MCP4261T-104E from Microchip Tech, in a TSSOP-14. 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 | CS | input | Serial interface chip select input; forcing CS to VIL enables serial commands and forcing it to VIHH enables high-voltage serial commands. |
| 2 | SCK | input | SPI serial clock input, a high-voltage tolerant Schmitt-trigger input. |
| 3 | SDI | input | SPI serial data input, connected to the host controller's SDO pin. |
| 4 | VSS | power_in | Device ground reference. |
| 5 | P1B | passive | Potentiometer 1 terminal B; the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry both positive and negative current. |
| 6 | P1W | passive | Potentiometer 1 wiper terminal; the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry both positive and negative current. |
| 7 | P1A | passive | Potentiometer 1 terminal A (full scale); the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry both positive and negative current. |
| 8 | P0A | passive | Potentiometer 0 terminal A (full scale); the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry both positive and negative current. |
| 9 | P0W | passive | Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal; the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry both positive and negative current. |
| 10 | P0B | passive | Potentiometer 0 terminal B (zero scale); the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry both positive and negative current. |
| 11 | WP | input | Hardware EEPROM write protect input used to force the non-volatile memory into write protection. |
| 12 | SHDN | input | Hardware shutdown input that forces the resistor network terminals into the hardware shutdown state; it is a high-voltage tolerant Schmitt-trigger input. |
| 13 | SDO | output | SPI serial data output, an open-drain output using the internal smart pull-up, which allows the host to read the registers or monitor the command error bit. |
| 14 | VDD | power_in | Positive power supply input relative to VSS; below the 2.7V minimum the electrical performance may not meet the data sheet specifications. |
