Microchip MCP4017/18/19: 7-Bit single I²C™ digital pots with volatile memory in SC70
Microchip MCP4017 MCP4018 MCP4019

Microchip Technology have released the MCP4017, MCP4018, and, MCP4019 families of volatile digital potentiometers.

These device families offer a wide range of product options using an I²C interface. This family of devices supports 7-bit, volatile memory versions, and potentiometer and rheostat configurations.

All devices are specified over the extended industrial temperature range of -40 to +125 degrees Celsius, and are available in several industry-standard package 5/6-ld SC70 packages. Unlike mechanical potentiometers, the MCP4017/8/9 devices can be controlled digitally, through an I2C interface. This eliminates the need for human interaction, which increases system accuracy, flexibility and manufacturing throughput; while decreasing manufacturing costs. Digital control also provides more system flexibility than mechanical control.
