P = Power
The 8-lead Single Potentiometer devices are pin limited so the SDO pin is multiplexed with the SDI pin
(SDI/SDO pin). After the Address/Command (first 6-bits) are received, If a valid Read command has been
requested, the SDO pin starts driving the requested read data onto the SDI/SDO pin.
The pin’s “smart” pull-up shuts off while the pin is forced low. This is done to reduce the standby and
shutdown current.
The SDO is an open drain output, which uses the internal “smart” pull-up. The SDI input data rate can be
at the maximum SPI frequency. the SDO output data rate will be limited by the “speed” of the pull-up,
customers can increase the rate with external pull-up resistors.
The DFN and QFN packages have a contact on the bottom of the package. This contact is conductively
connected to the die substrate, and therefore should be unconnected or connected to the same ground as
the device’s VSS pin.

MCP413X/415X/423X/425X
3.1
Chip Select (CS)
The CS pin is the serial interface’s chip select input.
Forcing the CS pin to VIL enables the serial commands.
Forcing the CS pin to VIHH enables the high-voltage
serial commands.
3.2
Serial Data In (SDI)
The SDI pin is the serial interfaces Serial Data In pin.
This pin is connected to the Host Controllers SDO pin.
3.3
Serial Data In / Serial Data Out
(SDI/SDO)
On the MCP41X1 devices, pin-out limitations do not
allow for individual SDI and SDO pins. On these
devices, the SDI and SDO pins are multiplexed.
The MCP41X1 serial interface knows when the pin
needs to change from being an input (SDI) to being an
output (SDO). The Host Controller’s SDO pin must be
properly protected from a drive conflict.
3.4
Ground (VSS)
The VSS pin is the device ground reference.
3.5
Potentiometer Terminal B
The terminal B pin is connected to the internal
potentiometer’s terminal B.
The potentiometer’s terminal B is the fixed connection
to the Zero Scale wiper value of the digital
potentiometer. This corresponds to a wiper value of
0x00 for both 7-bit and 8-bit devices.
3.7
Potentiometer Terminal A
The terminal A pin is available on the MCP4XX1
devices, and is connected to the internal
potentiometer’s terminal A.
The potentiometer’s terminal A is the fixed connection
to the Full-Scale wiper value of the digital
potentiometer. This corresponds to a wiper value of
0x100 for 8-bit devices or 0x80 for 7-bit devices.
The terminal A pin does not have a polarity relative to
the terminal W or B pins. The terminal A pin can
support both positive and negative current. The voltage
on terminal A must be between VSS and VDD.
The terminal A pin is not available on the MCP4XX2
devices, and the internally terminal A signal is floating.
MCP42X1 devices have two terminal A pins, one for
each resistor network.
3.8
Shutdown (SHDN)
The SHDN pin is used to force the resistor network
terminals into the hardware shutdown state.
3.9
Serial Data Out (SDO)
The SDO pin is the serial interfaces Serial Data Out pin.
This pin is connected to the Host Controllers SDI pin.
This pin allows the Host Controller to read the digital
potentiometers registers, or monitor the state of the
command error bit.
3.10
Positive Power Supply Input (VDD)
The VDD pin is the device’s positive power supply input.
The input power supply is relative to VSS.
The terminal B pin does not have a polarity relative to
the terminal W or A pins. The terminal B pin can
support both positive and negative current. The voltage
on terminal B must be between VSS and VDD.
While the device VDD < Vmin (2.7V), the electrical
performance of the device may not meet the data sheet
specifications.
MCP42XX devices have two terminal B pins, one for
each resistor network.
3.11
3.6
These pins are not internally connected and should be
either connected to VDD or VSS to reduce possible
noise coupling.
Potentiometer Wiper (W) Terminal
The terminal W pin is connected to the internal
potentiometer’s terminal W (the wiper). The wiper
terminal is the adjustable terminal of the digital
potentiometer. The terminal W pin does not have a
polarity relative to terminals A or B pins. The terminal
W pin can support both positive and negative current.
The voltage on terminal W must be between VSS and
VDD.
MCP42XX devices have two terminal W pins, one for
each resistor network.
DS22060B-page 32

