MCP41100T-I

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · SOIC-8-150mil

MCP41100T-I from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8-150mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CS input Chip Select input for SPI serial interface; command execution occurs on rising edge after 16 clocks have been loaded; Schmitt Trigger input with VIH = 0.7VDD and VIL = 0.3VDD.
2 SCK input Serial Clock input for SPI interface; data is clocked into SI on the rising edge and out on the falling edge; maximum frequency 10 MHz; gated to CS pin; Schmitt Trigger input.
3 SI input Serial Data Input for SPI interface; command and data bytes are clocked into the 16-bit shift register on rising edge of SCK; gated to CS pin; Schmitt Trigger input.
4 VSS power_in Ground; negative supply terminal at 0V reference potential.
5 PA0 passive Potentiometer Terminal A for single channel; accepts voltage from 0V to VDD; one end of 100 kΩ resistor network with no polarity restrictions relative to PB0 and PW0.
6 PW0 passive Potentiometer Wiper for single channel; voltage output from 0V to VDD; position controlled by 8-bit data register allowing 256 tap positions; maximum wiper current ±1 mA.
7 PB0 passive Potentiometer Terminal B for single channel; accepts voltage from 0V to VDD; connects to wiper at code 00h (minimum resistance state); no polarity restrictions relative to PA0 and PW0.
8 VDD power_in Positive power supply; operating voltage range 2.7V to 5.5V; recommended 0.1 µF bypass capacitor placed close to pin.
