MCP41050-E/P Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MCP41050-E/P from Microchip Technology is a 256-position digital potentiometer with a nominal resistance of 50kΩ. This single-channel device utilizes an industry-standard SPI serial interface for control, supporting modes 0,0 and 1,1. It offers ±1 LSB maximum Integral Non-Linearity (INL) and Digital Non-Linearity (DNL).

 

Designed for flexibility, the MCP41050-E/P operates from a single supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V. It consumes a maximum of 1µA in static operation, making it suitable for low-power applications. The device is specified for an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

 

Packaged in an 8-pin PDIP, the MCP41050-E/P is designed for through-hole mounting. Its linear taper and volatile memory type provide essential functionality for various control and adjustment applications. The wiper position is reset to mid-scale upon power-up.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a typical temperature coefficient of 800ppm/°C and a tolerance of ±30%. The device is configured as a potentiometer and offers a hardware reset pin for convenience.
