MCP4661-104E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · TSSOP-14

MCP4661-104E 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 serving 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; the device is a slave so it accepts only external clock signals (high-voltage tolerant, Schmitt trigger).
3 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data input/output with an open-drain N-channel driver, connected to the host SDA (high-voltage tolerant, Schmitt trigger).
4 VSS power_in Device ground reference.
5 P1B passive Potentiometer 1 terminal B, the fixed Zero-Scale connection (wiper value 0x00); voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
6 P1W passive Potentiometer 1 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal; voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
7 P1A passive Potentiometer 1 terminal A, the fixed Full-Scale connection (0x100 for 8-bit); voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
8 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 terminal A, the fixed Full-Scale connection (0x100 for 8-bit); voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
9 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal; voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
10 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 terminal B, the fixed Zero-Scale connection (wiper value 0x00); voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
11 NC unconnected No connection; the datasheet says NC pins should be connected to either VDD or VSS.
12 A2 input I2C Address 2 input (high-voltage tolerant, Schmitt trigger) which with A1 and A0 allows up to eight devices on one I2C bus.
13 A1 input I2C Address 1 input (high-voltage tolerant, Schmitt trigger) which with A2 and A0 allows up to eight devices on one I2C bus.
14 VDD power_in Positive power supply input relative to VSS; specifications are guaranteed for 2.7V to 5.5V, with operation from 1.8V to 5.5V.
