Low Noise/Low Power/2-Wire Bus Single Digitally Controlled Potentiometer
(XDCP™)
The X9429 integrates a single digitally controlled
potentiometer (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS integrated
circuit.
The digital 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. The
potentiometer has associated with it a volatile Wiper Counter
Register (WCR) and a four non-volatile Data Registers 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 though the switches. Power-up recalls the contents of
the default data register (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.

SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
The RH/VH and RL/VL inputs are equivalent to the terminal
connections on either end of a mechanical potentiometer.
The SCL input is used to clock data into and out of the X9429.
SERIAL DATA (SDA)
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-ORed
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 3 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 X9429. A maximum of 8
devices may occupy the 2-wire serial bus.

RW/VW
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.
Principals of Operation
The X9429 is a highly integrated microcircuit incorporating a
resistor array and its associated registers and counters and the
serial interface logic providing direct communication between
the host and the XDCP potentiometers.
Serial Interface
The X9429 supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The
protocol defines any device that sends data onto the bus as a
Page 4 of 21
X9429
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 X9429 will be considered a slave
device in all applications.
Device Addressing
Following a start condition, the master must output the address
of the slave it is accessing. The most significant four bits of the
slave address are the device type identifier (refer to Figure 1).
For the X9429 this is fixed as 0101[B].
DEVICE TYPE
IDENTIFIER
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL LOW
periods (tLOW). SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating start and stop conditions.

A3
A2

A0
Start Condition
All commands to the X9429 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while SCL
is HIGH (tHIGH). The X9429 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 X9429 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 X9429 will respond with a final
acknowledge.
Array Description
The X9429 is comprised of a resistor array. The array contains
63 discrete resistive segments that are connected in series.
The physical ends of the array are equivalent to the fixed
terminals of a mechanical potentiometer (VH/RH and VL/RL
inputs).
At both ends of the 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 six 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.
FN8248 Rev 4.00
October 16, 2015
DEVICE ADDRESS
FIGURE 1. SLAVE ADDRESS
The next four bits of the slave address are the device address.
The physical device address is defined by the state of the A0,
A2, and A3 inputs. The X9429 compares the serial data stream
with the address input state; a successful compare of all three
address bits is required for the X9429 to respond with an
acknowledge. The A0, A2, and A3 inputs can be actively driven
by CMOS input signals or tied to VCC or VSS.
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs, during the internal non-volatile
write operation, can be used to take advantage of the typical
5ms EEPROM write cycle time. Once the stop condition is
issued to indicate the end of the non-volatile write command,
the X9429 initiates the internal write cycle. ACK polling can be
initiated immediately. This involves issuing the start condition
followed by the device slave address. If the X9429 is still busy
with the write operation, no ACK will be returned. If the X9429
has completed the write operation, an ACK will be returned,
and the master can then proceed with the next operation.
Instruction Structure
The next byte sent to the X9429 contains the instruction and
register pointer information. The four most significant bits are
the instruction. The next four bits point to one of four
associated registers. The format is shown in Figure 2.

Four of the seven instructions end with the transmission of the
instruction byte. The basic sequence is illustrated in Figure 3.
These two-byte instructions exchange data between the Wiper
Counter Register and one of the Data Registers. A transfer
from a Data Register to a Wiper Counter Register is essentially
a write to a static RAM. The response of the wiper to this action
will be delayed tWRL. A transfer from the Wiper Counter
Register (current wiper position), to a Data Register is a write
to non-volatile memory and takes a minimum of tWR to
complete.

providing a fine tuning capability to the host. For each SCL
clock pulse (tHIGH) while SDA is HIGH, the selected wiper will
move one resistor segment towards the VH/RH terminal.
Similarly, for each SCL clock pulse while SDA 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 Figures 5 and 6
respectively.

Detailed Operation
The potentiometer has a Wiper Counter Register and four Data
Registers. A detailed discussion of the register organization
and array operation follows.
Wiper Counter Register
The X9429 contains a Wiper Counter Register. The Wiper
Counter Register can be envisioned as a 6-bit parallel and
serial load 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 instruction (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 (DR0) upon
power-up.
The WCR is a volatile register; that is, its contents are lost
when the X9429 is powered-down. Although the register is
automatically loaded with the value in DR0 upon power-up, it
should be noted this may be different from the value present at
power-down.
Data Registers
Wiper Counter Register. It should be noted all operations
changing data in one of these 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, these registers can be used as regular
memory locations that could possibly store system parameters
or user preference data.

NOTES:
1. Absolute linearity is utilized to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a
potentiometer.
2. 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.
3. MI = RTOT/63 or (RH - RL)/63, single pot
4. Typical = individual array resolutions.
5. Limits established by characterization and are not production tested.
6. Sample tested only.
7. Parts are 100% tested at +25°C. Over temperature limits established by characterization and are not production tested.
Power-up and Power-down Requirements
There are no restrictions on the power-up or power-down
conditions of VCC and the voltage 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 ramp rate
spec is always in effect.
