The X9317US8-2.7 is a digitally controlled potentiometer IC (Integrated Circuit) manufactured by Intersil. It is designed to provide a variable resistor function in electronic circuits. This particular IC has a resistance value of 10k ohms with a 256-tap configuration, allowing for precise adjustment of resistance. The X9317US8-2.7 operates on a supply voltage of 2.7V and has a low power consumption, making it suitable for use in portable and battery-powered devices. It features an end-to-end resistance tolerance of ±20% and a temperature coefficient of ±300ppm/°C. The IC is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, making it easy to mount on circuit boards. The X9317US8-2.7 also has non-volatile memory, meaning that it retains its resistance setting even when the power is turned off, making it ideal for use in applications that require memory retention
