The MCP4231-104E/SL is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology, which is widely used in various electronic applications. It is a dual 7-bit digital potentiometer with non-volatile memory and an I2C interface.
Here are some key features of the MCP4231-104E/SL:
1. Dual Digital Potentiometers: The MCP4231-104E/SL consists of two independent digitally controlled potentiometers, each with 7-bit resolution. These potentiometers can be used to digitally adjust resistance in a circuit, making them highly versatile components.
2. Non-Volatile Memory: The IC has integrated non-volatile memory, allowing it to retain the potentiometer settings even when the power is disconnected. This feature is useful in applications where the desired resistance values need to be stored and recalled upon power-up.
3. I2C Interface: The MCP4231-104E/SL communicates with the external microcontroller or other devices using the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface. This popular serial communication protocol allows for easy integration into various electronic systems.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The IC can operate within a wide voltage range, typically between 2.7V and 5.5V. This flexibility makes it compatible with a wide range of power supply systems
