Product details

I²C digital pot with 129 tap positions

The MCP4531-103E/MS is a single-channel, 10 kΩ digital potentiometer from Microchip's MCP45xx family, offering 129 tap positions via an I²C interface. The linear taper suits level-setting and trim applications where the wiper resistance is a consistent 75 Ω typical across the range.

The 150 ppm/°C tempo means the 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance drifts about 150 Ω over a 100°C swing — something to budget if the pot sets a precision bias.

The selectable address feature lets you hang up to four of these on the same I²C bus by tying the address pins high or low — handy for multi-channel trim boards without extra GPIOs.

Frequently asked questions

How can I order the MCP4531-103E/MS or check stock?

The MCP4531-103E/MS is an active Microchip part. Submit an RFQ for a firm quote.

What is the closest functional second-source for the MCP4531-103E/MS?

The MCP4014T-103E/OT is a similar digital pot from Microchip, also 10 kΩ with ±20% tolerance and volatile memory, but it uses an up/down interface instead of I²C and has only 64 taps. It won't drop into the same firmware or bus — the interface is different, so a board or code change is required.
