Product details
Overview
X9317US8I from Renesas Electronics is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) implementing a 99-element resistor array with 100 wiper tap positions, nonvolatile wiper position storage, and 3-wire up/down serial interface. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers ±20% end-to-end resistance tolerance, and supports voltage divider or variable resistor configurations in precision analog trimming applications.
For engineers reviewing the X9317US8I datasheet, X9317US8I pinout, X9317US8I application, or X9317US8I equivalent, this device is selected for DC bias adjustment, laser diode bias control, and voltage regulator output tuning where power-up repeatability, low standby current (<5 µA), and temperature-compensated linearity are required.
Technical Context
The X9317US8I integrates a 7-bit up/down counter, decoder, and nonvolatile memory to control wiper position across 100 discrete taps. Its resistor array uses temperature-compensated elements yielding ±300 ppm/°C total resistance TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC.
Wiper movement follows make-before-break switching, with 1 µs typical wiper response time (tIW) and 2 µs minimum INC cycle time (tCYC). The device enters standby mode when CS is high, drawing ≤5 µA supply current while retaining stored wiper position for 100 years.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end Resistance | 50 kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog range and load interaction in voltage divider or current-limiting configurations |
| Wiper Tap Count | 100 positions - enables 1% resolution per step for fine-grained analog calibration |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across industrial and commercial rails without level-shifting |
| Standby Current | <5 µA - minimizes system power budget during idle periods without losing wiper state |
| Nonvolatile Endurance | 100,000 data changes per bit - ensures long-term reliability in field-adjustable systems requiring frequent recalibration |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including automotive cabin and industrial control modules |
| Wiper Resistance | 200 Ω typical at 5 V - limits signal path error and thermal noise in precision gain/offset trim circuits |
| Relative Linearity Error | ±0.2 MI - maintains monotonicity and predictable step-size accuracy across full travel for closed-loop feedback |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, narrow-body plastic package with 1.27 mm lead pitch and –40°C to +85°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INC) | Increment clock input | Negative-edge-triggered control signal; toggling moves wiper up/down based on U/D state |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Logic level selects wiper increment (+) or decrement (–) on each INC edge |
| 3 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to higher potential in voltage divider configuration |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and external bias networks |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper terminal | Movable contact point; output node for adjustable voltage or current; 200 Ω typical series resistance |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to lower potential (e.g., ground) in voltage divider |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; stores wiper position to nonvolatile memory when deasserted with INC high |
| 8 (VCC) | Power supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply rail; powers logic, memory, and resistor array; requires local decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last-set position across power cycles for repeatable startup behavior without host reinitialization |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300 ppm/°C total resistance TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC ensure stable voltage division over industrial temperature range |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap transitions, avoiding glitches in sensitive amplifier feedback paths |
| Low-power CMOS architecture | ≤5 µA standby current and 80 µA active current enable battery-powered or energy-constrained analog subsystems |
| Three-terminal potentiometer or two-terminal rheostat mode | Flexible connection options support both voltage divider (RH–RW–RL) and current-setting (RW–RL or RW–RH) topologies |
| RoHS-compliant packaging | 8-lead SOIC (M8.15E) meets lead-free soldering requirements and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5204BRUZ10 | Quad-channel, 10 kΩ, SPI interface, 256-tap resolution; no nonvolatile storage per channel | Requires external microcontroller to reload settings on power-up; better suited for multi-channel simultaneous adjustment | Select when multiple independent potentiometers are needed and host firmware can manage initialization |
| MCP41050-I/P | Single-channel, 50 kΩ, SPI interface, volatile wiper register only; no EEPROM storage | Needs continuous host communication to retain position; lacks power-cycle persistence | Choose for cost-sensitive, short-duration trimming where EEPROM wear-out or startup delay is unacceptable |
Compared with AD5204BRUZ10 and MCP41050-I/P, the X9317US8I uniquely combines single-channel simplicity, nonvolatile retention, 3-wire minimal interface, and industrial temperature rating-making it optimal for standalone, self-initializing analog calibration in embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact end-to-end resistance value and tolerance for X9317US8I?
The X9317US8I has a nominal end-to-end resistance (RTOTAL) of 50 kΩ with a tolerance of ±20%, as specified in the Ordering Information table on page 2 of the FN8183 Rev.10.01 datasheet. This value is confirmed for the "US8" suffix variant and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
Does X9317US8I retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9317US8I stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it on power-up. This feature is intrinsic to the device architecture and requires no external components or host intervention-enabling repeatable startup behavior in systems like voltage regulators and laser drivers.
What package type and footprint does X9317US8I use?
The X9317US8I uses an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package per JEDEC MS-012, designated M8.15E in Renesas documentation. It features 1.27 mm lead pitch, 3.90 mm body width, and is RoHS-compliant with matte tin plating compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free reflow processes.
How does the 3-wire interface of X9317US8I differ from SPI or I²C protocols?
The X9317US8I uses a dedicated 3-wire up/down interface (CS, U/D, INC) rather than SPI or I²C. It requires no clock polarity/phase configuration or address decoding-only edge-triggered INC pulses and a direction bit. This simplifies firmware implementation and reduces GPIO overhead compared to byte-oriented serial protocols.
Can X9317US8I operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the X9317US8I supports VCC from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, making it fully compatible with standard 3.3 V logic and supply rails. All electrical specifications-including 5 µA standby current, 100 kΩ wiper impedance, and 1 µs wiper response-are guaranteed across this full voltage range.
