Conditions
As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
A fast-mode (400 kHz) I2C-bus device can be used in a standard-mode (100 kHz) I2C-bus system, but the
requirement tSU;DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal,
it must output the next data bit to the SDA line
TR max.+tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the standard-mode I2C bus specification) before
the SCL line is released.
The MCP46X1/MCP46X2 device must provide a data hold time to bridge the undefined part between VIH
and VIL of the falling edge of the SCL signal. This specification is not a part of the I2C specification, but
must be tested in order to ensure that the output data will meet the setup and hold specifications for the
receiving device.
Use Cb in pF for the calculations.
Not Tested
A Master Transmitter must provide a delay to ensure that difference between SDA and SCL fall times do
not unintentionally create a Start or Stop condition.
Ensured by the TAA 3.4 MHz specification test.

As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
A fast-mode (400 kHz) I2C-bus device can be used in a standard-mode (100 kHz) I2C-bus system, but the
requirement tSU;DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal,
it must output the next data bit to the SDA line
TR max.+tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the standard-mode I2C bus specification) before
the SCL line is released.
The MCP46X1/MCP46X2 device must provide a data hold time to bridge the undefined part between VIH
and VIL of the falling edge of the SCL signal. This specification is not a part of the I2C specification, but
must be tested in order to ensure that the output data will meet the setup and hold specifications for the
receiving device.
Use Cb in pF for the calculations.
Not Tested
A Master Transmitter must provide a delay to ensure that difference between SDA and SCL fall times do
not unintentionally create a Start or Stop condition.
Ensured by the TAA 3.4 MHz specification test.

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 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.

3.1
High Voltage Command / Address 0
(HVC/A0)
The HVC/A0 pin is the Address 0 input for the I2C
interface as well as the High Voltage Command pin. At
the device’s POR/BOR the value of the A0 address bit
is latched. This input along with the A2 and A1 pins
completes the device address. This allows up to 8
MCP45xx/46xx devices can be on a single I2C bus.
During normal operation the the voltage on this pin
determines if the I2C command is a normal command
or a High Voltage command (when HVC/A0 = VIHH).
3.2
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL pin is the serial interfaces Serial Clock pin.
This pin is connected to the Host Controllers SCL pin.
The MCP45XX/46XX is a slave device, so it’s SCL pin
accepts only external clock signals.
3.3
Serial Data (SDA)
The SDA pin is the serial interfaces Serial Data pin.
This pin is connected to the Host Controllers SDA pin.
The SDA pin is an open-drain N-channel driver.
3.4
Ground (VSS)
The VSS pin is the device ground reference.
3.5
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.
MCP46X1 devices have two terminal A pins, one for
each resistor network.
3.8
Address 2 (A2)
The A2 pin is the I2C interface’s Address 2 pin. Along
with the A1 and A0 pins, up to 8 MCP45XX/46XX
devices can be on a single I2C bus.
3.9
Address 1 (A1)
The A2 pin is the I2C interface’s Address 1 pin. Along
with the A2 and A0 pins, up to 8 MCP45XX/46XX
devices can be on a single I2C bus.
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.
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.
MCP46XX devices have two terminal B pins, one for
each resistor network.
3.6
3.7
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.
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.
While the device VDD < Vmin (2.7V), the electrical
performance of the device may not meet the data sheet
specifications.
3.11
No Connect (NC)
These pins should be either connected to VDD or VSS.
3.12
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.
MCP46XX devices have two terminal W pins, one for
each resistor network.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
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.
As the Device Block Diagram shows, there are four
main functional blocks. These are:
•
•
•
•
POR/BOR Operation
Memory Map
Resistor Network
Serial Interface (I2C)
The POR/BOR operation and the Memory Map are
discussed in this section and the Resistor Network and
I2C operation are described in their own sections. The
Device Commands commands are discussed in
Section 7.0 “Device Commands”.
4.1
POR/BOR Operation
The Power-on Reset is the case where the device is
having power applied to it starting from the VSS level.
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 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 value in the
corresponding non-volatile wiper register
• The TCON register is loaded it’s default value
• The device is capable of digital operation
4.1.2
BROWN-OUT RESET
When the device powers down, the device VDD will
cross the VPOR/VBOR voltage.
Once the VDD voltage decreases below the VPOR/VBOR
voltage the Serial Interface is disabled.
If the VDD voltage decreases below the VRAM voltage
the following happens:
• Volatile wiper registers may become corrupted
• TCON register may become corrupted
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 volatile memory location to
become corrupted.
4.2
Memory Map
The device memory map supports 16 locations, of
which 3 locations are used. Each location is 9-bits wide
(16x9 bits). This memory space is shown in Table 4-1.

