DESCRIPTION
The X9118 integrates a single digitally controlled
potentiometer (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS
integrated circuit.
The digital controlled potentiometer is implemented
using 1023 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. Powerup 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.

(SDA)
The SDA is a bidirectional serial data input/output pin
for a 2-wire slave device and is used to transfer data
into and out of the device. It receives device address,
opcode, wiper register address and data sent from an
2-wire master at the rising edge of the serial clock
SCL, and it shifts out data after each falling edge of the
serial clock SCL.
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

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The X9118 is an integrated microcircuit incorporating a
resistor array and their its registers and counters and
the serial interface logic providing direct
communication between the host and the digitally
controlled potentiometer. This section provides detail
description of the following:
– Resistor Array Description
– Serial Interface Description
– Instruction and Register Description
Resistor Array Description
The X9118 is comprised of a resistor array. The array
contains 1023, in effect, discrete resistive segments
that are connected in series (see Figure 1). The
physical ends of each array are equivalent to the fixed
terminals of a mechanical potentiometer (R
H
and R
L
inputs).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a CMOS switch (transmission gate)
connected to the wiper (R
W
) 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 10-bits of the WCR
(WCR[9:0]) are decoded to select, and enable, one of
1024 switches.
The WCR may be written directly. The Data Registers
and the WCR can be read and written by the host
system.

NTERFACE
– 2-WIRE
The X9118 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 X9118 will be considered a
slave device in all applications.
CLOCK AND DATA CONVENTIONS
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW periods. SDA state changes during SCL
HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop
conditions. See Figure 3.
START CONDITION
All commands to the X9118 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH. The X9118 continuously monitors
the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition and will
not respond to any command until this condition is met.
See Figure 3.
STOP CONDITION
All communications must be terminated by a stop
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH. See Figure 3.
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 X9118 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 X9118 will respond with a final acknowledge.

ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
The disabling of the inputs, during the internal
nonvolatile 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 nonvolatile write command the X9118
initiates the internal write cycle. ACK polling, Flow 1,
can be initiated immediately. This involves issuing the
start condition followed by the device slave address. If
the X9118 is still busy with the write operation no ACK
will be returned. If the X9118 has completed the write
operation an ACK will be returned and the master can
then proceed with the next operation.

Instruction and Register Description
DEVICE ADDRESSING: IDENTIFICATION BYTE (ID AND A)
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. The ID[3:0] bits is the device id for the
X9118; this is fixed as 0101[B] (refer to Table 1).
The A[1:0] bits in the ID byte are the internal slave
address. The physical device address is defined by the
state of the A1-A0 input pins. The slave address is
externally specified by the user. The X9118 compares
the serial data stream with the address input state; a
successful compare of both address bits is required for
the X9118 to successfully continue the command
sequence. Only the device which slave address
matches the incoming device address sent by the
master executes the instruction. The A1-A0 inputs can
be actively driven by CMOS input signals or tied to VCC
or VSS. The R/W bit is the LSB and is used to set the
device for read or write operations.
INSTRUCTION BYTE AND REGISTER SELECTION
The next byte sent to the X9118 contains the
instruction and register pointer information. The three
most significant bits are used provide the instruction
opcode (I[2:0]). The RB and RA bits point to one of the
four registers. The format is shown below in Table 2.
Table 3 provides a complete summary of the
instruction set opcodes.

Instruction and Register Description
DEVICE ADDRESSING
WIPER COUNTER REGISTER (WCR)
The X9118 contains a Wiper Counter Register (see
Table 4) for the XDCP potentiometer. The WCR is
equivalent to a serial-in, parallel-out register/counter
with its outputs decoded to select one of 1024
switches along its resistor array. The contents of the
WCR can be altered in one of three ways: (1) it may be
written directly by the host via the write Wiper Counter
Register instruction (serial load); (2) it may be written
indirectly by transferring the contents of one of four
associated Data Registers via the XFR Data register;
(3) it is loaded with the contents of its Data Register
zero (R0) upon power-up.
The Wiper Counter Register is a volatile register; that
is, its contents are lost when the X9118 is powered-
down. Although the register is automatically loaded
with the value in DR0 upon power-up, this may be
different from the value present at power-down. Power-
up guidelines are recommended to ensure proper
loadings of the DR0 value into the WCR .
DATA REGISTERS (DR)
The potentiometer has four 10-bit non-volatile 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 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.
Bit 9–Bit 0 are used to store one of the 1024 wiper
position (0 ~1023).

Four of the six instructions are four bytes in length.
These instructions are:
–Read Wiper Counter Register – read the current
wiper position of the potentiometer,
–Write Wiper Counter Register – change current
wiper position of the potentiometer,
–Read Data Register – read the contents of the
selected Data Register;
–Write Data Register – write a new value to the
selected Data Register.
The basic sequence of the four byte instructions is
illustrated in Figure 3. These four-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 the potentiometer and one of its associated
registers.
Two instructions (see Figure 4) require a two-byte
sequence to complete. These instructions transfer data
between the host and the X9118; either between the
host and one of the Data Registers or directly between
the host and the Wiper Counter Register. These
instructions are:
–XFR Data Register to Wiper Counter Register –
This transfers the contents of one specified Data
Register to the Wiper Counter Register.
–XFR Wiper Counter Register to Data Register –
This transfers the contents of the specified Wiper
Counter Register to the specified Data Register.
See Instruction format for more details.

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 / 1023 or (RH – RL) / 1023, single pot
(4) VCC, V+, V- must reach their final values within 1 msec of each other.
