS switches. The
position of the wipers are controlled by the user through the
SPI serial interface. Each potentiometer has an associated
volatile Wiper Register (WR) and a non-volatile Initial Value
Register (IVR) that can be directly written to and read by the
user. The contents of the WR controls the position of the
wiper. At power-up the device recalls the contents of the
DCP’s IVR to the corresponding WR.
The DCP can be used as a voltage divider in a wide variety
of applications including control, parameter adjustments, AC
measurement and signal processing.

Pin Description
Potentiometer Pins
RWI (I = 0, 1)
RW
RWi is the wiper terminal and is equivalent to the movable
terminal of a mechanical potentiometer. The position of the
wiper within the array is determined by the WRi register.
SHDN
The SHDN pin forces the resistors to end-to-end open circuit
condition and shorts RWi to GND. When SHDN is returned
to logic high, the previous latch settings put RWi at the same
resistance setting prior to shutdown. This pin is logically
AND with SHDN bit in ACR register. SPI interface is still
available in shutdown mode and all registers are accessible.
This pin must remain HIGH for normal operation.
FIGURE 11. DCP CONNECTION IN SHUTDOWN MODE
Bus Interface Pins
SERIAL CLOCK (SCK)
This is the serial clock input of the SPI serial interface.
SERIAL DATA OUTPUT (SDO)
The SDO is an open drain serial data output pin. During a
read cycle, the data bits are shifted out at the falling edge of
the serial clock SCK, while the CS input is low.
SDO requires an external pull-up resistor for proper
operation.
FN6332 Rev 2.00

ISL22429
SERIAL DATA INPUT (SDI)
The SDI is the serial data input pin for the SPI interface. It
receives device address, operation code, wiper address and
data from the SPI external host device. The data bits are
shifted in at the rising edge of the serial clock SCK, while the
CS input is low.
CHIP SELECT (CS)
CS LOW enables the ISL22429, placing it in the active power
mode. A HIGH to LOW transition on CS is required prior to the
start of any operation after power up. When CS is HIGH, the
ISL22429 is deselected and the SDO pin is at high impedance,
and (unless an internal write cycle is underway) the device will
be in the standby state.
WRi and IVRi can be read or written to directly using the SPI
serial interface as described in the following sections.
Memory Description
The ISL22429 contains seven non-volatile and three volatile 8bit registers. The memory map of ISL22429 is on Table 1. The
two non-volatile registers (IVRi) at address 0 and 1, contain
initial wiper value and volatile registers (WRi) contain current
wiper position. In addition, five non-volatile General Purpose
registers from address 2 to address 6 are available.

Principles of Operation
The ISL22429 is an integrated circuit incorporating two DCPs
with its associated registers, non-volatile memory and the SPI
serial interface providing direct communication between host
and potentiometers and memory. The resistor array is
comprised of individual resistors connected in series. At either
end of the array and between each resistor is an electronic
switch that transfers the potential at that point to the wiper.
The electronic switches on the device operate in a “make
before break” mode when the wiper changes tap positions.
When the device is powered down, the last value stored in IVRi
will be maintained in the non-volatile memory. When power is
restored, the contents of the IVRi is recalled and loaded into
the corresponding WRi to set the wiper to the initial value.

The non-volatile IVRi and volatile WRi registers are accessible
with the same address.
The Access Control Register (ACR) contains information and
control bits described below in Table 2.
The VOL bit (ACR[7]) determines whether the access is to
wiper registers WRi or initial value registers IVRi.
TABLE 2. ACCESS CONTROL REGISTER (ACR)
DCP Description
Each DCP is implemented with a combination of resistor
elements and CMOS switches. The physical ends of each DCP
are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer and internally connected to Vcc and GND. The
RW pin of each DCP is connected to intermediate nodes, and
is equivalent to the wiper terminal of a mechanical
potentiometer. The position of the wiper terminal within the
DCP is controlled by volatile Wiper Register (WR). Each DCP
has its own WR. When the WR of a DCP contains all zeroes
(WR[6:0] = 00h), its wiper terminal (RW) is closest to GND.
When the WR register of a DCP contains all ones (WR[6:0] =
7Fh), its wiper terminal (RW) is closest to VCC. As the value of
the WR increases from all zeroes (0) to all ones (127 decimal),
the wiper moves monotonically from the position closest to
GND to the closest to VCC.
While the ISL22429 is being powered up, all two WRs are
reset to 40h (64 decimal), which locates RW roughly at the
center between GND and Vcc. After the power supply voltage
becomes large enough for reliable non-volatile memory
reading, all WRs will be reload with the value stored in
corresponding non-volatile Initial Value Registers (IVRs).

