Description<br />
The X9250 integrates 4 digitally controlled potentiometers<br />
(XDCP) on a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit.<br />
The digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented using<br />
255 resistive elements in a series array. Between each element<br />
are tap points connected to the wiper terminal through switches.<br />
The position <strong>of</strong> the wiper on the array is controlled by the<br />
user through the SPI bus interface. Each potentiometer has<br />
associated with it a volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR) <strong>and</strong><br />
4 non-volatile Data Registers (DR0:DR3) that can be directly<br />
written to <strong>and</strong> read by the user. The contents <strong>of</strong> the WCR controls<br />
the position <strong>of</strong> the wiper on the resistor array though the<br />
switches. Power-up recalls the contents <strong>of</strong> DR0 to the WCR.<br />
The XDCP can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or as a<br />
two-terminal variable resistor in a wide variety <strong>of</strong> applications<br />
including control, parameter adjustments, <strong>and</strong> signal processing.<br />
