Product details
Overview
X9315WSI-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 2.7V to 5.5V single-supply operation. It functions as a three-terminal voltage divider or two-terminal variable resistor in precision analog trimming applications requiring temperature-stable resistance and power-up repeatability.
For engineers reviewing the X9315WSI-2.7 datasheet, X9315WSI-2.7 pinout, X9315WSI-2.7 application, or X9315WSI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, 10kΩ end-to-end resistance, 3-wire serial interface timing (tCYC = 4µs), wiper resistance of 400–1000Ω at 2.7V, and ±1 MI absolute linearity specification.
Technical Context
The X9315WSI-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 follows make-before-break switching, preventing open-circuit transients during position changes.
Nonvolatile memory stores the last wiper position upon CS↑ with INC↑, enabling automatic restoration at power-up. The device operates in active mode (ICC1 ≤ 80µA) or standby (ISB ≤ 5µA), with all control inputs (CS, U/D, INC) compatible with CMOS logic levels referenced to VCC.
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 resolution | 32 taps (31 segments) - enables 3.125% step granularity for fine analog tuning |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports battery-powered and mixed-voltage systems without level-shifting |
| Active supply current | 80µA max - enables low-power trimming in always-on sensor or bias circuits |
| Standby current | 5µA max - minimizes quiescent drain during system sleep modes |
| Absolute linearity error | ±1 MI (minimum increment) - ensures predictable voltage division across full tap range |
| Temperature coefficient | ±300 ppm/°C - maintains resistance stability over industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (M8.15E), body width 3.90 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; powers internal logic and resistor array; must be ≥ VH, VL, VW |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal currents; establishes 0V reference for RH/VH and RL/VL terminals |
| RH/VH | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage ranges from VSS to VCC; not polarity-fixed relative to wiper |
| RL/VL | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage ranges from VSS to VCC; directionality determined by U/D state |
| RW/VW | Wiper output | Movable tap point; delivers interpolated voltage between RH/VH and RL/VL; series resistance 400–1000Ω at 2.7V |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable; initiates wiper movement when LOW; triggers nonvolatile store on rising edge with INC HIGH |
| U/D | Direction control | Logic level sets wiper increment/decrement direction during INC transitions; may change dynamically while CS is LOW |
| INC | Increment clock | Negative-edge-triggered; advances wiper one position per valid edge; HIGH during CS↑ enables store operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last position for 100 years; eliminates need for external EEPROM or MCU initialization code at power-up |
| Make-before-break switching | Prevents open-circuit condition during wiper transitions; avoids signal dropout in critical analog paths |
| Temperature-compensated array | ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC ensures stable voltage division ratio across -40°C to +85°C |
| Low-power operation | 80µA active / 5µA standby enables use in energy-constrained portable or remote-sensor designs |
| 3-wire serial interface | Requires only CS, U/D, and INC signals - no clock or data lines needed; simplifies MCU GPIO usage |
Applications
| Audio Signal Level Control | Laser Diode Bias Adjustment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Programmable gain setting in headphone amplifier feedback networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal variable resistor configuring op-amp closed-loop gain; wiper position set once at factory and retained across power cycles.

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 | I²C interface, dual-channel, 256-tap resolution, 10kΩ, ±30% R tolerance | Requires I²C master; higher resolution but looser end-to-end tolerance affects absolute voltage accuracy | Preferred when dual independent pots or I²C bus integration is required; not drop-in due to different protocol and pinout |
| MCP41010-I/P | SPI interface, single-channel, 257-tap resolution, 10kΩ, ±20% R tolerance, 5V-only supply | Needs SPI clock and data lines; lacks 2.7V operation and nonvolatile store on power-up | Chosen for SPI-based systems where external EEPROM handles wiper retention; incompatible with 2.7V-only supplies |
Compared with AD5243BRMZ10 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9315WSI-2.7 offers unique advantages in minimal GPIO count (3-wire), guaranteed power-up repeatability without firmware intervention, and true 2.7V operation-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-pin-count industrial trimming where analog precision and supply flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the X9315WSI-2.7?
The X9315WSI-2.7 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 2 of FN8179 Rev.2.00. This range applies specifically to the X9315WSI-2.7 variant, distinguishing it from commercial-grade versions limited to 0°C–70°C. The device maintains specified electrical performance-including ±20% end-to-end resistance tolerance and ±1 MI linearity-across this full range.
Does the X9315WSI-2.7 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9315WSI-2.7 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory with 100-year data retention, as specified in the Endurance and Data Retention table on page 7 of FN8179 Rev.2.00. Upon power-up, the stored value is automatically recalled to the wiper, ensuring repeatable analog settings without MCU initialization. This behavior is intrinsic to the X9315WSI-2.7 and requires no external components.
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9315WSI-2.7?
The X9315WSI-2.7 has a maximum wiper current (IW) rating of ±3.75mA, as stated under Recommended Operating Conditions on page 6 of FN8179 Rev.2.00. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage to the internal wiper switch. This rating is independent of supply voltage and applies across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Can the X9315WSI-2.7 operate from a 2.7V supply only?
Yes, the X9315WSI-2.7 is explicitly specified for 2.7V to 5.5V operation, per the VCC LIMITS column in the Ordering Information table (page 3). Unlike standard X9315 variants rated for 5V ±10%, the "-2.7" suffix denotes guaranteed functionality down to 2.7V, including full 32-tap resolution, nonvolatile store, and 5µA standby current-all validated per datasheet test conditions.
How does the X9315WSI-2.7 differ from the X9315WSZ-2.7?
The X9315WSI-2.7 uses a standard SOIC package (M8.15E) with SnPb-compatible matte tin plating, while the X9315WSZ-2.7 uses a Pb-free SOIC package (M8.15) with 100% matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 finish). Both share identical electrical specifications, pinout, and temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), but the X9315WSI-2.7 is intended for legacy assembly processes, whereas X9315WSZ-2.7 complies fully with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
