Product details
Overview
X9317WM8-2.7T1 from Renesas Electronics is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 100 wiper tap points, nonvolatile wiper position storage, and 10 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 analog trimming in voltage divider or variable resistor configurations.
For engineers reviewing the X9317WM8-2.7T1 datasheet, X9317WM8-2.7T1 pinout, X9317WM8-2.7T1 application, or X9317WM8-2.7T1 equivalent, this device serves as a solid-state replacement for mechanical potentiometers in precision DC bias adjustment, laser diode control, and LCD voltage regulation where power-up repeatability and long-term stability are required.
Technical Context
The X9317WM8-2.7T1 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 upon CS↑/INC↑.
It supports three-terminal potentiometer (voltage divider) and two-terminal variable resistor (current control) topologies. Temperature-compensated design delivers ±20% RTOTAL tolerance and ±300 ppm/°C total resistance TC, while ratiometric TC remains within ±20 ppm/°C for stable voltage division across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end Resistance | 10 kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog range and sets maximum power dissipation limit (10 mW) |
| 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 Current | <5 µA - ensures negligible quiescent drain in battery-powered or always-on bias circuits |
| Wiper Resolution | 1% (100 taps) - provides 9.9 mV step resolution across 1 V span, sufficient for fine gain/offset trim |
| Nonvolatile Storage | 100 years data retention, 100,000 write cycles - guarantees factory-set or user-trimmed values survive power cycling and field operation |
| Interface Type | 3-wire up/down (CS/U/D/INC) - eliminates need for clock or data lines; simplifies MCU GPIO usage |
| Wiper Resistance | 200 Ω typical at 5 V, 400 Ω typical at 2.7 V - contributes predictable series impedance in signal paths |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded systems including industrial HMI and instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (M8.118), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, body dimensions 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INC) | Increment clock input | Negative-edge-triggered; toggling moves wiper up/down per U/D state; controls timing-critical tap transitions (tCYC = 2 µs min) |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Logic level determines wiper movement direction during INC edge; allows bidirectional adjustment without reinitialization |
| 3 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to higher potential node in voltage divider; not polarity-restricted |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into wiper output |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper output | Movable terminal; delivers tapped voltage/current; series resistance (200–1000 Ω) affects loading in high-impedance circuits |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to lower potential node (e.g., ground or negative rail); defines bottom of resistive ladder |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; initiates communication and triggers nonvolatile store when raised high with INC high |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 2.7–5.5 V power input; powers internal logic and resistor array; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper position storage | Recalls last set tap on power-up - eliminates manual recalibration and enables deterministic system startup |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300 ppm/°C absolute TC, ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC - maintains voltage division accuracy over temperature without external compensation |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit glitches during tap transitions - critical for stable bias in op-amp feedback or regulator error amplifiers |
| Low-power CMOS architecture | <5 µA standby current, 80 µA active increment current - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and sensor modules |
| Three-terminal and two-terminal configuration support | Enables both voltage divider (e.g., LCD bias) and variable resistor (e.g., laser diode current limit) use cases with same device |
| RoHS-compliant MSOP package | 8-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm footprint - offers compact layout, thermal performance (θJA = 145°C/W), and compatibility with standard SMT assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5170BRMZ-10 | I²C interface, 256-tap resolution, 10 kΩ, 2.7–5.5 V; no nonvolatile store in base version (requires external EEPROM) | Requires I²C master and external memory for persistent settings; better resolution but higher interface complexity | Select when I²C infrastructure exists and finer 0.4% steps are needed; avoid if MCU GPIO count is constrained |
| MCP41010-I/P | SPITM interface, 256-tap resolution, 10 kΩ, 2.7–5.5 V; built-in nonvolatile memory with 200k endurance | Uses SPI clock/data lines instead of up/down; faster update rate (10 MHz clock vs. 500 kHz INC toggle) | Choose for higher-speed trimming or when SPI peripherals are available; less suitable for minimal-GPIO designs |
Compared with AD5170BRMZ-10 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9317WM8-2.7T1 trades resolution and interface speed for ultra-low pin count, deterministic power-up behavior, and proven long-term reliability in commercial-temperature bias applications - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained analog trimming where simplicity and repeatability outweigh raw resolution.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the X9317WM8-2.7T1?
The X9317WM8-2.7T1 operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V systems without external regulation. This range is explicitly specified in the "Potentiometer Specifications" table on page 4 of the FN8183 datasheet, and the "-2.7" suffix in the part number denotes this extended low-voltage capability versus the standard 4.5–5.5 V variant.
Does the X9317WM8-2.7T1 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9317WM8-2.7T1 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it on power-up. The datasheet confirms 100-year data retention and 100,000 write cycles, with store triggered by raising CS high while INC is high - a feature validated in the "Principles of Operation" section on page 8.
What package type does the X9317WM8-2.7T1 use?
The X9317WM8-2.7T1 uses an 8-lead MSOP package (package drawing M8.118), as confirmed in the "Ordering Information" table on page 2 of FN8183. Its dimensions are 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm, with lead pitch of 0.65 mm and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
How many wiper tap positions does the X9317WM8-2.7T1 provide?
The X9317WM8-2.7T1 provides exactly 100 wiper tap positions, implemented via a 99-resistor-element array with endpoints. This is stated in the device description on page 1 and verified in Figure 1's block diagram and the "Potentiometer Specifications" table, where resolution is defined as 1%.
Can the X9317WM8-2.7T1 be used as a two-terminal variable resistor?
Yes, the X9317WM8-2.7T1 supports two-terminal operation by connecting either RH or RL to RW (wiper), effectively using only part of the resistor array as a programmable current-limiting element. This configuration is illustrated in Figure 4 ("Two Terminal Variable Resistor") and referenced in the Applications section on page 1.
