X95840

The X95840 integrates four digitally controlled potentiometers (XDCP™) on a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The digitally controlled potentiometers are implemented with a combination of resistor elements and CMOS switches. The position of the wipers is controlled by the user through the I²C bus interface. Each potentiometer has an associated volatile Wiper Register (WR) and a non-volatile Initial Value Register (IVR), that can be directly written to and read by the user. The contents of the WR control the position of the wiper. At power up the device recalls the contents of the four DCP's IVR to the corresponding WRs. The DCPs can be used as three-terminal potentiometers or as two-terminal variable resistors in a wide variety of applications including control, parameter adjustments, and signal processing.
