Volatile Digitally Controlled Potentiometer (XDCP™) Terminal Voltage ±3V or ±5V,
128 Taps Up/Down Interface
The Intersil ISL23710 is a digitally controlled potentiometer
(XDCP). The device consists of a resistor array, wiper
switches, and a control section. The wiper position is
controlled by a Up/Down interface.
Features
The potentiometer is implemented by a resistor array
composed of 127 resistive elements and a wiper switching
network. Between each element and at either end are tap
points accessible to the wiper terminal. The position of the
wiper element is controlled by the CS, U/D, and INC inputs.
The wiper register is volatile and is reset to midscale on
power up. The wiper position can be locked while powered
up to prevent inadvertent changes.
• 127 Resistive Elements
- Typical RTOTAL tempco ±50ppm/°C
- Ratiometric tempco ±4ppm/°C
- End to end resistance range ±20%
- Wiper resistance = 70 typ at VCC = 3.3V

as a two-terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of
applications including:

2. LSB: [V(RW)127 – V(RW)0]/127. V(RW)127 and V(RW)0 are V(RW) for the DCP register set to 7F hex and 00 hex respectively. LSB is the
incremental voltage when changing from one tap to an adjacent tap.
3. ZS error = V(RW)0/LSB.
4. FS error = [V(RW)127 – VCC]/LSB.
5. DNL = [V(RW)i – V(RW)i-1]/LSB-1, for i = 1 to 127. i is the DCP register setting.

Power Up and Down Requirements
Chip Select (CS)
In order to prevent unwanted tap position changes, bring the
CS and INC high before or concurrently with the VCC pin on
power-up. The potentiometer voltages must be applied after
this sequence is completed. During power-up, the data sheet
parameters for the DCP do not fully apply until 1ms after VCC
reaches its final value. The wiper will be set to its initial value
(64d) once VCC exceeds VPOR.
The device is selected when the CS input is LOW.
Pin Descriptions
RH and RL
The high (RH) and low (RL) terminals of the ISL23710 are
equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer. The terminology of RL and RH references the
relative position of the terminal in relation to wiper movement
direction selected by the U/D input and not the voltage
potential on the terminal.
Principles of Operation
There are three sections of the ISL23710: the input control,
counter and decode section, 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. The resistor array is comprised of 127 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 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.
Up/Down (U/D)
The electronic switches on the device operate in a “make
before break” mode when the wiper changes tap positions. If
the wiper is moved several positions, multiple taps are
connected to the wiper for tIW (INC to VW change). The
RTOTAL value for the device can temporarily be reduced by a
significant amount if the wiper is moved several positions.
The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper movement
and whether the counter is incriminated or decremented.
Instructions and Programming
RW
Rw 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 control inputs.
Increment (INC)
The INC input is negative-edge triggered. Toggling INC will
move the wiper and either increment or decrement the counter
in the direction indicated by the logic level on the U/D input.
FN6126 Rev 0.00
August 22, 2005
The INC, U/D and CS inputs control the movement of the wiper
along the resistor array. With CS set LOW the device is
selected and enabled to respond to the U/D and INC inputs.
HIGH to LOW transitions on INC will increment or decrement
(depending on the state of the U/D input) a seven bit counter.
The output of this counter is decoded to select one of onehundred twenty-eight wiper positions along the resistive array.
Page 6 of 8
ISL23710
Bringing CS HIGH after INC is HIGH will cause the wiper value
to be locked until power down (further changes in CS and INC
will not change the wiper position). Otherwise, INC should be
brought HIGH after CS to allow continued wiper changes.
The state of U/D may be changed while CS remains LOW. This
allows the host system to enable the device and then move the
wiper up and down until the proper trim is attained. During
initial power-up CS must go high along with or before VCC to
avoid an accidental tap position change.
