Product details
Overview
X9317WS8I-2.7 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%, wiper resistance ≤400Ω at 2.7V, and standby current <5µA. It serves as a three-terminal voltage divider or two-terminal variable resistor in precision analog trim applications.
For engineers reviewing the X9317WS8I-2.7 datasheet, X9317WS8I-2.7 pinout, X9317WS8I-2.7 application, or X9317WS8I-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V minimum VCC support, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and 3-wire up/down interface timing (tCYC = 2µs, tIW = 1–5µs).
Technical Context
The X9317WS8I-2.7 integrates a 7-bit up/down counter, decoder, and nonvolatile memory to control wiper position across 100 discrete taps. Its resistor array uses temperature-compensated thin-film elements yielding ±300 ppm/°C total resistance TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC - critical for stable voltage division under thermal drift.
Operation relies on a 3-wire serial interface (CS, U/D, INC) with negative-edge-triggered INC and make-before-break wiper switching. Wiper position is stored in nonvolatile memory upon CS↑ while INC = HIGH, enabling automatic recall at power-up without external configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-supply low-voltage systems including battery-powered and 3.3V logic interfaces. |
| RTOTAL | 10kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale resistance for gain/offset trim; tolerance impacts absolute accuracy in open-loop configurations. |
| Wiper Resistance (RW) | ≤400Ω at VCC = 2.7V - limits voltage error in high-impedance feedback paths and affects linearity at low tap positions. |
| Standby Current (ISB) | <5µA - enables ultra-low-power retention during system sleep modes without compromising wiper state. |
| Resolution | 1% (1/99 step) - provides fine-grained analog adjustment equivalent to mechanical potentiometers with 100-turn precision. |
| Nonvolatile Endurance | 100,000 data changes per bit - ensures long-term reliability in field-adjustable calibration systems requiring repeated retrimming. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments where thermal stability of bias points is essential. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead narrow-body SOIC (M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, moisture sensitivity level per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| 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; determines timing resolution (tCYC = 2µs min). |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Logic level selects wiper movement direction during INC transitions; allows bidirectional trimming without reinitialization. |
| 3 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connected to highest potential node in voltage divider; defines upper reference for wiper output. |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | System ground return path for all internal circuitry and potentiometer terminals; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper output | Movable terminal delivering intermediate voltage/current; series resistance ≤400Ω affects loading in high-gain amplifier feedback networks. |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; tied to lowest potential node (e.g., ground or negative rail); completes resistive divider path. |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; initiates wiper movement when LOW; triggers nonvolatile store on rising edge if INC = HIGH. |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Power input for CMOS control logic and switch drivers; supports 2.7V–5.5V operation with ICC1 ≤80µA active current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper storage | Retains last programmed position across power cycles - eliminates boot-time recalibration in embedded systems. |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300 ppm/°C total resistance TC and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric TC - maintains voltage division accuracy over industrial temperature range. |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap transitions - avoids glitches in sensitive analog feedback loops. |
| Low-power CMOS architecture | Standby current <5µA and active current ≤80µA - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and sensor nodes. |
| 3-wire serial interface | No protocol overhead or address decoding required - simplifies microcontroller GPIO usage and reduces firmware complexity. |
Applications
| LCD Bias Control | Laser Diode Bias Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adjusting VCOM or gamma reference voltages in TFT-LCD panels to compensate for panel-to-panel variation and aging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Three-terminal voltage divider setting precise DC bias levels; wiper position updated once per production calibration.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal variable resistor in offset null network; wiper adjusted during system self-test or field maintenance. Use Value: Delivers sub-millivolt offset correction with 1% step resolution; low wiper resistance (≤400Ω) prevents gain error in high-Z null paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5171BRMZ-10 | I²C interface, 64-tap resolution, 10kΩ RTOTAL, 2.7–5.5V supply, but no nonvolatile storage - requires external EEPROM or host MCU retention. | Suitable for systems with existing I²C infrastructure and host-controlled calibration; unsuitable for standalone power-cycle retention. | Select when bus-based control and higher integration (e.g., multiple DCPs on one bus) outweigh need for autonomous recall. |
| MCP41HV51-103 | 100-tap SPI interface, 10kΩ RTOTAL, 4.5–24V supply, volatile wiper register only - no nonvolatile memory; requires external storage or periodic refresh. | Fits high-voltage bias applications (e.g., piezo drivers) but adds design complexity for state retention across power loss. | Choose for >5V analog rails where X9317WS8I-2.7's 5.5V max would limit headroom. |
Compared with AD5171BRMZ-10 and MCP41HV51-103, the X9317WS8I-2.7 uniquely combines 100-tap resolution, true nonvolatile wiper storage, 2.7V operation, and 3-wire simplicity - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, self-contained industrial trim functions without host processor dependency.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage supported by the X9317WS8I-2.7?
The X9317WS8I-2.7 operates down to 2.7V, as specified in its "X9317-2.7" variant designation and confirmed in the Potentiometer Specifications table (VCC = 2.7–5.5V). This enables direct interfacing with 3.3V systems and battery-powered devices without level-shifting, while maintaining full functionality including nonvolatile store and 100-tap resolution.
Does the X9317WS8I-2.7 retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes, the X9317WS8I-2.7 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it on power-up. This behavior is guaranteed by its architecture: a store operation is triggered when CS transitions HIGH while INC is HIGH, and the value persists for 100 years per data retention specification - eliminating need for external memory or host initialization.
What package type and footprint does the X9317WS8I-2.7 use?
The X9317WS8I-2.7 uses an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012, Renesas drawing M8.15E), with 1.27mm lead pitch and standard SOIC land pattern. Its dimensions (4.90mm × 3.90mm × 1.75mm max height) match industry-standard SOIC-8 footprints, enabling drop-in replacement of legacy mechanical pots or other SOIC-packaged DCPs.
How does the 3-wire interface of the X9317WS8I-2.7 differ from I²C or SPI protocols?
The X9317WS8I-2.7 uses a dedicated 3-wire up/down interface (CS, U/D, INC) with no clock line or address bits - unlike I²C or SPI. INC is negative-edge-triggered, U/D sets direction, and CS enables operation or initiates nonvolatile store. This eliminates protocol overhead, reduces MCU resource usage, and avoids bus contention, making it ideal for simple GPIO-based trimming.
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9317WS8I-2.7 at 2.7V supply?
At VCC = 2.7V, the X9317WS8I-2.7 supports a maximum wiper current (IW) of ±4.4mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This corresponds to a worst-case power dissipation of ~12mW across RW (≤1000Ω at 2.7V), well within the device's 10mW power rating for RTOTAL ≥10kΩ - ensuring safe operation in typical voltage-divider or current-source configurations.
