About this manual

The X9400 integrates four digitally controlled potentiometers (XDCPs) on a single CMOS IC, providing 64 resistor taps per pot and a SPI serial interface for read, write, and transfer operations. It offers non‑volatile storage, power‑on recall, and low standby current, making it suitable for control, parameter adjustment, and signal‑processing applications.

The datasheet includes feature highlights, ordering information, pin descriptions, instruction set details, and package dimensions for both 24‑lead SOIC and TSSOP variants. It also outlines the internal architecture such as the Wiper Counter Register, Data Registers, and the command sequences used to program the device.
