Product details
Overview
X9317WS8IT1 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 as a three-terminal voltage divider or two-terminal variable resistor for precision analog trimming in DC bias, gain/offset, and laser diode control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the X9317WS8IT1 datasheet, X9317WS8IT1 pinout, X9317WS8IT1 application, or X9317WS8IT1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including ±20% end-to-end resistance tolerance, 200Ω typical wiper resistance at 5V, <5µA standby current, ±300ppm/°C total resistance temperature coefficient, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with industrial -40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The X9317WS8IT1 integrates a 7-bit up/down counter, decoder, and nonvolatile memory to control wiper position across 100 discrete taps. Its "make-before-break" switching ensures continuity during wiper transitions, while the resistor array provides ratiometric tracking with ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric temperature coefficient.
Control is implemented via CS (chip select), U/D (direction), and INC (edge-triggered increment) signals - no clock required. Wiper position is stored to nonvolatile memory only when CS rises high while INC is high, enabling deterministic power-up recall without unintended writes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end Resistance | 10kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog range and sets minimum load impedance for stable voltage division |
| Wiper Resistance | 200Ω typical at 5V - contributes directly to output impedance and signal attenuation in buffered configurations |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across legacy 3.3V and standard 5V systems |
| Standby Current | <5µA - enables always-on trim capability in battery-powered or low-power monitoring circuits |
| Nonvolatile Endurance | 100,000 data changes per bit - supports field calibration cycles over product lifetime without wear-out risk |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor drives and sensor signal conditioning |
| Linearity Error | ±1 MI absolute, ±0.2 MI relative - ensures predictable step response in closed-loop feedback and offset correction |
| Power Rating | 10mW (RTOTAL ≥ 10kΩ) - limits maximum voltage across RH–RL terminals to ~1V RMS for safe continuous operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, narrow-body plastic package with 1.27mm lead pitch and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INC) | Increment clock input | Negative-edge-triggered control line; toggling moves wiper up/down based on U/D state |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Logic level determines wiper movement direction during INC transition; latched on CS low |
| 3 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to higher potential node in voltage divider configuration |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive analog paths |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper output | Movable terminal; presents 200Ω series resistance and connects to one of 100 tap points |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to lower potential node or ground in voltage divider use |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; initiates wiper movement when low; triggers nonvolatile store on rising edge with INC high |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 2.7V–5.5V power rail; powers logic and resistor array; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper position storage | Recalls last stored tap position on power-up - eliminates need for host MCU initialization sequence |
| 3-wire serial interface | No clock or data lines required - simplifies PCB routing and reduces GPIO count versus SPI/I²C DCPs |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300ppm/°C total resistance drift - maintains trim stability across industrial temperature ranges |
| Make-before-break wiper switching | Prevents open-circuit transients during tap transitions - critical for bias networks in amplifiers and regulators |
| Low-power CMOS design | 80µA active current, <5µA standby - suitable for always-on calibration in energy-constrained systems |
| Ratiometric tracking | ±20ppm/°C ratiometric tempco - preserves voltage division ratio under thermal gradient conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5243BRMZ10 | I²C interface, dual-channel, 256-tap resolution, 10kΩ nominal, ±30% RTOTAL tolerance | Requires I²C bus and software stack; better resolution but looser resistance tolerance than X9317WS8IT1 | Choose for multi-channel trimming or systems already using I²C infrastructure |
| MCP41010-I/P | SPI interface, 257-tap resolution, 10kΩ nominal, ±20% RTOTAL, 5V-only supply (4.5–5.5V) | Needs dedicated SPI peripheral and chip-select management; lacks wide-voltage support of X9317WS8IT1 | Choose when higher tap count and SPI-native host architecture justify added complexity |
Compared with AD5243BRMZ10 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9317WS8IT1 offers simpler 3-wire control with no protocol overhead, wider 2.7–5.5V supply range, and guaranteed industrial temperature operation - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-pin-count analog trimming where deterministic power-up behavior is essential.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by the X9317WS8IT1?
The X9317WS8IT1 supports a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, enabling interoperability with both 3.3V and 5V systems. This wide range accommodates legacy designs and modern low-voltage applications without level-shifting. The device maintains full specification compliance-including wiper position accuracy and nonvolatile write functionality-across this entire range, as confirmed in the FN8183 Rev.10.01 datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and Potentiometer Specifications tables.
How does the X9317WS8IT1 store and recall wiper position?
The X9317WS8IT1 stores wiper position in nonvolatile memory only when CS transitions from low to high while INC is held high-a deliberate write condition preventing accidental updates. Upon power-up, the stored value is automatically recalled to the wiper within 5µs, ensuring repeatable analog settings without host MCU involvement. This behavior is validated in the Power-up and Down Requirements section and confirmed by endurance testing of 100,000 write cycles per bit.
What is the pin-compatible package option for the X9317WS8IT1?
The X9317WS8IT1 uses an 8-pin SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012, drawing M8.15E) with 1.27mm lead pitch. Pin-compatible alternatives include the X9317WM8IZT1 (MSOP-8) and X9317WV8IZT1 (TSSOP-8), which share identical pin functions and electrical specifications but differ in footprint and thermal resistance. All three packages support the same -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and RoHS compliance.
Does the X9317WS8IT1 support true 3-terminal potentiometer operation?
Yes, the X9317WS8IT1 fully supports three-terminal potentiometer operation with independent RH, RL, and RW terminals. When used as a voltage divider, RH connects to VCC or reference voltage, RL to ground or low potential, and RW delivers the tapped output. The datasheet explicitly confirms this configuration in Figure 3 ("Three Terminal Potentiometer; Variable Voltage Divider") and Applications Information, with verified performance including ±1 MI absolute linearity and ratiometric temperature tracking.
What is the maximum wiper current rating for the X9317WS8IT1?
The X9317WS8IT1 specifies a maximum wiper current (IW) of ±4.4mA, measured with RH and RL biased at VCC and ground respectively. This limit ensures reliable operation of the internal CMOS switches and prevents localized heating that could affect resistance stability. Exceeding this current may degrade wiper resistance consistency or accelerate wear-particularly relevant in current-sensing or laser diode bias applications where RW carries load current.