No Connection (NC)
Exposed Pad (EP)
This pad is conductively connected to the device's
substrate. This pad should be tied to the same potential
as the VSS pin (or left unconnected). This pad could be
used to assist as a heat sink for the device when
connected to a PCB heat sink.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
4.1.2
BROWN-OUT RESET
This Data Sheet covers a family of thirty-two Digital
Potentiometer and Rheostat devices that will be
referred to as MCP4XXX. The MCP4XX1 devices are
the Potentiometer configuration, while the MCP4XX2
devices are the Rheostat configuration.
When the device powers down, the device VDD will
cross the VPOR/VBOR voltage.
As the Device Block Diagram shows, there are four
main functional blocks. These are:
If the VDD voltage decreases below the VRAM voltage
the following happens:
•
•
•
•
• Volatile wiper registers may become corrupted
• TCON register may become corrupted
POR/BOR Operation
Memory Map
Resistor Network
Serial Interface (SPI)
The POR/BOR operation and the Memory Map are
discussed in this section and the Resistor Network and
SPI operation are described in their own sections. The
Device Commands commands are discussed in
Section 7.0.
4.1
POR/BOR Operation
The Power-on Reset is the case where the device is
having power applied to it from VSS. The Brown-out
Reset occurs when a device had power applied to it,
and that power (voltage) drops below the specified
range.
The devices RAM retention voltage (VRAM) is lower
than the POR/BOR voltage trip point (VPOR/VBOR). The
maximum VPOR/VBOR voltage is less then 1.8V.
When VPOR/VBOR < VDD < 2.7V, the electrical
performance may not meet the data sheet
specifications. In this region, the device is capable of
incrementing, decrementing, reading and writing to its
volatile memory if the proper serial command is
executed.
4.1.1
POWER-ON RESET
When the device powers up, the device VDD will cross
the VPOR/VBOR voltage. Once the VDD voltage crosses
the VPOR/VBOR voltage the following happens:
• Volatile wiper register is loaded with the default
wiper value
• The TCON register is loaded it’s default value
• The device is capable of digital operation
© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
Once the VDD voltage decreases below the VPOR/VBOR
voltage the following happens:
• Serial Interface is disabled
As the voltage recovers above the VPOR/VBOR voltage
see Section 4.1.1 “Power-on Reset”.
Serial commands not completed due to a brown-out
condition may cause the memory location to become
corrupted.
4.2
Memory Map
The device memory is 16 locations that are 9-bits wide
(16x9 bits). This memory space contains four volatile
locations (see Table 4-1).

Terminal Control (TCON) Register
This register contains 8 control bits. Four bits are for
Wiper 0, and four bits are for Wiper 1. Register 4-2
describes each bit of the TCON register.
The state of each resistor network terminal connection
is individually controlled. That is, each terminal
connection (A, B and W) can be individually connected/
disconnected from the resistor network. This allows the
system to minimize the currents through the digital
potentiometer.
The value that is written to this register will appear on
the resistor network terminals when the serial
command has completed.
On a POR/BOR this register is loaded with 1FFh
(9-bits), for all terminals connected. The Host
Controller needs to detect the POR/BOR event and
then update the Volatile TCON register value.

RESISTOR NETWORK
5.1
The Resistor Network has either 7-bit or 8-bit
resolution. Each Resistor Network allows zero scale to
full-scale connections. Figure 5-1 shows a block
diagram for the resistive network of a device.
The Resistor Network is made up of several parts.
These include:
• Resistor Ladder
• Wiper
• Shutdown (Terminal Connections)
Devices have either one or two resistor networks,
These are referred to as Pot 0 and Pot 1.
A
RW
RS
RW
R
RAB S
The resistor ladder is a series of equal value resistors
(RS) with a connection point (tap) between the two
resistors. The total number of resistors in the series
(ladder) determines the RAB resistance (see
Figure 5-1). The end points of the resistor ladder are
connected to analog switches which are connected to
the device Terminal A and Terminal B pins. The RAB
(and RS) resistance has small variations over voltage
and temperature.
For an 8-bit device, there are 256 resistors in a string
between terminal A and terminal B. The wiper can be
set to tap onto any of these 256 resistors thus providing
257 possible settings (including terminal A and
terminal B).

For a 7-bit device, there are 128 resistors in a string
between terminal A and terminal B. The wiper can be
set to tap onto any of these 128 resistors thus providing
129 possible settings (including terminal A and
terminal B).

