MCP4641-103E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · TSSOP-14

MCP4641-103E 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 at VIHH.
2 SCL input I2C serial clock input from the host; the device is a slave and accepts only external clock signals.
3 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data I/O with an open-drain N-channel output driver.
4 VSS power_in Device ground reference.
5 P1B passive Potentiometer 1 terminal B, the fixed zero-scale connection (wiper 0x00); voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
6 P1W passive Potentiometer 1 wiper terminal; voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
7 P1A passive Potentiometer 1 terminal A, the fixed full-scale connection; voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
8 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 terminal A, the fixed full-scale connection; voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
9 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal; voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
10 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 terminal B, the fixed zero-scale connection (wiper 0x00); voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
11 NC unconnected No connection per the pin table; the pin description says these pins should be connected to either VDD or VSS.
12 A2 input High-voltage-tolerant Schmitt-trigger I2C Address 2 input; with A1 and A0 allows up to eight devices on one I2C bus.
13 A1 input High-voltage-tolerant Schmitt-trigger I2C Address 1 input; with A2 and A0 allows up to eight devices on one I2C bus.
14 VDD power_in Positive power supply input relative to VSS; specified 2.7V to 5.5V (device operation 1.8V to 5.5V).
