Working Principles

The X9421YS16IZ is based on the concept of a digital potentiometer. It consists of a series of resistors connected in a ladder-like configuration. By digitally selecting different taps along this resistor ladder, the effective resistance between two terminals can be adjusted. This adjustment is achieved by controlling the switches that connect the taps to the output terminal.
