MCP4011-502E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · MSOP-8

MCP4011-502E from Microchip Tech, in a MSOP-8. 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 Positive power supply input, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V relative to VSS, with a decoupling capacitor on VDD to VSS recommended for maximum performance.
2 VSS power_in Ground reference pin for the device.
3 A passive Potentiometer terminal A, the fixed connection to the 0x3F terminal of the digital potentiometer; the voltage must be between VSS and VDD and it supports both positive and negative current.
4 W passive Potentiometer wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal of the digital potentiometer; the voltage must be between VSS and VDD and it supports both positive and negative current.
5 CS input Chip select input; forcing CS to VIL enables serial commands, forcing it to VIHH enables high-voltage serial commands, and it has an internal pull-up resistor.
6 B passive Potentiometer terminal B, the fixed connection to the 0x00 terminal of the digital potentiometer; the voltage must be between VSS and VDD and it supports both positive and negative current.
7 NC unconnected No connection.
8 U/D input Increment/decrement input that moves the wiper one step toward terminal A on an increment and one step toward terminal B on a decrement.
