Product details
Overview
X9315UMT1 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 functions as a solid-state replacement for mechanical potentiometers in precision analog trimming applications requiring stable resistance values across temperature and time, such as sensor calibration and power supply feedback networks.
For engineers reviewing the X9315UMT1 datasheet, X9315UMT1 pinout, X9315UMT1 application, or X9315UMT1 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications including 50kΩ end-to-end resistance, ±20% tolerance, 5V operation, 80µA active current, and MSOP-8 package compatibility - all critical for layout, firmware integration, and long-term reliability validation.
Technical Context
The X9315UMT1 uses a 5-bit up/down counter driving a decoder to select one of 32 wiper positions across a monolithic resistor ladder. Wiper movement is controlled by edge-triggered INC input synchronized with U/D direction logic, and CS enables selection and nonvolatile store operations.
Its resistor array features temperature-compensated elements with ±300 ppm/°C total resistance TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC, while wiper resistance is 200Ω (typ.) at VCC = 5V. The device operates in make-before-break switching mode during tap transitions, ensuring continuity but temporarily reducing effective RTOTAL during multi-step moves.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end resistance | 50kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog range for voltage divider or variable resistor use |
| Wiper resolution | 32 taps (0–31) - enables 3.125% step granularity across full resistance range |
| Supply voltage | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard 5V logic and analog rails; no 2.7V variant |
| Active supply current | 80µA max - supports low-power embedded systems with infrequent adjustment cycles |
| Standby current | 5µA max - enables battery-backed or always-on trim applications without significant drain |
| Nonvolatile memory endurance | 100,000 write cycles - ensures reliable field recalibration over product lifetime |
| Data retention | 100 years - guarantees wiper position persistence across decades of storage or shelf life |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, Pb-free, JEDEC MO-187BA compliant; dimensions per M8.118 drawing).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply rail | Must be ≥ VH, VL, VW; powers internal logic and resistor array; 5V ±10% nominal |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal currents; must be common with system ground |
| RH/VH | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage range 0 to VCC; not polarity-referenced to wiper |
| RL/VL | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage range 0 to VCC; relative label depends on U/D state |
| RW/VW | Wiper terminal | Movable tap point; series resistance 200Ω (typ.) at 5V; connects to one of 32 nodes |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; HIGH initiates nonvolatile store when INC is also HIGH |
| U/D | Up/Down control | Sets wiper increment/decrement direction during next INC transition |
| INC | Increment clock | Negative-edge triggered; toggles wiper position in U/D-defined direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last set position across power cycles - eliminates startup drift in closed-loop systems |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300 ppm/°C RTOTAL TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC - maintains voltage division accuracy over -40°C to +85°C |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap changes - critical for stable biasing in amplifier feedback paths |
| Low-noise performance | -120 dBV (ref 1 kHz) - suitable for audio and precision sensor signal conditioning without added noise floor |
| 3-wire serial interface | No external clock or data lines required - simplifies MCU GPIO usage and reduces BOM count vs. SPI/I²C alternatives |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5243BRMZ50 | I²C interface, dual-channel, 256-tap resolution, 50kΩ, ±30% RTOTAL tolerance | Requires I²C host; higher resolution but looser resistance tolerance affects absolute voltage accuracy | Select for multi-channel trimming or when I²C infrastructure already exists; avoid where 5V-only operation and tight RTOTAL tolerance are mandatory |
| MCP41050-I/P | SPITM interface, single-channel, 257-tap resolution, 50kΩ, ±20% RTOTAL, 2.7–5.5V supply | Wider VCC range enables 3.3V systems; SPI requires more GPIOs than 3-wire XDCP protocol | Select for 3.3V designs or when SPI is preferred; verify timing compatibility with host MCU's SPI peripheral |
Compared with AD5243BRMZ50 and MCP41050-I/P, the X9315UMT1 offers simpler 3-wire control, guaranteed 5V operation, and superior ratiometric temperature stability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, single-channel, high-stability analog trimming in industrial 5V systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the X9315UMT1?
The X9315UMT1 is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 2 of FN8179 Rev. 2.00, where X9315UMI, X9315UMIT1, X9315UMIZ, and X9315UMIZT1 variants are explicitly listed with -40°C to +85°C specification. As X9315UMT1 shares the same MSOP-8 package and 50kΩ resistance value, it inherits this industrial-grade thermal rating.
Does the X9315UMT1 support 3.3V operation?
No, the X9315UMT1 does not support 3.3V operation. Per the Recommended Operating Conditions on page 6 of FN8179 Rev. 2.00, the X9315 (non-"-2.7" suffix) variant has a VCC limit of 5V ±10%, i.e., 4.5V to 5.5V. The "-2.7" suffix variants (e.g., X9315UMZ-2.7) are the only versions specified for 2.7V–5.5V operation. X9315UMT1 lacks this suffix and is strictly a 5V device.
How is wiper position stored and recalled in the X9315UMT1?
Wiper position is stored in nonvolatile EEPROM memory when CS transitions HIGH while INC is held HIGH. Upon power-up, the X9315UMT1 automatically recalls the last stored value and sets the wiper to that tap position. This behavior is documented in the Principles of Operation section (page 4) and confirmed in the Mode Selection table (page 5), where "Store wiper position to nonvolatile memory" is triggered by CS HIGH + INC HIGH.
What is the maximum allowable voltage across RH/VH and RL/VL terminals of the X9315UMT1?
The maximum differential voltage ΔV = |VH – VL| is 5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 6 of FN8179 Rev. 2.00. Additionally, VH and VL must each remain within 0V to VCC (5V), and VCC must always be ≥ VH, VL, and VW. Exceeding 5V across the end terminals risks permanent damage to the resistor array.
Is the X9315UMT1 pin-compatible with other X9315 variants in MSOP-8 packages?
Yes, the X9315UMT1 is pin-compatible with all other X9315 variants offered in the 8-lead MSOP package (e.g., X9315WMZT1, X9315UMIZT1), as confirmed by the unified Pin Configuration diagram on page 4 and identical pin descriptions across ordering entries. All share the same pinout: VCC, CS, INC, U/D, RH/VH, VSS, RL/VL, RW/VW - enabling direct PCB footprint reuse across resistance values and temperature grades.
