MCP41010-I

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · SOIC-8

MCP41010-I from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CS input SPI Chip Select (Schmitt Trigger input); command execution is triggered when CS transitions from low to high after 16 clock cycles are clocked while CS is low.
2 SCK input SPI Serial Clock (Schmitt Trigger input); data is clocked into SI on rising edges of SCK; pin is gated to CS and draws no current when CS is high.
3 SI input SPI Serial Data Input (Schmitt Trigger input); command and data bytes are clocked into the shift register on rising edges of SCK; pin is gated to CS.
4 VSS power_in Ground; power supply reference at 0V.
5 PA0 passive Potentiometer Terminal A connection; analog node with voltage range 0V to VDD with no polarity restriction.
6 PW0 passive Potentiometer Wiper connection; analog node with voltage range 0V to VDD; maximum wiper current ±1 mA per specification.
7 PB0 passive Potentiometer Terminal B connection; analog node with voltage range 0V to VDD with no polarity restriction.
8 VDD power_in Positive power supply input; operating voltage range 2.7V to 5.5V per specification.
