MCP1501T-12E

Microchip Tech · Voltage References · SOT-23-6

MCP1501T-12E from Microchip Tech, in a SOT-23-6. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 OUT output Buffered VREF output that can source and sink 20 mA, and the output driver is tristated when the device is in shutdown.
2 GND power_in System ground, the power supply return that should be connected to system ground.
3 GND power_in System ground, the power supply return that should be connected to system ground.
4 SHDN input Active-low digital shutdown input; when low there is no output, and the device must be powered up before this pin is used.
5 GND power_in System ground, the power supply return that should be connected to system ground.
6 VDD power_in Power supply input that also serves as the reference input voltage; the Electrical Tables give the minimum voltage for each device, and a 0.1 uF capacitor is recommended very close to this pin.