VOLATILE MEMORY (RAM)
There are four Volatile Memory locations. These are:
• Volatile Wiper 0
• Volatile Wiper 1
(Dual Resistor Network devices only)
• Terminal Control (TCON) Register
• Reserved
The volatile memory starts functioning at the RAM
retention voltage (VRAM).
4.2.1.1
Address 05h (Reserved)
This memory location is Reserved and is mapped to
the Status Register of the Non-Volatile MCP45XX/
46XX devices. Since the Non-Volatile devices bits are
not used by the volatile device, this location is
reserved. Reading this address wil result in a value of
1F7h.

4.2.1.2
Terminal Control (TCON) Register
This register contains 8 control bits. Four bits are for
Wiper 0, and four bits are for Wiper 1. Register 4-1
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.
When the WL1 bit is enabled, writes to the TCON
register bits R1HW, R1A, R1W, and R1B are inhibited.
When the WL0 bit is enabled, writes to the TCON
register bits R0HW, R0A, R0W, and R0B are inhibited.
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.
Additionally, there is a bit which enables the operation
of General Call commands.
The value that is written to this register will appear on
the resistor network terminals when the serial
command has completed.

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).

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 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.
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.

5.3
Shutdown
5.3.2
Shutdown is used to minimize the device’s current
consumption. The MCP4XXX achieves this through the
Terminal Control Register (TCON).
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. This bits are described in
Register 4-1.
When the RxHW bit is a “0”, the selected resistor network is forced into the following state:
INTERACTION OF RxHW BIT AND
RxA, RxW, AND RxB BITS (TCON
REGISTER)
Using the TCON bits allows each resistor network (Pot
0 and Pot 1) to be individually “shutdown”.
The state of the RxHW bit does NOT corrupt the other
bit values in the TCON register nor the value of the
Volatile Wiper Registers. When the Shutdown mode is
exited (RxHW changes state from “0” to “1”):
• The device returns to the Wiper setting specified
by the Volatile Wiper value
• The RxA, RxB, and RxW bits return to controlling
the terminal connection state of that resistor network
• The PxA terminal is disconnected
• The PxW terminal is simultaneously connected to
the PxB terminal (see Figure 5-2)
• The Serial Interface is NOT disabled, and all
Serial Interface activity is executed
Alternate low power configurations may be achieved
with the RxA, RxW, and RxB bits.
Note 1: The RxHW bits are identical to the RxHW
bits of the MCP41XX/42XX devices. The
MCP42XX devices also have a SHDN
pin which forces the resistor network into
the same state as that resistor networks
RxHW bit.
2: When RxHW = “0”, the state of the TCON
register RxA, RxW, and RxB bits is overridden (ignored). When the state of the
RxHW bit returns to “1”, 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.

SERIAL INTERFACE (I2C)
6.1
The MCP45XX/46XX devices support the I2C serial
protocol. The MCP45XX/46XX I2C’s module operates
in Slave mode (does not generate the serial clock).
Figure 6-1 shows a typical I2C Interface connection. All
I2C interface signals are high-voltage tolerant.
The MCP45XX/46XX devices use the two-wire I2C
serial interface. This interface can operate in standard,
fast or High-Speed mode. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as transmitter, and a device
receiving data as receiver. The bus has to be controlled
by a master device which generates the serial clock
(SCL), controls the bus access and generates the
START and STOP conditions. The MCP45XX/46XX
device works as slave. Both master and slave can
operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated. Communication is initiated by the master (microcontroller) which
sends the START bit, followed by the slave address
byte. The first byte transmitted is always the slave
address byte, which contains the device code, the
address bits, and the R/W bit.

