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 though 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.

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. Serial Clock (SCK) The SCK input is used to clock data into and out of the X9250. The wiper pins are equivalent to the wiper terminal of a mechanical potentiometer. Hardware Write Protect Input (WP) The WP pin when LOW prevents nonvolatile writes to the Data Registers. Analog Supplies (V+, V-) The analog supplies V+, V- are the supply voltages for the XDCP analog section. PIN CONFIGURATION Chip Select (CS) When CS is HIGH, the X9250 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 X9250, 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) 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.

The WCR is equivalent to a serial-in, parallel-out register/counter with its outputs decoded to select one of 256 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 (DR0) upon power-up. The Wiper Counter Register is a volatile register; that is, its contents are lost when the X9250 is powereddown. 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. DEVICE DESCRIPTION Serial Interface The X9250 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 X9250 is comprised of four resistor arrays. Each array contains 255 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. Data Registers Each potentiometer has four 8-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 regular memory locations for system parameters or user preference data. Data Register Detail (MSB) (LSB) D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 NV NV NV NV NV NV NV NV These switches are controlled by a Wiper Counter Register (WCR). The 8 bits of the WCR are decoded to select, and enable, one of 256 switches. REV 1.1.5 1/31/03 www.xicor.com Characteristics subject to change without notice. 3 of 21 X9250 Figure 1.

The 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. Figure 2. Identification Byte Format INSTRUCTIONS Instruction Byte The next byte sent to the X9250 contains the instruction and register pointer information. The four most significant bits are the instruction. The next four bits point to one of the four pots and, when applicable, they point to one of four associated registers. The format is shown below in Figure 3. Identification (ID) Byte The first byte sent to the X9250 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 X9250 this is fixed as 0101[B] (refer to Figure 2). 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 X9250 compares the serial data stream with the address input state; a successful compare of both address bits is required for the X9250 to successfully continue the command sequence. The A0-A1 inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input signals or tied to VCC or VSS. Device Type Identifier 0 1 0 1 0 0 A1 A0 Device Address Figure 3.

REV 1.1.5 1/31/03 www.xicor.com Characteristics subject to change without notice. 4 of 21 X9250 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. 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. - 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 4. 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. REV 1.1.5 1/31/03 Five instructions require a three-byte sequence to complete. These instructions transfer data between the host and the X9250; 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 5 and Figure 6. 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. 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 7 and Figure 8. www.xicor.com Characteristics subject to change without notice. 5 of 21 X9250 Figure 4.
