The MCP4021/2/3/4 device’s WiperLock technology
allows application-specific calibration settings to be
secured in the EEPROM without requiring the use of an
additional write-protect pin.
The WiperLock technology prevents the serial
commands from doing the following:
• Incrementing or decrementing the wiper setting
• Writing the wiper setting to the non-volatile

to prevent the wiper setting from being altered by noise
or intentional transitions on the U/D and CS pins, while
still providing flexibility for production or calibration
environments.
Both the CS and U/D input pins are tolerant of signals
up to 12V. This allows the flexibility to multiplex the
digital pot’s control signals onto application signals for
manufacturing/calibration.
