MCP4561-103E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · MSOP-8

MCP4561-103E 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-tolerant (up to 12.5V) Schmitt-trigger input that serves as I2C Address 0, latched at POR/BOR, and as the High Voltage Command pin when driven to VIHH.
2 SCL input I2C serial clock input from the host controller; the device is a slave and accepts only external clock signals, with a high-voltage-tolerant Schmitt-trigger input.
3 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data input/output with an open-drain N-channel driver and a high-voltage-tolerant Schmitt-trigger input.
4 VSS power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 Terminal A, the fixed full-scale connection (wiper code 0x100 for 8-bit); it has no polarity relative to W or B and its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
6 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal; it has no polarity, supports positive and negative current, and its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
7 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 Terminal B, the fixed zero-scale connection (wiper code 0x00); it has no polarity, supports positive and negative current, and its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
8 VDD power_in Positive power supply input relative to VSS; characteristics are specified from 2.7V to 5.5V and the device operates from 1.8V to 5.5V.
