MCP4261-104E/ML Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Microchip Technology MCP4261-104E/ML is a dual-channel digital potentiometer IC designed for various control applications. It offers a high resolution of 257 steps (8-bit) across a 100 kΩ resistance range, with a linear taper.

 

This device features an SPI serial interface for high-speed read/write operations to wiper and data EEPROM registers. It supports a wide operating voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V and operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The low wiper resistance of 75 Ω typical and a temperature coefficient of 15 ppm/°C (typical, ratiometric) make it suitable for precise adjustments.

 

Key features include non-volatile memory for automatic recall of saved wiper settings and WiperLock™ Technology for securing calibration settings. The MCP4261-104E/ML is available in a compact 16-QFN (4x4) package, suitable for surface mounting.

 

This digital potentiometer is ideal for applications requiring adjustable voltage dividers, gain control, or other variable resistance functions where digital control is preferred. Its dual-channel configuration allows for independent control of two separate resistance networks.
