Product details
Overview
X9315TMT1 from Intersil is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) implementing a 31-element resistor array with 32 discrete wiper tap positions, nonvolatile wiper position storage, and 3-wire serial interface (CS/U/D/INC). It operates at 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers ±20% end-to-end resistance tolerance, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in an 8-lead SOIC package. It functions as a solid-state replacement for mechanical potentiometers in precision analog trimming applications.
For engineers reviewing the X9315TMT1 datasheet, X9315TMT1 pinout, X9315TMT1 application, or X9315TMT1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functionality, real-world use cases in signal conditioning and parameter calibration, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The X9315TMT1 integrates a 5-bit up/down counter, nonvolatile memory for wiper position retention, and a resistor array with make-before-break switching. Its control logic responds to negative-edge-triggered INC pulses while direction is set by U/D level, and stores position on CS↑ with INC HIGH.
It features temperature-compensated resistive elements (±300 ppm/°C RTOTAL TC), low-noise operation (–120 dBV @ 1 kHz), and wiper resistance of 200 Ω (typ.) at VCC = 5V. The device maintains wiper position across power cycles and supports both three-terminal potentiometer and two-terminal variable resistor configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end resistance | 100 kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog adjustment range and load interaction in voltage divider circuits |
| Wiper tap resolution | 32 positions - enables 3.125% step granularity for fine analog tuning |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports dual-rail compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting |
| Active supply current | 80 µA max - ensures ultra-low power consumption during active wiper adjustment |
| Nonvolatile store time | 5–10 ms - determines minimum CS pulse width required to reliably save wiper position to EEPROM |
| Wiper resistance | 200 Ω typ. at 5 V - impacts signal integrity and loading error in high-impedance feedback paths |
| Temperature range | –40°C to +85°C - qualifies for industrial-grade embedded control and sensor interface designs |

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, 256-tap resolution, 100 kΩ nominal, ±30% RTOTAL tolerance | Requires I²C host support; higher resolution but looser resistance tolerance affects absolute accuracy | Select when dual independent pots or I²C bus integration is required; verify tolerance impact on closed-loop stability |
| MCP41010-I/P | Serial SPI interface, single-channel, 256-tap resolution, 10 kΩ nominal, volatile wiper register only | No nonvolatile storage; requires host reinitialization at power-up; lower RTOTAL increases current draw in voltage dividers | Choose for cost-sensitive, SPI-based systems where startup repeatability is managed externally |
Compared with AD5243BRMZ100 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9315TMT1 offers guaranteed nonvolatile retention, simpler 3-wire protocol, and industrial temperature rating-making it optimal for unattended, field-deployed analog calibration where power-loss resilience is critical.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and lead count for X9315TMT1?
The X9315TMT1 uses an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package per JEDEC MS-012-AA (drawing M8.15), with Pb-free terminations and RoHS compliance. Its dimensions are 3.90 mm × 4.90 mm, and it is compatible with standard SOIC-8 footprints and reflow profiles.
Does X9315TMT1 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9315TMT1 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile EEPROM memory. Upon power-up, it automatically recalls the last stored value, ensuring repeatable analog settings without host intervention-critical for unattended industrial equipment.
What is the maximum allowable voltage across RH/VH and RL/VL terminals of X9315TMT1?
The X9315TMT1 specifies ΔV = |VH – VL| ≤ 5 V under all operating conditions. Exceeding this differential voltage risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause irreversible damage to the internal resistor array or switches.
Can X9315TMT1 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the X9315TMT1 supports VCC from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, making it fully compatible with 3.3 V systems. At 3.3 V, wiper resistance rises to 400–1000 Ω (typ./max), and active current remains ≤80 µA, preserving low-power operation.
How is the wiper position stored in nonvolatile memory on X9315TMT1?
To store the current wiper position in nonvolatile memory, assert CS HIGH while holding INC HIGH. This triggers a 5–10 ms EEPROM write cycle. During this time, the device enters standby mode and ignores further INC edges until completion.
