DESCRIPTION
The X9522 combines three Digitally Controlled
Potentiometers (DCPs), and two programmable
voltage monitor inputs with software and hardware
indicators. All functions of the X9522 are accessed
by an industry standard 2-Wire serial interface.
Two of the DCPs of the X9522 may be utilized to
control the bias and modulation currents of the
laser diode in a Fiber Optic module. The third DCP
may be used to set other various reference quanti-
ties, or as a coarse trim for one of the other two
DCPs.The programmable voltage monitors may be
used for monitoring various module alarm levels.
The features of the X9522 are ideally suited to sim-
plifying the design of fiber optic modules. The
integration of these functions into one package
significantly reduces board area, cost and
increases reliability of laser diode modules.

DETAILED DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The X9522 combines three Intersil Digitally Con-
trolled Potentiometer (DCP) devices, and two volt-
age monitors, in one package. These functions are
suited to the control, support, and monitoring of var-
ious system parameters in fiber optic modules. The
combination of the X9522 functionality lowers sys-
tem cost, increases reliability, and reduces board
space requirements.
Two high resolution DCPs allow for the “set-and-for-
get” adjustment of Laser Driver IC parameters such
as Laser Diode Bias and Modulation Currents. One
lower resolution DCP may be used for setting sun-
dry system parameters such as maximum laser out-
put power (for eye safety requirements).
The dual Voltage Monitor circuits continuously com-
pare their inputs to individual trip voltages. If an
input voltage exceeds it’s associated trip level, a
hardware output (V3RO, V2RO) are allowed to go
HIGH. If the input voltage becomes lower than it’s
associated trip level, the corresponding output is
driven LOW. A corresponding binary representation
of the two monitor circuit outputs (V2RO and V3RO)
are also stored in latched, volatile (CONSTAT) regis-
ter bits. The status of these two monitor outputs can
be read out via the 2-wire serial port.
Intersil’s unique circuits allow for all internal trip
voltages to be individually programmed with high
accuracy. This gives the designer great flexibility in
changing system parameters, either at the time of
manufacture, or in the field.
The device features a 2-Wire interface and software
protocol allowing operation on an I
2
C™ compatible
serial bus.

Function
Connection to end of resistor array for (the 256 Tap) DCP 2.
Connection to terminal equivalent to the “Wiper” of a mechanical potentiometer for DCP 2.
Connection to other end of resistor array for (the 256 Tap) DCP 2.
V3 Voltage Monitor Input. V3 is the input to a non-inverting voltage comparator circuit. When the V3
input is higher than the
V
TRIP3
threshold voltage, V3RO makes a transition to a HIGH level. Connect
V3 to V
SS
when not used.
V3 RESET Output. This open drain output makes a transition to a HIGH level when V3 is greater than
V
TRIP3
and goes LOW when V3 is less than V
TRIP3
. There is no delay circuitry on this pin. The V3RO
pin requires the use of an external “pull-up” resistor.
Write Protect Control Pin. WP pin is a TTL level compatible input. When held HIGH, Write Protection is
enabled. In the enabled state, this pin prevents all nonvolatile “write” operations. Also, when the Write
Protection is enabled, and the DCP Write Lock feature is active (i.e. the DCP Write Lock bit is set to
“1”), then no “write” (volatile or nonvolatile) operations can be performed in the device (including the
wiper position of any of the integrated Digitally Controlled Potentiometers (DCPs). The WP pin uses an
internal “pull-down” resistor, thus if left floating the write protection feature is disabled.
Serial Clock. This is a TTL level compatible input pin used to control the serial bus timing for data input
and output.
Serial Data. SDA is a bidirectional TTL level compatible pin used to transfer data into and out of the
device. The SDA pin input buffer is always active (not gated). This pin requires an external pull up re-
sistor.
Ground.
Connection to other end of resistor for (the 100 Tap) DCP 1.
Connection to terminal equivalent to the “Wiper” of a mechanical potentiometer for DCP 1.
Connection to end of resistor array for (the 100 Tap) DCP 1.
Connection to end of resistor array for (the 64 Tap) Digitally Controlled Potentiometer (DCP) 0.
Connection to terminal equivalent to the “Wiper” of a mechanical potentiometer for DCP 0.
Connection to the other end of resistor array for (the 64 Tap) DCP 0.
V2 Voltage Monitor Input. V2 is the input to a non-inverting voltage comparator circuit. When the V2
input is greater than the
V
TRIP2
threshold voltage, V2RO makes a transition to a HIGH level. Connect
V2 to V
SS
when not used.
V2 RESET Output. This open drain output makes a transition to a HIGH level when V2 is greater than
V
TRIP2
, and goes LOW when V2 is less than
V
TRIP2
. There is no power-up reset delay circuitry on this
pin. The V2RO pin requires the use of an external “pull-up” resistor.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
SERIAL INTERFACE
Data Change
Data Stable
Valid Data Changes on the SDA Bus
Serial Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH. The STOP condition is also used
to place the device into the Standby power mode after
a read sequence. A STOP condition can only be
issued after the transmitting device has released the
bus. See Figure 2.
Serial Interface Conventions
The device 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 called the master and the device being
controlled is called the slave. The master always ini-
tiates data transfers, and provides the clock for both
transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the
X9522 operates as a slave in all applications.
Serial Acknowledge
An ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK) is a software convention
used to indicate a successful data transfer. The trans-
mitting device, either master or slave, will release the
bus after transmitting eight bits. During the ninth
clock cycle, the receiver will pull the SDA line LOW to
ACKNOWLEDGE that it received the eight bits of
data. Refer to Figure 3.
The device will respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE
after recognition of a START condition if the correct
Device Identifier bits are contained in the Slave
Address Byte. If a write operation is selected, the
device will respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE after
the receipt of each subsequent eight bit word.
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits
of data, release the SDA line, then monitor the line
for an ACKNOWLEDGE. If an ACKNOWLEDGE is
detected and no STOP condition is generated by the
master, the device will continue to transmit data. The
device will terminate further data transmissions if an
ACKNOWLEDGE is not detected. The master must
then issue a STOP condition to place the device into
a known state.
Serial Clock and Data
Data states on the SDA line can change only while
SCL is LOW. SDA state changes while SCL is HIGH
are reserved for indicating START and STOP condi-
tions. See Figure 1. On power-up of the X9522, the
SDA pin is in the input mode.
Serial Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the START condi-
tion, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH. The device continuously monitors the
SDA and SCL lines for the START condition and
does not respond to any command until this condi-
tion has been met. See Figure 2.