Note 1:
The wiper resistance is dependent on
several factors including, wiper code,
device VDD, Terminal voltages (on A, B,
and W), and temperature.
Also for the same conditions, each tap
selection resistance has a small variation.
This RW variation has greater effects on
some specifications (such as INL) for the
smaller resistance devices (5.0 kΩ)
compared to larger resistance devices
(100.0 kΩ).

A value in the volatile wiper register selects which
analog switch to close, connecting the W terminal to
the selected node of the resistor ladder.
The wiper can connect directly to Terminal B or to
Terminal A. A zero-scale connections, connects the
Terminal W (wiper) to Terminal B (wiper setting of
000h). A full-scale connections, connects the Terminal
W (wiper) to Terminal A (wiper setting of 100h or 80h).
In these configurations the only resistance between the
Terminal W and the other Terminal (A or B) is that of the
analog switches.

Shutdown
5.3.2
Shutdown is used to minimize the device’s current
consumption. The MCP4XXX has two methods to
achieve this. These are:
• Hardware Shutdown Pin (SHDN)
• Terminal Control Register (TCON)
The Hardware Shutdown pin is backwards compatible
with the MCP42XXX devices.
5.3.1
HARDWARE SHUTDOWN PIN
(SHDN)
The SHDN pin is available on the dual potentiometer
devices. When the SHDN pin is forced active (VIL):
The Terminal Control (TCON) register is a volatile
register used to configure the connection of each
resistor network terminal pin (A, B, and W) to the
Resistor Network. This register is shown in
Register 4-2.
The RxHW bits forces the selected resistor network
into the same state as the SHDN pin. Alternate
low-power configurations may be achieved with the
RxA, RxW, and RxB bits.
Note:
• The P0A and P1A terminals are disconnected
• The P0W and P1W terminals are simultaneously
connect to the P0B and P1B terminals,
respectively (see Figure 5-2)
• The Serial Interface is NOT disabled, and all
Serial Interface activity is executed
The Hardware Shutdown pin mode does NOT corrupt
the values in the Volatile Wiper Registers nor the
TCON register. When the Shutdown mode is exited
(SHDN pin is inactive (VIH)):
• The device returns to the Wiper setting specified
by the Volatile Wiper value
• The TCON register bits return to controlling the
terminal connection state
Resistor Network
A
TERMINAL CONTROL REGISTER
(TCON)
5.3.3
When the RxHW bit forces the resistor
network into the hardware SHDN state,
the state of the TCON register RxA, RxW,
and RxB bits is overridden (ignored).
When the state of the RxHW bit no longer
forces the resistor network into the hardware SHDN state, the TCON register RxA,
RxW, and RxB bits return to controlling the
terminal connection state. In other words,
the RxHW bit does not corrupt the state of
the RxA, RxW, and RxB bits.
INTERACTION OF SHDN PIN AND
TCON REGISTER
Figure 5-3 shows how the SHDN pin signal and the
RxHW bit signal interact to control the hardware
shutdown of each resistor network (independently).
Using the TCON bits allows each resistor network (Pot
0 and Pot 1) to be individually “shutdown” while the
hardware pin forces both resistor networks to be “shutdown” at the same time.

SERIAL INTERFACE (SPI)
The MCP4XXX devices support the SPI serial protocol.
This SPI operates in the slave mode (does not
generate the serial clock).
The SPI interface uses up to four pins. These are:
•
•
•
•
CS - Chip Select
SCK - Serial Clock
SDI - Serial Data In
SDO - Serial Data Out
Typical SPI Interfaces are shown in Figure 6-1. In the
SPI interface, The Master’s Output pin is connected to
the Slave’s Input pin and the Master’s Input pin is
connected to the Slave’s Output pin.
The MCP4XXX SPI’s module supports two (of the four)
standard SPI modes. These are Mode 0,0 and 1,1.
The SPI mode is determined by the state of the SCK
pin (VIH or VIL) on the when the CS pin transitions from
inactive (VIH) to active (VIL or VIHH).
All SPI interface signals are high-voltage tolerant.

