The MCP4541T-103E/MF is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a digital, single-gang, non-volatile, 8-bit (256 wiper steps), potentiometer device.
Key features of the MCP4541T-103E/MF include:
1. Non-volatile Memory: The component has an integrated EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), which allows it to retain its settings even when power is disconnected. This eliminates the need for external storage devices.
2. Single-Gang Potentiometer: The MCP4541T-103E/MF is designed as a single-gang potentiometer, meaning it can act as a variable resistor in electronic circuits. It offers 256 wiper steps, allowing for precise and accurate adjustment.
3. Serial Communication: The IC component communicates using a two-wire serial interface, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and other digital devices. The serial interface facilitates easy control and configuration of the potentiometer settings.
4. On-Chip Wiper Storage: The MCP4541T-103E/MF includes an on-chip wiper storage register, which enables it to automatically recall the last wiper position on power-up. This feature ensures the potentiometer retains its previous settings whenever power is reapplied