Typical I2C Interface Block
Signal Descriptions
The I2C interface uses up to five pins (signals). These
are:
•
•
•
•
•
SDA (Serial Data)
SCL (Serial Clock)
A0 (Address 0 bit)
A1 (Address 1 bit)
A2 (Address 2 bit)
6.1.1
SERIAL DATA (SDA)
The Serial Data (SDA) signal is the data signal of the
device. The value on this pin is latched on the rising
edge of the SCL signal when the signal is an input.
With the exception of the START and STOP conditions,
the high or low state of the SDA pin can only change
when the clock signal on the SCL pin is low. During the
high period of the clock the SDA pin’s value (high or
low) must be stable. Changes in the SDA pin’s value
while the SCL pin is HIGH will be interpreted as a
START or a STOP condition.
6.1.2
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
The Serial Clock (SCL) signal is the clock signal of the
device. The rising edge of the SCL signal latches the
value on the SDA pin. The MCP45XX/46XX supports
three I2C interface clock modes:
• Standard Mode: clock rates up to 100 kHz
• Fast Mode: clock rates up to 400 kHz
• High-Speed Mode (HS mode): clock rates up to
3.4 MHz
The MCP4XXX will not strech the clock signal (SCL)
since memory read acceses occur fast enough.
Depending on the clock rate mode, the interface will
display different characteristics.
6.1.3
THE ADDRESS BITS (A2:A1:A0)
There are up to three hardware pins used to specify the
device address. The number of adress pins is
determined by the part number.
Address 0 is multiplexed with the High Voltage
Command (HVC) function. So the state of A0 is latched
on the MCP4XXX’s POR/BOR event.
The state of the A2 and A1 pins should be static, that is
they should be tied high or tied low.
6.1.3.1
The High Voltage Command (HVC)
Signal
The High Voltage Command (HVC) signal is multiplexed with Address 0 (A0) and is used to indicate that
the command, or sequence of commands, are in the
High Voltage mode. High Voltage commands are supported for compatibility with the non-volatile devices.
The HVC pin has an internal resistor connection to the
MCP45XX/46XXs internal VDD signal.

I2C Operation
6.2.1.3
The MCP45XX/46XX’s I2C module is compatible with
the Philips I2C specification. The following lists some of
the modules features:
• 7-bit slave addressing
• Supports three clock rate modes:
- Standard mode, clock rates up to 100 kHz
- Fast mode, clock rates up to 400 kHz
- High-speed mode (HS mode), clock rates up
to 3.4 MHz
• Support Multi-Master Applications
• General call addressing
• Internal weak pull-ups on interface signals
The I2C 10-bit addressing mode is not supported.
The Philips I2C specification only defines the field
types, field lengths, timings, etc. of a frame. The frame
content defines the behavior of the device. The frame
content for the MCP4XXX is defined in Section 7.0.
6.2.1
I2C BIT STATES AND SEQUENCE
Figure 6-8 shows the I2C transfer sequence. The serial
clock is generated by the master. The following definitions are used for the bit states:
• Start bit (S)
• Data bit
• Acknowledge (A) bit (driven low) /
No Acknowledge (A) bit (not driven low)
• Repeated Start bit (Sr)
• Stop bit (P)

is Low. While the SCL signal is High, the SDA signal
MUST be stable (see Figure 6-5).

Not A (A) Response
The A bit has the SDA signal high. Table 6-1 shows
some of the conditions where the Slave Device will
issue a Not A (A).
If an error condition occurs (such as an A instead of A),
then an START bit must be issued to reset the
command state machine.
Event
The Start bit (see Figure 6-2) indicates the beginning of
a data transfer sequence. The Start bit is defined as the
SDA signal falling when the SCL signal is “High”.
1st Bit
The A bit (see Figure 6-4) is typically a response from
the receiving device to the transmitting device.
Depending on the context of the transfer sequence, the
A bit may indicate different things. Typically the Slave
device will supply an A response after the Start bit and
8 “data” bits have been received. an A bit has the SDA
signal low.