SDI, SDO, SCK, and CS Operation
The operation of the four SPI interface pins are
discussed in this section. These pins are:
•
•
•
•
SDI (Serial Data In)
SDO (Serial Data Out)
SCK (Serial Clock)
CS (Chip Select)
6.1.3
Note:
SDI/SDO
MCP41X1 Devices Only .
For device packages that do not have enough pins for
both an SDI and SDO pin, the SDI and SDO
functionality is multiplexed onto a single I/O pin called
SDI/SDO.
The serial interface works on either 8-bit or 16-bit
boundaries depending on the selected command. The
Chip Select (CS) pin frames the SPI commands.
The SDO will only be driven for the command error bit
(CMDERR) and during the data bits of a read command
(after the memory address and command has been
received).
6.1.1
6.1.3.1
SERIAL DATA IN (SDI)
The Serial Data In (SDI) signal is the data signal into
the device. The value on this pin is latched on the rising
edge of the SCK signal.
6.1.2
SERIAL DATA OUT (SDO)
The Serial Data Out (SDO) signal is the data signal out
of the device. The value on this pin is driven on the
falling edge of the SCK signal.
Once the CS pin is forced to the active level (VIL or
VIHH), the SDO pin will be driven. The state of the SDO
pin is determined by the serial bit’s position in the
command, the command selected, and if there is a
command error state (CMDERR).
SDI/SDO Operation
Figure 6-2 shows a block diagram of the SDI/SDO pin.
The SDI signal has an internal “smart” pull-up. The
value of this pull-up determines the frequency that data
can be read from the device. An external pull-up can be
added to the SDI/SDO pin to improve the rise time and
therefore improve the frequency that data can be read.
Note:
To support the High voltage requirement of
the SDI function, the SDO function is an
open drain output.
Data written on the SDI/SDO pin can be at the
maximum SPI frequency.
Note:
Care must be take to ensure that a Drive
conflict does not exist between the Host
Controllers SDO pin (or software SDI/SDO
pin) and the MCP41x1 SDI/SDO pin (see
Figure 6-1).
On the falling edge of the SCK pin during the C0 bit
(see Figure 7-1), the SDI/SDO pin will start outputting
the SDO value. The SDO signal overrides the control of
the smart pull-up, such that whenever the SDI/SDO pin
is outputting data, the smart pull-up is enabled.
The SDI/SDO pin will change from an input (SDI) to an
output (SDO) after the state machine has received the
Address and Command bits of the Command Byte. If
the command is a Read command, then the SDI/SDO
pin will remain an output for the remainder of the
command. For any other command, the SDI/SDO pin
returns to an input.

SERIAL CLOCK (SCK)
(SPI FREQUENCY OF OPERATION)
6.1.5
THE CS SIGNAL
The SPI interface is specified to operate up to 10 MHz.
The actual clock rate depends on the configuration of
the system and the serial command used. Table 6-1
shows the SCK frequency for different configurations.
The Chip Select (CS) signal is used to select the device
and frame a command sequence. To start a command,
or sequence of commands, the CS signal must
transition from the inactive state (VIH) to an active state
(VIL or VIHH).

After the CS signal has gone active, the SDO pin is
driven and the clock bit counter is reset.

2: This is the maximum clock frequency
without an external pull-up resistor.
Note:
There is a required delay after the CS pin
goes active to the 1st edge of the SCK pin.
If an error condition occurs for an SPI command, then
the Command byte’s Command Error (CMDERR) bit
(on the SDO pin) will be driven low (VIL). To exit the
error condition, the user must take the CS pin to the VIH
level.
When the CS pin returns to the inactive state (VIH) the
SPI module resets (including the address pointer).
While the CS pin is in the inactive state (VIH), the serial
interface is ignored. This allows the Host Controller to
interface to other SPI devices using the same SDI,
SDO, and SCK signals.
The CS pin has an internal pull-up resistor. The resistor
is disabled when the voltage on the CS pin is at the VIL
level. This means that when the CS pin is not driven,
the internal pull-up resistor will pull this signal to the VIH
level. When the CS pin is driven low (VIL), the
resistance becomes very large to reduce the device
current consumption.
The high voltage capability of the CS pin allows
MCP413X/415X/423X/425X devices to be used in
systems previously designed for the MCP414X/416X/
424X/426X devices.

