Product details
Overview
ISL90728UIE627Z-TK from Intersil is a volatile, single-channel, 128-tap digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with I²C interface, 50kΩ total resistance, ±20% tolerance, and 6-lead SC-70 package. It replaces mechanical potentiometers in precision analog adjustment circuits requiring stable wiper positioning, low temperature drift (±15 ppm/°C in divider mode), and rail-to-rail DCP terminal voltage (2.7V–5.5V). Used in LCD contrast control, RF amplifier biasing, and sensor transducer calibration.
For engineers reviewing the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK datasheet, ISL90728UIE627Z-TK pinout, ISL90728UIE627Z-TK application, or ISL90728UIE627Z-TK equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for analog trimming and programmable gain/offset design.
Technical Context
The ISL90728UIE627Z-TK implements a 127-element resistor array with CMOS wiper switches controlled by a 7-bit volatile wiper register (WR), initialized to midscale (0x40) at power-up. Its I²C slave interface operates at up to 400kHz with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, fixed 7-bit address 0x7C (R/W bit appended), and supports volatile write/read only-no non-volatile storage.
It operates exclusively in two modes: voltage divider (RH–RW–RL) and rheostat (RW–RH or RW–RL). RH is the high terminal, RW is the wiper, RL is internally tied to GND, and VDD supplies both logic and DCP circuitry. Wiper resistance is 85–200Ω at VCC = 3.3V, and ratiometric tempco is ±15 ppm/°C in divider mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Resistance (RTOTAL) | 50kΩ ±20% - sets full-scale analog range for gain/offset/bias networks |
| Wiper Tap Points | 128 positions (0x00–0x7F) - enables 7.8mV/LSB resolution in 3.3V divider with 50kΩ |
| I²C Address | 0x7C (7-bit) - avoids conflict with ISL90727 (0x5C) on shared bus |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic/system rails |
| Tempco (Divider Mode) | ±15 ppm/°C typical - ensures <0.1% resistance drift over –40°C to +85°C |
| Standby Current | 500nA max - enables ultra-low-power retention in battery-backed systems |
| Wiper Response Time | 500ns - supports fast dynamic reconfiguration without signal glitch |
Pinout & Package
6-lead SC-70 package (Pb-free, RoHS compliant, JEDEC MO203AB / EIAJ SC70); dimensions: 2.15mm × 1.35mm × 0.95mm (max height), thermal resistance θJA = 480°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Positive supply input | Powers internal logic and DCP array; must be decoupled near pin; no separate analog/digital rail required |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for VDD, I²C interface, and RL terminal; RL is internally connected to this pin |
| 3 (SCL) | I²C clock input | Open-drain, requires external pull-up; timing-critical for START/STOP/data hold setup per I²C spec |
| 4 (SDA) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain, shares pull-up with SCL; ACK/NACK behavior confirms register access success |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper terminal | Output node of adjustable divider/rheostat; 85–200Ω wiper resistance affects loading in precision circuits |
| 6 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage applied here defines upper rail of divider; not internally connected to VDD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Volatile wiper register | 7-bit WR resets to 0x40 at power-up - ensures repeatable midscale startup without external initialization |
| I²C-compatible interface | 400kHz max clock, fixed 0x7C address - simplifies integration into existing microcontroller-based control buses |
| Low tempco divider mode | ±15 ppm/°C typical - maintains linearity and ratio accuracy across industrial temperature range |
| Ultra-low standby current | 500nA max at 5.5V - extends battery life in portable sensor or display modules |
| SC-70 footprint | 6-lead, 2.15mm × 1.35mm - enables high-density analog trimming in space-constrained PCBs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5170BRJZ-50-R7 | Non-volatile EEPROM storage; 256-tap; SPI interface; 50kΩ; same SC-70-6 package | Retains wiper position after power cycle; requires SPI host instead of I²C | Choose when persistent settings are mandatory and SPI is available; not drop-in due to protocol and memory architecture differences |
| MCP4017T-503E/CH | Volatile; 64-tap; I²C; 50kΩ; SOT-23-6 package (pinout incompatible) | Lower resolution; higher wiper resistance (120Ω typ); different pin mapping (VDD/GND swapped vs. ISL90728) | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 64-tap resolution suffices and board layout allows SOT-23-6 footprint change |
Compared with ISL90728UIE627Z-TK, AD5170BRJZ-50-R7 adds non-volatility at the cost of SPI-only interface and higher write latency, while MCP4017T-503E/CH offers I²C compatibility but sacrifices tap count, tempco performance, and pinout compatibility-requiring PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the I²C address of the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK?
The ISL90728UIE627Z-TK uses a fixed 7-bit I²C slave address of 0x7C. This differs from the ISL90727 (0x5C), allowing both devices to coexist on the same bus. The R/W bit is appended externally during communication, so read operations use 0xFE and writes use 0xFD. Address is hardwired and not configurable.
Does the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK retain wiper position after power loss?
No, the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK is volatile-only: wiper position is stored in a RAM-based register that resets to 0x40 (midscale) on each power-up. It lacks EEPROM or other non-volatile storage. For persistent settings, consider alternatives like the AD5170BRJZ-50-R7.
Can the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK be used in rheostat mode?
Yes, the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK supports rheostat operation using RW and RH terminals (with RL tied to GND). In this configuration, resistance varies from ~0Ω to 50kΩ across 128 steps. Wiper resistance (85–200Ω) directly impacts minimum achievable resistance and must be accounted for in low-value rheostat designs.
What is the maximum operating voltage for DCP terminals on the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK?
The DCP terminals (RH, RW, RL) tolerate voltages from –0.3V to VDD, per absolute maximum ratings. With VDD = 5.5V, RH and RW may swing up to 5.5V relative to GND. Exceeding VDD or going below –0.3V risks latch-up or damage. RL is internally bonded to GND, so its voltage is fixed.
Is the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the ISL90728UIE627Z-TK is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, using 100% matte tin (e3) termination finish. It meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow requirements for lead-free soldering and is rated MSL1. Full compliance documentation is available in Intersil's TB347 and TB363 technical briefs.