Repeated Start Bit
6.2.1.5
The Repeated Start bit (see Figure 6-5) indicates the
current Master Device wishes to continue communicating with the current Slave Device without releasing the
I2C bus. The Repeated Start condition is the same as
the Start condition, except that the Repeated Start bit
follows a Start bit (with the Data bits + A bit) and not a
Stop bit.
Stop Bit
The Stop bit (see Figure 6-6) Indicates the end of the
I2C Data Transfer Sequence. The Stop bit is defined as
the SDA signal rising when the SCL signal is “High”.
A Stop bit resets the I2C interface of all MCP4XXX
devices.

The Start bit is the beginning of a data transfer
sequence and is defined as the SDA signal falling when
the SCL signal is “High”.

“Clock Stretching” is something that the receiving
Device can do, to allow additional time to “respond” to

6.2.4
ADDRESSING
The address byte is the first byte received following the
START condition from the master device. The address
contains four (or more) fixed bits and (up to) three user
defined hardware address bits (pins A2, A1, and A0).
These 7-bits address the desired I2C device. The
A7:A4 address bits are fixed to “0101” and the device
appends the value of following three address pins (A2,
A1, A0). Address pins that are not present on the
device are pulled up (a bit value of ‘1’).
Since there are up to three adress bits controlled by
hardware pins, there may be up to eight MCP4XXX
devices on the same I2C bus.
Figure 6-9 shows the slave address byte format, which
contains the seven address bits. There is also a read/
write bit. Table 6-2 shows the fixed address for device.
Hardware Address Pins
The hardware address bits (A2, A1, and A0)
correspond to the logic level on the associated address
pins. This allows up to eight devices on the bus.
These pins have a weak pull-up enabled when the VDD
< VBOR. The weak pull-up utilizes the “smart” pull-up
technology and exhibits the same characteristics as the
High-voltage tolerant I/O structure.
The state of the A0 address pin is latch on POR/BOR.
This is required since High Voltage commands force
this pin (HVC/A0) to the VIHH level.

SLOPE CONTROL
The MCP45XX/46XX implements slope control on the
SDA output.
As the device transitions from HS mode to FS mode,
the slope control parmameter will change from the HS
specification to the FS specification.
For Fast (FS) and High-Speed (HS) modes, the device
has a spike suppression and a Schmidt trigger at SDA
and SCL inputs.

MCP453X/455X/463X/465X
6.2.6
HS MODE
After switching to the High-Speed mode, the next
transferred byte is the I2C control byte, which specifies
the device to communicate with, and any number of
data bytes plus acknowledgements. The Master
Device can then either issue a Repeated Start bit to
address a different device (at High-Speed) or a Stop bit
to return to Fast/Standard bus speed. After the Stop bit,
any other Master Device (in a Multi-Master system) can
arbitrate for the I2C bus.
2
The I C specification requires that a high-speed mode
device must be ‘activated’ to operate in high-speed
(3.4 Mbit/s) mode. This is done by the Master sending
a special address byte following the START bit. This
byte is referred to as the high-speed Master Mode
Code (HSMMC).
The MCP45XX/46XX device does not acknowledge
this byte. However, upon receiving this command, the
device switches to HS mode. The device can now communicate at up to 3.4 Mbit/s on SDA and SCL lines.
The device will switch out of the HS mode on the next
STOP condition.
See Figure 6-10 for illustration of HS mode command
sequence.
For more information on the HS mode, or other I2C
modes, please refer to the Phillips I2C specification.
The master code is sent as follows:

