MCP45HV51-502E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · TSSOP-14

MCP45HV51-502E 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 VL power_in Positive digital power supply input, relative to DGND, ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V, with a decoupling capacitor to DGND recommended.
2 SCL input I2C serial clock input (Schmitt trigger); the device is an I2C client so this pin is input-only.
3 A1 input I2C address bit 1 input (Schmitt trigger); with A0 allows up to four devices on one I2C bus.
4 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data input/output (Schmitt trigger) with an open-drain N-channel driver.
5 A0 input I2C address bit 0 input (Schmitt trigger), latched at POR/BOR.
6 WLAT input Wiper latch enable input: 0 transfers the received I2C shift-register value to the Wiper register, 1 holds the received value in the shift register buffer.
7 NC unconnected Not internally connected to the die; connect to DGND or VL to reduce noise coupling.
8 SHDN input Shutdown input (Schmitt trigger) that forces the resistor network terminals into the hardware shutdown state.
9 DGND power_in Digital ground reference for the device.
10 V- power_in Analog negative supply; its potential must be lower than or equal to the DGND potential.
11 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 Terminal B (zero-scale wiper end, code 0x00); no polarity, voltage must be between V+ and V-.
12 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal; no polarity, voltage must be between V+ and V-.
13 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 Terminal A (full-scale wiper end, 0xFF for 8-bit); no polarity, voltage must be between V+ and V-.
14 V+ power_in Analog positive supply, which must be at a higher potential than the V- pin.
