Product details
Overview
X9400WS24IZ-2.7 from Intersil is a quad digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) with 64-tap resolution per channel, SPI serial interface, 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance, ±20% tolerance, and 2.7V to 5.5V system supply range. It integrates four independent nonvolatile potentiometers for precision analog trimming in programmable gain amplifiers, DC-DC converter feedback networks, and sensor calibration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the X9400WS24IZ-2.7 datasheet, X9400WS24IZ-2.7 pinout, X9400WS24IZ-2.7 application, or X9400WS24IZ-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin SOIC package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, 100-year data retention, 100,000-cycle endurance, and dual-supply analog operation (±5.5 V).
Technical Context
The X9400WS24IZ-2.7 implements four independent 63-segment resistor arrays with CMOS wiper switches controlled by 6-bit volatile Wiper Counter Registers (WCR). Each potentiometer features four 6-bit nonvolatile Data Registers (DR0–DR3), enabling storage of multiple wiper positions and power-on recall from DR0.
Its SPI interface supports read/write/WCR transfer/increment-decrement operations with hardware write protection (WP), device addressing (A0/A1), and HOLD functionality for serial bus pause/resume. Analog terminals (VH/VL/VW) operate over ±5.5 V independent of digital VCC, supporting true bipolar signal conditioning.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for X9400WS24IZ-2.7?
The X9400WS24IZ-2.7 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, validated per manufacturer specifications and qualified for use in harsh-environment embedded systems including motor drives and industrial PLC modules. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Recommended Operating Conditions section of the FN8189 datasheet.
Does X9400WS24IZ-2.7 support true bipolar analog signals?
Yes, X9400WS24IZ-2.7 supports true bipolar analog operation via dedicated V+ and V− pins, rated from -5.5 V to -2.7 V and +2.7 V to +5.5 V respectively. This allows direct connection to op-amps and sensors operating across ±5 V without external level-shifting circuitry - a capability not found in most competing digital potentiometers.
How many nonvolatile memory locations does X9400WS24IZ-2.7 provide per potentiometer?
X9400WS24IZ-2.7 provides four 6-bit nonvolatile Data Registers (DR0–DR3) per potentiometer channel, enabling storage of up to four distinct wiper positions per channel. These registers retain data for 100 years and withstand 100,000 write cycles, as specified in the Endurance and Data Retention section of the datasheet.
Can X9400WS24IZ-2.7 be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller SPI interface?
Yes, X9400WS24IZ-2.7 is fully compatible with 3.3 V SPI interfaces: its VCC range (2.7–5.5 V) includes 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.1×VCC) align with standard 3.3 V logic levels, and SO output is push-pull with VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 3 mA - eliminating need for level translators in mixed-voltage systems.
What happens to the wiper position of X9400WS24IZ-2.7 after power cycling?
Upon power-up, X9400WS24IZ-2.7 automatically loads the contents of Data Register 0 (DR0) into the volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR), restoring the last-saved wiper position. This power-on recall behavior is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range and requires no host intervention, ensuring deterministic startup in safety-critical applications.