6.2
The SPI Modes
6.3
The SPI module supports two (of the four) standard SPI
modes. These are Mode 0,0 and 1,1. The mode is
determined by the state of the SDI pin on the rising
edge of the 1st clock bit (of the 8-bit byte).
6.2.1
Figure 6-3 through Figure 6-8 show the different SPI
command waveforms. Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-4 are
read and write commands. Figure 6-5 and Figure 6-6
are read commands when the SDI and SDO pins are
multiplexed on the same pin (SDI/SDO). Figure 6-7
and Figure 6-8 are increment and decrement
commands.
MODE 0,0
In Mode 0,0: SCK idle state = low (VIL), data is clocked
in on the SDI pin on the rising edge of SCK and clocked
out on the SDO pin on the falling edge of SCK.
6.2.2
SPI Waveforms
MODE 1,1
In Mode 1,1: SCK idle state = high (VIH), data is

DEVICE COMMANDS

Command Byte
The Command Byte has three fields, the Address, the
Command, and 2 Data bits, see Figure 7-1. Currently
only one of the data bits is defined (D8). This is for the
Write command.
The MCP4XXX’s SPI command format supports 16
memory address locations and four commands. Each
command has two modes. These are:
• Normal Serial Commands
• High-Voltage Serial Commands
The device memory is accessed when the master
sends a proper Command Byte to select the desired
operation. The memory location getting accessed is
contained in the Command Byte’s AD3:AD0 bits. The
action desired is contained in the Command Byte’s
C1:C0 bits, see Table 7-1. C1:C0 determines if the
desired memory location will be read, written,
Incremented (wiper setting +1) or Decremented (wiper
setting -1). The Increment and Decrement commands
are only valid on the volatile wiper registers.
Normal serial commands are those where the CS pin is
driven to VIL. High Voltage Serial Commands, CS pin is
driven to VIHH, for compatibility with systems that also
support the MCP414X/416X/424X/426X devices. High
Voltage Serial Commands operate identically to their
corresponding Normal Serial Command. In each
mode, there are four possible commands. These
commands are shown in Table 7-1.
The 8-bit commands (Increment Wiper and Decrement Wiper commands) contain a Command Byte,
see Figure 7-1, while 16-bit commands (Read Data
and Write Data commands) contain a Command Byte
and a Data Byte. The Command Byte contains two data
bits, see Figure 7-1.
As the Command Byte is being loaded into the device
(on the SDI pin), the device’s SDO pin is driving. The
SDO pin will output high bits for the first six bits of that
command. On the 7th bit, the SDO pin will output the
CMDERR bit state (see Section 7.3 “Error Condition”). The 8th bit state depends on the the command
selected.
Table 7-2 shows the supported commands for each
memory location and the corresponding values on the
SDI and SDO pins.

Note 1:
2:
The Data Memory is only 9-bits wide, so the MSb is ignored by the device.
All these Address/Command combinations are valid, so the CMDERR bit is set. Any other Address/Command
combination is a command error state and the CMDERR bit will be clear.

MCP413X/415X/423X/425X
7.2
Data Byte
Only the Read Command and the Write Command use
the Data Byte, see Figure 7-1. These commands
concatenate the 8-bits of the Data Byte with the one
data bit (D8) contained in the Command Byte to form
9-bits of data (D8:D0). The Command Byte format
supports up to 9-bits of data so that the 8-bit resistor
network can be set to Full-Scale (100h or greater). This
allows wiper connections to Terminal A and to
Terminal B.
The D9 bit is currently unused, and corresponds to the
position on the SDO data of the CMDERR bit.
7.3
Error Condition
The CMDERR bit indicates if the four address bits
received (AD3:AD0) and the two command bits
received (C1:C0) are a valid combination (see
Table 4-1). The CMDERR bit is high if the combination
is valid and low if the combination is invalid.
SPI commands that do not have a multiple of 8 clocks
are ignored.
Once an error condition has occurred, any following
commands are ignored. All following SDO bits will be
low until the CMDERR condition is cleared by forcing
the CS pin to the inactive state (VIH).
© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
7.3.1
ABORTING A TRANSMISSION
All SPI transmissions must have the correct number of
SCK pulses to be executed. The command is not
executed until the complete number of clocks have
been received. If the CS pin is forced to the inactive
state (VIH) the serial interface is reset. Partial commands are not executed.
SPI is more susceptible to noise than other bus
protocols. The most likely case is that this noise
corrupts the value of the data being clocked into the
MCP4XXX or the SCK pin is injected with extra clock
pulses. This may cause data to be corrupted in the
device, or a command error to occur, since the address
and command bits were not a valid combination. The
extra SCK pulse will also cause the SPI data (SDI) and
clock (SCK) to be out of sync. Forcing the CS pin to the
inactive state (VIH) resets the serial interface. The SPI
interface will ignore activity on the SDI and SCK pins
until the CS pin transition to the active state is detected
(VIH to VIL or VIH to VIHH).
Note 1: When data is not being received by the
MCP4XXX, It is recommended that the
CS pin be forced to the inactive level (VIL)
2: It is also recommended that long
continuous command strings should be
broken down into single commands or
shorter continuous command strings.
This reduces the probability of noise on
the SCK pin corrupting the desired SPI
commands.
DS22060B-page 49
MCP413X/415X/423X/425X
7.4
Continuous Commands
The device supports the ability to execute commands
continuously. While the CS pin is in the active state
(VIL or VIHH). Any sequence of valid commands may be
received.
The following example is a valid sequence of events:
1.
2.
3.
4.

