SERIAL DATA INPUT/OUTPUT (SDA)
The SDA is a bi-directional 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 a 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. The user
must account for the capacitance on the bus line and the
desired rise and fall times when selecting a pull-up resistor.
2kΩ to 2.5kΩ are typical values when using the maximum
clock frequency.
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
This input is used by 2-wire master to supply 2-wire serial
clock to the X9118.
DEVICE ADDRESS (A1–A0)
The address inputs are used to set the least significant 2 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 X9118. A maximum
of 4 XDCP devices may occupy the 2-wire serial bus.
HARDWARE WRITE PROTECT INPUT (WP)
The WP pin when LOW prevents nonvolatile writes to the
Data Registers.
Potentiometer Pins
RH, RL
The RH and RL pins are equivalent to the terminal
connections on a mechanical potentiometer.
RW
The wiper pin is equivalent to the wiper terminal of a
mechanical potentiometer.
Bias Supply Pins
SYSTEM SUPPLY VOLTAGE (VCC) AND SUPPLY
GROUND (VSS)
The VCC pin is the system or digital supply voltage. The VSS
pin is the system ground.
ANALOG SUPPLY VOLTAGES (V+ AND V-)
These supplies are the analog voltage supplies for the
potentiometer. The V+ supply is tied to the wiper switches
while the V- supply is used to bias switches and the internal
P+ substrate of the integrated circuit. Both of these supplies
set the voltage limits of the potentiometer.
Other Pins
NO CONNECT
No connect pins should be left open. These pins are used for
Intersil manufacturing and testing purposes.
Principles of Operation
The X9118 is an integrated microcircuit incorporating a
resistor array and its registers and counters and the serial
interface logic providing direct communication between the
host and the digitally controlled potentiometer. This section
provides a detailed description of the following:
