MCP3221A5T-E

Microchip Tech · Analog To Digital Converters (ADCs) · SOT-23-5

MCP3221A5T-E from Microchip Tech, in a SOT-23-5. 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 VDD power_in Supply pin, 2.7V to 5.5V, which also serves as the voltage reference for the conversion; bypass with 0.1 µF placed close to the pin (absolute maximum +7.0V).
2 VSS power_in Ground pin for the device.
3 AIN input Single-ended analog input to the sample-and-hold of the SAR converter, valid from VSS to VDD for proper conversions.
4 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data pin, open-drain, bidirectional for addresses and data; needs a pull-up to VDD (typically 10 kΩ at 100 kHz, 2 kΩ at 400 kHz).
5 SCL input I2C serial clock input that synchronizes data transfer on SDA; open-drain bus needing a pull-up to VDD (typically 10 kΩ at 100 kHz, 2 kΩ at 400 kHz).