TABLE 7-3:
Note 1: It is recommended that while the CS pin is
active, only one type of command should
be issued. When changing commands, it
is recommended to take the CS pin
inactive then force it back to the active
state.
2: It is also recommended that long
command strings should be broken down
into shorter command strings. This
reduces the probability of noise on the
SCK pin corrupting the desired SPI
command string.

Write Data
Normal and High Voltage
Note:
7.5.1
The write operation requires that the CS pin be in the
active state (VILor VIHH). Typically, the CS pin will be in
the inactive state (VIH) and is driven to the active state
(VIL). The 16-bit Write Command (Command Byte and
Data Byte) is then clocked in on the SCK and SDI pins.
Once all 16 bits have been received, the specified
volatile address is updated. A write will not occur if the
write command isn’t exactly 16 clocks pulses. This
protects against system issues from corrupting the
memory locations.
The High Voltage Write Data command is
supported for compatability with system
that also support MCP414X/416X/424X/
426X devices.
The Write command is a 16-bit command. The format
of the command is shown in Figure 7-2.
A Write command to a Volatile memory location
changes that location after a properly formatted Write
Command (16-clock) have been received.

Read Data
Normal and High Voltage
Note:
7.6.1
The read operation requires that the CS pin be in the
active state (VILor VIHH). Typically, the CS pin will be in
the inactive state (VIH) and is driven to the active state
(VILor VIHH). The 16-bit Read Command (Command
Byte and Data Byte) is then clocked in on the SCK and
SDI pins. The SDO pin starts driving data on the 7th bit
(CMDERR bit) and the addressed data comes out on
the 8th through 16th clocks. Figure 6-3 through
Figure 6-6 show possible waveforms for a single read.
The High Voltage Read Data command is
supported for compatability with system
that also support MCP414X/416X/424X/
426X devices.
The Read command is a 16-bit command. The format
of the command is shown in Figure 7-4.
The first 6-bits of the Read command determine the
address and the command. The 7th clock will output
the CMDERR bit on the SDO pin. The remaining
9-clocks the device will transmit the 9 data bits (D8:D0)
of the specified address (AD3:AD0).
Figure 6-5 and Figure 6-6 show the single read
waveforms when the SDI and SDO signals are
multiplexed on the same pin. For additional information
on the multiplexing of these signals, refer to
Section 6.1.3 “SDI/SDO”.

The Increment Command is an 8-bit command. The
Increment Command can only be issued to wiper
memory locations. The format of the command is
shown in Figure 7-6.
An Increment Command to the wiper memory location
changes that location after a properly formatted

Increment commands provide a quick and easy
method to modify the value of the wiper location by +1
with minimal overhead.

7.7.1
SINGLE INCREMENT
Typically, the CS pin starts at the inactive state (VIH),
but may be already be in the active state due to the
completion of another command.
Figure 6-7 through Figure 6-8 show possible
waveforms for a single increment. The increment
operation requires that the CS pin be in the active state
(VILor VIHH). Typically, the CS pin will be in the inactive
state (VIH) and is driven to the active state (VILor VIHH).
The 8-bit Increment Command (Command Byte) is
then clocked in on the SDI pin by the SCK pins. The
SDO pin drives the CMDERR bit on the 7th clock.
The wiper value will increment up to 100h on 8-bit
devices and 80h on 7-bit devices. After the wiper value
has reached Full-Scale (8-bit =100h, 7-bit =80h), the
wiper value will not be incremented further. If the Wiper
register has a value between 101h and 1FFh, the
Increment command is disabled. See Table 7-4 for
additional information on the Increment Command
versus the current volatile wiper value.
The Increment operations only require the Increment
command byte while the CS pin is active (VILor VIHH)
for a single increment.
After the wiper is incremented to the desired position,
the CS pin should be forced to VIH to ensure that
unexpected transitions on the SCK pin do not cause
the wiper setting to change. Driving the CS pin to VIH
should occur as soon as possible (within device
specifications) after the last desired increment occurs.

