X9408YS24I

The X9408YS24I is a digital potentiometer, employed in data acquisition systems. A potentiometer is a device typically used to measure the magnitude of electric potential and is usually implemented as a three terminal electrical resistor. Depending on the application, the resistance between two terminals of the device may be adjusted, enabling the device to act as a voltage divider. The X9408YS24I allows for this adjustment most often found in electronic devices, thereby providing electrical engineers with the versatility of a voltage divider with digital control.

The X9408YS24I is divided into two separate potentiometers where each has its own 8-bit shift register, counter, and latch. The part contains an 8-bit internally controlled shift register which is used to hold the 8-bit weighted word. Each bit can have a binary weight of one, two, four, or sixteen, depending on the application. Each of the two potentiometers has forty-seven elastomer switches which are used to digitally control the wiper position, either by increasing or decreasing the resistance. The IC is also equipped with an output enable function, allowing additional external control.

The X9408YS24I has a number of features, making it a great choice for a variety of applications. Firstly, it is small in size and can fit into tight spaces. It also operates over a wide voltage range and can be used with a variety of supplies. Besides these features, this digital potentiometer has improved resolution and accuracy which further improves the way it works.
