Product details
Overview
X9317WM8T1 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 X9317WM8T1 datasheet, X9317WM8T1 pinout, X9317WM8T1 application, or X9317WM8T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10kΩ total resistance, MSOP-8 package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, low 5µA standby current, and nonvolatile recall on power-up - critical for bias control and calibration stability.
Technical Context
The X9317WM8T1 uses a 7-bit up/down counter decoded to select one of 100 wiper positions across a monolithic resistor ladder. Its control logic responds to CS (chip select), U/D (direction), and edge-triggered INC inputs, enabling deterministic wiper movement without microcontroller firmware overhead.
Wiper position is stored in nonvolatile memory upon CS↑ with INC high, ensuring repeatable startup behavior. The device employs make-before-break switching during tap transitions and features temperature-compensated resistive elements with ±300 ppm/°C total resistance drift and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric coefficient - preserving voltage division accuracy under thermal variation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end Resistance | 10 kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog adjustment range and load interaction in voltage divider or current-limiting roles |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct compatibility with 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Wiper Tap Resolution | 100 positions (0–99) - provides 1% step resolution for fine-grained analog tuning |
| Standby Current | <5 µA - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or always-on calibration circuits |
| Nonvolatile Endurance | 100,000 write cycles - supports field recalibration over product lifetime without wear-out risk |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including automotive cabin and industrial PLC modules |
| Wiper Resistance | 200 Ω typical (at 5V) - limits signal path error and thermal noise in high-impedance feedback networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (M8.118), RoHS-compliant, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm body, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INC) | Increment clock input | Negative-edge-triggered control line; toggling moves wiper up/down per U/D state - enables simple GPIO-based adjustment |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Static logic level defining wiper increment (+) or decrement (-) direction during INC transitions |
| 3 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to higher-potential node in voltage divider configuration |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive analog operation |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper output | Movable terminal delivering intermediate voltage/current; series resistance ≤400 Ω affects gain accuracy in op-amp feedback |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or negative rail) in three-terminal use |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; rising edge with INC high initiates nonvolatile store - prevents accidental writes during operation |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power input for logic and analog sections; decoupling required within 1 cm to suppress digital switching noise on RW |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper position storage | Retains last-set tap value across power cycles - eliminates need for external EEPROM or MCU initialization code |
| 3-wire serial interface | Requires only CS, U/D, and INC signals - reduces PCB routing complexity vs. SPI/I²C and avoids protocol stack overhead |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300 ppm/°C absolute TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC - maintains voltage division ratio stability across operating temperature |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap changes - avoids glitches in op-amp feedback or laser diode bias paths |
| Low-power CMOS design | 80 µA active current and <5 µA standby - suitable for energy-constrained sensor nodes and portable instrumentation |

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 | 256-tap I²C interface, 10kΩ, ±30% RTOTAL, 100-year data retention | Requires I²C host; higher resolution but no native up/down interface | Preferred when system already uses I²C and requires finer than 1% adjustment steps |

FAQ
What is the package type and footprint compatibility of the X9317WM8T1?
The X9317WM8T1 uses an 8-lead MSOP package (JEDEC MO-187-AA compliant, drawing M8.118) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, and 0.85 mm height. It shares footprint compatibility with other MSOP-8 devices but is not pin-compatible with SOIC-8 or TSSOP-8 variants of the X9317 family due to different pinouts and thermal pad absence. Always verify land pattern against M8.118 revision 5.
Does the X9317WM8T1 retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes, the X9317WM8T1 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it on power-up. This behavior occurs without external intervention - the device powers up with RW at the last stored tap position. Retention is rated for 100 years under normal operating conditions, making X9317WM8T1 suitable for applications requiring guaranteed repeatability across maintenance intervals or brownout events.
What is the maximum allowable voltage across RH and RL terminals of the X9317WM8T1?
The absolute maximum voltage between RH and RL terminals of the X9317WM8T1 is ±6 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, for reliable operation within datasheet performance limits, the voltage across RH–RL must remain within the VCC supply range (2.7 V to 5.5 V). Exceeding VCC risks violating the VRH/RL specification (0 V to VCC), potentially causing excessive current through internal switches or resistor elements.
Can the X9317WM8T1 be used in a two-terminal variable resistor configuration?
Yes, the X9317WM8T1 supports two-terminal operation by connecting either RH or RL to RW and using the remaining fixed terminal with RW as the variable resistance element. In this mode, resistance varies from near-zero (wiper at connected terminal) to RTOTAL (wiper at opposite terminal). Designers must account for wiper resistance (200 Ω typical) and ensure current stays within ±4.4 mA limits to avoid exceeding power rating or degrading linearity.
How does the X9317WM8T1 handle wiper movement during rapid INC toggling?
The X9317WM8T1 uses a synchronous up/down counter architecture where each negative edge on INC advances or retreats the wiper by one tap, based on the U/D input state. Rapid toggling is supported with a minimum INC cycle time of 2 µs. During multi-step movement, the device employs make-before-break switching - briefly connecting adjacent taps - preventing open-circuit transients but temporarily lowering effective resistance if multiple taps are bridged during transition.
