Slave Address Byte
Following a START condition, the master must output a
Slave Address Byte (Refer to figure 4.). This byte
includes three parts:
– The four MSBs (SA7-SA4) are the Device Type
– The next three bits (SA3-SA1) are the Device
– The LSB (SA0) is the R/W bit. This bit defines the

Nonvolatile Write Acknowledge Polling
After a nonvolatile write command sequence is
correctly issued (including the final STOP condition),
the X9252 initiates an internal high voltage write cycle.
This cycle typically requires 5 ms. During this time, any
Read or Write command is ignored by the X9252.
Write Acknowledge Polling is used to determine
whether a high voltage write cycle is completed.
During acknowledge polling, the master first issues a
START condition followed by a Slave Address Byte.
The Slave Address Byte contains the X9252’s Device
Type Identifier and 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 busy within the high voltage cycle,

AS0 must correspond to the logic levels at pins A2,

addressed. When the R/W bit is “1”, then a Read
operation is selected. A “0” selects a Write operation

then no ACK is returned. If the high voltage cycle is
completed, an ACK is returned and the master can
then proceed with a new Read or Write operation.

X9252 Digital Potentiometer Register Organization
Refer to the Functional Diagram on page 1. There are
four Digitally Controlled Potentiometers, referred to as
DCPi, i=0,1,2,3. Each potentiometer has one volatile
Wiper Control Register(WCR) with the corresponding
number, WCRi, i=0,1,2,3. Each potentiometer also has
four nonvolatile registers to store wiper position or
general data, these are numbered DRi0, DRi1, DRi2
and DRi3, i=0,1,2,3.
