X9119

Single Supply/Low Power/1024-Tap/2-Wire Bus

Data Sheet July 9, 2008

Single Digitally-Controlled (XDCP™) Potentiometer

The X9119 integrates a single digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP™) on a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit.

The digital controlled potentiometer is implemented using 1023 resistive elements in a series array. Between each element are tap points connected to the wiper terminal through switches. The position of the wiper on the array is controlled by the user through the 2-wire bus interface. The potentiometer has associated with it a volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR) and a four non-volatile Data Registers that can be directly written to and read by the user. The contents of the WCR controls the position of the wiper on the resistor array though the switches. Powerup recalls the contents of the default data register (DR0) to the WCR.

The XDCP™ can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or as a two terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of applications including control, parameter adjustments, and signal processing.

SERIAL DATA INPUT/OUTPUT (SDA)

The SDA is a bidirectional serial data input/output pin for a 2-wire slave device and is used to transfer data into and out of the device. It receives device address, opcode, wiper register address and data sent from an 2-wire master at the rising edge of the serial clock SCL, and it shifts out data after each falling edge of the serial clock SCL.

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.

SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)

This input is used by 2-wire master to supply 2-wire serial clock to the X9119.

DEVICE ADDRESS (A

The Address inputs are used to set the least significant 3 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 X9119. A maximum of 8 devices may occupy the 2-wire serial bus.

Principals of Operation

The X9119 is an integrated microcircuit incorporating a resistor array and its associated registers and counters and the serial interface logic providing direct communication between the host and the digitally controlled potentiometer. This section provides detail description of the following:

• Resistor Array Description

• Serial Interface Description

• Instruction and Register Descripti o n

Resistor Array Description

The X9119 is comprised of a resistor array. The array contains, in effect, 1023 discrete resistive segments that are connected in series (Figure 1). The physical ends of each array are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer (R

and RL inputs).

At both ends of each array and between each resistor segment is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper (RW) 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 10-bits of the WCR (WCR[9:0]) are decoded to select, and enable, one of 1024 switches.

The WCR may be written directly. The Data Registers and the WCR can be read and written by the host system.

Serial Interface Description

SERIAL INTERFACE

The X9119 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 X9119 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. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop conditions (Figure 3).

START CONDITION

All commands to the X9119 are preceded by the start condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while SCL is HIGH. The X9119 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to any command until this condition is met (Figure 3).

STOP CONDITION

All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while SCL is HIGH (see Figure 3).

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

FIGURE 2. ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSE FROM RECEIVER

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.

The X9119 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 X9119 will respond with a final acknowledge (see Figure 2).

ACKNOWLEDGE

ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING

The disabling of the inputs, during the internal nonvolatile write operation, can be used to take advantage of the typical 5ms EEPROM write cycle time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the nonvolatile write command the X9119 initiates the internal write cycle. ACK polling, Flow 1, can be initiated immediately. This involves issuing the start condition followed by the device slave address. If the X9119 is still busy with the write operation, no ACK will be returned. If the X91 19 has completed the write operation, an ACK will be returned and the master can then proceed with the next operation.

Instruction and Register Description

slave address matches the incoming device address sent by the master executes the instruction. The A2–A0 inputs can

Device Addressing: Identification Byte (ID and A)

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. The ID[3:0] bits is the device id for the X9119; this is fixed as 0101[B] (refer to Table 1).

The A2–A0 bits in the ID byte is the internal slave address. The physical device address is defined by the state of the A2–A0 input pins. The slave address is externally specified by the user. The X9119 compares the serial data stream with the address input state; a successful compare of both address bits is required for the X9119 to successfully

be actively driven by CMOS input signals or tied to V V

. The R/W bit is the LSB and is be used to program the

device for read or write operations.

INSTRUCTION BYTE AND REGISTER SELECTION

The next byte sent to the X9119 contains the instruction and register pointer information. The three most significant bits are used provide the instruction opcode (IOP[2:0]). The RB and RA bits point to one of the four registers. The format is shown below in Table 2.