CONTINUOUS INCREMENTS
Increment commands can be sent repeatedly without
raising CS until a desired condition is met. The value in
the Volatile Wiper register can be read using a Read
Command.
Continuous Increments are possible only when writing
to the wiper registers.
Figure 7-7 shows a Continuous Increment sequence
for three continuous writes. The writes do not need to
be to the same volatile memory address.
When executing a continuous command string, The
Increment command can be followed by any other valid
command.
When executing an continuous Increment commands,
the selected wiper will be altered from n to n+1 for each
Increment command received. The wiper value will
increment up to 100h on 8-bit devices and 80h on 7-bit
devices. After the wiper value has reached Full-Scale
(8-bit =100h, 7-bit =80h), the wiper value will not be
incremented further. If the Wiper register has a value
between 101h and 1FFh, the Increment command is
disabled.

shown in Figure 7-6.
An Decrement Command to the wiper memory location
changes that location after a properly formatted
command (8-clocks) have been received.
Decrement commands provide a quick and easy
method to modify the value of the wiper location by -1
with minimal overhead.

SINGLE DECREMENT
Typically the CS pin starts at the inactive state (VIH), but
may be already be in the active state due to the
completion of another command.
Figure 6-7 through Figure 6-8 show possible
waveforms for a single Decrement. The decrement
operation requires that the CS pin be in the active state
(VILor VIHH). Typically the CS pin will be in the inactive
state (VIH) and is driven to the active state (VILor VIHH).
Then the 8-bit Decrement Command (Command Byte)
is clocked in on the SDI pin by the SCK pins. The SDO
pin drives the CMDERR bit on the 7th clock.
The wiper value will decrement from the wipers
Full-Scale value (100h on 8-bit devices and 80h on
7-bit devices). Above the wipers Full-Scale value
(8-bit =101h to 1FFh, 7-bit = 81h to FFh), the
decrement command is disabled. If the Wiper register
has a Zero Scale value (000h), then the wiper value will
not decrement. See Table 7-4 for additional information
on the Decrement Command vs. the current volatile
wiper value.

CONTINUOUS DECREMENTS
Decrement commands can be sent repeatedly without
raising CS until a desired condition is met. The value in
the Volatile Wiper register can be read using a Read
Command.
Continuous Decrements are possible only when writing
to the wiper registers.
Figure 7-9 shows a continuous Decrement sequence
for three continuous writes. The writes do not need to
be to the same volatile memory address.
When executing a continuous command string, The
Decrement command can be followed by any other
valid command.
When executing an continuous Decrement commands,
the selected wiper will be altered from n to n-1 for each
Decrement command received. The wiper value will
decrement from the wipers Full-Scale value (100h on
8-bit devices and 80h on 7-bit devices). Above the
wipers Full-Scale value (8-bit =101h to 1FFh,
7-bit = 81h to FFh), the decrement command is
disabled. If the Wiper register has a Zero Scale value
(000h), then the wiper value will not decrement. See
Table 7-4 for additional information on the Decrement
Command vs. the current volatile wiper value.

APPLICATIONS EXAMPLES
Digital potentiometers have a multitude of practical
uses in modern electronic circuits. The most popular
uses include precision calibration of set point thresholds, sensor trimming, LCD bias trimming, audio attenuation, adjustable power supplies, motor control
overcurrent trip setting, adjustable gain amplifiers and
offset trimming. The MCP413X/415X/423X/425X
devices can be used to replace the common mechanical trim pot in applications where the operating and
terminal voltages are within CMOS process limitations
(VDD = 2.7V to 5.5V).
8.1
Split Rail Applications
All inputs that would be used to interface to a Host
Controller support High Voltage on their input pin. This
allows the MCP4XXX device to be used in split power
rail applications.
5V
SDI
CS
SCK
Figure 8-1 through Figure 8-2 show three example split
rail systems. In this system, the MCP4XXX interface
input signals need to be able to support the PIC MCU
output high voltage (VOH).
In Example #1 (Figure 8-1), the MCP4XXX interface
input signals need to be able to support the PIC MCU
output high voltage (VOH). If the split rail voltage delta
becomes too large, then the customer may be required
to do some level shifting due to MCP4XXX VOH levels
related to Host Controller VIH levels.
In Example #2 (Figure 8-2), the MCP4XXX interface
input signals need to be able to support the lower
voltage of the PIC MCU output high voltage level (VOH).
Table 8-1 shows an example PIC microcontroller I/O
voltage
specifications
and
the
MCP4XXX
specifications. So this PIC MCU operating at 3.3V will
drive a VOH at 2.64V, and for the MCP4XXX operating
at 5.5V, the VIH is 2.47V. Therefore, the interface
signals meet specifications.

