MCP4017T-502E

Microchip Tech · Digital Potentiometers · SC-70-6

MCP4017T-502E from Microchip Tech, in a SC-70-6. 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 VDD power_in Positive supply voltage. 1.8 V to 5.5 V for device operation; analog characteristics specified 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Must be decoupled to VSS.
2 VSS power_in Device ground / negative supply reference.
3 SCL input I2C serial clock input. Schmitt-trigger input; supports 100 kHz standard mode and 400 kHz fast mode. Requires external pull-up (voltage on SCL may be up to 12.5 V absolute max relative to VSS).
4 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data line. Open-drain bidirectional; VOL <= 0.4 V at IOL = 3 mA (VDD >= 2.0 V). Requires external pull-up (up to 12.5 V absolute max relative to VSS).
5 B passive Resistor network terminal B. Analog terminal of the internal resistor network; voltage must remain within VSS to VDD. Maximum terminal current 2.5 mA. In the rheostat MCP4017 the B terminal is one end of the RAB string.
6 A/W passive Resistor network terminal A tied to wiper W (rheostat configuration). Voltage must remain within VSS to VDD; maximum terminal current 2.5 mA. Wiper resistance ~100 Ohm typical (170 Ohm max at VDD = 5.5 V, code = 00h).
