Product details
Overview
X9317WS8T1 from Renesas Electronics is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 100 wiper tap points, nonvolatile wiper position storage, and 3-wire up/down serial interface. It implements a 99-element resistor array with temperature-compensated end-to-end resistance (±20% tolerance), operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, and delivers low-noise performance (–120 dBV) for precision analog trimming in voltage divider or variable resistor configurations.
For engineers reviewing the X9317WS8T1 datasheet, X9317WS8T1 pinout, X9317WS8T1 application, or X9317WS8T1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance, SOIC-8 package, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), nonvolatile recall on power-up, and compatibility with DC bias adjustment, laser diode bias control, and voltage regulator output tuning.
Technical Context
The X9317WS8T1 integrates a 7-bit up/down counter, decoder, nonvolatile memory, and resistor array with make-before-break wiper switching. Its control logic responds to CS (chip select), U/D (direction), and edge-triggered INC (increment) signals to position the wiper across 100 discrete taps.
Wiper position is retained in nonvolatile memory for 100 years and recalled automatically at power-up. The device supports both three-terminal potentiometer (voltage divider) and two-terminal variable resistor (current control) topologies, with wiper resistance of 200 Ω (typ.) at 5 V and ratiometric temperature coefficient of ±20 ppm/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end Resistance | 10 kΩ ±20% - defines full-scale analog range and load interaction in voltage divider applications |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V systems; no operation below 4.5 V |
| Wiper Tap Resolution | 100 positions (0–99) - enables 1% step resolution for fine analog trimming |
| Nonvolatile Storage | 100-year data retention, 100,000 write cycles - ensures long-term calibration stability without external EEPROM |
| Wiper Noise | –120 dBV (ref. 1 kHz) - supports low-noise signal paths in precision sensor or audio bias circuits |
| Standby Current | <5 µA - enables ultra-low-power operation during system sleep modes |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control and telecom infrastructure |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (M8.15E), RoHS-compliant, narrow-body plastic package with 1.27 mm lead pitch.
| 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 |
| 2 (U/D) | Direction control input | Logic level determines wiper movement direction (HIGH = up, LOW = down) |
| 3 (RH) | High terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to higher potential in voltage divider configuration |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance |
| 5 (RW) | Wiper terminal | Movable contact point; series resistance ≤400 Ω enables low-distortion analog signal routing |
| 6 (RL) | Low terminal | Fixed end of resistor array; connects to lower potential or ground in voltage divider |
| 7 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable; HIGH initiates nonvolatile store when INC is also HIGH |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Power input (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic, memory, and resistor array |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Solid-state potentiometer architecture | Eliminates mechanical wear, contact bounce, and environmental sensitivity of analog trimmers |
| 3-wire serial up/down interface | Requires only three GPIOs-no SPI/I²C controller needed; simplifies MCU integration |
| Nonvolatile wiper position recall | Restores last-trimmed setting at power-on without host initialization or firmware overhead |
| Temperature-compensated resistor array | ±300 ppm/°C total resistance drift and ±20 ppm/°C ratiometric drift ensure stable gain/offset over temperature |
| Low-power CMOS design | Standby current <5 µA enables battery-powered calibration and always-on analog subsystems |
Applications
| LCD Bias Control | DC Bias Adjustment |
|---|---|

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, 10 kΩ, ±30% RTOTAL tolerance, 2.7–5.5 V supply | Lacks nonvolatile recall; requires host MCU to reinitialize wiper position after power cycle | Preferred where I²C bus availability and smaller footprint outweigh need for autonomous power-up behavior |
| MCP41010-I/P | SPITM interface, 257-tap resolution, 10 kΩ, ±20% RTOTAL, 2.7–5.5 V, volatile wiper register only | No nonvolatile memory; wiper resets to mid-scale (128) on power-up unless externally reprogrammed | Suitable for applications requiring finer resolution and faster update rates, with host-controlled initialization |
Compared with AD5171BRMZ-10 and MCP41010-I/P, the X9317WS8T1 uniquely combines 100-tap resolution, guaranteed nonvolatile recall, and 3-wire simplicity-enabling self-contained analog trimming without firmware dependency or bus resource contention.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the X9317WS8T1?
The X9317WS8T1 operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It is not rated for 2.7 V operation-unlike some variants in the X9317 family (e.g., X9317WS8Z-2.7), the X9317WS8T1 is specified only for 5 V ±10% supply. Operating outside this range may result in undefined wiper behavior or failure to store positions in nonvolatile memory.
Does the X9317WS8T1 retain its wiper position after power loss?
Yes, the X9317WS8T1 stores the wiper position in nonvolatile memory and automatically recalls it upon power-up. This feature is intrinsic to the device and requires no external components or host intervention. The stored value remains valid for up to 100 years under normal operating conditions.
What package type does the X9317WS8T1 use?
The X9317WS8T1 uses an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012, drawing M8.15E), with 1.27 mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating. It is distinct from MSOP (M8.118) and TSSOP (M8.173) variants in the same family and is not pin-compatible with those packages.
Can the X9317WS8T1 be used as a two-terminal variable resistor?
Yes, the X9317WS8T1 supports two-terminal operation by connecting either RH or RL to RW and using the remaining terminal with the wiper. In this mode, it functions as a digitally adjustable rheostat for current control, with wiper resistance ≤400 Ω at 5 V and end-to-end resistance tolerance of ±20%.
How many wiper positions does the X9317WS8T1 support?
The X9317WS8T1 provides exactly 100 discrete wiper positions (0 through 99), corresponding to a 7-bit counter decoded to select one of 100 tap points across its 99-element resistor array. Each step represents approximately 1% of full-scale resistance, enabling precise analog trimming without interpolation.
