DESCRIPTION
The X9428 integrates a 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
X9428.
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 (A

The Address inputs are used to set the least
significant 3 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 X9428. A maximum of 8
devices may occupy the 2-wire serial bus.

X9428
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The X9428 is a highly integrated microcircuit
incorporating a resistor array and its associated
registers and counters and the serial interface logic
providing direct communication between the host and
the XDCP potentiometers.
Serial Interface
The X9428 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 X9428 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 X9428 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH (t
HIGH
). The X9428 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.
0
The X9428 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 X9428 will respond with a final acknowledge.
Array Description
The X9428 is comprised of a resistor array. The array
contains 63 discrete resistive segments that are
connected in series. The physical ends of the 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 the 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 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 X9428
this is fixed as 0101[B].
Figure 1. Slave Address

Identifier

Device Address
The next four bits of the slave address are the device
address. The physical device address is defined by
the state of the A
0
, A
2
, A
3
inputs. The X9428
compares the serial data stream with the address
input state; a successful compare of all four address
bits is required for the X9428 to respond with an
acknowledge. The A
0

2

inputs can be actively
driven by CMOS input signals or tied to V
