DESCRIPTION
The Intersil X9318 is a digitally controlled potentiometer
(XDCP). The device consists of a resistor array, wiper
switches, a control section, and nonvolatile memory.
The wiper position is controlled by a 3-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 for voltage control or as a two-terminal variable resistor for current control in a wide variety of applications.
