MCP41050-E/SN Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Microchip Technology MCP41050-E/SN is a single-channel digital potentiometer offering 256 discrete resistance steps. It provides a nominal resistance of 50 kΩ and a linear taper.

 

This device utilizes an industry-standard SPI serial interface for control, supporting modes 0,0 and 1,1. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V and is specified for an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

 

The MCP41050-E/SN is available in an 8-pin SOIC package, designed for surface mount applications. Its low power consumption, with a maximum supply current of 1 µA in static operation, makes it suitable for power-sensitive designs. The device also includes features like ±1 LSB maximum INL and DNL, contributing to its accuracy.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a typical temperature coefficient of 800ppm/°C and a tolerance of ±30%. The wiper position is reset to mid-scale upon power-up, and a hardware reset pin is available.
