Frequently Asked Questions
How many resistance steps does the MCP4451-103E/ST provide and what resolution does that give over 10 kΩ?
The MCP4451-103E/ST offers 256 linear wiper positions across a 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance, giving a step resolution of approximately 39 ohm per step. This fine resolution makes it suitable for precision gain setting and calibration trim in 12-bit and 16-bit measurement chains.
Does the MCP4451-103E/ST retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes, the MCP4451-103E/ST includes non-volatile memory for wiper position storage, so the last programmed resistance value across all 4 resistor elements is retained after power-off. This eliminates the need for initialization code on every startup in embedded control applications.
What I2C address options are available on the MCP4451-103E/ST for multi-device bus sharing?
The MCP4451-103E/ST supports multiple hardware-selectable I2C addresses via the A0 and A1 address pins, allowing up to 4 devices to coexist on a single 2-wire bus. The I2C interface operates at standard 100 kHz and fast 400 kHz modes.
Is the TSSOP-20 package of the MCP4451-103E/ST compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place assembly at volume?
Yes, the TSSOP-20 package with 0.65 mm pin pitch is a common SMT footprint supported by virtually all pick-and-place machines and reflow solder processes. The package body is approximately 6.5 mm x 4.4 mm, providing a compact footprint for high-density PCB layouts in volume production.
