X9521

– Preliminary Information

before break” sequence is used internally for the FET

switches when the wiper is moved from one tap position

to another.

Hot Pluggability

Figure 7 shows a typical waveform that the X9521 might

experience in a Hot Pluggable situation. On power up,

Vcc applied to the X9521 may exhibit some amount of

ringing, before it settles to the required value.

The device is designed such that the wiper terminal (RWx)

is recalled to the correct position (as per the last stored in

the DCP NVM), when the voltage applied to Vcc exceeds

VTRIP for a time exceeding tpu.

Therefore, if

ttrans is deﬁned as the time taken for Vcc to

settle above VTRIP (Figure 7): then the desired wiper ter-

minal position is recalled by (a maximum) time:

ttrans +

tpu. It should be noted that ttrans is determined by system

hot plug conditions.

DCP Operations

In total there are three operations that can be performed

on any internal DCP structure:

—DCP Nonvolatile Write

—DCP Volatile Write

—DCP Read

A nonvolatile write to a DCP will change the “wiper

position” by simultaneously writing new data to the

associated WCR and NVM. Therefore, the new “wiper

position” setting is recalled into the WCR after Vcc of the

X9521 is powered down and then powered back up.

A volatile write operation to a DCP however, changes the

“wiper position” by writing new data to the associated

WCR only. The contents of the associated NVM register

remains unchanged. Therefore, when Vcc to the device is

powered down then back up, the “wiper position” reverts

to that last position written to the DCP using a nonvolatile

write operation.

Both volatile and nonvolatile write operations are

executed using a three byte command sequence: (DCP)

Slave Address Byte, Instruction Byte, followed by a Data

Byte (See Figure 9)

A DCP Read operation allows the user to “read out” the

current “wiper position” of the DCP, as stored in the

associated WCR. This operation is executed using the

Random Address Read command sequence, consisting

of the (DCP) Slave Address Byte followed by an

Instruction Byte and the Slave Address Byte again (Refer

to Figure 10.).

Instruction Byte

While the Slave Address Byte is used to select the DCP

devices, an Instruction Byte is used to determine which

DCP is being addressed.

The Instruction Byte (Figure 8) is valid only when the

Device Type Identiﬁer and the Internal Device Address

bits of the Slave Address are set to 1010111. In this

case, the two Least Signiﬁcant Bit’s (I1 - I0) of the

Instruction Byte are used to select the particular DCP (0

- 2). In the case of a Write to any of the DCPs (i.e. the LSB

of the Slave Address is 0), the Most Signiﬁcant Bit of the

Instruction Byte (I7), determines the Write Type (WT) per-

formed.

If WT is “1”, then a Nonvolatile Write to the DCP occurs. In

this case, the “wiper position” of the DCP is changed by

simultaneously writing new data to the associated WCR

Figure 7.