Techniques to force the CS pin to
VIHH
PIC10F206
The circuit in Figure 8-3 shows a method using the
TC1240A doubling charge pump. When the SHDN pin
is high, the TC1240A is off, and the level on the CS pin
is controlled by the PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs) IO2
pin.
When the SHDN pin is low, the TC1240A is on and the
VOUT voltage is 2 * VDD. The resistor R1 allows the CS
pin to go higher than the voltage such that the PIC
MCU’s IO2 pin “clamps” at approximately VDD.

The circuit in Figure 8-4 shows the method used on the
MCP402X Non-volatile Digital Potentiometer Evaluation Board (Part Number: MCP402XEV). This method
requires that the system voltage be approximately 5V.
This ensures that when the PIC10F206 enters a
brown-out condition, there is an insufficient voltage
level on the CS pin to change the stored value of the
wiper.

Using Shutdown Modes
Figure 8-5 shows a possible application circuit where
the independent terminals could be used.
Disconnecting the wiper allows the transistor input to
be taken to the Bias voltage level (disconnecting A and
or B may be desired to reduce system current).
Disconnecting Terminal A modifies the transistor input
by the RBW rheostat value to the Common B.
Disconnecting Terminal B modifies the transistor input
by the RAW rheostat value to the Common A. The
Common A and Common B connections could be
connected to VDD and VSS.

For the serial commands, configure the GP2 pin as an
input (high-impedance). The output state of the GP0
pin will determine the voltage on the CS pin (VIL or VIH).
For high-voltage serial commands, force the GP0
output pin to output a high level (VOH) and configure the
GP2 pin to output the internal clock. This will form a
charge pump and increase the voltage on the CS pin
(when the system voltage is approximately 5V).

Design Considerations
8.4.2
In the design of a system with the MCP4XXX devices,
the following considerations should be taken into
account:
• Power Supply Considerations
• Layout Considerations
8.4.1
POWER SUPPLY
CONSIDERATIONS
The typical application will require a bypass capacitor
in order to filter high-frequency noise, which can be
induced onto the power supply's traces. The bypass
capacitor helps to minimize the effect of these noise
sources on signal integrity. Figure 8-6 illustrates an
appropriate bypass strategy.
In this example, the recommended bypass capacitor
value is 0.1 µF. This capacitor should be placed as
close (within 4 mm) to the device power pin (VDD) as
possible.
The power source supplying these devices should be
as clean as possible. If the application circuit has
separate digital and analog power supplies, VDD and
VSS should reside on the analog plane.
VDD
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching
noise can degrade the input and output signal integrity,
potentially masking the MCP4XXX’s performance.
Careful board layout minimizes these effects and
increases the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). Multi-layer
boards utilizing a low-inductance ground plane,
isolated inputs, isolated outputs and proper decoupling
are critical to achieving the performance that the silicon
is capable of providing. Particularly harsh
environments may require shielding of critical signals.
If low noise is desired, breadboards and wire-wrapped
boards are not recommended.
8.4.3
RESISTOR TEMPCO
Characterization curves of the resistor temperature
coefficient (Tempco) are shown in Figure 2-11,
Figure 2-24, Figure 2-36, and Figure 2-48.
These curves show that the resistor network is
designed to correct for the change in resistance as
temperature increases. This technique reduces the
end to end change is RAB resistance.
8.4.4
HIGH VOLTAGE TOLERANT PINS
High Voltage support (VIHH) on the Serial Interface pins
supports two features. These are:
• In-Circuit Accommodation of split rail applications
and power supply sync issues
• Compatability with systems that also support

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
