• Description: Dual Dcp, Eeprom Memory
• Manufacturer: Intersil Corporation

Nonvolatile Write Acknowledge Polling
After a nonvolatile write command sequence (for either
the EEPROM array, the Non Volatile Memory of a DCP
(NVM), or the CONSTAT Register) has been correctly
issued (including the final STOP condition), the X9521
initiates an internal high voltage write cycle. This cycle
typically requires 5 ms. During this time, no further Read
or Write commands can be issued to the device. Write
Acknowledge Polling is used to determine when this high
voltage write cycle has been completed.
To perform acknowledge polling, the master issues a
START condition followed by a Slave Address Byte. The
Slave Address issued must contain a valid Internal
Device Address. The LSB of the Slave Address (R/W)
can be set to either 1 or 0 in this case. If the device is still
busy with the high voltage cycle then no ACKNOWL-
EDGE will be returned. If the device has completed the
write operation, an ACKNOWLEDGE will be returned
and the host can then proceed with a read or write opera-
tion. (Refer to Figure 5.).

X9521
DIGITALLY CONTROLLED POTENTIOMETERS
DCP Functionality
The X9521 includes two independent resistor arrays.
These arrays respectively contain 99 and 255 discrete
resistive segments that are connected in series. The
physical ends of each array are equivalent to the fixed
terminals of a mechanical potentiometer (R
inputs - where x = 1,2).
At both ends of each array and between each resistor
segment there is a CMOS switch connected to the wiper
(R
switch may be turned on at any one time. These
switches are controlled by the Wiper Counter Register
(WCR) (See Figure 6). The WCR is a volatile register.
On power-up of the X9521, wiper position data is auto-
matically loaded into the WCR from its associated Non
Volatile Memory (NVM) Register. The Table below
shows the Initial Values of the DCP WCR’s before the
contents of the NVM is loaded into the WCR.
