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 QFN package has 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.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
4.1.2
BROWN-OUT RESET
This data sheet covers a family of four volatile Digital
Potentiometer and Rheostat devices that will be
referred to as MCP43XX. The MCP43X1 devices are
the Potentiometer configuration, while the MCP43X2
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 registers may become corrupted
POR/BOR and Reset 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 are discussed in Section 7.0.
4.1
POR/BOR and Reset 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 than 1.8V.
When VPOR/VBOR < VDD < 2.7V, the analog 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.
When VDD < VPOR/VBOR or the RESET pin is Low, the
pin weak pull-ups are enabled.
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
value
• The TCON registers are loaded with their default
value
• The device is capable of digital operation
 2010 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,
the operation is the same as Power-on Reset (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.
4.1.3
RESET PIN
The RESET pin can be used to force the device into
the POR/BOR state of the device. When the RESET
pin is forced Low, the device is forced into the Reset
state. This means that the TCON registers are forced
to their default values and the volatile wiper registers
are loaded with the default value. Also the SPI
interface is disabled.
This feature allows a hardware method for all registers
to be updated to the default value at the same time.
4.1.4
INTERACTION OF RESET PIN AND BOR/
POR CIRCUITRY

POR/BOR signal interact to control the hardware Reset

4.2.1.1
Terminal Control (TCON) Registers
disconnected from the resistor network. This allows the
system to minimize the currents through the digital
potentiometer.
There are two Terminal Control (TCON) Registers.
These are called TCON0 and TCON1. Each register
contains 8 control bits. Four bits for each Wiper.
Register 4-1 describes each bit of the TCON0 register,
while Register 4-2 describes each bit of the TCON1
register.
The value that is written to the specified TCON register
will appear on the appropriate resistor network
terminals when the serial command has completed.
On a POR/BOR these registers are 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 values.
The state of each resistor network terminal connection
is individually controlled. That is, each terminal
connection (A, B and W) can be individually connected/

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 four resistor networks. These are
referred to as Pot 0, Pot 1, Pot 2 and Pot 3.

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).
Equation 5-1 shows the calculation for the step
resistance.

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 k)
compared to larger resistance devices
(100.0 k).

Wiper
TABLE 5-1:
Each tap point (between the RS resistors) is a
connection point for an analog switch. The opposite
side of the analog switch is connected to a common
signal which is connected to the Terminal W (Wiper)
pin.
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 connection, connects the
Terminal W (wiper) to Terminal B (wiper setting of
000h). A full scale connection, 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.
A wiper setting value greater than full scale (wiper
setting of 100h for 8-bit device or 80h for 7-bit devices)
will also be a full scale setting (Terminal W (wiper) connected to Terminal A). Table 5-1 illustrates the full wiper
setting map.

Shutdown
Shutdown is used to minimize the device’s current
consumption. The MCP43XX has one method to
achieve this:
• Terminal Control Register (TCON)
This is different from the MCP42XXX devices in that the
Hardware Shutdown pin (SHDN) has been replaced by
a RESET pin. The Hardware Shutdown pin function is
still available via software commands to the TCON
register.
5.3.1
TERMINAL CONTROL REGISTER
(TCON)
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. These registers are shown in
Register 4-1 and Register 4-2.
The RxHW bit does NOT corrupt the values in the
Volatile Wiper Registers nor the TCON register. When
the Shutdown mode is exited (RxHW bit = 1):
• The device returns to the Wiper setting specified
by the Volatile Wiper value
• The TCON register bits return to controlling the
terminal connection state

The RxHW bit forces the selected resistor network into

low-power configurations may be achieved with the
RxA, RxW and RxB bits.
When the RxHW bit is “0”:
• The P0A, P1A, P2A and P3A terminals are
disconnected
• The P0W, P1W, P2W and P3W terminals are
simultaneously connect to the P0B, P1B, P2B and
P3B terminals, respectively (see Figure 5-2)
Note:
When the RxHW bit forces the resistor
network into the hardware SHDN state,
the state of the TCON0 or TCON1
register’s 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 TCON0 or TCON1 register’s 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.

SERIAL INTERFACE (SPI)
The MCP43XX 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 Interface is 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.

