Non-volatile 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
devices can be used to replace the common mechani-
cal trim pot in applications where the operating and
terminal voltages are within CMOS process limitations
(V

All inputs that would be used to interface to a Host
Controller support High Voltage on their input pin. This
allows the MCP4XXX device to be used in split power
rail applications.
An example of this is a battery application where the
PIC
(4.8V) and the MCP4XXX device is powered by the
3.3V regulated voltage.
For SPI applications, these inputs are:
• CS
• SCK
• SDI (or SDI/SDO)
• WP
• SHDN

input signals need to be able to support the PIC MCU
output high voltage (V
In Example #1
input signals need to be able to support the PIC MCU
output high voltage (V
becomes too large, then the customer may be required
to do some level shifting due to MCP4XXX V
related to Host Controller V
In Example #2
input signals need to be able to support the lower
voltage of the PIC MCU output high voltage level (V
