Product details
Overview
X9317US8I-2.7 from Renesas Electronics is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 100 wiper tap points, nonvolatile wiper position storage, and 50 kΩ end-to-end resistance. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, consumes <5 µA standby current, and uses a 3-wire up/down serial interface for precise voltage or current trimming in analog signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the X9317US8I-2.7 datasheet, X9317US8I-2.7 pinout, X9317US8I-2.7 application, or X9317US8I-2.7 equivalent, this device serves as a solid-state replacement for mechanical potentiometers in precision biasing, gain/offset adjustment, and regulator feedback networks where power-up repeatability and long-term stability are required.
Technical Context
The X9317US8I-2.7 implements a 99-element resistor array with make-before-break wiper switching, enabling glitch-free tap transitions. Its 7-bit counter drives a decoder that selects one of 100 discrete wiper positions, with position stored in nonvolatile memory and recalled automatically at power-up.
Control is executed via three dedicated digital inputs: CS (chip select), U/D (direction), and INC (edge-triggered increment). The device supports both three-terminal potentiometer (voltage divider) and two-terminal variable resistor (current control) configurations, with RH, RL, and RW terminals electrically isolated from logic supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end resistance (RTOTAL) | 50 kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog range and sets minimum load impedance for stable voltage division |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting |
| Standby supply current | <5 µA - allows integration into battery-powered or low-power always-on circuits without significant quiescent drain |
| Wiper resistance (RW) | 400 Ω (typ.) at 2.7 V - contributes predictable series resistance in wiper path, critical for accuracy in current-sense or feedback applications |
| Resolution | 1% (1/99 step) - provides 100 discrete, monotonic tap positions for fine-grained analog tuning |
| Absolute linearity error | ±1 MI (Minimum Increment) - ensures maximum deviation of ≤1% of full-scale output across entire wiper range |
| Nonvolatile endurance | 100,000 data changes per bit - guarantees reliable field recalibration over product lifetime without wear-out failure |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (RoHS-compliant, M8.15E drawing), -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature 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 determines wiper movement direction during each INC transition |
| 3 - RH | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to higher potential node in voltage divider configuration |
| 4 - VSS | Ground reference | Digital and analog ground return; must be low-impedance for stable wiper operation |
| 5 - RW | Wiper terminal | Movable contact point; output node whose voltage or resistance varies with tap position |
| 6 - RL | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to lower potential node (e.g., ground or reference) |
| 7 - CS | Chip select input | Active-low enable; HIGH initiates nonvolatile store when INC is also HIGH |
| 8 - VCC | Power supply | 2.7–5.5 V digital/analog supply; powers logic, memory, and resistor array simultaneously |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper position storage | Retains last-set tap position across power cycles; eliminates need for external EEPROM or MCU initialization code |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300 ppm/°C total resistance drift - maintains stable RTOTAL over industrial temperature range |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap transitions; avoids glitches in sensitive amplifier feedback paths |
| Low-noise performance | -120 dBV (ref. 1 kHz) - suitable for audio bias, sensor conditioning, and precision reference trimming |
| Ratiometric temperature coefficient | ±20 ppm/°C - ensures stable voltage division ratio independent of temperature-induced resistance drift |
Applications
| LCD Bias Control | Laser Diode Bias Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adjusting VCOM or gamma reference voltages in TFT-LCD driver ICs to compensate for panel variation and aging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Three-terminal potentiometer providing programmable DC bias voltage to LCD column drivers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5175BRMZ-50 | I²C interface, 256-tap resolution, 50 kΩ, 2.7–5.5 V, ±8% RTOTAL tolerance | Requires I²C host controller; tighter resistance tolerance but no auto-recall on power-up | Choose for systems with existing I²C infrastructure and need for finer resolution; requires explicit restore command after power cycle |
| MCP45HV51-503 | Up/down interface, 256-tap resolution, 50 kΩ, 4.5–20 V supply, ±20% RTOTAL, volatile wiper | Higher voltage rating; no nonvolatile storage - wiper resets to mid-scale on power-up | Choose for high-voltage analog circuits (>5.5 V) where volatile operation is acceptable and external MCU handles initialization |
Compared with AD5175BRMZ-50 and MCP45HV51-503, the X9317US8I-2.7 uniquely combines 3-wire simplicity, guaranteed power-up repeatability via nonvolatile recall, and industrial-temperature-rated 50 kΩ resistance - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, self-initializing analog trim applications without I²C or high-voltage requirements.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the X9317US8I-2.7?
The X9317US8I-2.7 is rated for -40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (Page 2) and applies to all electrical specifications unless otherwise noted. The device maintains specified performance-including wiper resistance, linearity, and nonvolatile memory retention-across this full span.
Does the X9317US8I-2.7 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9317US8I-2.7 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it on power-up. This behavior is inherent to the device architecture and requires no external components or MCU intervention. Data retention is guaranteed for 100 years under normal operating conditions.
Can the X9317US8I-2.7 be used in a two-terminal variable resistor configuration?
Yes, the X9317US8I-2.7 supports two-terminal operation by connecting either RH or RL to RW and using the remaining terminal plus RW as the variable resistance pair. This configuration is explicitly validated in Figure 4 ("Two Terminal Variable Resistor") and referenced in the Applications section for current control tasks like laser diode biasing.
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9317US8I-2.7 at 2.7 V supply?
At VCC = 2.7 V, the maximum wiper current (IW) is ±4.4 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Page 4). Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage to the internal wiper switches. For safe operation, ensure the voltage across RH–RL does not exceed the product of IW and RTOTAL (i.e., ≤220 mV).
How does the X9317US8I-2.7 differ from the standard X9317US8Z-2.7 variant?
The X9317US8I-2.7 features an industrial-grade temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), while the X9317US8Z-2.7 is commercial-grade (0°C to +70°C). Both share identical electrical specs, pinout, package (8-lead SOIC), and functionality-but only the "I" suffix guarantees full-spec operation across the extended industrial range.
