Evaluating the MCP4018 Device (A Digital Potentiometer with
I
2
C interface)
The MCP4018 is a Digital Potentiometer that is in a 6-lead SC70 package with an I
2
C
serial interface. This allows the device to be communicated to (Read and Write) by the
PICkit Serial Analyzer. For this to occur, the PICkit Serial Analyzer signals must be
connected to the correct MCP4018 signals. These connections are shown in
Figure 2-6.
Other Digital Potentiometers that are supported by this evaluation board are shown in
Table 2-4.
