X9116WM8IZ-2.7

Digital Potentiometers Overview

The X9116WM8IZ-2.7 is a digitally controlled potentiometer (XDCP) manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, formerly Intersil. It features a single potentiometer with 16 taps and a total resistance of 10 kOhms. The device utilizes a nonvolatile memory architecture to store the wiper position, which is automatically recalled upon power-up. It operates on a serial interface requiring three wires for up/down control. The component is designed for applications replacing mechanical trimmers, offering solid-state reliability and stability.

Digital Potentiometers Feature Summary

• Solid-state nonvolatile 16-wiper tap configuration
• 3-wire up/down serial interface for position control
• Power-on recall of last stored wiper position
• Linear taper with 10 kOhm end-to-end resistance

Digital Potentiometers Applications

• Trimmer applications in electronic circuits
• Variable resistance requirements in signal processing
• Parameter adjustment in industrial equipment

Digital Potentiometers Procurement Notes

This component is classified as obsolete or End-of-Life (EOL). Availability is restricted, and it may not be sold by all distributors. Verification of current stock status and lead times from authorized suppliers is required before procurement planning.

Digital Potentiometers Selection Notes

Select this part for low-power digital potentiometer needs requiring nonvolatile storage. Ensure the system supports a 3-wire serial interface and operates within the specified voltage range. Verify that the 16-tap resolution meets the application's precision requirements compared to higher-resolution alternatives.

Digital Potentiometers Part Context

The X9116 belongs to the X9116 series of Digitally Controlled Potentiometers (XDCP). It is part of Renesas' portfolio of analog mixed-signal ICs derived from Intersil products. This specific variant uses an MSOP-8 package and is designed for surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) installation.

Digital Potentiometers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, alternative components must be identified through independent cross-reference tools or manufacturer recommendations for modern equivalents.
