Product details
Overview
X9315TSI-2.7 from Intersil is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) implementing a 31-element resistor array with 32 wiper tap positions, nonvolatile wiper position storage, and 3-wire serial interface (CS/U/D/INC). It operates from 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 three-terminal voltage divider or two-terminal variable resistor in precision analog trimming applications.
For engineers reviewing the X9315TSI-2.7 datasheet, X9315TSI-2.7 pinout, X9315TSI-2.7 application, or X9315TSI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V minimum supply, 10kΩ total resistance, nonvolatile recall on power-up, low 5µA standby current, and compatibility with digital control systems requiring stable analog adjustment without mechanical wear.
Technical Context
The X9315TSI-2.7 uses a 5-bit up/down counter driving a decoder that selects one of 32 wiper positions across a monolithic 31-resistor ladder. Wiper movement is edge-triggered via INC input with direction controlled by U/D, and CS enables selection and initiates nonvolatile store when transitioned high while INC is high.
Its resistor array features temperature-compensated elements with ±300 ppm/°C total resistance TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC, ensuring stable voltage division over temperature. The wiper terminal exhibits 400–1000Ω resistance at 2.7V supply, and the device guarantees 100,000 data changes per bit and 100-year data retention in nonvolatile memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total resistance (RTOTAL) | 10kΩ - fixed end-to-end resistance value defining full-scale analog adjustment range |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct operation from 3.3V or 5V rails without level-shifting |
| Wiper positions | 32 taps - provides 31-step resolution for precise analog parameter control |
| Standby current | 5µA max - minimizes quiescent power in battery-powered or always-on systems |
| Nonvolatile store time | 5–10ms - defines minimum CS high pulse width required to reliably save wiper position |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and automotive cabin applications |
| Wiper resistance | 400–1000Ω at 2.7V - impacts loading error in high-impedance voltage divider configurations |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5243BRMZ10 | 2-channel I²C interface, 10kΩ, 256-tap resolution, 2.7–5.5V supply | Supports dual independent pots; requires I²C bus and address configuration | Choose when multi-pot integration or higher resolution is needed; not drop-in compatible |
| MCP41010-I/P | Single-channel SPI interface, 10kΩ, 257-tap resolution, 2.7–5.5V supply | Uses 4-wire SPI (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO); no nonvolatile store on power-down | Choose when SPI-native microcontrollers are used and EEPROM persistence is not required |
Compared with AD5243BRMZ10 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9315TSI-2.7 offers simpler 3-wire control, guaranteed nonvolatile recall, and lower pin count-but lacks multi-channel capability or SPI/I²C protocol flexibility.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range for the X9315TSI-2.7?
The X9315TSI-2.7 operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems. This wide range allows direct interfacing with common microcontroller I/O without level shifters, and the device maintains specified performance-including wiper resistance and active current-across the entire range. The X9315TSI-2.7 datasheet confirms this in the Recommended Operating Conditions table on page 6.
Does the X9315TSI-2.7 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9315TSI-2.7 stores the current wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it on power-up. This feature is enabled by asserting CS HIGH while INC is HIGH-a store command that takes 5–10ms to complete. Once stored, the setting persists for up to 100 years. The X9315TSI-2.7 implements this using EEPROM technology integrated into the same die as the resistor array.
What package type and lead count does the X9315TSI-2.7 use?
The X9315TSI-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012-AA, drawing M8.15E), with dimensions 4.90mm × 3.90mm × 1.75mm max. It is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free, with matte tin (e3) termination. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or mark in the index area, and the package is rated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
How many wiper positions does the X9315TSI-2.7 support?
The X9315TSI-2.7 provides 32 discrete wiper tap positions, corresponding to a 5-bit counter (0–31). These positions span the full 10kΩ resistor array composed of 31 equal segments. Each step represents a nominal 322Ω increment (10kΩ ÷ 31), and absolute linearity error is specified at ±1 minimum increment (±322Ω) across the range.
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9315TSI-2.7?
The X9315TSI-2.7 specifies a maximum wiper current (IW) of ±3.75mA under recommended operating conditions. Exceeding this may cause localized heating or accelerated wear of the internal switch network. The device's 10mW maximum power rating and wiper resistance (400–1000Ω at 2.7V) further constrain safe operating conditions-designers must ensure voltage differentials across RH–RL remain within limits to avoid exceeding IW.
