Product details
Overview
ISL95810UIRT8Z-T from Renesas Electronics is a single-channel digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 256 taps, I²C interface, 2.5kΩ end-to-end resistance, ±165 ppm/°C resistance temperature coefficient, and 70Ω typical wiper resistance at 3.3V - used for precision analog trimming in power supply feedback loops, sensor calibration, and programmable gain amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T datasheet, ISL95810UIRT8Z-T pinout, ISL95810UIRT8Z-T application, or ISL95810UIRT8Z-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The ISL95810UIRT8Z-T implements a monolithic CMOS DCP using resistor ladders and CMOS switches, with wiper position controlled via an 8-bit volatile Wiper Register (WR) and non-volatile Initial Value Register (IVR). At power-up, the IVR value (factory-set to 0x80) loads into WR, placing the wiper near mid-scale.
It operates as either a 3-terminal potentiometer (RH–RW–RL) or 2-terminal rheostat (RW–RL or RW–RH), supporting voltage divider and variable-resistor configurations. The I²C interface (400 kHz max) enables host-controlled wiper positioning, while hardware write protection (WP pin) prevents unintended non-volatile writes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Resistance | 2.5kΩ - sets full-scale range for voltage division or current limiting in bias networks. |
| Resolution | 256 taps (0.4% step resolution) - enables fine-grained analog adjustment without mechanical wear. |
| Wiper Resistance | 70Ω typical at 3.3V - minimizes insertion error in low-impedance signal paths. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with common logic rails and mixed-voltage systems. |
| Standby Current | 5µA max at 5.5V - supports ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or always-on circuits. |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and power management applications. |
| Non-Volatile Endurance | 200,000 write cycles - ensures long-term field reliability for infrequent calibration updates. |
Pinout & Package
ISL95810UIRT8Z-T uses an 8-lead 3×3 mm TDFN package (RoHS-compliant, exposed pad). Pin assignments are validated per Renesas FN8090 Rev.3.01, Page 2 (TDFN top view) and Page 4 (pin descriptions).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SDA) | I²C serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line; requires external pull-up; supports ACK/NACK handshaking. |
| 2 (SCL) | I²C clock input | Master-generated clock up to 400 kHz; timing-critical for register access and wiper update. |
| 3 (WP) | Hardware write protect | Active-low; must be HIGH to enable any I²C write - prevents accidental IVR or WR corruption. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for DCP terminals and digital interface; shared ground improves noise immunity. |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper terminal | Variable tap point; connects to amplifier inputs, feedback nodes, or bias resistors. |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor ladder; tied to GND or low-side reference in voltage divider mode. |
| 7 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor ladder; tied to VCC or high-side reference in voltage divider mode. |
| 8 (VCC) | Power supply | Supplies both digital logic and DCP analog core; bypassing with 0.1 µF ceramic recommended. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-volatile wiper storage | Factory-default 0x80 IVR ensures repeatable mid-scale startup; eliminates need for host initialization on every power cycle. |
| Low-noise wiper architecture | 70Ω typical wiper resistance and <25 pF wiper capacitance minimize signal distortion in audio and precision ADC reference paths. |
| I²C address flexibility | Single fixed I²C address (0x54) with R/W bit; simplifies multi-device bus design without address jumpers or configuration pins. |
| Monotonic DNL performance | -0.5 LSB max DNL (U option) guarantees no code skips or glitches during wiper sweeps - critical for closed-loop stability. |
| Extended temp reliability | 50-year data retention at ≤+75°C and 200k-cycle endurance support long-lifecycle industrial deployments. |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Trimming | Sensor Offset Calibration |
|---|---|
|

|
Use Scenario: Setting gain of instrumentation amplifier via feedback resistor ratio. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digitally adjustable feedback resistor in transimpedance or non-inverting amplifier topology. Use Value: 256-tap resolution allows 0.4% gain steps; monotonic DNL prevents gain discontinuities during dynamic adjustment. |
Use Scenario: Controlling constant-current source for RGB LED backlight dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Variable resistor in current-sense feedback loop of LED driver IC. Use Value: Non-volatile storage retains last brightness setting across power cycles; 2.5kΩ value optimizes sense voltage range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5170BRMZ-2.5 | 2.5kΩ, 256-tap, SPI interface, 45 ppm/°C TCR, 45Ω wiper resistance | Lacks hardware WP pin; requires SPI host instead of I²C; lower TCR but higher wiper resistance mismatch vs. ISL95810UIRT8Z-T | Choose when SPI is already dominant in system and tighter TCR outweighs missing WP protection. |
| MCP45HV51-2.5M | 2.5kΩ, 256-tap, I²C interface, 100 ppm/°C TCR, 120Ω wiper resistance, 12V tolerant | Higher wiper resistance increases insertion error; wider voltage tolerance (up to 12V) not needed for 5.5V systems | Prefer only if operating above 5.5V supply or requiring extended voltage margin beyond ISL95810UIRT8Z-T spec. |
Compared with AD5170BRMZ-2.5 and MCP45HV51-2.5M, the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T offers superior wiper resistance (70Ω vs. ≥45Ω), integrated hardware write protection, and optimized 2.5kΩ value for feedback networks - making it the most direct fit for industrial power and sensor signal conditioning where I²C compatibility and low-noise trimming are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the default wiper position after power-up for the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T?
The ISL95810UIRT8Z-T powers up with its wiper set to mid-scale (0x80 = decimal 128) by loading the factory-programmed value from the non-volatile Initial Value Register (IVR) into the volatile Wiper Register (WR). This behavior is guaranteed across all units and occurs within 3 ms after VCC exceeds 1.8 V.
Does the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T support both potentiometer and rheostat configurations?
Yes, the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T supports both modes: as a 3-terminal potentiometer (RH–RW–RL) for voltage division, and as a 2-terminal rheostat (RW–RL or RW–RH) for variable resistance. Its internal architecture allows monotonic resistance changes in both configurations, with DNL ≤ –0.5 LSB in rheostat mode per datasheet Figure 8.
How does the WP pin function on the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T is active-low: when pulled LOW, it disables all I²C write operations to both volatile and non-volatile registers. The device ignores incoming data bytes and returns to standby mode - providing hardware-level safeguard against unintended wiper or IVR changes during normal operation.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T?
The ISL95810UIRT8Z-T supports I²C standard-mode and fast-mode operation up to 400 kHz, as specified in the Serial Interface Specifications table (Page 4, FN8090 Rev.3.01). Timing parameters including tLOW (1300 ns), tHIGH (600 ns), and tSU:STA (600 ns) are fully characterized for reliable communication at this rate.
Is the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T RoHS-compliant and what package type does it use?
Yes, the ISL95810UIRT8Z-T is RoHS-compliant (Pb-free plus anneal) and uses an 8-lead 3×3 mm TDFN package (JEDEC L8.3x3A outline). The package features an exposed thermal pad for improved heat dissipation and is rated for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 at peak reflow temperatures meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
