Product details
Overview
ISL90461WIH627-TK from Intersil is a digitally controlled volatile potentiometer (XDCP) configured as a 10kΩ variable resistor with 32 wiper tap points, 2-pin UP/DN interface, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. It delivers ±1 MI absolute linearity and 35 ppm/°C tempco for precision analog trimming in compact industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ISL90461WIH627-TK datasheet, ISL90461WIH627-TK pinout, ISL90461WIH627-TK application, or ISL90461WIH627-TK equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-6 package, volatile memory architecture, 25µA active current, RH/RL terminal configuration, and compatibility with LCD contrast control and transducer biasing circuits.
Technical Context
The ISL90461WIH627-TK implements a 31-element resistor array with electronic wiper switching controlled by CS and U/D inputs; wiper position is stored in volatile memory upon CS high transition. Its operation requires no external clock or serial protocol-only edge-triggered up/down pulses synchronized to chip select.
It functions exclusively as a two-terminal variable resistor (RH–RL), not a three-terminal potentiometer: RH serves as both wiper and high-side terminal, eliminating independent wiper output. This architecture enables low-power biasing of laser diodes and sensor bridges without additional routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RTOTAL | 10 kΩ - fixed end-to-end resistance defining full-scale analog range for gain/offset tuning |
| Wiper resolution | 32 taps - provides 31 discrete resistance steps between RH and RL terminals |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic/system rails |
| Active current | 25 µA max - enables battery-powered sensor calibration without significant drain |
| Tempco | ±35 ppm/°C typical - ensures stable resistance over -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range |
| Settling time | 1 µs - allows rapid reconfiguration during dynamic system calibration sequences |
| Input leakage | ±1 µA - minimizes error current injection into high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
ISL90461WIH627-TK is housed in a 6-lead SOT-23 plastic package (JEDEC MO178AB, pkg drawing P6.064), measuring 2.80 mm × 2.60 mm × 1.30 mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.95 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; powers internal CMOS logic and switch array |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| U/D | Direction control input | LOW = decrement wiper toward RL; HIGH = increment toward RH on rising edge |
| CS | Chip select enable | LOW activates counter; HIGH stores current tap and enters standby (0.3 µA) |
| RL | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; forms two-terminal variable resistor with RH |
| RH | High terminal / Wiper | Connected internally to wiper; resistance RH–RL varies with tap position |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Volatile XDCP architecture | Eliminates nonvolatile memory wear-out; resets to default tap on power-up unless externally initialized |
| 2-pin UP/DN interface | Reduces PCB routing complexity vs. SPI/I²C; compatible with GPIO-limited microcontrollers |
| 0.3 µA standby current | Enables always-on calibration nodes in energy-constrained IoT sensor nodes |
| ±1 MI absolute linearity | Ensures predictable voltage division across full 32-tap range for accurate sensor offset correction |
| SC-70/SOT-23 package options | Supports space-constrained designs; ISL90461WIH627-TK uses SOT-23 for higher thermal mass and handling robustness |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5160BRJZ-10-R7 | 32-tap, 10 kΩ, SPI interface, 1.8–5.5 V supply, ±20% RTOT tolerance | Requires SPI controller; higher RTOT tolerance impacts absolute accuracy in trimming | Select when SPI infrastructure exists and deterministic write timing is required |
| MCP4017T-103I/OT | 64-tap, 10 kΩ, I²C interface, 2.7–5.5 V, ±20% RTOT, 100 ppm/°C tempco | Higher resolution but worse tempco; I²C addressability supports multi-device buses | Select when multiple DCPs share a bus and 64-step granularity justifies added interface overhead |
Compared with AD5160BRJZ-10-R7 and MCP4017T-103I/OT, the ISL90461WIH627-TK offers superior temperature stability (±35 ppm/°C vs. 100 ppm/°C), lower active current (25 µA vs. 40–60 µA), and minimal GPIO footprint-making it optimal for standalone, low-power, high-stability analog trimming where SPI/I²C resources are constrained.

FAQ
What is the terminal configuration of the ISL90461WIH627-TK?
The ISL90461WIH627-TK operates as a two-terminal variable resistor: RH serves as both the wiper and high-side terminal, while RL is the low-side terminal. There is no independent wiper output pin-resistance is measured exclusively between RH and RL, and wiper movement shifts the effective tap point along the 31-resistor array.
Does the ISL90461WIH627-TK retain wiper position after power cycling?
No, the ISL90461WIH627-TK uses volatile memory only. Upon power-up, the wiper defaults to an undefined position and must be reinitialized via the UP/DN interface. System firmware must restore the desired tap count after each reset or power cycle to ensure repeatable analog settings.
What is the maximum allowable voltage across RH and RL terminals of the ISL90461WIH627-TK?
The ISL90461WIH627-TK specifies RH and RL terminal voltages from 0 V to VDD (2.7–5.5 V). Applying voltage beyond this range-such as AC signals exceeding VDD or reverse polarity-violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. It is intended for DC bias and trimming, not signal attenuation.
Can the ISL90461WIH627-TK be used in a three-terminal potentiometer configuration?
No-the ISL90461WIH627-TK lacks an independent wiper output. Its internal architecture connects the wiper directly to RH, making RH both the adjustable node and one end of the resistor string. For true three-terminal operation (e.g., voltage divider with separate wiper), a different device such as the ISL22316 or AD5206 is required.
How does the ISL90461WIH627-TK handle rapid successive wiper adjustments?
When the ISL90461WIH627-TK wiper moves multiple positions rapidly, the RH–RL resistance may transiently deviate due to internal switch settling. The datasheet specifies 1 µs settling time per step; moving N steps consecutively requires N × 1 µs for full stabilization. Applications demanding fast multi-step reconfiguration must account for cumulative settling delay to avoid measurement errors.
