MCP4631T-103E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · TSSOP-14

MCP4631T-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 Address 0 input for the I2C interface, latched at POR/BOR, that also serves as the High Voltage command pin (HVC/A0 = VIHH selects a High Voltage command instead of a normal command).
2 SCL input I2C serial clock input; the device is a slave and its SCL pin accepts only external clock signals from the host controller.
3 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data pin, an open-drain N-channel driver connected to the host controller SDA line.
4 VSS power_in Device ground reference; the input supply is referenced to this pin.
5 P1B passive Potentiometer 1 terminal B, the fixed connection to the zero-scale wiper value (0x00); the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry positive or negative current.
6 P1W passive Potentiometer 1 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal of the digital potentiometer; the voltage must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry positive or negative current.
7 P1A passive Potentiometer 1 terminal A, the fixed connection to the full-scale wiper value (0x80 for 7-bit devices); the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD.
8 P0A passive Potentiometer 0 terminal A, the fixed connection to the full-scale wiper value (0x80 for 7-bit devices); the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD.
9 P0W passive Potentiometer 0 wiper terminal, the adjustable terminal of the digital potentiometer; the voltage must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry positive or negative current.
10 P0B passive Potentiometer 0 terminal B, the fixed connection to the zero-scale wiper value (0x00); the voltage on this terminal must be between VSS and VDD and it can carry positive or negative current.
11 NC unconnected No connection; the datasheet states this pin should be connected to either VDD or VSS.
12 A2 input I2C interface Address 2 pin; together with A1 and A0 it allows up to eight devices on a single I2C bus.
13 A1 input I2C interface Address 1 pin; together with A2 and A0 it allows up to eight devices on a single I2C bus.
14 VDD power_in Positive power supply input referenced to VSS; the electrical performance may not meet the data sheet specifications while VDD is below Vmin (2.7V).