6.1
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)
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).
6.1.3
THE CS SIGNAL
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.
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.
6.1.1
6.1.4
SERIAL CLOCK (SCK)
(SPI FREQUENCY OF OPERATION)
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.
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 High
Voltage commands. Support of High Voltage
commands allows circuit compatibility with the
corresponding nonvolatile device.

The SPI Modes
6.2.2
In Mode 1,1: SCK Idle state = high (VIH), 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.
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).

are Increment and Decrement commands. Support of
High Voltage commands allows circuit compatibility
with the corresponding nonvolatile device.
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.

DEVICE COMMANDS
7.1
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 MCP43XX’s SPI command format supports
16 memory address locations and four commands.
Each command has two modes:
• 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. With high-voltage serial commands, the
CS pin is driven to VIHH. 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
command selected.
Table 7-2 shows the supported commands for each
memory location and the corresponding values on the
SDI and SDO pins.
Table 7-3 shows an overview of all the SPI commands
and their interaction with other device features.

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.
Increment or Decrement commands are invalid for these addresses.
DS22242A-page 52
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
MCP433X/435X
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 4-2). The CMDERR bit is high if the combination
is valid and low if the combination is invalid.
The command error bit will also be low if a write to a
nonvolatile address has been specified and another
SPI command occurs before the CS pin is driven
inactive (VIH).
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).
 2010 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. Some commands also require the CS
pin to be forced inactive (VIH). 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
MCP43XX 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
MCP43XX, 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.
DS22242A-page 53
MCP433X/435X
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.
5.
6.
7.
2: It is also recommended that long

SINGLE WRITE TO VOLATILE
MEMORY
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
nonvolatile memory locations.
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.
Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3 show possible waveforms
for a single write.

SINGLE READ
The read operation requires that the CS pin be in the

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

(CMDERR bit) and the addressed data comes out on
the 8th through 16th clocks. Figure 6-2 through
Figure 6-3 show possible waveforms for a single read.
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).

SINGLE INCREMENT
Typically, the CS pin starts at the inactive state (VIH),
but may already be in the active state due to the
completion of another command.
Figure 6-4 through Figure 6-5 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.
Continuous increments are possible only when writing
to the volatile memory registers (address 00h, 01h, 06h
and 07h).
When executing a continuous command string, the
Increment command can be followed by any other valid
command.
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.
The wiper terminal will move after the command has
been received (8th clock).
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.
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.

SINGLE DECREMENT
Typically, the CS pin starts at the inactive state (VIH),
but may already be in the active state due to the
completion of another command.
Figure 6-4 through Figure 6-5 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 wiper’s full
scale value (100h on 8-bit devices and 80h on 7-bit
devices). Above the wiper’s 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 7-5 for additional information on the Decrement command vs. the current volatile wiper value.
The Decrement commands only require the Decrement
command byte, while the CS pin is active (VILor VIHH)

After the wiper is decremented to the desired position,

for three continuous writes. The writes do not need to

After the wiper is decremented 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

When executing 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 wiper’s full scale value (100h on
8-bit devices and 80h on 7-bit devices). Above the
wiper’s 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

APPLICATIONS EXAMPLES
5V
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 MCP433X/435X 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 MCP43XX device to be used in split power
rail applications.
PIC® MCU
Figure 8-1 through Figure 8-2 show three example split
rail systems. In this system, the MCP43XX interface
input signals need to be able to support the PIC MCU
output high voltage (VOH).
In Example #1 (Figure 8-1), the MCP43XX 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 MCP43XX VOH levels
related to host controller VIH levels.
In Example #2 (Figure 8-2), the MCP43XX 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
MCP43XX
specifications. So this PIC MCU operating at 3.3V will
drive a VOH at 2.64V, and for the MCP43XX 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 Nonvolatile 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 MCP43XX devices,
the following considerations should be taken into
account:
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Several layout considerations may be applicable to
your application. These may include:
• Power Supply Considerations
• Layout Considerations
• Noise
• Footprint Compatibility
• PCB Area Requirements
8.4.1
8.4.2.1
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
Noise
Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching
noise can degrade the input and output signal integrity,
potentially masking the MCP43XX’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.
8.4.2.2
Footprint Compatibility
The specification of the MCP43XX pinouts was done to
allow systems to be designed to easily support the use
of either the dual (MCP42XX) or quad (MCP43XX)
device.
Figure 8-7 shows how the dual pinout devices fit on the
quad device footprint. For the Rheostat devices, the
dual device is in the MSOP package, so the footprints
would need to be offset from each other.

