Description
The MCP4021/2/3/4 devices are non-volatile, 6-bit
digital potentiometers that can be configured as either a
potentiometer or rheostat. The wiper setting is
controlled through a simple Up/Down (U/D) serial
interface.
These device’s implement Microchip’s WiperLock tech-
nology, which allows application-specific calibration
settings to be secured in the EEPROM without
requiring the use of an additional write-protect pin.