GENERAL CALL
The General Call is a method that the “Master” device
can communicate with all other “Slave” devices. In a
Multi-Master application, the other Master devices are
operating in Slave mode. The General Call address
has two documented formats. These are shown in
Figure 6-11. We have added a MCP45XX/46XX format
in this figure as well.
This will allow customers to have multiple I2C Digital
Potentiometers on the bus and have them operate in a
synchronous fashion (analogous to the DAC Sync pin
functionality). If these MCP45XX/46XX 7-bit commands conflict with other I2C devices on the bus, then
the customer will need two I2C busses and ensure that
the devices are on the correct bus for their desired
application functionality.
Dual Pot devices can not update both Pot0 and Pot1
from a single command. To address this, there are
General Call commands for the Wiper 0, Wiper 1, and
the TCON registers.
Table 6-3 shows the General Call Commands. Three
commands are specified by the I2C specification and
are not applicable to the MCP45XX/46XX (so command is Not Acknowledged) The MCP45XX/46XX
General Call Commands are Acknowledge. Any other
command is Not Acknowledged.
Note:
Only one General Call command per issue
of the General Call control byte. Any additional General Call commands are ignored
and Not Acknowledged.

DEVICE COMMANDS
The MCP4XXX’s I2C command formats are specified in
this section. The I2C protocol does not specify how
commands are formatted.
The MCP4XXX supports four basic commands.
Depending on the location accessed determines the
commands that are supported.
For the Volatile Wiper Registers, these commands are:
•
•
•
•
Write Data
Read Data
Increment Data
Decrement Data
For the TCON Register, these commands are:
• Write Data
• Read Data
These commands have formats for both a single
command or continuous commands. These commands
are shown in Table 7-1.
Each command has two operational states. These
operational states are referred to as:
• Normal Serial Commands
• High-Voltage Serial Commands
Note:
High Voltage commands are supported
for compatibility with Non-Volatile
devices in the family.

7.1
Command Byte
The MCP4XXX’s Command Byte has three fields: the
Address, the Command Operation, and 2 Data bits,
see Figure 7-1. Currently only one of the data bits is
defined (D8).
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.
If the Address bits and Command bits are not a valid
combination, then the MCP4XXX will generate a Not
Acknowledge pulse to indicate the invalid combination.
The I2C Master device must then force a Start Condition to reset the MCP4XXX’s 2C module.
D9 and D8 are the most significant bits for the digital
potentiometer’s wiper setting. The 8-bit devices utilize
D8 as their MSb while the 7-bit devices utilize D7 (from
the data byte) as it’s MSb.

7.2
Data Byte
7.3
Only the Read Command and the Write Command
have Data Byte(s).
The Write command concatenates 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.
Error Condition
If the four address bits received (AD3:AD0) and the two
command bits received (C1:C0) are a valid combination, the MCP4XXX will Acknowledge the I2C bus.
If the address bits and command bits are an invalid
combination, then the MCP4XXX will Not Acknowledge
the I2C bus.
Once an error condition has occurred, any following
commands are ignored until the I2C bus is reset with a
Start Condition.

Write Data
Normal and High Voltage
The Write Command can be issued to both the Volatile
and Non-Volatile memory locations. The format of the
command, see Figure 7-2, includes the I2C Control
Byte, an A bit, the MCP4XXX Command Byte, an A bit,
the MCP4XXX Data Byte, an A bit, and a Stop (or
Restart) condition. The MCP4XXX generates the A / A
bits.
A Write command to a Volatile memory location
changes that location after a properly formatted Write
Command and the A / A clock have been received.
7.4.1
SINGLE WRITE TO VOLATILE
MEMORY
For volatile memory locations, data is written to the
MCP4XXX after every byte transfer (during the
Acknowledge). If a Stop or Restart condition is generated during a data transfer (before the A), the data will
not be written to the MCP4XXX. After the A bit, the
master can initiate the next sequence with a Stop or
Restart condition.
7.4.2
CONTINUOUS WRITES TO
VOLATILE MEMORY
A continuous write mode of operation is possible when
writing to the volatile memory registers (address 00h,
01h, and 04h). This continuous write mode allows
writes without a Stop or Restart condition or repeated
transmissions of the I2C Control Byte. Figure 7-3
shows the sequence for three continuous writes. The
writes do not need to be to the same volatile memory
address. The sequence ends with the master sending
a STOP or RESTART condition.
7.4.3
THE HIGH VOLTAGE COMMAND
(HVC) SIGNAL
The High Voltage Command (HVC) signal is
multiplexed with Address 0 (A0) and is used to indicate
that the command, or sequence of commands, are in
the High Voltage operational state. High Voltage
commands allow the device’s WiperLock Technology
and write protect features to be enabled and disabled.
The HVC pin has an internal resistor connection to the
MCP45XX/46XXs internal VDD signal.
Refer to Figure 7-2 for the byte write sequence.

