MCP41010

The MCP41010 is a single-channel, 8-bit digital potentiometer features 10kΩ end-to-end resistance value with an SPI serial interface. The wiper position varies linearly and is controlled via the SPI interface. The MCP41010 has outstanding AC and DC characteristics, and consumes <1 µA during static operation. Applications for the MCP41010 digital potentiometer include audio equipment (volume and tone controls), servo-motor control, battery charging and control, communications (line impedance matching), power supplies, instrumentation (gain, offset adjust), LCD contrast control and programmable filters. The MCP41010 is available in 8-pin PDIP and SOIC packages.

Understanding the 555 Timer IC

“I had a really difficult time understanding exactly what 555 timer circuits do and how they work. Most explanations online refer to their functionality when paired with RC series, but not exactly what logical interactions between the different input pins …
