The Microchip Technology MCP4242-502E/UN is a dual-channel digital potentiometer designed for various applications requiring adjustable resistance. It offers a nominal resistance of 5kΩ with 129 discrete steps, providing fine control.
This device utilizes an SPI serial interface for communication, supporting high-speed read and write operations to its registers. It is configurable as a rheostat and features non-volatile memory for storing wiper settings, along with WiperLock™ Technology to secure calibration settings. The operating voltage range is from 1.8V to 5.5V, and it operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
The MCP4242-502E/UN is supplied in a compact 10-MSOP package, suitable for surface mount applications. Its tolerance is ±20%, with a typical wiper resistance of 75Ω and a temperature coefficient of 150ppm/°C. The device also includes features like brown-out reset protection and high-voltage tolerant digital inputs.
This digital potentiometer is ideal for applications such as automatic gain control, sensor signal conditioning, and programmable voltage or current sources where precise and stable resistance adjustment is needed.
