The MCP4361-104E/ML is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a digital potentiometer that provides four channel input/output through a 10-bit digital interface. This IC is commonly used in applications that require precise voltage adjustments or resistance control.
Key Features:
1. 10-bit Digital Potentiometer: The MCP4361-104E/ML offers a resolution of 10 bits, allowing for precise voltage or resistance adjustments to be made. It can provide resistance values between 0 Ohms and 10 kOhms.
2. Four Channel I/O: This IC component has four channels, enabling control of four separate resistive elements or voltage dividers. Each channel can be independently adjusted, offering flexibility in various applications.
3. SPI Interface: The MCP4361-104E/ML features a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), which allows for easy communication with microcontrollers or other digital devices. The SPI interface enables fast and reliable data transfer between the IC component and the controlling device.
4. Non-Volatile Memory: The digital potentiometer has non-volatile memory, which means it retains its settings even when power is disconnected. This feature is useful for applications that require consistent resistance values even during power cycling.
5. Low Power Consumption: The MCP4361-104E/ML operates on low power, making it suitable for battery-powered applications
