The Intersil X93256 is a dual digitally controlled

potentiometer (XDCP). The device consists of two resistor

arrays, wiper switches, a control section, and nonvolatile

memory. The wiper positions are controlled by individual

Up/Down interfaces.

A potentiometer is implemented by a resistor array

composed of 31 resistive elements and a wiper switching

network. The position of each wiper element is controlled by

a set of independent CS, U/D, and INC inputs. The position

of the wiper can be stored in nonvolatile memory and then

be recalled upon a subsequent power-up operation.

Each potentiometer is connected as a three-terminal

variable resistor and can be used in a wide variety of

applications including:

• Bias and Gain Control

• LCD Contrast Adjustment
