MCP4532-502E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · MSOP-8

MCP4532-502E from Microchip Tech, in a MSOP-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 HVC/A0 input High-voltage command input and I2C Address 0 pin, latched at POR/BOR, which selects a normal or High Voltage command when at VIHH and allows up to eight devices on one bus.
2 SCL input I2C serial clock input from the host controller; the device is a slave and accepts only external clock signals.
3 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data I/O connected to the host controller, with an open-drain N-channel output driver.
4 VSS power_in Device ground reference.
5 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal (adjustable terminal) that supports positive and negative current, with its voltage kept between VSS and VDD.
6 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 terminal B, the fixed zero-scale connection (wiper value 0x00) that supports positive and negative current, with its voltage kept between VSS and VDD.
7 A1 input I2C Address 1 input that, with the A2 and A0 pins, allows up to eight devices on one I2C bus.
8 VDD power_in Positive power supply input relative to VSS; electrical specifications are only guaranteed from 2.7V, and the device operates from 1.8V to 5.5V.
