Pinout

Pin	Name	Type	Function
1	CS	input	SPI chip select input, high-voltage tolerant with Schmitt trigger; forcing it to VIL enables serial commands and VIHH enables high-voltage serial commands.
2	SCK	input	SPI clock input, high-voltage tolerant with Schmitt trigger and smart weak pull-up.
3	SDI	input	SPI serial data input, connected to the host controller's SDO pin; high-voltage tolerant with Schmitt trigger.
4	VSS	power_in	Ground reference for the device.
5	P1B	passive	Potentiometer 1 terminal B, the fixed zero-scale (wiper 0x00) connection; non-polarized and must be between VSS and VDD.
6	P1W	passive	Potentiometer 1 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal; non-polarized and must be between VSS and VDD.
7	P1A	passive	Potentiometer 1 terminal A, the fixed full-scale connection; non-polarized and must be between VSS and VDD.
8	P0A	passive	Potentiometer 0 terminal A, the fixed full-scale connection; non-polarized and must be between VSS and VDD.
9	P0W	passive	Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal; non-polarized and must be between VSS and VDD.
10	P0B	passive	Potentiometer 0 terminal B, the fixed zero-scale (wiper 0x00) connection; non-polarized and must be between VSS and VDD.
11	WP	input	Hardware EEPROM write protect input that forces the non-volatile memory to be write protected.
12	SHDN	input	Hardware shutdown input that forces the resistor network terminals into the shutdown state; high-voltage tolerant with Schmitt trigger.
13	SDO	output	SPI serial data output, connected to the host controller's SDI pin, used to read registers or monitor the command error bit.
14	VDD	power_in	Positive power supply input relative to VSS; electrical performance may not meet specifications below 2.7V.
