Low Noise/Low Power/SPI Bus Quad, 64 Tap, Digitally Controlled Potentiometer
(XDCP™)
Description
Features
The X9401 integrates 4 digitally controlled potentiometers
(XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS integrated microcircuit.
• Quad - 4 Separate Pots, 64 Taps/Pot
The digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented using
64 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 SPI bus interface. Each
potentiometer has associated with it a volatile Wiper Counter
Register (WCR) and 4 nonvolatile Data Registers
(DR0:DR3) 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 through the switches. Power-up
recalls the contents of 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.

Pin Descriptions
Host Interface Pins
SERIAL OUTPUT (SO)
SO is a push/pull serial data output pin. During a read cycle,
data is shifted out on this pin. Data is clocked out by the falling
edge of the serial clock.
SERIAL INPUT
SI is the serial data input pin. All opcodes, byte addresses and
data to be written to the pots and pot registers are input on this
pin. Data is latched by the rising edge of the serial clock.
FN8190 Rev 5.00
September 14, 2015
SERIAL CLOCK (SCK)
The SCK input is used to clock data into and out of the X9401.
CHIP SELECT (CS)
When CS is HIGH, the X9401 is deselected and the SO pin is
at high impedance, and (unless an internal write cycle is
underway) the device will be in the standby state. CS LOW
enables the X9401, placing it in the active power mode. It
should be noted that after a power-up, a HIGH to LOW
transition on CS is required prior to the start of any operation.

HOLD (HOLD)
(24 LD TSSOP)
TOP VIEW
HOLD is used in conjunction with the CS pin to select the
device. Once the part is selected and a serial sequence is
underway, HOLD may be used to pause the serial
communication with the controller without resetting the serial
sequence. To pause, HOLD must be brought LOW while SCK
is LOW. To resume communication, HOLD is brought HIGH,
again while SCK is LOW. If the pause feature is not used,
HOLD should be held HIGH at all times.

Serial Interface
The X9401 supports the SPI interface hardware conventions.
The device is accessed via the SI input with data clocked in on
the rising SCK. CS must be LOW and the HOLD and WP pins
must be HIGH during the entire operation.
The SO and SI pins can be connected together, since they
have three state outputs. This can help to reduce system pin
count.
Array Description
The X9401 is comprised of four resistor arrays. Each array
contains 63 discrete resistive segments that are connected in
FN8190 Rev 5.00
September 14, 2015
Page 3 of 20
X9401
series. The physical ends of each array are equivalent to the
fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer (VH/RH and
VL/RL inputs).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor segment
is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper (VW/RW) 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 six bits of the WCR are decoded to select, and
enable, one of sixty-four switches.
Wiper Counter Register (WCR)
The X9401 contains four Wiper Counter Registers, one for
each XDCP potentiometer. The WCR is equivalent to a serialin, parallel-out register/counter with its outputs decoded to
select one of sixty-four switches along its resistor array. The
contents of the WCR can be altered in four ways: it may be
written directly by the host via the Write Wiper Counter
Register instruction (serial load); it may be written indirectly by
transferring the contents of one of four associated data
registers via the XFR Data Register or Global XFR Data
Register instructions (parallel load); it can be modified one step
at a time by the Increment/Decrement instruction. Finally, it is
loaded with the contents of its data register zero (R0) upon
power-up.
The Wiper Counter Register is a volatile register; that is, its
contents are lost when the X9401 is powered-down. Although
the register is automatically loaded with the value in R0 upon
power-up, this may be different from the value present at
power-down. The wiper position must be stored in R0 to insure
restoring the wiper position after power-up.
Data Registers
Each potentiometer has four 6-bit nonvolatile data registers.
These can be read or written directly by the host. Data can also
be transferred between any of the four data registers and the
associated Wiper Counter Register. All operations changing
data in one of the data registers is a nonvolatile operation and
will take a maximum of 10ms.
If the application does not require storage of multiple settings
for the potentiometer, the data registers can be used as
memory locations for system parameters or user preference
data.
progress of this internal write operation can be monitored by a
Write In Process bit (WIP). The WIP bit is read with a Read
Status command.
Instructions
Identification (ID) Byte
The first byte sent to the X9401 from the host, following a CS
going HIGH to LOW, is called the Identification byte. The most
significant four bits of the slave address are a device type
identifier. For the X9401 this is fixed as 0101[B] (refer to Figure
1).
The two least significant bits in the ID byte select one of four
devices on the bus. The physical device address is defined by
the state of the A0 - A1 input pins. The X9401 compares the
serial data stream with the address input state; a successful
compare of both address bits is required for the X9401 to
successfully continue the command sequence. The A0 - A1
inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input signals or tied to
VCC or VSS. The remaining two bits in the slave byte must be
set to 0.

