Intersil X9221AWSIZ

Description
The X9221A integrates two digitally controlled potentiometers (XDCPs) on a monolithic CMOS integrated microcircuit. The XDCP is implemented using 63 resistive elements in a series array, with tap points connected to the wiper terminal through switches. The wiper position is controlled by the user through a 2-wire bus interface. Each potentiometer has a volatile Wiper Counter Register (WCR) and two non-volatile Data Registers (DR0:DR1) that can be directly written to and read by the user. The contents of the WCR control the wiper position on the resistor array. Power up recalls the contents of DR0 to the WCR.
