The MCP401X family (MCP4017, MCP4018, MCP4019) of I2C™ digital potentiometers are the low-power 7-bit devices feature static current consumption of just 2.5 microamperes and are specified over the extended industrial temperature range of -40 to 125 degrees Celsius. They are available in 5- and 6-pin SC-70 packages. The MCP401X devices can be controlled digitally, through an I2C interface. This eliminates the need for human interaction, which increases system reliability, accuracy, flexibility and manufacturing throughput while decreasing manufacturing costs. Key consumer and industrial applications for the MCP401X digital potentiometers include power-supply trim and calibration, set-point and process control, closed-loop servo control, PC peripherals, portable instrumentation, instrumentation offset adjust and signal conditioning…
