DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Instructions
Four of the ten instructions are three bytes in length.
These instructions are:
– Read Wiper Counter Register – read the current
– Write Wiper Counter Register – change current
– Read Data Register – read the contents of the
– Write Data Register – write a new value to the
– Read Status - This command returns the contents
The basic sequence of the three byte instructions is
illustrated in Figure 3. These three-byte instructions
exchange data between the WCR and one of the Data
Registers. A transfer from a Data Register to a WCR is
essentially a write to a static RAM, with the static RAM
controlling the wiper position. The response of the
wiper to this action will be delayed by t
from the WCR (current wiper position), to a Data
Register is a write to nonvolatile memory and takes a
minimum of t
between one of the two potentiometers and one of its
associated registers; or it may occur globally, where
the transfer occurs between all potentiometers and
one associated register. The Read Status Register
instruction is the only unique format (See Figure 5).
Four instructions require a two-byte sequence to
complete. These instructions transfer data between
the host and the X9260; either between the host and
one of the data registers or directly between the host
and the Wiper Counter Register. These instructions
are:
wiper position of the selected potentiometer,
wiper position of the selected potentiometer,
selected Data Register;
selected Data Register.

INCREMENT/DECREMENT COMMAND
The final command is Increment/Decrement (See
Figures 6 and 7). The Increment/Decrement command
is different from the other commands. Once the
command is issued and the X9260 has responded
with an acknowledge, the master can clock the
selected wiper up and/or down in one segment steps;
thereby, providing a fine tuning capability to the host.
For each SCL clock pulse (t
the selected wiper will move one resistor segment
towards the R
pulse while SI is LOW, the selected wiper will move
one resistor segment towards the R
detailed illustration of the sequence and timing for this
operation are shown. See Instruction format for more
details.