selection. Table 8-2 shows the package dimensions
and area for the different package options. The table

CHARACTERIZATION
DATA ANALYSIS
Some designers may desire to understand the device
operational characteristics outside of the specified
operating conditions of the device.
Applications where the knowledge of the resistor
network characteristics could be useful include battery
powered devices and applications that experience
brown-out conditions.
In battery applications the application voltage decays
over time until new batteries are installed. As the
voltage decays, the system will continue to operate. At
some voltage level, the application will be below its
specified operating voltage range. This is dependent
on the individual components used in the design. It is
still useful to understand the device characteristics to
expect when this low-voltage range is encountered.
Unlike a microcontroller which can use an external
supervisor device to force the controller into the Reset
state, a digital potentiometer’s resistance characteristic
is not specified. But understanding the operational
characteristics can be important in the design of the
applications circuit for this low-voltage condition.
Other application system scenarios where understanding the low-voltage characteristics of the resistor network could be important is for system brown out
conditions.
For the MCP433X/435X devices, the analog operation
is specified at a minimum of 2.7V. Device testing has
Terminal A connected to the device VDD (for
potentiometer configuration only) and Terminal B
connected to VSS.
B.1
Low-Voltage Operation
This appendix gives an overview of CMOS
semiconductor characteristics at lower voltages. This is
important so that the 1.8V resistor network
characterization graphs of the MCP433X/435X devices
can be better understood.
For this discussion, we will use the 5 k device data.
This data was chosen since the variations of wiper
resistance has much greater implications for devices
with smaller RAB resistances.
Figure B-1 shows the worst case RBW error from the
average RBW as a percentage, while Figure B-2 shows
the RBW resistance verse wiper code graph. Nonlinear
behavior occurs at approximately wiper code 160. This
is better shown in Figure B-2, where the RBW
resistance changes from a linear slope. This change is
due to the change in the wiper resistance.

Figure B-3 and Figure B-4 show the wiper resistance
for VDD voltages of 5.5, 3.0, 1.8 Volts. These graphs
show that as the resistor ladder wiper node voltage
(VWCn) approaches the VDD/2 voltage, the wiper
resistance increases. These graphs also show the
different resistance characteristics of the NMOS and
PMOS transistors that make up the wiper switch. This
is demonstrated by the wiper code resistance curve,
which does not mirror itself around the mid-scale code
(wiper code = 128).
So why is the RW graphs showing the maximum
resistance at about mid-scale (wiper code = 128) and
the RBW graphs showing the issue at code 160?
This requires understanding low-voltage transistor
characteristics as well as how the data was measured.

RBW and RW Measurement.
Figure B-6 shows a block diagram of the resistor
network where the RAB resistor is a series of 256 RS
resistors. These resistors are polysilicon devices. Each
wiper switch is an analog switch made up of an NMOS
and PMOS transistor. A more detailed figure of the
wiper switch is shown in Figure B-7. The wiper
resistance is influenced by the voltage on the wiper
switches nodes (VG, VW and VWCn). Temperature also
influences the characteristics of the wiper switch, see
Figure B-4.
The NMOS transistor and PMOS transistor have
different characteristics. These characteristics as well
as the wiper switch node voltages determine the RW
resistance at each wiper code. The variation of each
wiper switch’s characteristics in the resistor network is
greater then the variation of the RS resistors.

