MCP4251T-103E/ST Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VDD before applying a clock signal to the device. This ensures that the internal circuitry is properly initialized.

  • To retain the wiper position during power-down, the CS pin should be held high and the SCK pin should be held low. This ensures that the device is in a static state and the wiper position is maintained.

  • The maximum frequency of the clock signal that can be applied to the SCK pin is 1 MHz. Exceeding this frequency may result in incorrect operation or device damage.

  • The correct resistance value depends on the specific application requirements. The MCP4251T-103E/ST has a total resistance of 10 kΩ, and the wiper can be set to one of 256 possible positions. The resistance between the wiper and either terminal can be calculated using the formula: R = (10 kΩ) / 256 * (wiper position).

  • Yes, the MCP4251T-103E/ST can be used as a rheostat by connecting the wiper to one of the terminals and using the other terminal as the output. However, the device is not intended for use as a rheostat and the wiper resistance may not be suitable for all applications.
