WHAT IS THE MCP402X DIGITAL POTENTIOMETER EVALUATION BOARD?

The MCP402X Digital Potentiometer Evaluation Board (MCP402XEV) allows the

system designer to quickly evaluate the operation of Microchip Technology’s

MCP401X/2X Digital Potentiometer products.

The MCP402X Digital Potentiometer Evaluation Board PCB was designed to support:

• 8-pin, 150 mil SOIC MCP4021-XXX/SN devices

• SOT-23-6 MCP4022-XXX/OT devices

• SOT-23-6 MCP4023-XXX/OT devices

• SOT-23-5 MCP4024-XXX/OT devices

• 8-pin, 150 mil SOIC MCP4011-XXX/SN devices

• SOT-23-6 MCP4012-XXX/OT devices

• SOT-23-6 MCP4013-XXX/OT devices

• SOT-23-5 MCP4014-XXX/OT devices

In addition to supporting the MCP401X/2X, the MCP402XEV also utilizes the SOT-23-6

PIC10F20X microcontroller.

The PIC10F20X is supplied with example firmware that debounces the INCR and

DECR push buttons and generates the simple U/D protocol required by the

MCP401X/2X to increment and decrement the potentiometer’s wiper. It also generates

the simple U/D protocol required by the MCP402X to lock and unlock the

potentiometer’s wiper.
