DESCRIPTION
The X9418 integrates two digitally controlled
potentiometers (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS
integrated microcircuit.
The digitally 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. 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 through 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.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Host Interface Pins
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock data into and out of the
X9418.
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 - A3)
The Address inputs are used to set the least
significant 4 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 X9418. A maximum of 16
devices may occupy the 2-wire serial bus.
Potentiometer Pins
VH/RH (VH0/RH0 - VH1/RH1), VL/RL (VL0/RL0 - VL1/RL1)
The VH/RH and VL/RL inputs are equivalent to the
terminal connections on either end of a mechanical
potentiometer.
VW/RW (VW0/RW0 - VW1/RW1)
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.

PIN CONFIGURATION
PIN NAMES
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The X9418 is a highly integrated microcircuit
incorporating two resistor arrays and their associated
registers and counters and the serial interface logic
providing direct communication between the host and
the XDCP potentiometers.
Serial Interface
The X9418 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 X9418 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 (tLOW). SDA state changes during
SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop
conditions.
Start Condition
All commands to the X9418 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH (tHIGH). The X9418 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 X9418 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 X9418 will respond with a final acknowledge.
Array Description
The X9418 is comprised of two resistor arrays. Each
array contains 63 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. 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.
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 below). For the X9418
this is fixed as 0101[B].
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 - A3 inputs. The X9418 compares
the serial data stream with the address input state; a
successful compare of all four address bits is required
for the X9418 to respond with an acknowledge. The
A0 - 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
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 X9418
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
X9418 is still busy with the write operation no ACK will
be returned. If the X9418 has completed the write
operation an ACK will be returned, and the master can
then proceed with the next operation.
Flow 1. ACK Polling Sequence
Instruction Structure
The next byte sent to the X9418 contains the instruction
and register pointer information. The four most
significant bits are the instruction. The next four bits
point to one of the two pots and when applicable they
point to one of four associated registers. The format is
shown Figure 2.

Figure 2. Instruction Byte Format
The four high order bits define the instruction. 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 bits (P0) select
which one of the two potentiometers is to be affected
by the instruction. Bit 1 is defined to be 0.
Four of the nine 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 nonvolatile memory and takes a
minimum of tWR to complete. The transfer can occur
between one of the two potentiometers and one of its
associated registers; or it may occur globally, wherein
the transfer occurs between both of the
potentiometers and one of their associated registers.
Four instructions require a three-byte sequence to
complete. These instructions transfer data between
the host and the X9418; 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 nonvolatile register) and write Data Register
(write a new value to the selected Data Register). The
sequence of operations is shown in Figure 4.
The Increment/Decrement command is different from
the other commands. Once the command is issued
and the X9418 has responded with an acknowledge,
the master can clock the selected wiper up and/or
down in one segment steps; thereby, 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
Both XDCP potentiometers share the serial interface
and share a common architecture. Each 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 X9418 contains two wiper counter registers, one
for each XDCP potentiometer. 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 X9418 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
Each potentiometer has four nonvolatile Data
Registers. These can be read or written directly by the
host and data can be transferred between any of the
four Data Registers and the 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.
Register Descriptions

D.C. OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS (Over the recommended operating conditions unless otherwise specified.)
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
ENDURANCE AND DATA RETENTION
CAPACITANCE
POWER-UP TIMING
Power Up Requirements (Power up sequencing can affect correct recall of the wiper registers)
The preferred power-on sequence is as follows: First VCC, then V+ and V-, and then the potentiometer pins, RH, RL,
and RW. Voltage should not be applied to the potentiometer pins before V+ or V- is applied. The VCC ramp rate
specification should be met, and any glitches or slope changes in the VCC line should be held to <100mV if possible.
If VCC powers down, it should be held below 0.1V for more than 1 second before powering up again in order for
proper wiper register recall. Also, VCC should not reverse polarity by more than 0.5V. Recall of wiper position will not
be complete until VCC, V+ and V- reach their final value.
Notes: (4) This parameter is periodically sampled and not 100% tested
(5) tPUR and tPUW are the delays required from the time the third (last) power supply (VCC, V+ or V-) is stable until the specific
instruction can be issued. These parameters are periodically sampled and not 100% tested.
(6) This is a tested or guaranteed parameter and should only be used as a guidance.
