MCP42010-I from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-14. 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 | Chip Select for SPI interface; Schmitt Trigger input used to execute new command after loading into shift register. |
| 2 | SCK | input | Serial Clock for SPI interface; Schmitt Trigger input that clocks data into SI on rising edge and out of SO on falling edge; gated to CS pin. |
| 3 | SI | input | Serial Data Input for SPI interface; Schmitt Trigger input for clocking command and data bytes into shift register; gated to CS pin. |
| 4 | VSS | power_in | Ground; voltage reference for digital and analog circuits (0 V). |
| 5 | PB1 | passive | Potentiometer Terminal B for Pot 1; resistor terminal with voltage range 0 to VDD. |
| 6 | PW1 | passive | Wiper Connection for Pot 1; potentiometer wiper terminal with voltage range 0 to VDD. |
| 7 | PA1 | passive | Potentiometer Terminal A for Pot 1; resistor terminal with voltage range 0 to VDD. |
| 8 | PA0 | passive | Potentiometer Terminal A for Pot 0; resistor terminal with voltage range 0 to VDD. |
| 9 | PW0 | passive | Wiper Connection for Pot 0; potentiometer wiper terminal with voltage range 0 to VDD. |
| 10 | PB0 | passive | Potentiometer Terminal B for Pot 0; resistor terminal with voltage range 0 to VDD. |
| 11 | RS | input | Reset Input; pulling low for minimum 150 ns sets all potentiometers to mid-scale (Code 80h); has active pull-up; do not leave floating. |
| 12 | SHDN | input | Shutdown Input; Schmitt Trigger input that when pulled low places device in power-saving mode by open-circuiting A terminal and shorting B to W terminals; has active pull-up; do not leave floating. |
| 13 | SO | output | Serial Data Output for daisy-chaining; push-pull output that clocks data out on falling edge of clock and drives low when CS is high. |
| 14 | VDD | power_in | Power Supply; positive supply voltage 2.7 V to 5.5 V; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor close to pin. |
