MCP45HV51T-502E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · TSSOP-14

MCP45HV51T-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), input-only since the device is an I2C slave, connected to the host controller's SCL.
3 A1 input I2C address bit 1 input (Schmitt trigger) which together with A0 allows up to four devices on one I2C bus.
4 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data input/output (Schmitt trigger), open-drain N-channel driver used to read and write the Wiper and TCON registers.
5 A0 input I2C address bit 0 input (Schmitt trigger) whose value is latched at POR/BOR and which together with A1 completes the device address.
6 WLAT input Wiper latch enable input: 0 transfers the received shift register value to the Wiper register, 1 holds the received value in the buffer, allowing synchronization to an external event such as zero crossing.
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 of the device.
10 V- power_in Analog negative potential supply, which must be lower than or equal to the DGND potential.
11 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 Terminal B, the fixed connection to zero-scale wiper value (0x00), non-polarized, with voltage required to be between V+ and V-.
12 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal, non-polarized, supporting positive and negative current, with voltage required to be between V+ and V-.
13 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 Terminal A, the fixed connection to full-scale wiper value (0xFF for 8-bit), non-polarized, with voltage required to be between V+ and V-.
14 V+ power_in Analog positive potential supply, which must be at a higher potential than V-, with a maximum of +36V.
