FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAMS
DESCRIPTION
The X9Cxxx are Xicor digitally-controlled (XDCP)
potentiometers. The device consists of a resistor array,
wiper switches, a control section, and nonvolatile
memory. The wiper position is controlled by a three-wire
interface.
The potentiometer is implemented by a resistor array
composed of 99 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 position of the wiper can be stored in
nonvolatile memory and then be recalled upon a
subsequent power-up operation.
The device can be used as a three-terminal
potentiometer or as a two-terminal variable resistor in a
wide variety of applications including:
鈥?control
鈥?parameter adjustments
鈥?signal processing
