Product details
Overview
X9315UM-2.7T1 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-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in an 8-lead MSOP package. It serves as a solid-state replacement for mechanical potentiometers in precision analog trimming applications.
For engineers reviewing the X9315UM-2.7T1 datasheet, X9315UM-2.7T1 pinout, X9315UM-2.7T1 application, or X9315UM-2.7T1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, confirmed RTOTAL = 50kΩ specification, wiper resistance values at 2.7V, nonvolatile store timing (10 ms), and real-world use cases in voltage reference calibration and sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The X9315UM-2.7T1 integrates a 5-bit up/down counter, nonvolatile EEPROM memory, and a 31-resistor ladder network with make-before-break wiper switching. Its control logic responds to negative-edge-triggered INC pulses while U/D sets direction, and CS enables selection and initiates nonvolatile store when raised high with INC high.
It features temperature-compensated resistor elements (±300 ppm/°C RTOTAL TC), ratiometric stability (±20 ppm/°C), and low-noise operation (–120 dBV @ 1 kHz). Wiper resistance is 400–1000 Ω at VCC = 2.7V, and absolute linearity error is limited to ±1 MI (minimum increment = RTOTAL/31 ≈ 1.61 kΩ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RTOTAL | 50 kΩ - fixed end-to-end resistance defining full-scale analog adjustment range |
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation from Li-ion or 3.3 V systems without level-shifting |
| Wiper Positions | 32 taps - enables 31-step resolution (≈3.2% per step) for fine-grained analog control |
| Nonvolatile Store Time | 5–10 ms - defines minimum CS high pulse width required to reliably save wiper position to EEPROM |
| Wiper Resistance | 400–1000 Ω at 2.7 V - impacts loading error in high-impedance divider configurations |
| Active Current | 80 µA max - enables ultra-low-power trimming in battery-operated sensor nodes |
| Standby Current | 5 µA max - ensures minimal quiescent draw during system sleep modes |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (Pb-free, RoHS-compliant), JEDEC MO-187AA / Intersil M8.118, body dimensions 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RH/VH | High terminal of resistor array | Connects to maximum potential (VCC or reference); forms top node of voltage divider |
| RL/VL | Low terminal of resistor array | Connects to minimum potential (VSS or ground); forms bottom node of voltage divider |
| RW/VW | Wiper output terminal | Delivers adjustable voltage/current; series resistance affects accuracy in high-Z loads |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and analog circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| VCC | Supply voltage input | Power source for digital control and resistor array; must be ≥ VH, VL, VW |
| U/D | Up/down direction control | Logic level determines wiper movement direction during INC transitions |
| INC | Increment clock input | Negative-edge-triggered; advances or retreats wiper one position per valid edge |
| CS | Chip select / store enable | Active-low selection; rising edge with INC high initiates nonvolatile store |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last-set position across power cycles; eliminates startup recalibration |
| 3-wire serial interface | Requires only CS, U/D, and INC signals-no clock or data lines-reducing MCU GPIO usage |
| Make-before-break switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during wiper movement; avoids signal dropout in critical paths |
| Temperature-compensated array | ±300 ppm/°C RTOTAL drift enables stable gain/offset trimming over –40°C to +85°C |
| Low power CMOS design | 80 µA active / 5 µA standby current supports always-on analog subsystems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5241BRMZ50 | I²C interface, 64-tap resolution, 200 kΩ max wiper resistance at 2.7 V, 100 kΩ RTOTAL option only | Requires I²C host support; higher RTOTAL limits current drive capability in low-impedance dividers | Select if I²C bus is available and finer 1.56% step resolution is needed over X9315UM-2.7T1's 3.2% steps |
| MCP41050-I/P | SPITM interface, 257-tap resolution, 100 Ω typical wiper resistance, 5.5 V max VCC, no 2.7 V min spec | Higher resolution but lacks guaranteed 2.7 V operation; wiper resistance too low for noise-sensitive analog paths | Select for high-precision digital pot applications above 3 V where SPI compatibility and lower wiper R are prioritized |
Compared with AD5241BRMZ50 and MCP41050-I/P, the X9315UM-2.7T1 offers deterministic 3-wire timing, guaranteed 2.7 V operation, and optimized wiper resistance for low-noise analog trimming-making it preferable for industrial sensor and reference circuits where simplicity and voltage margin matter most.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum operating voltage for the X9315UM-2.7T1?
The X9315UM-2.7T1 is specified for operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This 2.7 V minimum enables reliable function in single-cell Li-ion and 3.3 V systems without external regulators. The "-2.7" suffix explicitly denotes this extended low-voltage capability, distinguishing it from standard 5 V-only variants like X9315UMZ.
Does the X9315UM-2.7T1 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9315UM-2.7T1 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile EEPROM memory. Upon power-up, it automatically recalls the last stored value, eliminating the need for host MCU initialization. The device guarantees 100 years of data retention and 100,000 store cycles-critical for unattended industrial equipment using the X9315UM-2.7T1.
What is the wiper resistance of the X9315UM-2.7T1 at 2.7 V supply?
At VCC = 2.7 V, the X9315UM-2.7T1 exhibits a wiper resistance of 400 Ω (typical) to 1000 Ω (maximum). This higher resistance compared to 5 V operation (200–400 Ω) directly impacts loading error in high-impedance voltage dividers and must be accounted for in precision analog designs using the X9315UM-2.7T1.
Can the X9315UM-2.7T1 be used as a two-terminal variable resistor?
Yes, the X9315UM-2.7T1 supports both three-terminal potentiometer and two-terminal variable resistor configurations. In two-terminal mode, RH/VH and RW/VW (or RL/VL and RW/VW) are used, effectively creating a digitally adjustable resistance element. This configuration is commonly applied in LED current control and bias network tuning using the X9315UM-2.7T1.
What package type is used for the X9315UM-2.7T1?
The X9315UM-2.7T1 is supplied in an 8-lead MSOP package (JEDEC MO-187AA, Intersil M8.118), measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm. It is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, with matte tin (e3) termination suitable for both SnPb and lead-free reflow processes-ensuring compatibility in modern manufacturing flows for the X9315UM-2.7T1.
