DESCRIPTION
The Xicor X9319 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 switch-
ing 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.
XDCP is a trademark of Xicor, Inc.

COMMENT
Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum
Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device (at these or any other conditions above those
listed in the operational sections of this specification) is
not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating con-
ditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

POWER UP AND DOWN REQUIREMENTS
In order to prevent unwanted tap position changes, or an inadvertant store, bring the CS and INC high before or
concurrently with the V
CC
pin on powerup. The potentiometer voltages must be applied after this sequence is com-
pleted. During power-up, the data sheet parameters for the DCP do not fully apply until 1 millisecond after V
CC
reaches its final value. The V
CC
ramp spec is always in effect.