Read Data
Normal and High Voltage
7.5.1
SINGLE READ
Figure 7-4 show the waveforms for a single read.
The Read Command can be issued to both the Volatile
and Non-Volatile memory locations. The format of the
command, see Figure 7-4, includes the Start condition,
I2C Control Byte (with R/W bit set to “0”), A bit,
MCP4XXX Command Byte, A bit, followed by a
Repeated Start bit, I2C Control Byte (with R/W bit set to
“1”), and the MCP4XXX transmitting the requested
Data High Byte, and A bit, the Data Low Byte, the Master generating the A, and Stop condition.
For single reads the master sends a STOP or
RESTART condition after the data byte is sent from the
slave.
The I2C Control Byte requires the R/W bit equal to a
logic one (R/W = 1) to generate a read sequence. The
memory location read will be the last address
contained in a valid write MCP4XXX Command Byte or
address 00h if no write operations have occurred since
the device was reset (Power-on Reset or Brown-out
Reset).
7.5.2
Read operations initially include the same address byte
sequence as the write sequence (shown in Figure 6-9).
This sequence is followed by another control byte
(including the Start condition and Ackowledge) with the
R/W bit equal to a logic one (R/W = 1) to indicate a
read. The MCP4XXX will then transmit the data contained in the addressed register. This is followed by the
master generating an A bit in preparation for more data,
or an A bit followed by a Stop. The sequence is ended
with the master generating a Stop or Restart condition.
The internal address pointer is maintained.
7.5.1.1
Random Read
Figure 7-5 shows the sequence for a Random Reads.
Refer to Figure 7-5 for the random byte read
sequence.
CONTINUOUS READS
Continuous reads allows the devices memory to be
read quickly. Continuous reads are possible to all memory locations. If a non-volatile memory write cycle is
occurring, then Read commands may only access the
volatile memory locations.
Figure 7-6 shows the sequence for three continuous
reads.
For continuous reads, instead of transmitting a Stop
or Restart condition after the data transfer, the master
reads the next data byte. The sequence ends with the
master Not Acknowledging and then sending a Stop or
Restart.
7.5.3
THE HIGH VOLTAGE COMMAND
(HVC) SIGNAL
The High Voltage Command (HVC) signal is
multiplexed with Address 0 (A0) and is used to indicate
that the command, or sequence of commands, are in
the High Voltage mode. High Voltage commands allow
the device’s WiperLock Technology and write protect
features to be enabled and disabled.
The HVC pin has an internal resistor connection to the
MCP4XXXs internal VDD signal.
7.5.4
IGNORING AN I2C TRANSMISSION AND
“FALLING OFF” THE BUS
The MCP4XXX expects to receive entire, valid I2C
commands and will assume any command not defined
as a valid command is due to a bus corruption and will
enter a passive high condition on the SDA signal. All
signals will be ignored until the next valid Start
condition and Control Byte are received.

APPLICATIONS EXAMPLES
Non-volatile 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 MCP453X/455X/463X/465X
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
Techniques to force the HVC pin
to VIHH
The circuit in Figure 8-1 shows a method using the
TC1240A doubling charge pump. When the SHDN pin
is high, the TC1240A is off, and the level on the HVC
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
HVC pin to go higher than the voltage such that the PIC
MCU’s IO2 pin “clamps” at approximately VDD.
The circuit in Figure 8-2 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 HVC pin to change the stored value of the
wiper. The MCP402X Non-volatile Digital Potentiometer Evaluation Board User’s Guide (DS51546) contains
a complete schematic.
GP0 is a general purpose I/O pin, while GP2 can either
be a general purpose I/O pin or it can output the internal
clock.
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 HVC 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 HVC pin
(when the system voltage is approximately 5V).

