Product details
Overview
X9315TMI-2.7 from Intersil is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) implementing a 31-element resistor array with 32 wiper tap positions, nonvolatile memory for power-up recall, and 3-wire serial interface (CS/U/D/INC). It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, offers 100kΩ end-to-end resistance, ±20% tolerance, and −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It serves as a solid-state replacement for mechanical potentiometers in precision analog trimming circuits.
For engineers reviewing the X9315TMI-2.7 datasheet, X9315TMI-2.7 pinout, X9315TMI-2.7 application, or X9315TMI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100kΩ RTOTAL value, MSOP-8 package with verified 8-pin terminal mapping, guaranteed nonvolatile wiper position retention over 100 years, and compatibility with low-voltage 2.7V systems requiring stable analog adjustment without external EEPROM.
Technical Context
The X9315TMI-2.7 integrates a 5-bit up/down counter, nonvolatile memory storage circuitry, and a resistor array with make-before-break wiper switching. Its control logic responds to CS (chip select), U/D (direction), and edge-triggered INC (increment) inputs to move the wiper across 32 discrete taps.
Wiper position is stored in EEPROM when CS transitions high while INC is high, enabling automatic restoration on power-up. The device supports ratiometric operation with VH/VL terminals referenced to VCC/VSS, and exhibits ±300 ppm/°C total resistance temperature coefficient and −120 dBV noise performance at 1 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RTOTAL | 100kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale resistance range for voltage divider or current-limiting configurations |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with 2.7V logic and mixed-voltage systems without level shifting |
| Wiper Tap Count | 32 positions - provides 3.125% resolution per step for fine analog parameter tuning |
| Nonvolatile Memory Endurance | 100,000 data changes per bit - supports frequent recalibration in field-deployed equipment |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor controls and sensor signal conditioning |
| Active Supply Current | 80µA max at VCC = 2.7V - minimizes system power budget in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Standby Current | 5µA max - allows indefinite retention of wiper state during sleep modes |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (M8.118), body dimensions 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm, RoHS-compliant matte tin termination, JEDEC MO-187BA compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply input | Must be ≥ VH, VL, VW; powers internal logic and resistor array; supports 2.7V–5.5V operation |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; establishes 0V reference for RH/VH and RL/VL terminals |
| RH/VH | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage ranges from VSS to VCC; not polarity-referenced to wiper direction |
| RL/VL | Low terminal | Opposite fixed end; completes three-terminal potentiometer configuration; same voltage range as RH/VH |
| RW/VW | Wiper output | Movable contact point; series resistance 400–1000Ω at 2.7V; connects to one of 32 tap points via decoded counter |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable; initiates wiper movement when low; triggers EEPROM store on rising edge with INC = high |
| U/D | Direction control | Sets wiper increment/decrement direction; valid only when CS = low; no effect during standby |
| INC | Increment clock | Negative-edge triggered; advances wiper position when CS = low; edge timing tCYC ≥ 4µs required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last-set position across power cycles for deterministic startup behavior without host reinitialization |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap transitions, critical for stable biasing in amplifier feedback networks |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±20% end-to-end resistance tolerance maintained over −40°C to +85°C, reducing calibration drift in thermal environments |
| Low-power CMOS architecture | 80µA active current at 2.7V enables integration into always-on sensor nodes and portable instrumentation |
| Ratiometric operation | VH/VL voltages constrained to 0–VCC range ensures predictable divider ratios independent of absolute supply variation |

Use Value: 32-tap resolution enables smooth, click-free attenuation steps; low −120 dBV noise prevents audible hiss in high-gain preamp paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5243BRMZ100 | I²C interface, dual-channel, 100kΩ, 256-tap resolution, 2.7–5.5V supply | Requires I²C master; higher resolution but no native nonvolatile recall on power-up without external controller intervention | Select when multi-channel coordination or finer resolution is prioritized over autonomous power-up behavior |
| MCP41HV51-104E/SN | Single-channel SPI interface, 100kΩ, 257-tap resolution, 4.5–18V high-voltage operation | Supports >5.5V analog rails but lacks guaranteed 2.7V compatibility; requires external SPI host and EEPROM management | Select for high-voltage analog systems where 2.7V operation is not required and SPI infrastructure already exists |
Compared with AD5243BRMZ100 and MCP41HV51-104E/SN, the X9315TMI-2.7 delivers autonomous power-up behavior without host firmware involvement, simpler 3-wire control timing, and guaranteed 2.7V functionality-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-pin-count industrial designs requiring deterministic analog initialization.

FAQ
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9315TMI-2.7?
The X9315TMI-2.7 has a maximum wiper current rating of ±3.75mA under recommended operating conditions. This limit ensures safe operation within the 10mW maximum power rating and prevents degradation of the 31-element resistor array or wiper switch contacts. Exceeding this current may cause irreversible resistance drift or open-circuit failure. The wiper resistance itself varies from 400Ω to 1000Ω at 2.7V, further constraining allowable voltage differentials across RW/VW.
Does the X9315TMI-2.7 require an external clock or microcontroller to retain wiper position after power loss?
No, the X9315TMI-2.7 does not require external components to retain wiper position. Its integrated nonvolatile memory stores the last wiper setting automatically when CS transitions high while INC is high, and recalls that value on subsequent power-up. This autonomous behavior is intrinsic to the X9315TMI-2.7 design and eliminates dependency on host firmware or external EEPROM, making it ideal for standalone analog subsystems.
Can the X9315TMI-2.7 operate reliably at 2.7V supply while maintaining full 32-tap functionality?
Yes, the X9315TMI-2.7 is fully specified for 2.7V to 5.5V operation and maintains all 32 wiper tap positions, 100kΩ RTOTAL, and functional timing parameters-including tCYC ≥ 4µs and tIW ≤ 5µs-at 2.7V. The datasheet explicitly lists "X9315-2.7" variants with VCC limits of 2.7V to 5.5V, and electrical tests confirm active current (80µA max) and wiper resistance (400–1000Ω) performance at this minimum voltage.
How does the make-before-break wiper switching in the X9315TMI-2.7 improve system stability?
The make-before-break wiper switching in the X9315TMI-2.7 prevents momentary open circuits during tap transitions by briefly connecting two adjacent resistor elements to RW/VW. This eliminates voltage glitches in feedback loops-such as those found in op-amp gain-setting networks or voltage reference dividers-and avoids disruptive current interruptions in bias paths like laser diode drivers. The feature is inherent to the X9315TMI-2.7's internal switch matrix and requires no external circuitry.
Is the X9315TMI-2.7 RoHS-compliant and compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the X9315TMI-2.7 is RoHS-compliant and features 100% matte tin plate (e3 termination finish) compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Its MSOP-8 package meets JEDEC MO-187BA standards and is rated for Pb-free peak reflow temperatures per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. The device is classified per MSL level appropriate for its package type, and full reflow profile details are available on the manufacturer's Pb-Free Reflow webpage.
