Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · TSSOP-14

MCP4661T-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 Address 0 input latched at POR/BOR for the I2C address, and the High Voltage command pin (a VIHH level selects a High Voltage command); digital inputs are high-voltage tolerant up to 12.5V.
2 SCL input I2C serial clock input that accepts only external clock signals from the host controller, with high-voltage tolerant Schmitt-trigger input up to 12.5V.
3 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data pin, an open-drain N-channel driver connected to the host controller SDA.
4 VSS power_in Device ground reference; all voltages on the device pins are referenced to VSS.
5 P1B passive Potentiometer 1 terminal B, fixed connection to the zero-scale wiper value (0x00); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
6 P1W passive Potentiometer 1 wiper terminal, which can carry positive and negative current; its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
7 P1A passive Potentiometer 1 terminal A, fixed connection to the full-scale wiper value (0x100 for 8-bit devices); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
8 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 terminal A, fixed connection to the full-scale wiper value (0x100 for 8-bit devices); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
9 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal, which can carry positive and negative current; its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
10 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 terminal B, fixed connection to the zero-scale wiper value (0x00); its voltage must be between VSS and VDD.
11 NC unconnected No connection; the datasheet states this pin should be connected to VDD or VSS.
12 A2 input I2C Address 2 input which, with A1 and A0, selects one of up to eight devices on a single I2C bus; high-voltage tolerant input.
13 A1 input I2C Address 1 input which, with A2 and A0, selects one of up to eight devices on a single I2C bus; high-voltage tolerant input.
14 VDD power_in Positive power supply input relative to VSS; device characteristics are specified for 2.7V to 5.5V, and performance may not meet the data sheet specifications below 2.7V.
