DESCRIPTION
The X9241 integrates four nonvolatile E2POT digitally
controlled potentiometers on a monolithic CMOS microcircuit.
The X9241 contains four resistor arrays, each composed of 63 resistive elements. Between each element
and at either end are tap points accessible to the wiper
elements. The position of the wiper element on the array
is controlled by the user through the two-wire serial bus
interface.
Each resistor array has associated with it a wiper counter
register and four 8-bit data registers that can be directly
written and read by the user. The contents of the wiper
counter register control the position of the wiper on the
resistor array.
The data register may be read or written by the user. The
contents of the data registers can be transferred to the
wiper counter register to position the wiper. The current
wiper position can be transferred to any one of its
associated data registers.
The arrays may be cascaded to form resistive elements
with 127, 190 or 253 taps.
The SCL input is used to clock data into and out of the
X9241.
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and
out of the device. It is an open drain output and may be
wire-ORed with any number of open drain or open
collector outputs. An open drain output requires the use
of a pull-up resistor. For selecting typical values, refer
to the guidelines for calculating typical values on the
bus pull-up resistors graph.
Address
The Address inputs are used to set the least significant
4 bits of the 8-bit slave address. A match in the slave
address serial data stream must be made with the
Address input in order to initiate communication with the
X9241.
Potentiometer Pins
VH (VH0 – VH3), VL (VL0 – VL3)
The VH and VL inputs are equivalent to the terminal
connections on either end of a mechanical potentiometer.
VW (VW0 – VW3)
The wiper outputs are equivalent to the wiper output of
a mechanical potentiometer.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The X9241 is a highly integrated microcircuit incorporating four resistor arrays, their associated registers and
counters and the serial interface logic providing direct
communication between the host and the E2POT potentiometers.
Serial Interface
The X9241 supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data
onto the bus as a transmitter and the receiving device as
the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is a
master and the device being controlled is the slave. The
master will always initiate data transfers and provide the
clock for both transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the X9241 will be considered a slave device in all
applications.
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW periods (t
). SDA state changes during
LOW
SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop
conditions.

Start Condition
All commands to the X9241 are preceded by the start
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA
while SCL is HIGH (t
). The X9241 continuously
HIGH
monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition
and will not respond to any command until this condition
is met.
Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH.

X9241
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to provide
a positive handshake between the master and slave
devices on the bus to indicate the successful receipt of
data. The transmitting device, either the master or the
slave, will release the SDA bus after transmitting eight
bits. The master generates a ninth clock cycle and
during this period the receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to
acknowledge that it successfully received the eight bits
of data. See Figure 7.
The X9241 will respond with an acknowledge after
recognition of a start condition and its slave address and
once again after successful receipt of the command
byte. If the command is followed by a data byte the
X9241 will respond with a final acknowledge.
Array Description
The X9241 is comprised of four resistor arrays. Each
array contains 63 discrete resistive segments that are
connected in series. The physical ends of each array are
equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer (VH and VL inputs).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment is a FET switch connected to the wiper (VW)
output. Within each individual array only one switch may
be turned on at a time. These switches are controlled by
the Wiper Counter Register (WCR). The six least significant bits of the WCR are decoded to select, and enable,
one of sixty-four switches.
The next four bits of the slave address are the device
address. The physical device address is defined by the
state of the A0-A3 inputs. The X9241 compares the
serial data stream with the address input state; a successful compare of all four address bits is required for
the X9241 to respond with an acknowledge.
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs, during the internal nonvolatile write operation, can be used to take advantage
of the typical 5ms E2PROM write cycle time. Once the
stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the
nonvolatile write command the X9241 initiates the internal write cycle. ACK polling can be initiated immediately.
This involves issuing the start condition followed by the
device slave address. If the X9241 is still busy with the
write operation no ACK will be returned. If the X9241 has
completed the write operation an ACK will be returned
and the master can then proceed with the next
operation.

The WCR may be written directly, or it can be changed
by transferring the contents of one of four associated
data registers into the WCR. These data registers and
the WCR can be read and written by the host system.
Device Addressing
Following a start condition the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The most significant
four bits of the slave address are the device type
identifier (refer to Figure 1 below). For the X9241 this is
fixed as 0101[B].

Instruction Structure
The next byte sent to the X9241 contains the instruction
and register pointer information. The four most significant bits are the instruction. The next four bits point to
one of four pots and when applicable they point to one
of four associated registers. The format is shown below
in Figure 2.

