Product details
Overview
X9250TS24IZ-2.7 from Intersil is a quad digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 256-tap resolution per channel, SPI serial interface, and dual analog supply support (V+ = +2.7V to +5.5V, V– = –5.5V to –2.7V). It integrates four independent 100kΩ resistor arrays, each with nonvolatile wiper position storage, 40Ω typical wiper resistance at 5V, and <5µA total standby current - used for precision voltage divider calibration in industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 datasheet, X9250TS24IZ-2.7 pinout, X9250TS24IZ-2.7 application, or X9250TS24IZ-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended low-voltage VCC range (2.7V–5.5V), guaranteed operation down to –40°C, Pb-free SOIC-24 package, and hardware write-protect (WP) pin for secure nonvolatile register updates.
Technical Context
The X9250TS24IZ-2.7 implements four independent 255-segment resistor arrays with CMOS switch-controlled wipers, each driven by an 8-bit volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR) and backed by four 8-bit nonvolatile Data Registers (DR0–DR3). Its SPI interface supports full-duplex communication with rising-edge data latching on SI and falling-edge data output on SO, plus HOLD pin for mid-transaction pause.
It operates with asymmetric dual analog supplies (V+/V–) enabling true bipolar signal adjustment, while digital logic runs from a separate VCC (2.7V–5.5V). Power-up automatically loads DR0 into each WCR, and nonvolatile writes require CS high-to-low transition after instruction completion, with internal 5–10ms write cycle time confirmed by WIP bit polling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Analog Supply Range | V+ = +2.7V to +5.5V; V– = –5.5V to –2.7V - supports true bipolar operation for AC-coupled or offset-adjustment circuits. |
| Resolution | 256 taps (0.4% step size) - provides 8-bit granularity for fine gain/offset tuning in closed-loop systems. |
| Wiper Resistance | 40Ω typical at VCC = 5V - minimizes loading error in high-impedance feedback paths (e.g., op-amp gain setting). |
| Standby Current | <5µA total package - suitable for battery-powered instrumentation requiring ultra-low quiescent power. |
| Data Retention | 100 years - ensures factory-calibrated settings persist over product lifetime without refresh. |
| Endurance | 100,000 data changes per bit per register - supports frequent recalibration in test equipment or adaptive systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5242BRUZ100 | Single 256-tap 100kΩ pot; I²C interface; no V+/V– dual supply; 24-lead TSSOP only. | Lacks quad integration and bipolar analog supply capability - requires four ICs and external level shifting for same functionality. | Select when I²C bus is preferred and bipolar operation is unnecessary; not drop-in compatible due to interface and supply architecture. |
| MCP42050-I/P | Dual 256-tap 50kΩ pot; SPI interface; single VDD (2.7V–5.5V); no nonvolatile storage; 14-lead PDIP/SOIC. | Half the channel count, no nonvolatile memory, and lower resistance - unsuitable for calibration retention or 4-channel systems. | Choose for cost-sensitive dual-channel applications without calibration persistence requirements; pinout and register map differ significantly. |
Compared with AD5242BRUZ100 and MCP42050-I/P, the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 uniquely delivers quad-channel, nonvolatile, bipolar-capable digital potentiometry in a single SOIC-24 package - reducing BOM count, PCB area, and firmware complexity for multi-parameter calibration systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage supported by the X9250TS24IZ-2.7?
The X9250TS24IZ-2.7 supports VCC from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems. This extended low-voltage capability is explicitly defined in the "Ordering Information" table and "Recommended Operating Conditions" section of the FN8165 datasheet, distinguishing it from the standard X9250 variant rated for 5V ±10%.
Does the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 support true bipolar analog operation?
Yes, the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 supports true bipolar analog operation via independent V+ (+2.7V to +5.5V) and V– (–5.5V to –2.7V) supplies. This allows wiper voltages to span the full range between V– and V+, enabling applications like AC-coupled signal offset adjustment without external level-shifting circuitry.
How many nonvolatile registers does the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 provide per potentiometer?
The X9250TS24IZ-2.7 provides four 8-bit nonvolatile Data Registers (DR0–DR3) for each of its four potentiometers. These registers store wiper positions or system parameters and retain data for 100 years, with endurance rated at 100,000 write cycles per bit - confirmed in the "Endurance and Data Retention" section of the datasheet.
Can the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 be used with a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 operates with VCC = 3.3V (within 2.7V–5.5V), but analog operation requires separate V+ and V– supplies. For unipolar use, V– can be tied to ground and V+ to 3.3V; for bipolar use, V+ and V– must be set to complementary rails (e.g., +2.7V/–2.7V), independent of VCC.
What is the function of the WP pin on the X9250TS24IZ-2.7?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on the X9250TS24IZ-2.7 disables all nonvolatile writes to the Data Registers when held LOW. This hardware-level protection prevents accidental overwriting of factory-calibrated values during system operation or firmware updates - a critical feature for field-deployed instrumentation.
