Product details
Overview
X9315UMI-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 2.7V–5.5V single-supply operation. It functions as a solid-state three-terminal potentiometer or two-terminal variable resistor in analog signal conditioning circuits requiring stable, repeatable resistance trimming under industrial temperature conditions (−40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the X9315UMI-2.7T1 datasheet, X9315UMI-2.7T1 pinout, X9315UMI-2.7T1 application, or X9315UMI-2.7T1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including 50kΩ end-to-end resistance, 3-wire serial interface timing, wiper resistance at 2.7V, nonvolatile store/reload behavior, and MSOP-8 package mechanical data - all confirmed from Intersil FN8179 Rev.2.00.
Technical Context
The X9315UMI-2.7T1 uses a 5-bit up/down counter driving a decoder that selects one of 32 wiper taps across a monolithic 31-resistor array. Wiper position is controlled via CS (chip select), U/D (direction), and edge-triggered INC inputs, with nonvolatile memory storing the last valid wiper setting on CS↑/INC↑.
It operates in 2.7V–5.5V supply range with active current ≤400µA (store mode) and standby current ≤5µA. The device features make-before-break switching, ±20% end-to-end resistance tolerance, and ratiometric temperature coefficient of ±20ppm/°C - enabling precision voltage division without external calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end resistance | 50kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog adjustment range for voltage divider or current-limiting applications |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Wiper resistance | 400Ω to 1000Ω at 2.7V - impacts minimum achievable output impedance and loading error in buffered configurations |
| Active supply current | ≤400µA during EEPROM store - limits power budget impact during configuration updates |
| Standby current | ≤5µA - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Temperature range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation without derating |
| Nonvolatile endurance | 100,000 wiper position changes - ensures long-term reliability in field-adjustable equipment |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (M8.118), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, body dimensions 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm (JEDEC MO-187AA).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply input | Must be ≥ VH, VL, VW; powers internal logic and resistor array; 2.7V–5.5V operation |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal terminals; must be common with system ground |
| RH/VH | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage range 0V to VCC; not polarity-referenced to wiper direction |
| RL/VL | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage range 0V to VCC; complementary to RH/VH |
| RW/VW | Wiper terminal | Movable tap point; series resistance 400–1000Ω at 2.7V; outputs interpolated voltage between RH and RL |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable; wiper position stored to NV memory on rising edge while INC = HIGH |
| U/D | Up/down control | Sets wiper movement direction (HIGH = increment, LOW = decrement) during INC transitions |
| INC | Increment clock | Negative-edge triggered; advances wiper one tap per valid edge when CS = LOW |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-wire serial interface | Requires only CS, U/D, and INC signals - eliminates need for SPI/I²C peripherals or address decoding logic |
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last-set position across power cycles - enables factory calibration and user-presets without external memory |
| Make-before-break switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during wiper stepping - avoids signal dropout in audio or sensor bias paths |
| Temperature-compensated array | ±20ppm/°C ratiometric TC - maintains voltage division accuracy over industrial temperature range |
| Low-power standby mode | 5µA max. quiescent current - suitable for always-on instrumentation with infrequent adjustment |

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, 100kΩ default RTOTAL, 2.7–5.5V supply | Requires I²C master; higher resolution but no native 50kΩ variant - needs external scaling resistors | Select if I²C bus already present and finer adjustment granularity is required; verify layout compatibility with MSOP-8 footprint |
| MCP41050-I/P | SPIM interface, 257-tap resolution, 50kΩ RTOTAL, 2.7–5.5V supply, volatile wiper register only | No nonvolatile storage - requires host MCU to reload wiper position at power-up | Select if high-resolution trimming is critical and system firmware can manage persistent state; avoid where power-loss recovery is mandatory |
Compared with AD5241BRMZ50 and MCP41050-I/P, the X9315UMI-2.7T1 uniquely combines 50kΩ resistance, 3-wire simplicity, and guaranteed nonvolatile retention - making it optimal for industrial systems needing robust, self-contained analog trimming without protocol overhead or external memory management.

FAQ
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9315UMI-2.7T1?
The X9315UMI-2.7T1 has a maximum wiper current rating of ±3.75mA under recommended operating conditions. This limit applies regardless of wiper position and must not be exceeded to prevent degradation of wiper resistance or long-term reliability. The device's 10mW maximum power rating and 400–1000Ω wiper resistance at 2.7V further constrain safe operating voltage differentials across the wiper terminal.
Does the X9315UMI-2.7T1 retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes, the X9315UMI-2.7T1 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it upon power-up. This behavior is guaranteed by design: the last valid wiper setting written to memory (via CS↑/INC↑ sequence) persists for up to 100 years and survives unlimited power cycles - eliminating need for initialization routines in host firmware.
Can the X9315UMI-2.7T1 operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the X9315UMI-2.7T1 is fully specified for 2.7V to 5.5V operation, making it compatible with standard 3.3V logic and power domains. At 3.3V, its active current remains ≤400µA (store mode) and standby current ≤5µA; input thresholds scale proportionally, ensuring reliable interface with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters.
What is the absolute linearity specification for the X9315UMI-2.7T1?
The X9315UMI-2.7T1 has an absolute linearity specification of ±1 minimum increment (MI), where MI = RTOTAL/31 ≈ 1.61kΩ for the 50kΩ version. This means the actual wiper voltage deviates from ideal by no more than ±1.61kΩ × (VH − VL)/RTOTAL at any tap position - translating to ±1% of full-scale output voltage under matched load conditions.
Is the X9315UMI-2.7T1 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the X9315UMI-2.7T1 is RoHS-compliant and manufactured with 100% matte tin (e3) termination finish. Its MSOP-8 package uses Pb-free molding compounds and die attach materials, and is rated for both SnPb and Pb-free reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 - meeting all applicable environmental compliance requirements for industrial electronics.
