DESCRIPTION
The X9250 integrates 4 digitally controlled
potentiometers (XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS
integrated circuit.
The digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented
using 255 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
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.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Serial Output (SO)
SO is a serial data output pin. 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.
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.
Device Address (A
0
-
A
1
)
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 X9250. A maximum of 4 devices may occupy the
SPI serial bus.

X9250
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 (V
H
/R
H
and V
L
/R
L
inputs).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper
(V
W
/R
W
) output. Within each individual array only one
switch may be turned on at a time.
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.
Wiper Counter Register (WCR)
The X9250 contains four Wiper Counter Registers,
one for each XDCP potentiometer. 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 powered-
down. 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.
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.

Write in Process
The contents of the Data Registers are saved to
nonvolatile memory when the CS pin goes from LOW
to HIGH after a complete write sequence is received
by the device. 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.
INSTRUCTIONS
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 A
0
- A
1
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 A
0
- A
1
inputs
can be actively driven by CMOS input signals or tied to
V
CC
or V
SS
.
The remaining two bits in the slave byte must be set to 0.

The next byte sent to the X9250 contains the
