MCP4651-503E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · TSSOP-14

MCP4651-503E 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 HVC/A0 input High-voltage tolerant (up to 12.5V) Schmitt-trigger input with smart pull-up that latches the Address 0 bit at POR/BOR and, at VIHH, marks an I2C command as a High Voltage command.
2 SCL input I2C serial clock input from the host controller; the device is a slave, so it accepts only external clock signals.
3 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data input/output with an open-drain N-channel driver, connected to the host controller SDA.
4 VSS power_in Device ground reference.
5 P1B passive Potentiometer 1 terminal B, the fixed zero-scale connection (wiper value 0x00); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
6 P1W passive Potentiometer 1 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal; its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
7 P1A passive Potentiometer 1 terminal A, the fixed full-scale connection (0x100 for 8-bit devices); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
8 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 terminal A, the fixed full-scale connection (0x100 for 8-bit devices); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
9 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal; its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
10 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 terminal B, the fixed zero-scale connection (wiper value 0x00); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
11 NC unconnected No connection per the pinout table; the pin description says it should be connected to VDD or VSS.
12 A2 input High-voltage tolerant Schmitt-trigger input with smart pull-up for I2C Address 2, which with A1 and A0 allows up to eight devices on one bus.
13 A1 input High-voltage tolerant Schmitt-trigger input with smart pull-up for I2C Address 1, which with A2 and A0 allows up to eight devices on one bus.
14 VDD power_in Positive power supply input relative to VSS; device operation 1.8V to 5.5V, characteristics specified 2.7V to 5.5V.