Using Shutdown
Figure 8-3 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.

Software Reset Sequence
The 1st Start bit will cause the device to reset from a
state in which it is expecting to receive data from the
Master Device. In this mode, the device is monitoring
the data bus in Receive mode and can detect the Start
bit forces an internal Reset.
The nine bits of ‘1’ are used to force a Reset of those
devices that could not be reset by the previous Start bit.
This occurs only if the MCP45XX/46XX is driving an A
bit on the I2C bus, or is in output mode (from a Read
command) and is driving a data bit of ‘0’ onto the I2C
bus. In both of these cases, the previous Start bit could
not be generated due to the MCP45XX/46XX holding
the bus low. By sending out nine ‘1’ bits, it is ensured
that the device will see a A bit (the Master Device does
not drive the I2C bus low to acknowledge the data sent
by the MCP45XX/46XX), which also forces the
MCP45XX/46XX to reset.

The 2nd Start bit is sent to address the rare possibility
of an erroneous write. This could occur if the Master
Device was reset while sending a Write command to
the MCP45XX/46XX, AND then as the Master Device
returns to normal operation and issues a Start condition
while the MCP45XX/46XX is issuing an Acknowledge.
In this case, if the 2nd Start bit is not sent (and the Stop
bit was sent) the MCP45XX/46XX could initiate a write
cycle.

Software Reset Sequence
This technique is documented in AN1028.
At times it may become necessary to perform a Software Reset Sequence to ensure the MCP45XX/46XX
device is in a correct and known I2C Interface state.
This technique only resets the I2C state machine.
Note:
The potential for this erroneous write
ONLY occurs if the Master Device is reset
while sending a Write command to the
MCP45XX/46XX.
The Stop bit terminates the current I2C bus activity. The
MCP45XX/46XX wait to detect the next Start condition.
This sequence does not effect any other I2C devices
which may be on the bus, as they should disregard this
as an invalid command.
This is useful if the MCP45XX/46XX device powers up
in an incorrect state (due to excessive bus noise, ...), or
if the Master Device is reset during communication.
Figure 8-4 shows the communication sequence to software reset the device.

8.4
Figure 8-5 shows two I2C bus configurations. In many
cases, the single I2C bus configuration will be
adequate. For applications that do not want all the
MCP45XX/46XX devices to do General Call support or
have a conflict with General Call commands, the
multiple I2C bus configuration would be used.
Using the General Call Command
The use of the General Call Address Increment, Decrement, or Write commands is analogous to the “Load”
feature (LDAC pin) on some DACs (such as the
MCP4921). This allows all the devices to “Update” the
output level “at the same time”.
For some applications, the ability to update the wiper
values “at the same time may be a requirement, since
they delay from writing to one wiper value and then the
next may cause application issues. A possible example
would be a “tuned” circuit that uses several MCP45XX/
46XX in rheostat configuration. As the system condition
changes (temperature, load, ...) these devices need to
be changed (incremented/decremented) to adjust for
the system change. These changes will either be in the
same direction or in opposite directions. With the
Potentiometer device the customer can either select
the PxB terminals (same direction) or the PxA
terminal(s) (opposite direction).

The application system may need to
partition the I2C bus into multiple busses to
ensure that the MCP45XX/46XX General
Call commands do not conflict with the
General Call commands that the other I2C
devices may have defined. Also if only a
portion of the MCP45XX/46XX devices are
to require this synchronous operation,
then the devices that should not receive
these commands should be on the second
I2C bus.

Design Considerations
8.5.2
In the design of a system with the MCP4XXX devices,
the following considerations should be taken into
account:
• Power Supply Considerations
• Layout Considerations
8.5.1
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 8-7 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.
8.5.3
RESISTOR TEMPCO
Characterization curves of the resistor temperature
coefficient (Tempco) are shown in Figure 2-12,
Figure 2-25, Figure 2-38, and Figure 2-51.
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.
8.5.4
HIGH VOLTAGE TOLERANT PINS
High Voltage support (VIHH) on the Serial Interface pins
is for compatibility with the non-volatile devices..

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.
•
