Product details
Overview
ISL23325TFRUZ-TK from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a dual, volatile, 256-tap digitally controlled potentiometer with I²C interface, 100kΩ end-to-end resistance, 16-pin µTQFN package, and extended industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It operates from 1.7V to 5.5V analog supply (VCC) and 1.2V to 5.5V logic supply (VLOGIC), enabling direct low-voltage bus interfacing without level shifters - ideal for precision trimming in battery-powered instrumentation and power supply margining.
For engineers reviewing the ISL23325TFRUZ-TK datasheet, ISL23325TFRUZ-TK pinout, ISL23325TFRUZ-TK application, or ISL23325TFRUZ-TK equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel architecture, wiper register volatility, shutdown mode behavior, 70Ω typical wiper resistance at 3.3V, and guaranteed monotonicity in both voltage divider and rheostat modes.
Technical Context
The ISL23325TFRUZ-TK integrates two independent DCP cores on a monolithic CMOS die, each with an 8-bit volatile Wiper Register (WR0/WR1) directly accessible via I²C. Wiper positioning uses make-before-break switching, ensuring glitch-free transitions during tap changes. Power-on defaults WR0 and WR1 to 0x80 (mid-scale, 128), guaranteeing known initial output impedance.
Its dual-supply architecture separates analog (VCC) and digital (VLOGIC) domains: VLOGIC enables 1.2V I²C compatibility while VCC supports up to 5.5V DCP terminal voltage. Shutdown mode disconnects RH/RL paths and internally connects RW to RL via a 2kΩ resistor, reducing leakage and isolating the wiper from external circuitry.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Common return path for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling |
| VLOGIC (Pin 2) | Digital supply input | Powers I²C interface and internal level shifter; sets logic threshold for SDA/SCL/A0–A2 |
| RH1 (Pin 3) | DCP1 high terminal | Fixed end of Potentiometer 1; connects to higher potential in voltage divider or bias network |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Second ground pin for improved thermal and electrical performance in compact layouts |
| NC (Pin 5) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout best practices |
| RL1 (Pin 6) | DCP1 low terminal | Fixed end of Potentiometer 1; connects to lower potential or system ground |
| RW1 (Pin 7) | DCP1 wiper output | Movable terminal of Potentiometer 1; delivers adjustable voltage/resistance based on WR1 value |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Analog supply input | Powers resistor array and CMOS switches; sets maximum allowable voltage across RH/RL/RW |
| A1 (Pin 9) | I²C address bit | Hardwired slave address bit (A1); combines with A0/A2 to select one of eight devices on shared bus |
| RW0 (Pin 10) | DCP0 wiper output | Movable terminal of Potentiometer 0; independently controllable via WR0 register |
| SCL (Pin 11) | I²C clock input | Open-drain input requiring external pull-up; synchronizes data transfer at up to 400kHz |
| RH0 (Pin 12) | DCP0 high terminal | Fixed end of Potentiometer 0; used for dual-gain or dual-bias configurations |
| RL0 (Pin 13) | DCP0 low terminal | Fixed end of Potentiometer 0; completes first potentiometer leg |
| SDA (Pin 14) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain input/output requiring external pull-up; carries address, command, and register data |

| A2 (Pin 16) | I²C address bit | Hardwired slave address bit (A2); enables up to eight ISL23325 devices on same I²C bus |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 256-tap DCPs | Enables simultaneous independent adjustment of two analog parameters (e.g., gain + offset) in single IC |

| Independent VCC/VLOGIC supplies | Eliminates need for level shifters when interfacing 1.2V/1.8V MCUs with 3.3V/5V analog rails |
| Shutdown mode | Forces open-circuit RH–RL path and connects RW to RL via 2kΩ - prevents unintended loading during sleep |
| Monotonicity guarantee | Ensures DNL ≤ ±0.4 LSB across full temperature range - critical for closed-loop feedback stability |
| Low wiper resistance | 70Ω typical at 3.3V minimizes voltage drop and nonlinearity in high-precision voltage divider topologies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5242BRUZ100 | Non-volatile EEPROM storage; 100kΩ; 24-lead TSSOP; no VLOGIC pin - requires external level shifting for sub-1.8V buses | Preferred where power-loss retention is required; unsuitable for 1.2V I²C systems without translation | Select AD5242BRUZ100 only if non-volatility and EEPROM endurance (>100k cycles) outweigh need for 1.2V bus compatibility |
| MCP45HV51-103E/MS | High-voltage rating (up to 36V); 10kΩ; 8-bit resolution; 8-lead MSOP; no shutdown mode; VDD-only supply | Targeted at industrial PLC analog I/O modules needing >12V rail support; lacks low-voltage flexibility | Choose MCP45HV51-103E/MS only when DCP terminals must withstand >12V; not suitable for battery-powered 1.2V–3.3V designs |
Compared with AD5242BRUZ100 and MCP45HV51-103E/MS, the ISL23325TFRUZ-TK uniquely supports 1.2V I²C operation without level shifters, offers dual-channel integration in a 2.6×1.8mm footprint, and provides hardware shutdown isolation - making it optimal for space-constrained, ultra-low-power, multi-rail embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the default wiper position of ISL23325TFRUZ-TK after power-on?
Upon power-up, both wiper registers (WR0 and WR1) of the ISL23325TFRUZ-TK reset to 0x80 (decimal 128), placing each wiper at the exact mid-scale position between RH and RL terminals. This behavior is guaranteed by internal power-on reset circuitry and ensures repeatable startup conditions without host MCU intervention.
Does ISL23325TFRUZ-TK support true 1.2V I²C communication?
Yes - the ISL23325TFRUZ-TK's dedicated VLOGIC pin accepts 1.2V to 5.5V, enabling direct connection to 1.2V I²C masters without external level shifters. Its input thresholds scale with VLOGIC (VIH = 0.7×VLOGIC), and SDA/SCL operate reliably at 400kHz even at 1.2V, as verified in the FN7870 datasheet.
Can ISL23325TFRUZ-TK be used in rheostat mode?
Yes - the ISL23325TFRUZ-TK supports rheostat configuration by connecting either RH or RL to the same node and using RW and the remaining terminal. In this mode, it delivers monotonic resistance adjustment from near-zero to 100kΩ with RINL ≤ ±1.0 MI and RDNL ≤ ±0.5 MI across the full temperature range.
What happens to the wiper state during ISL23325TFRUZ-TK shutdown mode?
In shutdown mode (SHDN bit = 0 in ACR), the ISL23325TFRUZ-TK disconnects the RH–RL resistor string and internally connects RW to RL through a 2kΩ series resistor. Critically, the WR0 and WR1 register values are retained, so wipers return to their pre-shutdown positions upon exit - preserving calibration state.
Is ISL23325TFRUZ-TK compatible with standard I²C bus addressing?
Yes - the ISL23325TFRUZ-TK implements a standard 7-bit I²C slave address with three hardware-configurable bits (A2, A1, A0), allowing up to eight devices on a single bus. Its address format follows I²C specification, and it responds to general call and write/read operations per the FN7870 protocol timing diagrams.
