8.0
Nonvolatile 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 MCP44XX devices can be used to
replace
applications where the operating and terminal voltages
are within CMOS process limitations (V
5.5V).

TC1240A doubling charge pump. When the SHDN pin
is high, the TC1240A is off, and the level on the HVC/
A0 pin is controlled by the PIC® microcontrollers
(MCUs) IO2 pin.
When the SHDN pin is low, the TC1240A is on and the

The circuit in
MCP402X Nonvolatile 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/A0 pin to change the stored value of the wiper.
The MCP402X Nonvolatile Digital Potentiometer Eval-
uation 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/A0 pin (V

GP2 pin to output the internal clock. This will form a
charge pump and increase the voltage on the CS pin
(when the system voltage is approximately 5V).
