Product details
Overview
X9317WS8-2.7T1 from Renesas Electronics is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 100 wiper tap points, nonvolatile wiper position storage, and 2.7V to 5.5V supply operation. It implements a 99-element resistor array with temperature-compensated end-to-end resistance tolerance of ±20%, low standby current (<5 µA), and is used for precision DC bias adjustment and voltage regulator output control in embedded analog signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the X9317WS8-2.7T1 datasheet, X9317WS8-2.7T1 pinout, X9317WS8-2.7T1 application, or X9317WS8-2.7T1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated SOIC-8 pin functions, confirmed alternatives for trim-critical circuits, and supply assurance for industrial production programs.
Technical Context
The X9317WS8-2.7T1 uses a 7-bit up/down counter driving a decoder that selects one of 100 wiper positions across a 99-resistor ladder. Its "make-before-break" switching ensures glitch-free transitions during wiper movement, and nonvolatile memory retains the last stored position across power cycles.
Control is implemented via a 3-wire serial interface (CS, U/D, INC) with negative-edge-triggered INC and direction-selectable U/D logic. The device operates as either a three-terminal voltage divider (RH–RW–RL) or two-terminal variable resistor (RW–RL or RW–RH), with wiper resistance specified at 200 Ω (typ) at 5 V and up to 1000 Ω at 2.7 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end resistance | 10 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. |
| Wiper tap resolution | 100 positions (0–99) - provides 1% step resolution for fine-grained analog trimming in calibration loops. |
| Standby current | <5 µA - supports ultra-low-power modes in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| Nonvolatile storage | 100-year data retention, 100,000 write cycles - eliminates need for external EEPROM or MCU-based position backup. |
| Temperature coefficient | ±300 ppm/°C (absolute), ±20 ppm/°C (ratiometric) - ensures stable gain/offset over industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). |
| Wiper resistance | 200 Ω (typ) at 5 V; 400–1000 Ω at 2.7 V - impacts loading error in high-impedance feedback paths and must be factored into loop gain calculations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead narrow-body SOIC (M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C.
| 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; timing critical for reliable tap stepping (tCYC ≥ 2 µs). |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Logic level determines wiper movement direction during INC edge; may be changed dynamically while CS is low. |
| 3 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connected to higher potential in voltage divider configuration; not necessarily highest voltage node in circuit. |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance and decoupled near device to minimize noise coupling into wiper path. |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper terminal | Movable contact point; series resistance (200–1000 Ω) directly affects accuracy in high-Z feedback networks and sensor biasing. |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; tied to lower potential in voltage divider; forms current path with RW in variable-resistor mode. |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; wiper updates only when CS = LOW; HIGH-to-LOW transition initiates store operation if INC = HIGH. |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 2.7–5.5 V analog/digital rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling; ICC1 ≤ 80 µA during active incrementing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Solid-state potentiometer architecture | Eliminates mechanical wear, drift, and contamination issues-enables >100k lifetime adjustments in automated test equipment. |
| 3-wire up/down serial interface | Requires only three GPIOs and no clock generation logic-simplifies integration with microcontrollers lacking SPI peripherals. |
| Nonvolatile wiper position storage | Restores last-trimmed value on power-up-removes need for boot-time calibration routines in medical or industrial sensors. |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC ensures stable voltage division ratio across temperature-critical for laser diode bias stability. |
| Low-power CMOS design | Standby current <5 µA allows continuous connection in always-on monitoring circuits without measurable battery drain. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5241BRMZ10 | Single-channel, I²C interface, 10 kΩ, 64 taps, 2.7–5.5 V, 200 ppm/°C TC | Requires I²C master; lower resolution (64 vs. 100 taps); no built-in nonvolatile storage (relies on host MCU) | Choose when system already uses I²C infrastructure and tap count suffices for required trim granularity. |
| MCP41010-I/P | Single-channel, SPI interface, 10 kΩ, 257 taps, 2.7–5.5 V, 150 ppm/°C TC, volatile-only | Higher resolution but volatile memory only; requires external EEPROM or MCU firmware to retain position | Prefer when finer resolution is needed and host controller handles position persistence reliably. |
Compared with AD5241BRMZ10 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9317WS8-2.7T1 offers superior long-term stability through integrated nonvolatile storage and tighter ratiometric temperature tracking, reducing system-level calibration overhead in unattended industrial equipment.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed wiper position retention capability of the X9317WS8-2.7T1?
The X9317WS8-2.7T1 guarantees 100 years of data retention in nonvolatile memory and supports 100,000 wiper position write cycles. This means the last-stored tap position remains intact across decades of operation and repeated field calibrations-no external backup or refresh logic is required for the X9317WS8-2.7T1 to maintain its trimmed state.
Does the X9317WS8-2.7T1 require an external clock or microcontroller to operate?
No, the X9317WS8-2.7T1 operates autonomously using only three digital control lines (CS, U/D, INC) with no external clock or firmware dependency. Its internal 7-bit up/down counter and decoder handle all wiper positioning-making the X9317WS8-2.7T1 compatible with simple GPIO-driven systems, including those without SPI or I²C peripherals.
Can the X9317WS8-2.7T1 be used in a two-terminal variable resistor configuration?
Yes, the X9317WS8-2.7T1 supports two-terminal operation by connecting either RH or RL to RW and using the remaining terminal with RW as a programmable resistance element. In this mode, total resistance ranges from 0 Ω (wiper at terminal) to 10 kΩ (wiper at opposite end), with wiper resistance (200–1000 Ω) contributing directly to minimum achievable resistance-verified in the X9317WS8-2.7T1 datasheet Figure 4.
What is the maximum allowable voltage across RH and RL terminals of the X9317WS8-2.7T1?
The absolute maximum voltage between RH and RL terminals is limited to +6 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this risks permanent damage to the internal resistor array switches. For reliable operation, the applied voltage should remain within the supply rails (VSS to VCC), and power dissipation must stay below 10 mW for 10 kΩ devices-both constraints apply directly to the X9317WS8-2.7T1.
How does the X9317WS8-2.7T1 handle power-up sequencing to prevent unintended wiper movement?
The X9317WS8-2.7T1 requires CS and INC to be held HIGH before or concurrently with VCC ramp-up to avoid spurious wiper changes or accidental store operations. Once powered, the wiper stabilizes within 5 µs (tPU), and full electrical specifications apply after 1 ms. This behavior is explicitly defined in the Power-up and Down Requirements section of the X9317WS8-2.7T1 datasheet.
