Rev.6.00
Sep 3, 2015
Low Noise/Low Power/2-Wire Bus Quad Digitally Controlled Potentiometers
(XDCP)
Features
The X9409 integrates 4 digitally controlled potentiometers
(XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS integrated microcircuit.
The digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented using
63 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 2-wire 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.
• Four potentiometers per package
• 64 resistor taps
• 2-wire serial interface for write, read and transfer operations
of the potentiometer
• 50Ω wiper resistance, typical at 5V
• Four nonvolatile data registers for each potentiometer
• Nonvolatile storage of multiple wiper position
• Power-on recall. Loads saved wiper position on power-up
standby current < 1µA typical
• System VCC: 2.7V operation
• 10kΩ end-to-end resistance
• 100 year data retention
• Endurance: 100,000 data changes per bit per register
• Low power CMOS
• 24 Ld TSSOP
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)

X9409
Host Interface Pins
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock data into and out of the X9409.
SERIAL DATA (SDA)
The SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out
of the device. It is an open drain output and may be wire-O Red
with any number of open drain or open collector outputs. An
open drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor. For
selecting typical values, refer to the guidelines for calculating
typical values on the bus pull-up resistors graph.
DEVICE ADDRESS (A0, A2, A3)
The address inputs are used to set the least significant 4 bits of
the 8-bit slave address. A match in the slave address serial data
stream must be made with the address input in order to initiate
communication with the X9409. A maximum of 16 devices may
occupy the 2-wire serial bus.
Potentiometer Pins
VH0/RH0 - VH3/RH3, VL0/RL0 - VL3/RL3
The VH/RH and VL/RL inputs are equivalent to the terminal
connections on either end of a mechanical potentiometer.
VW0/RW0 - VW3/RW3
The wiper outputs are equivalent to the wiper output of a
mechanical potentiometer.
HARDWARE WRITE PROTECT INPUT (WP)
The WP pin when low prevents nonvolatile writes to the Data
Registers.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The X9409 is a highly integrated microcircuit incorporating four
resistor arrays and their associated registers and counters and the
serial interface logic providing direct communication between the
host and the XDCP potentiometers.
Serial Interface
The X9409 supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The
protocol defines any device that sends data onto the bus as a
transmitter and the receiving device as the receiver. The device
controlling the transfer is a master and the device being
controlled is the slave. The master will always initiate data
transfers and provide the clock for both transmit and receive
operations. Therefore, the X9409 will be considered a slave
device in all applications.
START CONDITION
All commands to the X9409 are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH-to-LOW transition of SDA while SCL is HIGH
(tHIGH). The X9409 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines
for the start condition and will not respond to any command until
this condition is met.
STOP CONDITION
All communications must be terminated by a stop condition,
which is a LOW-to-HIGH transition of SDA while SCL is HIGH.
ACKNOWLEDGE
Acknowledge is a software convention used to provide a positive
handshake between the master and slave devices on the bus to
indicate the successful receipt of data. The transmitting device,
either the master or the slave, will release the SDA bus after
transmitting eight bits. The master generates a ninth clock cycle
and during this period the receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to
acknowledge that it successfully received the eight bits of data.
The X9409 will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of
a start condition and its slave address and once again after
successful receipt of the command byte. If the command is
followed by a data byte the X9409 will respond with a final
acknowledge.
ARRAY DESCRIPTION
The X9409 is comprised of four resistor arrays. Each array
contains 63 discrete resistive segments that are connected in
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 the Wiper Counter Register
(WCR). The 6 bits of the WCR are decoded to select and enable,
one of sixty-four switches.
The WCR may be written directly, or it can be changed by
transferring the contents of one of four associated Data
Registers into the WCR. These Data Registers and the WCR can
be read and written by the host system.
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL LOW
periods (tLOW). The SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating start and stop conditions.

NOTES:
6. Compliance to datasheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization and/or design.
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. This parameter is periodically sampled and not 100% tested.
11. Sample tested only.
12. A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal in order to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.

The preferred power-on sequence is as follows: First VCC, then
the potentiometer pins, RH, RL and RW. The VCC ramp rate
specification should be met and any glitches or slope changes in
the VCC line should be held to > R2