Resistance ()
The method in which the data was collected is
important to understand. Figure B-5 shows the
technique that was used to measure the RBW and RW
resistance. In this technique Terminal A is floating and
Terminal B is connected to ground. A fixed current is
then forced into the wiper (IW) and the corresponding
wiper voltage (VW) is measured. Forcing a known
current through RBW (IW) and then measuring the
voltage difference between the wiper (VW) and
Terminal A (VA), the wiper resistance (RW) can be
calculated, see Figure B-5. Changes in IW current will
change the wiper voltage (VW). This may effect the
device’s wiper resistance (RW).
The voltage on the resistor network node (VWCn) is
dependent upon the wiper code selected and the
voltages applied to VA, VB and VW. The wiper switch VG
voltage to VW or VWCn voltage determines how strongly
the transistor is turned on. When the transistor is
weakly turned on the wiper resistance RW will be high.
When the transistor is strongly turned on, the wiper
resistance (RW) will be in the typical range.

So looking at the wiper voltage (VW) for the
3.0V and 1.8V data gives the graphs in Figure B-8 and
Figure B-9. In the 1.8V graph, as the VW approaches
0.8V, the voltage increases nonlinearly. Since V = I * R,
and the current (IW) is constant, it means that the
device resistance increased nonlinearly at around
wiper code 160.

The characteristics of the wiper is determined by the
characteristics of the wiper switch at each of the
resistor networks tap points. Figure B-7 shows an
example of a wiper switch. As the device operational
voltage becomes lower, the characteristics of the wiper
switch change due to a lower voltage on the VG signal.

NMOS and PMOS Resistance
()
Using the simulation models of the NMOS and PMOS
devices for the MCP43XX analog switch (Figure B-10),
we plot the device resistance when the devices are
turned on. Figure B-11 and Figure B-12 show the
resistances of the NMOS and PMOS devices as the
VIN voltage is increased. The wiper resistance (RW) is
simply the parallel resistance on the NMOS and PMOS
devices (RW = RNMOS || RPMOS). Below the threshold
voltage for the NMOS ad PMOS devices, the
resistance becomes very large (Giga s). In the
transistors active region, the resistance is much lower.
For these graphs, the resistances are on different
scales. Figure B-13 and Figure B-14 only plots the
NMOS and PMOS device resistance for their active
region and the resulting wiper resistance. For these
graphs, all resistances are on the same scale.

Optimizing Circuit Design for LowVoltage Characteristics
R1
The low-voltage nonlinear characteristics can be
minimized by application design. The section will show
two application circuits that can be used to control a
programmable reference voltage (VOUT).
A
In example implementation #1 (Figure B-15) we
window the digital potentiometer using resistors R1 and
R2. When the wiper code is at full scale the VOUT
voltage will be  0.6 * VDD, and when the wiper code is
at zero scale the VOUT voltage will be  0.5 * VDD.
Remember that the digital potentiometers RAB variation
must be included. Table B-1 shows that the VOUT voltage can be selected to be between 0.455 * VDD and
0.727 * VDD, which includes the desired range. With
respect to the voltages on the resistor network node, at
1.8V the VA voltage would range from 1.29V to 1.31V
while the VB voltage would range from 0.82V to 0.86V.
These voltages cause the wiper resistance to be in the
nonlinear region (see Figure B-12). In Potentiometer
mode, the variation of the wiper resistance is typically
not an issue, as shown by the INL/DNL graph
(Figure 2-7).
VW
W
Minimizing the low-voltage nonlinear characteristics is
done by keeping the voltages on the wiper switch
nodes at a voltage where either the NMOS or PMOS
transistor is turned on.
An example of this is if we are using a digital potentiometer for a voltage reference (VOUT). Lets say that we
want VOUT to range from 0.5 * VDD to 0.6 * VDD.

In example implementation #2 (Figure B-16) we use
the digital potentiometer in Rheostat mode. The resistor ladder uses resistors R1 and R2 with RBW at the
bottom of the ladder. When the wiper code is at full
scale, the VOUT voltage will be  0.6 * VDD and when
the wiper code is at full scale the VOUT voltage will be
 0.5 * VDD. Remember that the digital potentiometers
RAB variation must be included. Table B-2 shows that
the VOUT voltage can be selected to be between 0.50 *
VDD and 0.687 * VDD, which includes the desired
range. With respect to the voltages on the resistor network node, at 1.8V the VW voltage would range from
0.29V to 0.38V. These voltages cause the wiper
resistance to be in the linear region (see Figure B-12).
