INSTRUCTIONS AND PROGRAMMING

The INC, U/D and CS inputs control the movement of

the wiper along the resistor array. With CS set LOW,

the device is selected and enabled to respond to the

U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to LOW transitions on INC

will increment or decrement (depending on the state of

the U/D input) a four bit counter. The output of this

counter is decoded to select one of 16 wiper positions

along the resistive array.

The value of the counter is stored in nonvolatile mem-

ory whenever CS transitions HIGH while the INC input

is also HIGH.

The system may select the X9116, move the wiper,

and deselect the device without having to store the lat-

est wiper position in nonvolatile memory. After the

wiper movement is performed as described above and

once the new position is reached, the system must

keep INC LOW while taking CS HIGH. The new wiper

position will be maintained until changed by the sys-

tem or until a power-up/down cycle recalls the previ-

ously stored data.

This procedure allows the system to always power-up

to a preset value stored in nonvolatile memory; then

during system operation, minor adjustments could be

made. The adjustments might be based on user pref-

erence, system parameter changes due to tempera-

ture drift, etc.

The state of U/D may be changed while CS remains

LOW. This allows the host system to enable the device

and then move the wiper up and down until the proper

trim is attained.
