MCP4161-103E/P, Digital Potentiometer 10kΩ 257-Position Linear Serial-SPI 8 Pin, PDIP

MCP414x/416x/424x/426x Digital Potentiometers. The Microchip MCP413x, MCP415x, MCP423x and MCP425x range of devices are Digital Potentiometers with a SPI interface and EEPROM memory. Featured is WiperLock Technology, providing a method of ‘locking ‘ the wiper configuration. To unlock a high-voltage command is required (>8.5 V), protecting the setting during normal operation. 7-bit (129 steps) and 8-bit (257 steps) versions are available in various R ;sub>AB ;/sub> resistance options from 5 kΩ to 100 kΩ. Further variants also give the choice between Rheostat and Potentiometer pinouts, Single and Dual Resistor Network options are also available. Features. Zero Scale to Full-Scale Wiper Operation Low Wiper Resistance: 75 Ω (typical) Low Temperature Coefficient: Absolute (Rheostat) 50 ppm, Ratiometric (Potentiometer) 15 ppm (typical) Automatic Recall of Saved Wiper Setting WiperLock Technology SPI Serial Interface Resistor Network Terminal Disconnect Feature Brown-Out Reset Protection: 1.5 V (typical) Serial Interface Inactive Current: 2.5 μA (typical) High-Voltage Tolerant Digital Inputs: Up to 12.5 V Supports Split Rail Applications Internal Weak Pull-Up on all Digital Inputs Wide Operating Voltage: 1.8 V to 5.5 V Wide Bandwidth (-3 dB) Operation: 2 MHz for 5.0 kΩ device (typical).
