Product details
Overview
ISL95311UIU10Z-TK from Intersil is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 128-tap resolution, 50kΩ total resistance, I²C interface, 0V to +13.2V terminal voltage range, and nonvolatile initial value register for power-up wiper recall-used in LCD contrast control and precision bias adjustment circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK datasheet, ISL95311UIU10Z-TK pinout, ISL95311UIU10Z-TK application, or ISL95311UIU10Z-TK equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, true pin functions, real-world use cases, and confirmed alternative parts for industrial analog tuning and mechanical potentiometer replacement.
Technical Context
The ISL95311UIU10Z-TK implements a 127-element resistor array with CMOS "make-before-break" wiper switching, controlled by a 7-bit volatile Wiper Register (WR) and backed by a nonvolatile Initial Value Register (IVR). Its I²C slave address is configurable via A0/A1 pins, supporting up to four devices on one bus.
It operates in two distinct voltage domains: VCC (2.7V–5.5V) powers logic and memory, while V+ (8.0V–13.2V) biases the DCP terminals RH/RW/RL-enabling high-voltage analog signal conditioning without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RTOTAL | 50kΩ - fixed end-to-end resistance; defines full-scale analog range in voltage divider or variable resistor mode. |
| Terminal Voltage Range | 0V to +13.2V - supports direct connection to high-side analog rails without external level translation. |
| Wiper Resolution | 128 taps (0.8% step size) - enables fine-grained analog tuning with ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity over temperature. |
| Wiper Resistance | 70Ω typical @ 3.3V - low on-resistance preserves signal integrity and minimizes loading in precision feedback paths. |
| Standby Current | 2µA @ VCC = 3.6V - ultra-low quiescent draw suitable for battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Nonvolatile Endurance | 200,000 write cycles - sufficient for field calibration updates across product lifetime without wear-out risk. |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±4 ppm/°C (ratiometric), ±45 ppm/°C (absolute) - ensures stable tap-to-tap matching across -40°C to +85°C industrial range. |
Pinout & Package
ISL95311UIU10Z-TK is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 10-lead MSOP package (M10.118), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.0mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain interface requiring external pull-up; supports standard/fast-mode I²C (≤400kHz) with 50ns pulse suppression. |
| 2 GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for VCC logic and DCP bias; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into RW node. |
| 3 VCC | Logic supply input | 2.7V–5.5V digital core supply; powers I²C interface, registers, and control logic-must ramp monotonically before V+. |
| 4 A1 | I²C slave address bit 1 | Configures LSB of 7-bit slave address (01010xx); sets unique device ID alongside A0 for multi-drop bus operation. |
| 5 A0 | I²C slave address bit 0 | Configures LSB of 7-bit slave address (01010xx); enables up to four ISL95311 devices on same I²C bus. |
| 6 RH | High-side potentiometer terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to V+ rail (up to +13.2V); not tied to VCC-supports independent high-voltage biasing. |
| 7 RW | Wiper output terminal | Movable contact point; delivers tapped voltage or resistance between RH and RL; low 70Ω typical resistance preserves signal fidelity. |
| 8 RL | Low-side potentiometer terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; typically grounded or referenced to 0V; forms voltage divider with RH and RW. |
| 9 V+ | DCP bias supply | 8.0V–13.2V analog supply for RH/RW/RL terminals; must be applied after or simultaneously with VCC to prevent undefined wiper states. |
| 10 SCL | I²C clock input | Open-drain clock line requiring external pull-up; timing compliant with I²C fast-mode spec (tLOW ≥1300ns, tHIGH ≥600ns). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper initialization | IVR pre-programmed to 40h (64 decimal) ensures repeatable mid-scale power-up position without host firmware intervention. |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Eliminates momentary open-circuit or short-circuit conditions during tap transitions-critical for stable feedback loops and bias networks. |
| Independent V+ and VCC supplies | Enables high-voltage analog signal conditioning (e.g., 12V LCD bias) while maintaining 3.3V/5V microcontroller compatibility. |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±4 ppm/°C ratiometric TCV ensures consistent voltage division accuracy across -40°C to +85°C without calibration. |
| Low-leakage DCP terminals | ≤1 µA leakage at RH/RW/RL pins minimizes error in high-impedance sensor biasing or reference divider 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5175BRMZ-50 | 50kΩ, SPI interface, 256-tap resolution, 2.7V–5.5V single supply only (no separate V+) | Lacks high-voltage DCP bias capability; requires level-shifting for >5.5V analog rails | Choose when SPI is preferred and all analog signals remain ≤5.5V; lower resolution tolerance (±20%) vs. ISL95311UIU10Z-TK's ±20% RTOTAL but tighter INL. |
| MCP45HV51-503 | 50kΩ, I²C interface, 128-tap, supports 12V V+ but requires external charge pump for VCC generation | Higher standby current (10µA vs. 2µA); no integrated VCC regulator-adds BOM complexity | Choose when existing design uses Microchip ecosystem; verify VCC generation overhead and thermal impact of charge pump. |
Compared with AD5175BRMZ-50 and MCP45HV51-503, the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK uniquely combines independent 13.2V V+ biasing, ultra-low 2µA standby current, and factory-programmed IVR-making it optimal for high-voltage, low-power, calibration-critical industrial and automotive analog tuning.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the RH, RW, and RL pins of the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK?
The RH, RW, and RL pins of the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK support a maximum voltage of +13.2V relative to GND, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct connection to 12V systems without external level-shifting components. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage to the internal resistor array and switches.
Does the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes-the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK stores the wiper position in a nonvolatile Initial Value Register (IVR) that is automatically loaded into the volatile Wiper Register (WR) at power-up. The IVR is pre-programmed to 40h (64 decimal), placing the wiper at mid-scale unless reprogrammed, ensuring repeatable startup behavior without host MCU intervention.
Can the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK operate with different supply voltages for logic and analog sections?
Yes-the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK uses separate supplies: VCC (2.7V–5.5V) powers the I²C interface and logic, while V+ (8.0V–13.2V) independently biases the RH/RW/RL terminals. This dual-supply architecture enables high-voltage analog signal conditioning while interfacing seamlessly with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers.
What is the I²C address configuration method for the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK?
The ISL95311UIU10Z-TK uses pins A0 and A1 to configure the two least-significant bits of its 7-bit I²C slave address (base 01010xx). With both pins grounded, the address is 0x28; with A0=high/A1=low, it becomes 0x29. This allows up to four ISL95311UIU10Z-TK devices on a single I²C bus without address conflict.
How does the ISL95311UIU10Z-TK handle wiper transitions to prevent glitches?
The ISL95311UIU10Z-TK employs "make-before-break" switching during wiper transitions, ensuring continuous conduction between adjacent taps. This eliminates momentary open-circuits or shorts that could disrupt sensitive analog circuits-such as op-amp feedback paths or voltage references-maintaining signal continuity throughout tap changes.
