MCP42050T-E/ST Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Microchip Technology MCP42050T-E/ST is a dual-channel digital potentiometer from the MCP41XXX/42XXX series. It offers 256 discrete tap positions for precise resistance control, with a nominal resistance value of 50 kΩ. The device utilizes an industry-standard SPI serial interface for control, supporting modes 0,0 and 1,1.

 

Designed for flexibility, this digital potentiometer operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V. It features a linear taper and a tolerance of ±30%. The operating temperature range is specified from -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for industrial applications. The typical temperature coefficient is 800ppm/°C.

 

Packaged in a 14-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width) surface-mount configuration, the MCP42050T-E/ST includes a cascade pin feature. It is a volatile memory type, meaning its settings are not retained upon power loss. The device also supports hardware shutdown functionality on the MCP42XXX series.
