- **Low Power Consumption:** 3 mA (active), 750 µA (standby)
- **Wiper Current (Max):** ±1 mA
- **Data Retention:** 100 years (typical)
- **Endurance:** 100,000 write cycles per bit
### **Descriptions:**
The X9C104 is a non-volatile, digitally controlled potentiometer that emulates a mechanical potentiometer but with electronic control. It consists of a resistor array, wiper switches, and a control circuit. The wiper position can be adjusted via digital signals and is stored in non-volatile memory, ensuring retention of settings after power cycles.
### **Features:**
- **Solid-State Reliability:** No moving parts, unlike mechanical potentiometers.
- **Non-Volatile Storage:** Saves wiper position when powered off.
- **Incremental Adjustment:** Allows step-by-step wiper movement.
- **Wide Operating Voltage:** Compatible with standard 5V systems.
- **Low Power Consumption:** Suitable for battery-operated applications.
- **Compact Package:** Available in 8-pin DIP, SOIC, and other surface-mount options.
The X9C104 is commonly used in applications requiring adjustable resistance, such as calibration, offset adjustment, and programmable voltage dividers.
