MCP1501-20E

Microchip Tech · Voltage Reference · SOIC-8

MCP1501-20E from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. 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 OUT output Buffered V_REF output. Sources/sinks up to 20 mA (30 mA absolute max). Nominal 2.048V for the MCP1501-20 variant. In the SOT-23 package the internal feedback connection is made on-die; the output driver is tristated in shutdown.
2 GND power_in System ground / power supply return. Must be tied to system ground.
3 GND power_in System ground / power supply return. Must be tied to system ground.
4 SHDN input Active-low shutdown digital input. Drive low to place the device in shutdown (output tristated). Device must be fully powered up before SHDN is asserted. Drive high (up to V_DD) for normal operation.
5 GND power_in System ground / power supply return. Must be tied to system ground.
6 VDD power_in Power supply input, 2.25V to 5.5V for the MCP1501-20 variant (absolute max 5.5V). Recommend a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor placed very close to this pin. Also serves as the internal reference input rail.
