Product details
Overview
ISL23415TFRUZ-TK from Renesas Electronics is a volatile, low-voltage, 256-tap digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) with SPI interface, 100kΩ end-to-end resistance, 70Ω typical wiper resistance at 3.3V, and operation from 1.7V to 5.5V VCC and 1.2V to 5.5V VLOGIC - used for precision bias compensation in RF power amplifiers and LCD voltage adjustment.
For engineers reviewing the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK datasheet, ISL23415TFRUZ-TK pinout, ISL23415TFRUZ-TK application, or ISL23415TFRUZ-TK equivalent, this part supports daisy-chained SPI configuration, mid-scale power-on default (128), shutdown mode with RW–RL shorting, and 10 Ld µTQFN packaging for space-constrained portable medical and battery-powered instrumentation.
Technical Context
The ISL23415TFRUZ-TK implements a monolithic CMOS resistor ladder with CMOS wiper switches operating in "make-before-break" mode, controlled via an 8-bit volatile Wiper Register (WR) accessible through SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0). Its dual-supply architecture isolates analog (VCC) and digital (VLOGIC) domains, enabling direct interfacing with 1.2V logic without level shifters.
It supports voltage divider and rheostat configurations, delivers ±0.15 LSB INL (100kΩ option), achieves 120kHz –3dB bandwidth at mid-tap, and enters shutdown with <2.8µA total current while preserving WR contents - critical for fast-recovery calibration systems requiring deterministic startup behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Resistance | 100kΩ - defines full-scale voltage division range and sets current-handling capability in rheostat mode. |
| Wiper Resistance | 70Ω typical @ VCC = 3.3V - limits insertion loss and thermal noise in signal-path applications. |
| Supply Ranges | VCC = 1.7V–5.5V; VLOGIC = 1.2V–5.5V - enables independent analog/digital rail scaling for mixed-voltage SoC interfaces. |
| INL (Voltage Divider) | ±0.15 LSB (100kΩ) - ensures monotonicity and sub-0.1% gain error across 256 taps for closed-loop bias control. |
| Shutdown Current | <2.8µA max - extends battery life in always-on portable equipment during idle periods. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
| Package | 10 Ld µTQFN (2.1mm × 1.6mm) - supports high-density PCB layouts in handheld diagnostics and RF modules. |
Pinout & Package
ISL23415TFRUZ-TK uses a 10-lead µTQFN package (2.1mm × 1.6mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are electrically identical to the MSOP variant but physically rearranged per the µTQFN top-view layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RL) | DCP Low Terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; referenced to GND in voltage divider mode; forms one end of variable resistance in rheostat mode. |
| 2 (CS) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; initiates SPI transaction and powers up interface logic; must be pulsed HIGH→LOW before each command. |
| 3 (VCC) | Analog Power Supply | Supplies DCP core and wiper switches; sets maximum allowable voltage on RH/RL/RW pins (0V to VCC). |
| 4 (RH) | DCP High Terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connected to VCC or reference voltage in divider mode; second terminal in rheostat mode. |
| 5 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into wiper path. |
| 6 (SCK) | SPI Clock Input | Drives internal state machine; rising edge clocks SDI data in; falling edge clocks SDO data out (Mode 0). |
| 7 (SDI) | SPI Data Input | Receives instruction byte (MSB-first) and data bytes; accepts NOP, ACR read/write, WR read/write commands. |
| 8 (SDO) | SPI Data Output | Push-pull or open-drain configurable output; returns register contents on read cycles; tri-stated when CS is HIGH. |
| 9 (RW) | Wiper Terminal | Movable contact point; voltage or resistance varies linearly with WR register value; subject to 70Ω series resistance. |
| 10 (VLOGIC) | Digital Supply | Powers SPI interface and level shifter; decouples bus logic voltage from analog domain - allows 1.2V microcontroller direct drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Independent Supplies | VCC (1.7–5.5V) and VLOGIC (1.2–5.5V) eliminate need for external level shifters between low-voltage MCUs and analog rails. |
| Volatile Wiper Register | 8-bit WR defaults to 0x80 (mid-scale) at power-up - ensures known, safe startup condition for bias-sensitive circuits. |
| Shutdown Mode | SHDN bit forces RH–RL open-circuit and RW–RL shorted via 2kΩ resistor - removes signal path leakage and prevents floating nodes. |
| Daisy Chain Support | SDO-to-SDI cascading enables multi-DCP control over single SPI bus - reduces GPIO count and simplifies layout in multi-channel systems. |
| Low Noise Performance | 61nV/√Hz resistor noise density (100kΩ) and –75dB PSRR - preserves SNR in precision sensor front-ends and audio gain stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5175BRMZ-100 | Nonvolatile EEPROM memory; 256-tap; 100kΩ; SPI interface; 3mm × 3mm MSOP-10 package; higher 125Ω wiper resistance. | Retains wiper position after power loss - suitable for systems requiring last-known-state recovery without MCU intervention. | Select AD5175BRMZ-100 when nonvolatility is mandatory and board area permits larger MSOP package; avoid if low wiper resistance or µTQFN footprint is required. |
| MCP45HV51-103E/MS | Volatile DCP; 256-tap; 10kΩ (not 100kΩ); 5.5V max VDD; no separate VLOGIC pin; 10 Ld MSOP only; 100Ω wiper resistance. | Lacks dual-supply flexibility - requires shared 1.8–5.5V rail for logic/analog; limited to lower-resistance applications like current sensing. | Choose MCP45HV51-103E/MS only for 10kΩ rheostat use cases with single-supply constraints; not a functional substitute for ISL23415TFRUZ-TK's 100kΩ/1.2V logic support. |
Compared with AD5175BRMZ-100 and MCP45HV51-103E/MS, the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK uniquely combines 1.2V logic compatibility, 100kΩ resistance, ultra-low shutdown current, and µTQFN packaging - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained portable instrumentation where volatile operation is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the default wiper position of the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK at power-up?
The ISL23415TFRUZ-TK powers up with its volatile Wiper Register (WR) preset to 0x80 (decimal 128), placing the wiper at mid-scale - ensuring a known, symmetric starting point for voltage divider or rheostat operation without MCU initialization.
Does the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK support daisy-chaining multiple devices on a single SPI bus?
Yes, the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK supports daisy-chain configuration: connect the SDO pin of one device to the SDI pin of the next, with shared SCK and CS lines. This enables simultaneous write/read operations across multiple ISL23415TFRUZ-TK units using reversed instruction sequencing.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK SPI interface?
The ISL23415TFRUZ-TK supports up to 5MHz SCK frequency when VLOGIC ≥ 1.7V; at VLOGIC = 1.2V–1.6V, the maximum SCK frequency is 1MHz - ensuring reliable timing margins across its full logic supply range.
How does the shutdown mode affect the terminals of the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK?
In shutdown mode (SHDN bit = 0), the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK opens the RH–RL path and internally shorts RW to RL via a 2kΩ resistor - effectively disabling the potentiometer function while preserving the last WR value for fast restoration upon exit.
Is the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK compatible with 1.2V logic-level microcontrollers without level shifting?
Yes, the ISL23415TFRUZ-TK features a dedicated VLOGIC pin supporting 1.2V–5.5V, allowing direct connection to 1.2V I/Os of modern ultra-low-power MCUs - eliminating external level translators and reducing BOM cost and board area.
