Digital Potentiometers

MCP4011-502E/SN Description

The MCP4011-502E/SN from Microchip Technology is a 5kΩ digital potentiometer designed for precision analog signal adjustment in modern electronic circuits. This 64-tap, linear-taper device offers volatile memory and operates within a 1.8V to 5.5V supply range, making it suitable for low-power and battery-operated applications. Housed in an 8-SOIC package, it features a compact surface-mount design, ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts. With a ±20% tolerance and a 150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it ensures stable performance across varying environmental conditions. The Up/Down (U/D, CS) interface simplifies digital control, while the 70Ω typical wiper resistance minimizes signal distortion.

MCP4011-502E/SN Features
