Product details
Overview
ISL23318WFRUZ-TK from Renesas Electronics is a volatile, low-voltage, I²C-compatible digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) with 128 taps, 10kΩ total resistance, and UTQFN-10 package. It operates from 1.7V to 5.5V VCC and supports 1.2V–5.5V logic-level I²C bus via dedicated VLOGIC pin, enabling direct interface with ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers. It delivers ±0.15 LSB integral nonlinearity and 70Ω typical wiper resistance at 3.3V, targeting precision trimming in battery-powered sensor and power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK datasheet, ISL23318WFRUZ-TK pinout, ISL23318WFRUZ-TK application, or ISL23318WFRUZ-TK equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply I²C interface (VLOGIC independent of VCC), shutdown mode with internal RW–RL short, mid-scale power-on default, and guaranteed monotonicity across –40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The ISL23318WFRUZ-TK implements a resistor ladder with CMOS switches and a volatile 7-bit Wiper Register (WR), directly accessible via I²C. Its "make-before-break" switching ensures glitch-free wiper transitions, and the WR defaults to 0x40 (64 decimal) at power-up, positioning the wiper at mid-scale.
It features two independent supply domains: VCC powers analog circuitry (1.7V–5.5V), while VLOGIC (1.2V–5.5V) supplies the I²C interface and level shifter-enabling interoperability with sub-1.8V controllers without external level translation. Shutdown mode (via ACR[6]) opens RH–RL and shorts RW to RL through ~2kΩ, reducing current to <2.8µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Resistance | 10kΩ - fixed end-to-end resistance for predictable voltage divider or rheostat operation |
| Tap Count | 128 taps - provides 7.8mV/LSB resolution in 3.3V full-scale voltage divider mode |
| INL / DNL | ±0.15 LSB - guarantees monotonic response and high linearity for closed-loop calibration |
| VLOGIC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - enables direct connection to low-voltage I²C masters (e.g., 1.8V or 1.2V MCUs) |
| Wiper Resistance | 70Ω typical at VCC = 3.3V - minimizes signal attenuation and loading error in precision gain-setting paths |
| Shutdown Current | <2.8µA max - supports ultra-low-power sleep states in portable instrumentation |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
ISL23318WFRUZ-TK is packaged in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 10-lead UTQFN (2.1mm × 1.6mm, 0.5mm pitch). The package supports high-density PCB layouts and offers θJA = 145°C/W for thermal efficiency in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RL | DCP low terminal | Fixed end of resistor ladder; referenced to GND in voltage divider mode; used with RW in rheostat configuration |
| RW | DCP wiper terminal | Movable tap output; position set by volatile Wiper Register; exhibits 70Ω typical on-resistance |
| RH | DCP high terminal | Fixed end of resistor ladder; connected to VCC in standard divider; open in rheostat mode |
| VCC | Analog power supply | Supplies core DCP and register logic; 1.7V–5.5V range supports single-supply systems |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for analog and digital domains; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive trimming |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Open-drain input requiring external pull-up; supports up to 400kHz standard-mode I²C |
| SDA | I²C data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line; transmits ACK/NACK and reads/writes WR/ACR registers |
| A0, A1 | I²C slave address pins | Hardwired inputs setting LSBs of 7-bit address; enable up to four devices on same I²C bus |
| VLOGIC | I²C logic supply | Independent 1.2V–5.5V rail for bus interface; decouples logic compatibility from analog supply |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Volatile Wiper Register (WR) | 7-bit register (0x00–0x7F) directly readable/writable over I²C; resets to 0x40 at power-on for known startup state |
| Dual-Supply I²C Interface | VLOGIC pin allows 1.2V logic compatibility without level shifters-critical for interfacing with modern ultra-low-voltage MCUs |
| Shutdown Mode | ACR[6] bit forces RH–RL open-circuit and internally shorts RW to RL (~2kΩ), reducing system leakage and enabling safe power gating |
| Monotonic Performance | Guaranteed monotonicity with ±0.15 LSB DNL ensures no code skips or reversals during wiper sweeps-essential for closed-loop stability |
| Low Wiper Resistance | 70Ω typical at 3.3V minimizes insertion loss and gain error in op-amp feedback networks and sensor biasing paths |
Applications
| Gain Adjustment in Portable Instruments | Trimming Sensor Signal Chains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5170BRMZ-10 | Nonvolatile EEPROM memory; 256 taps; SPI interface only; 10kΩ; MSOP-10 | Requires no host initialization at power-up; unsuitable for dynamic real-time adjustment due to write latency | Choose AD5170BRMZ-10 when persistent settings are mandatory and SPI is available; avoid if I²C or ultra-low-power shutdown is required. |
| MCP45HV51-103E/MS | High-voltage (18V) tolerant; 256 taps; I²C; 10kΩ; MSOP-8; no VLOGIC pin | Lacks independent logic supply-requires VDD ≥ 2.7V for I²C, limiting use with sub-1.8V controllers | Choose MCP45HV51-103E/MS for high-voltage biasing where VDD ≥ 2.7V is guaranteed; avoid when 1.2V I²C compatibility is needed. |
Compared with AD5170BRMZ-10 and MCP45HV51-103E/MS, the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK uniquely combines 1.2V I²C compatibility, 10kΩ monotonic DCP performance, and sub-3µA shutdown-making it optimal for battery-powered, thermally demanding, and low-voltage embedded trimming.

FAQ
What is the default wiper position of the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK at power-up?
The ISL23318WFRUZ-TK powers up with its volatile Wiper Register (WR) preset to 0x40 (64 decimal), placing the wiper at mid-scale-i.e., approximately 5kΩ between RL and RW, and 5kΩ between RW and RH in a 10kΩ device. This ensures a known, safe startup state for voltage divider or rheostat configurations without host initialization.
Does the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK support true 1.2V I²C communication?
Yes-the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK features a dedicated VLOGIC pin that accepts 1.2V to 5.5V, enabling direct connection to 1.2V I²C masters without level shifters. Its input thresholds scale with VLOGIC (VIH = 0.7×VLOGIC, VIL = 0.3×VLOGIC), and it draws only 5µA ILOGIC at 1.2V/1.7V, confirming true low-voltage bus compatibility.
How does shutdown mode affect the terminals of the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK?
In shutdown mode (activated by setting ACR[6]), the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK opens the RH–RL path and internally connects RW to RL through a ~2kΩ resistor. This isolates the high-side terminal while providing a defined low-impedance path at the wiper-preventing floating nodes and reducing total current to <2.8µA, ideal for system-level power gating.
Can the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK be used in rheostat mode, and what are its linearity specs?
Yes-the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK supports rheostat mode (RW–RL or RW–RH). In 10kΩ configuration, it guarantees ±0.15 MI differential nonlinearity and ±1.0 MI integral nonlinearity over temperature, with monotonicity ensured. Its 70Ω typical wiper resistance minimizes insertion error in current-setting or bias-adjustment applications.
What package type and footprint does the ISL23318WFRUZ-TK use?
The ISL23318WFRUZ-TK uses a 10-lead UTQFN package (2.1mm × 1.6mm, 0.5mm pitch, exposed pad), designated as "WFRUZ" in Renesas ordering nomenclature. This compact, thermally enhanced RoHS-compliant package supports high-density layouts and achieves θJA = 145°C/W-critical for fanless industrial and automotive modules.
