Product details
Overview
X9317US8Z-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 in standby, and uses a 3-wire up/down serial interface for voltage divider or variable resistor applications in precision analog trimming.
For engineers reviewing the X9317US8Z-2.7 datasheet, X9317US8Z-2.7 pinout, X9317US8Z-2.7 application, or X9317US8Z-2.7 equivalent, this device supports DC bias adjustment, laser diode bias control, gain/offset trim, and voltage regulator output control with temperature-compensated linearity and ratiometric stability.
Technical Context
The X9317US8Z-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 wiper positions, with nonvolatile memory storing the last position for automatic recall at power-up.
Control logic responds to CS (chip select), U/D (direction), and edge-triggered INC inputs. The device enters low-power standby when CS is high and supports store-on-CS-high-with-INC-high operation, ensuring deterministic initialization without external firmware intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end Resistance | 50 kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog range for voltage division or current limiting |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifting |
| Wiper Tap Resolution | 100 positions (0–99) - provides 1% step resolution for fine analog adjustment |
| Standby Current | <5 µA - minimizes quiescent power in battery-powered or always-on circuits |
| Nonvolatile Storage | 100-year data retention, 100,000 write cycles - eliminates need for external EEPROM or MCU backup |
| Linearity Error | ±1% absolute, ±0.2% relative - ensures predictable transfer function across temperature and supply |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±300 ppm/°C total resistance, ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric - maintains stable voltage division over -40°C to +70°C |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INC) | Increment clock input | Negative-edge-triggered control signal; toggling moves wiper up/down per U/D state |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Logic level sets wiper movement direction during INC transitions |
| 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 analog connections |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper terminal | Movable contact point; series resistance ≤400 Ω at 2.7 V enables low-distortion signal routing |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to lower potential or ground in voltage divider |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; HIGH initiates nonvolatile store if INC is also HIGH |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Power input for CMOS logic and resistor array; supports 2.7–5.5 V operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper position storage | Eliminates boot-time calibration; restores last-trimmed value automatically after power cycle |
| 3-wire serial up/down interface | Requires only three GPIOs-no SPI/I²C peripheral needed-reducing MCU resource usage |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap changes, critical for stable feedback loops |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC ensures consistent voltage division across operating temperature |
| Low-power CMOS design | Sub-5 µA standby current extends battery life in portable instrumentation and sensor nodes |

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 | 256-tap I²C interface, 50 kΩ, ±20% tolerance, 100-year retention, but requires I²C bus and higher VCC min (2.7 V same) | Supports multi-device addressing and faster digital updates; less suitable for minimal-GPIO microcontrollers | Select when I²C infrastructure exists and higher resolution (0.4% step) is required over 3-wire simplicity |
| MCP45HV51-503 | 128-tap SPI interface, 50 kΩ, ±20% tolerance, 2.5–5.5 V supply, no nonvolatile store on power-up (requires init command) | Needs MCU firmware initialization at boot; lacks automatic recall, increasing system complexity | Choose when SPI is preferred and external memory or startup sequence can manage wiper restore |
Compared with AD5175BRMZ-50 and MCP45HV51-503, the X9317US8Z-2.7 delivers deterministic power-on behavior without firmware dependency, minimal GPIO count, and guaranteed wiper recall-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-pin-count embedded systems requiring hands-off analog calibration.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the X9317US8Z-2.7?
The X9317US8Z-2.7 operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems without external regulation. This range is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Potentiometer Specifications tables of the FN8183 datasheet, and applies across its 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.
Does the X9317US8Z-2.7 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9317US8Z-2.7 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory with 100-year data retention and supports automatic recall at power-up. This behavior is inherent to the device architecture and requires no external components or MCU intervention-confirmed in the "Principles of Operation" and "Power-up and Down Requirements" sections of the datasheet.
How many wiper positions does the X9317US8Z-2.7 support?
The X9317US8Z-2.7 supports exactly 100 discrete wiper tap positions (0 through 99), corresponding to a 99-resistor-element array. This is stated in the device description, block diagram caption, and "Potentiometer Specifications" table, and defines its 1% step resolution for analog adjustment tasks.
What package type is used for the X9317US8Z-2.7?
The X9317US8Z-2.7 uses an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012, drawing M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, with dimensions 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm × 1.75 mm max. This is confirmed in the "Ordering Information" table on page 2 and the "Package Outline Drawings" section on page 13 of FN8183 Rev.10.01.
Can the X9317US8Z-2.7 be used as a two-terminal variable resistor?
Yes, the X9317US8Z-2.7 can operate as a two-terminal variable resistor by connecting either RH or RL to RW and using the remaining terminal with RW. The datasheet explicitly states this capability in the first paragraph and illustrates it in Figure 4 ("Two Terminal Variable Resistor; Variable Current"), confirming full functionality in both 2-terminal and 3-terminal configurations.
