Product details
Overview
X9315WMIT2 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 at 5V ±10%, delivers 10kΩ end-to-end resistance, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and functions as a three-terminal voltage divider or two-terminal variable resistor in analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the X9315WMIT2 datasheet, X9315WMIT2 pinout, X9315WMIT2 application, or X9315WMIT2 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin roles, real-world use cases in precision trimming and programmable gain control, and validated alternative parts for design continuity-no inference, no generic claims.
Technical Context
The X9315WMIT2 integrates a 5-bit up/down counter, nonvolatile EEPROM for wiper position retention, and a decoder-driven switching network across 31 resistive elements. Wiper movement is edge-triggered via INC input with direction controlled by U/D logic level, and position storage occurs on CS↑ while INC = HIGH.
It uses CMOS technology with active current ≤80µA at VCC = 5V, standby current ≤5µA, and features make-before-break switching during tap transitions. Terminal voltages are rail-to-rail (0 to VCC), wiper resistance is 200Ω (typ.) at 5V, and absolute linearity error is ±1 MI (minimum increment).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end resistance | 10kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog adjustment range and load interaction in voltage divider configurations |
| Wiper tap count | 32 positions - enables 31-step resolution for fine-grained analog parameter tuning |
| Supply voltage | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard 5V logic and analog rails; not rated for 2.7V operation |
| Nonvolatile storage | 100-year data retention, 100,000 write cycles - ensures power-up repeatability without external memory or initialization firmware |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor controls and sensor interfaces |
| Interface protocol | 3-wire asynchronous (CS/U/D/INC) - requires no clock line or address decoding; minimal GPIO overhead for microcontroller integration |
| Wiper resistance | 200Ω (typ.) at VCC = 5V - impacts loading error in high-impedance feedback paths and must be factored into gain accuracy calculations |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (M8.118), body dimensions 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm, RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply input | Must be ≥ VH, VL, VW; powers internal logic and resistor array; 5V ±10% nominal |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive analog operation |
| RH/VH | High terminal of resistor array | Fixed end of potentiometer; connects to maximum potential node (e.g., VCC or signal source) |
| RL/VL | Low terminal of resistor array | Fixed end of potentiometer; connects to minimum potential node (e.g., VSS or signal sink) |
| RW/VW | Wiper output terminal | Movable contact point; delivers tapped voltage/current; series resistance ≈200Ω affects loading |
| CS | Chip select input | Active-low enable; initiates wiper movement when LOW; triggers nonvolatile store on rising edge with INC = HIGH |
| U/D | Direction control input | Defines wiper motion direction: HIGH = increment, LOW = decrement; sampled synchronously with INC edge |
| INC | Increment clock input | Negative-edge triggered; advances or retreats wiper one step per valid transition; timing tCYC ≥4µs required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Solid-state construction | Eliminates mechanical wear, vibration sensitivity, and contact bounce-enables >100,000 adjustments over product lifetime |
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last-set position across power cycles; eliminates boot-time calibration routines in embedded systems |
| Temperature-compensated array | ±300 ppm/°C RTOTAL drift and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric coefficient ensure stable voltage division over –40°C to +85°C |
| Low-power CMOS operation | 80µA active current and 5µA standby current support battery-powered or energy-constrained applications |
| Rail-to-rail terminal voltage | Supports VH/VL inputs from 0V to VCC, enabling direct interfacing with op-amp rails and unbuffered DAC outputs |
Applications
| Audio Volume Control | Programmable Gain Amplifier |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Digital volume adjustment in consumer audio equipment using push-button or MCU-based UI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Three-terminal potentiometer replacing mechanical trimmer; wiper position sets attenuation ratio between input and output stages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5241BRMZ10 | I²C interface, 10kΩ, 256 taps, ±30% RTOL, 2.7–5.5V supply | Higher resolution but lacks true nonvolatile store (requires external EEPROM or periodic refresh) | Choose for I²C bus compatibility and finer step resolution where EEPROM management is acceptable |
| MCP41010-I/P | SPIM interface, 10kΩ, 257 taps, ±20% RTOL, 2.7–5.5V supply, volatile wiper register | No nonvolatile memory; wiper resets to mid-scale on power-up unless host reloads value | Choose for SPI-native systems needing fast updates and lower cost, accepting need for host-initiated restore |
Compared with X9315WMIT2, AD5241BRMZ10 offers higher resolution and I²C simplicity but requires external nonvolatile storage for power-loss immunity, while MCP41010-I/P delivers faster SPI updates and broader voltage range but mandates host firmware intervention to retain settings across power cycles.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range for the X9315WMIT2?
The X9315WMIT2 is specified for 5V ±10% operation (4.5V to 5.5V). It is not rated for 2.7V operation-the X9315WMIT2 variant does not include the "-2.7" suffix found in other family members like X9315WMI-2.7T2. Applying voltages outside 4.5–5.5V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and may cause functional failure or reduced reliability of the X9315WMIT2.
Does the X9315WMIT2 retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes, the X9315WMIT2 stores the last wiper position in nonvolatile EEPROM and automatically recalls it on power-up. This behavior is intrinsic to the device architecture and requires no external components or host intervention. The stored value persists for 100 years and withstands 100,000 write cycles, ensuring reliable repeatability across the lifetime of systems using the X9315WMIT2.
What package type is used for the X9315WMIT2?
The X9315WMIT2 uses an 8-lead MSOP package (JEDEC MO-187AA, Intersil drawing M8.118), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm. It is RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, and features gull-wing leads compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles. This package is distinct from SOIC or PDIP variants in the X9315 family.
Can the X9315WMIT2 be used as a two-terminal variable resistor?
Yes, the X9315WMIT2 can operate as a two-terminal variable resistor by connecting either RH/VH or RL/VL to the same node as RW/VW, leaving the unused terminal open or grounded depending on configuration. In this mode, resistance varies from near-zero (wiper at connected end) to full RTOTAL (wiper at opposite end), enabling current-limiting or bias-setting functions in the X9315WMIT2's analog signal path.
What is the wiper resistance specification for the X9315WMIT2?
The X9315WMIT2 has a typical wiper resistance (RW) of 200Ω at VCC = 5V, with a maximum of 400Ω. This series resistance directly impacts accuracy in high-impedance applications-for example, in op-amp feedback networks, it introduces gain error proportional to RW/Rf. Designers must account for this 200Ω (typ.) value when calculating total effective resistance in circuits using the X9315WMIT2.
