MCP4011T-103E
Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · SOIC-8
MCP4011T-103E from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-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, which can range from 1.8V to 5.5V relative to VSS, and a decoupling capacitor on VDD to VSS is recommended for maximum performance. |
| 2 | VSS | power_in | Ground reference for the device. |
| 3 | A | passive | Potentiometer terminal A, the fixed connection to the 0x3F end of the resistor string; its voltage must be between VSS and VDD, and it can support both positive and negative current. |
| 4 | W | passive | Potentiometer wiper terminal, the adjustable tap of the digital potentiometer; its voltage must be between VSS and VDD, and it can support both positive and negative current. |
| 5 | CS | input | Chip select input (TTL compatible); driving it to VIL enables serial commands and driving it to VIHH enables high-voltage serial commands, and it has an internal pull-up. |
| 6 | B | passive | Potentiometer terminal B, the fixed connection to the 0x00 end of the resistor string; its voltage must be between VSS and VDD, and it can support both positive and negative current. |
| 7 | NC | unconnected | No connection. |
| 8 | U/D | input | Increment/decrement input (TTL compatible) that moves the wiper one step toward terminal A on an increment and toward terminal B on a decrement. |
