Quad, 256 Tap, Low Voltage Digitally Controlled Potentiometer (XDCP) ISL23445 Features Four potentiometers per package The ISL23445 is a volatile, low voltage, low noise, low power, 256 tap, quad digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) with an SPI 256 resistor taps Bus interface. It integrates four DCP cores, wiper switches and control logic on a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. 10k, 50k or 100k total resistance SPI serial interface Each digitally controlled potentiometer is implemented with a combination of resistor elements and CMOS switches. The - No additional level translator for low bus supply position of the wipers are controlled by the user through the - Daisy Chaining of multiple DCPs SPI bus interface. Each potentiometer has an associated Maximum supply current without serial bus activity volatile Wiper Register (WRi, i = 0, 1, 2, 3) that can be directly (standby) written to and read by the user. The contents of the WRi - 5A V and V = 5V controls the position of the wiper. When powered on, the wiper CC LOGIC of each DCP will always commence at mid-scale (128 tap -2uA V and V = 1.7V CC LOGIC position). Shutdown Mode - Forces the DCP into an end-to-end open circuit and RWi is The low voltage, low power consumption, and small package connected to RLi internally of the ISL23445 make it an ideal choice for use in battery operated equipment. In addition, the ISL23445 has a V - Reduces power consumption by disconnecting the DCP LOGIC pin allowing down to 1.2V bus operation, independent from the resistor from the circuit V value. This allows for low logic levels to be connected CC Power supply directly to the ISL23445 without passing through a voltage -V = 1.7V to 5.5V analog power supply CC level shifter. -V = 1.2V to 5.5V SPI bus/logic power supply LOGIC The DCP can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or as a Wiper resistance: 70 typical V = 3.3V CC two-terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of applications including control, parameter adjustments, and signal processing.