Write in Process
The four high order bits of the instruction byte specify the
operation. The next two bits (R1 and R0) select one of the four
registers that is to be acted upon when a register oriented
instruction is issued. The last two bits (P1 and P0) selects
which one of the four potentiometers is to be affected by the
instruction.
The contents of the Data Registers are saved to nonvolatile
memory when the CS pin goes from LOW to HIGH after a
complete write sequence is received by the device. The
FN8190 Rev 5.00

X9401
Four of the ten instructions are two bytes in length and end
with the transmission of the instruction byte. These instructions
are:
• XFR Data Register to Wiper Counter Register: This transfers
the contents of one specified Data Register to the associated
Wiper Counter Register.
Similarly, for each SCK clock pulse while SI is LOW, the
selected wiper will move one resistor segment towards the
VL/RL terminal. A detailed illustration of the sequence and
timing for this operation are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7.
• XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data Register: This transfers
the contents of the specified Wiper Counter Register to the
specified associated Data Register.
• Global XFR Data Register to Wiper Counter Register: This
transfers the contents of all specified Data Registers to the
associated Wiper Counter Registers.
• Global XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data
Register: This transfers the contents of all Wiper Counter
Registers to the specified associated Data Registers.
The basic sequence of the two byte instructions is illustrated in
Figure 3. These two-byte instructions exchange data between
the WCR and one of the data registers. A transfer from a data
register to a WCR is essentially a write to a static RAM, with
the static RAM controlling the wiper position. The response of
the wiper to this action will be delayed by tWRL. A transfer from
the WCR (current wiper position), to a data register is a write to
nonvolatile memory and takes a minimum of tWR to complete.
The transfer can occur between one of the four potentiometers
and one of its associated registers; or it may occur globally,
where the transfer occurs between all potentiometers and one
associated register.
Five instructions require a three-byte sequence to complete.
These instructions transfer data between the host and the
X9401; either between the host and one of the data registers or
directly between the host and the Wiper Counter Register.
These instructions are:
• Read Wiper Counter Register: read the current wiper
position of the selected pot,
• Write Wiper Counter Register: change current wiper position
of the selected pot,
• Read Data Register: read the contents of the selected data
register;
• Write Data Register: write a new value to the selected data
register.
• Read Status: This command returns the contents of the WIP
bit which indicates if the internal write cycle is in progress.
The sequence of these operations is shown in Figure 4 and
Figure 5.
The final command is Increment/Decrement. It is different from
the other commands, because it’s length is indeterminate.
Once the command is issued, the master can clock the
selected wiper up and/or down in one resistor segment steps;
thereby, providing a fine tuning capability to the host. For each
SCK clock pulse (tHIGH) while SI is HIGH, the selected wiper
will move one resistor segment towards the VH/RH terminal.

NOTES:
7. Absolute linearity is utilized to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a
potentiometer.
8. Relative linearity is utilized to determine the actual change in voltage between two successive tap positions when used as a potentiometer. It is
a measure of the error in step size.
9. MI = RTOT/63 or (VH - VL)/63, single pot.
10. Parameters with MIN and/or MAX limits are 100% tested at +25°C, unless otherwise specified. Temperature limits established by
characterization and are not production tested.
Power-up and Down Requirements
The are no restrictions on the power-up or power-down
conditions of VCC and the voltages applied to the potentiometer pins provided that VCC is always more positive than or
equal to VH, VL, and VW, i.e., VCC VH, VL, VW.
The VCC power-up spec is always in effect.
