Product details
Overview
X9315WSI-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, offers 10kΩ end-to-end resistance, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in an 8-lead SOIC package. It functions as a solid-state replacement for mechanical potentiometers in precision analog trimming applications.
For engineers reviewing the X9315WSI-2.7T1 datasheet, X9315WSI-2.7T1 pinout, X9315WSI-2.7T1 application, or X9315WSI-2.7T1 equivalent, this device delivers low-power operation (80µA active, 5µA standby), ±20% RTOTAL tolerance, temperature-compensated linearity, and EEPROM-based power-up recall-key selection criteria for embedded analog control systems requiring long-term setting retention without external memory.
Technical Context
The X9315WSI-2.7T1 integrates a 5-bit up/down counter, nonvolatile memory, and a 31-resistor ladder with make-before-break wiper switching. Its control logic responds to CS-select, U/D direction, and negative-edge-triggered INC signals to increment or decrement wiper position, with store-on-CS↑/INC↑ enabling EEPROM write.
It features ratiometric temperature coefficient of ±20 ppm/°C and absolute linearity error of ±1 MI (minimum increment), ensuring stable voltage-divider performance across –40°C to +85°C. Wiper resistance is 400–1000Ω at VCC = 2.7V, and terminal voltage range is 0 to VCC-enabling direct connection to rail-referenced analog circuits without level-shifting.
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 or variable resistor configurations |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V systems without external regulators |
| Wiper positions | 32 discrete taps - provides 31-step resolution for fine-grained analog parameter control |
| Nonvolatile storage | 100-year data retention, 100,000 write cycles - eliminates need for battery-backed RAM or external EEPROM in set-and-forget applications |
| Active supply current | 80µA max at VCC = 2.7V - supports low-power sensor calibration and portable instrumentation designs |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualifies for industrial and automotive under-hood environments where thermal stability is critical |
| Interface protocol | 3-wire asynchronous (CS/U/D/INC) - requires no clock signal or firmware overhead beyond simple GPIO toggling |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead narrow-body SOIC (M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply input | Must be ≥ VH, VL, VW; powers internal logic and resistor array; supports 2.7V–5.5V operation |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| RH/VH | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage range 0 to VCC; serves as top rail in voltage divider mode |
| RL/VL | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; voltage range 0 to VCC; serves as bottom rail in voltage divider mode |
| RW/VW | Wiper output | Movable tap point; series resistance 400–1000Ω at 2.7V; connects to analog signal path or feedback node |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable; HIGH initiates nonvolatile store when INC is also HIGH; LOW enables wiper movement |
| U/D | Direction control | Logic level sets wiper movement direction (HIGH = increment, LOW = decrement) during INC transitions |
| INC | Increment clock | Negative-edge-triggered; each falling edge moves wiper one position in U/D-defined direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Solid-state potentiometer architecture | Eliminates mechanical wear, contact bounce, and vibration sensitivity-ideal for high-reliability industrial controls |

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% RTOTAL tolerance | Requires I²C master; higher resolution but looser resistance tolerance affects absolute voltage accuracy | Select when dual independent pots or finer granularity outweighs need for nonvolatile recall and tighter RTOTAL spec |
| MCP41010-I/P | SPITM interface, single-channel, 257-tap resolution, 10kΩ, ±20% RTOTAL, volatile wiper register only | No EEPROM; wiper resets to mid-scale on power-up unless host reloads value | Select when SPI-native microcontrollers dominate the BOM and external nonvolatile storage is already present |
Compared with AD5243BRMZ10 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9315WSI-2.7T1 uniquely combines guaranteed power-up recall, 2.7V operation, and ±20% RTOTAL tolerance in a minimal 3-wire interface-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, single-pot industrial systems where EEPROM dependency and interface complexity must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9315WSI-2.7T1?
The X9315WSI-2.7T1 has a maximum wiper current rating of ±3.75mA under recommended operating conditions. This limit ensures safe operation without exceeding the 10mW maximum power rating or causing irreversible resistance drift. Exceeding this current may degrade wiper resistance stability or accelerate wear in the internal switching network. The X9315WSI-2.7T1 wiper resistance ranges from 400Ω to 1000Ω at 2.7V, making it suitable for low-current analog signal paths-not power-level adjustments.
Does the X9315WSI-2.7T1 retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes, the X9315WSI-2.7T1 retains its wiper position after power cycling via on-chip nonvolatile memory. When CS is raised HIGH while INC is held HIGH, the current wiper position is stored and recalled automatically on next power-up. Data retention is rated for 100 years, and the memory withstands 100,000 write cycles-making the X9315WSI-2.7T1 ideal for factory-calibrated systems where settings must persist across maintenance, shipping, and field deployment.
Can the X9315WSI-2.7T1 operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the X9315WSI-2.7T1 is fully specified to operate from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with standard 3.3V logic supplies. At 3.3V, its active current remains ≤80µA, standby current ≤5µA, and wiper resistance falls within the 400–1000Ω range. All timing parameters-including tCYC (4µs minimum) and tIW (1–5µs)-are guaranteed across this voltage range, ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers using simple GPIO control.
What is the temperature coefficient of the X9315WSI-2.7T1's resistor array?
The X9315WSI-2.7T1 exhibits a ratiometric temperature coefficient of ±20 ppm/°C, meaning the ratio of wiper voltage to end-to-end voltage remains highly stable over temperature. Its absolute RTOTAL temperature coefficient is ±300 ppm/°C, but the ratiometric spec is most relevant for voltage-divider applications. This performance is validated across –40°C to +85°C and enables precise analog trimming in thermally varying environments without external compensation-confirming the X9315WSI-2.7T1's suitability for industrial sensor interfaces.
Is the X9315WSI-2.7T1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the X9315WSI-2.7T1 is RoHS compliant and employs 100% matte tin (e3) termination finish. It meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level requirements for Pb-free reflow and is compatible with both SnPb and lead-free soldering processes. The device is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (M8.15E) with no lead content in die attach, molding compound, or plating-fully satisfying EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related global environmental compliance mandates for the X9315WSI-2.7T1.
