MCP41050-I/P Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MCP41050-I/P from Microchip Technology is a 256-position digital potentiometer designed for various control applications. It offers a nominal resistance of 50kΩ with a linear taper and a tolerance of ±30%. This single-channel 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.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum INL and DNL of ±1 LSB and a low maximum supply current of 1 µA in static operation. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial applications. The device is packaged in an 8-pin PDIP and is designed for through-hole mounting.

 

This digital potentiometer is ideal for applications requiring adjustable resistance or voltage division where digital control is preferred. Its volatile memory type means settings are lost on power-up, and the wiper resets to mid-scale. The device also includes a hardware reset pin for convenience.