3864 ILL F09.1
The four high order bits define the instruction. The next
two bits (P1 and P0) select which one of the four
potentiometers is to be affected by the instruction. The
last two bits (R1 and R0) select one of the four registers
that is to be acted upon when a register oriented instruction is issued.
Four of the nine instructions end with the transmission of
the instruction byte. The basic sequence is illustrated in
Figure 3. These two-byte instructions exchange data
between the WCR and one of the data registers. A
transfer from a data register to a WCR is essentially a
write to a static RAM. The response of the wiper to this
action will be delayed t
. A transfer from WCR
STPWV
current wiper position, to a data register is a write to
nonvolatile memory and takes a minimum of tWR to
complete. The transfer can occur between one of the
four potentiometers and one of its associated registers;
or it may occur globally, wherein the transfer occurs
between all four of the potentiometers and one of their
associated registers.
Four instructions require a three-byte sequence to
complete. These instructions transfer data between the
host and the X9241; either between the host and one of
the data registers or directly between the host and the
WCR. These instructions are: Read WCR, read the
current wiper position of the selected pot; Write WCR,
change current wiper position of the selected pot; Read
Data Register, read the contents of the selected nonvolatile register; Write Data Register, write a new value
to the selected data register. The sequence of operations is shown in Figure 4.
The Increment/Decrement command is different from
the other commands. Once the command is issued and
the X9241 has responded with an acknowledge, the
master can clock the selected wiper up and/or down in
one segment steps; thereby, providing a fine tuning
capability to the host. For each SCL clock pulse (t
HIGH
while SDA is HIGH, the selected wiper will move one
resistor segment towards the VH terminal. Similarly, for
each SCL clock pulse while SDA is LOW, the selected
wiper will move one resistor segment towards the V
terminal. A detailed illustration of the sequence and
timing for this operation are shown in Figures 5 and 6
respectively.

DETAILED OPERATION
All four E2POT potentiometers share the serial interface
and share a common architecture. Each potentiometer
is comprised of a resistor array, a wiper counter register
and four data registers. A detailed discussion of the
register organization and array operation follows.
Wiper Counter Register
The X9241 contains four wiper counter registers (WCR),
one for each E2POT potentiometer. The WCR can be
envisioned as a 6-bit parallel and serial load counter with
its outputs decoded to select one of sixty-four switches
along its resistor array. The contents of the WCR can be
altered in four ways: it may be written directly by the host
via the Write WCR instruction (serial load); it may be
written indirectly by transferring the contents of one of
four associated data registers via the XFR Data Register
instruction (parallel load); it can be modified one step at
a time by the Increment/ Decrement instruction; finally,
it is loaded with the contents of its data register zero (R0)
upon power-up.
Figure 8. Detailed Potentiometer Block Diagram
The WCR is a volatile register; that is, its contents are
lost when the X9241 is powered-down. Although the
register is automatically loaded with the value in R0
upon power-up, it should be noted this may be different
from the value present at power-down.
Data Registers
Each potentiometer has four nonvolatile data registers.
These can be read or written directly by the host and
data can be transferred between any of the four data
registers and the WCR. It should be noted all operations
changing data in one of these registers is a nonvolatile
operation and will take a maximum of 10ms.
If the application does not require storage of multiple
settings for the potentiometer, these registers can be
used as regular memory locations that could possibly
store system parameters or user preference data.

X9241
Cascade Mode
The X9241 provides a mechanism for cascading the
arrays. That is, the sixty-three resistor elements of one
array may be cascaded (linked) with the resistor elements of an adjacent array.
Cascade Control Bits
The data byte, for the three-byte commands, contains 6
bits (LSBs) for defining the wiper position plus two high
order bits, CM (Cascade Mode) and DW (Disable Wiper).
The state of CM enables or disables (normal operation)
cascade mode. When the CM bit of the WCR is set to “0”
the potentiometer is in the normal operation mode.
When the CM bit of the WCR is set to “1” the potentiometer
is cascaded with its adjacent higher order potentiometer.
For example; if bit 7 of WCR2 is set to “1”, pot 2 will be
cascaded to pot 3.
The state of DW enables or disables the wiper. When the

WCR3
DW bit of the WCR is set to “0” the wiper is enabled;
when set to “1” the wiper is disabled. If the wiper is
disabled, the wiper terminal will be electrically isolated
and float.
When operating in cascade mode VH, VL and the wiper
terminals of the cascaded arrays must be electrically
connected externally. All but one of the wipers must be
disabled. The user can alter the wiper position by writing
directly to the WCR or indirectly by transferring the
contents of the data registers to the WCR or by using the
Increment/Decrement command.
When using the Increment/Decrement command the
wiper position will automatically transition between
arrays. The current position of the wiper can be determined by reading the WCR registers; if the DW bit is “0”,
the wiper in that array is active. If the current wiper
position is to be maintained, a global XFR WCR to Data
Register command must be issued before power-down.