If VOL bit is 0, the non-volatile IVRi register is accessible. If
VOL bit is 1, only the volatile WRi is accessible. Note, value is
written to IVRi register also is written to the WRi. The default
value of this bit is 0.
The SHDN bit (ACR[6]) disables or enables Shutdown mode.
This bit is logically AND with SHDN pin. When this bit is 0,
DCPs are in Shutdown mode. The default value of SHDN bit is
1.
The WIP bit (ACR[5]) is read only bit. It indicates that
non-volatile write operation is in progress. The WIP bit can be
read repeatedly after a non-volatile write to determine if the
write has been completed. It is impossible to write to the IVRi,
WRi or ACR while WIP bit is 1.
Shutdown Mode
The device can be put in Shutdown mode either by pulling the
SHDN pin to GND or setting the SHDN bit in the ACR register to
0. The truth table for Shutdown mode is in Table 3.
The SPI interface register address bits have to be set to 0000b
or 0001b to access the WR of DCP0 or DCP1 respectively. The

The ISL22429 supports an SPI serial protocol, mode 0. The
device is accessed via the SDI input and SDO output with data
clocked in on the rising edge of SCK, and clocked out on the
falling edge of SCK. CS must be LOW during communication
with the ISL22429. SCK and CS lines are controlled by the
host or master. The ISL22429 operates only as a slave device.
A Write operation to the ISL22429 is a three-byte operation. It
requires first, the CS transition from HIGH to LOW, then a valid
Identification Byte, then a valid instruction byte following by
Data Byte is sent to SDI pin. The host terminates the write
operation by pulling the CS pin from LOW to HIGH. For a write
to addresses 0000b or 0001b, the MSB at address 8 (ACR[7])
determines if the Data Byte is to be written to volatile or both
volatile and non-volatile registers. Refer to “Memory
Description” on page 9 and Figure 12.
Device can receive more than one byte of data by auto
incrementing the address after each received byte. Note after
reaching the address 0110b, the internal pointer “rolls over” to
address 0000b.
All communication over the SPI interface is conducted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.
The internal non-volatile write cycle starts after rising edge of
CS and takes up to 20ms. Thus, non-volatile registers must be
written individually.
Protocol Conventions
Read Operation
The first byte sent to the ISL22429 from the SPI host is the
Identification Byte. A valid Identification Byte contains 0101 as
the four MSBs, with the following four bits set to 0.
A read operation to the ISL22429 is a three-byte operation. It
requires first, the CS transition from HIGH to LOW, then a valid
Identification Byte, then a valid instruction byte following by
“dummy” Data Byte is sent to SDI pin. The SPI host reads the
data from SDO pin on falling edge of SCK. The host terminates
the read operation by pulling the CS pin from LOW to HIGH
(see Figure 13).

The next byte sent to the ISL22429 contains the instruction

The ISL22429 will provide the Data Bytes to the SDO pin as
long as SCK is provided by the host from the registers
indicated by an internal pointer. This pointer initial value is
determined by the register address in the Read operation
instruction, and increments by one during transmission of each
Data Byte. After reaching the memory location 0110b, the
pointer “rolls over” to 0000b, and the device continues to
output the data for each received SCK clock.
In order to read back the non-volatile IVR, it is recommended
that the application reads the ACR first to verify the WIP bit is
0. If the WIP bit (ACR[5]) is not 0, the host should repeat its
reading sequence again.

Applications Information
Communicating with ISL22429
Communication with ISL22429 proceeds using SPI interface
through the ACR (address 1000b), IVRi (addresses 0000b,
0001b) and WRi (addresses 0000b, 0001b) registers.
The wiper of the potentiometer is controlled by the WRi
register. Writes and reads can be made directly to these
registers to control and monitor the wiper position without any
non-volatile memory changes. This is done by setting MSB bit
at address 1000b to 1.
The non-volatile IVRi stores the power up value of the wiper.
IVRs are accessible when MSB bit at address 1000b is set to
0. Writing a new value to the IVRi register will set a new power
up position for the wiper. Also, writing to this register will load
the same value into the corresponding WRi as the IVRi.
Reading from the IVRi will not change the WRi, if its contents
are different.
