EYE ON NPI - Microchip Technology MCP41U83 (Single) and MCP42U83 (Dual) Potentiometers
This week's EYE ON NPI takes a look at a new product with a lot of potential: it's the Microchip Technology MCP41U83 (Single) and MCP42U83 (Dual) Digital Potentiometer series. This family of solid-state potentiometers is ready to replace your mechanical knobs and trimmers: no through hole soldering, and no mechanical failures due to oil, dirt or vibration. With 10-bit resolution, you'll get excellent repeatability and precision for tweaking analog voltages. And, the high 100MHz+ bandwidth means you can use it for filters, audio, sensors, without worry that about losing your signal shape. Potentiometers are trusty mechanical-to-electrical components, used in almost every design to convert mechanical motion - both linear and rotational - to an electronic signal that can easily be measured. They're inexpensive, available in thousands of configurations (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/category/potentiometers-variable-resistors/5): linear or logarithmic, panel mount or SMT, single or dual, linear or rotational, in values from 1 ohm up to 1 Meg. They all pretty much work the same way, with a strip of conductive material such that from end-to-end the resistance is the total 'range' of the pot, and a wiper that literally wipes across from one end to another. Pots can be easily configured as voltage dividers by putting a signal across the two ends and then 'tapping' in to the wiper. Or, they can be rheostats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer#Rheostat) where only one end and the wiper are used to make a variable resistor value. We love pots and trimmers and use them all the time, but they have serious down-sides. Over time, the wipers eventually scrape through the conductive material creating 'scratchy' pots that jump around in value. Or, oil and dust get in and gunk up the internals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUMxFIH5BN8). They can also drift over time or with humidity so that the center isn't really centered anymore. Also, if your product gets moved around, the knob can get bumped or if its a trimmer, it can get shifted from the vibration (https://forum.digikey.com/t/potentiometer-locking-adhesive-goop/50757) - for that reason if you open up a product with trimmers often times they are dabbed with wax or glue to keep them 'set' (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mg-chemicals/4228A-55ML/17884735). Thus the genius of digital pots! The Microchip Technology MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) and MCP42U83 series chips can replace the mechanical versions while providing I2C or SPI interface for configuration. Unlike many digital pot chips we've used in the past, the MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) has 10-bits of resolution for 1024 positions - most top-out at 7-bits or 128 positions! That means you'll actually get better resolution and repeatability than a mechanical pot. Also, many digipots lose their value when power cycled, but the MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) comes with internal non-volatile memory so once you've settled on a value you can save it semi-permanently. Note that the NVRAM is rated for 1000 cycle writes so just be aware you can't write to it continuously. The MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) comes with both I2C and SPI interfaces. For I2C there are two address pins so you can select up to 4 addresses. For SPI, the pots can be 'daisy-chained' together for up to 128 without needing separate CS lines for each one. For power/logic you can use 2.7~5.5V. If you happen to want to use this for a split supply, you can but the split voltages will still need to be no more than -2.75 and +2.75V. A nice specification we noted in the datasheet is the high bandwidth, with tens-of-MHz even at 100Kohm - this makes it a fine substitute for trimmers in analog settings where signal is passing through the pot such as filters or op-amp circuits. For times when you have stereo signals you want to manage at the same time, there's also the MCP42U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/hcqj8nn2) which has dual separated pots inside. Both configurations come in both QFN and TSSOP packages, for easy pick-and-placing. We really like the ease and simplicity of these digital potentiometers with good documentation and just enough features to solve common engineering requirements. Whether you need the signal channel MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) or dual MCP42U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/hcqj8nn2), 5K or 100K, QFN or TSSOP. DigiKey has the full series in stock (https://www.digikey.com/short/wz13wpp5) right now for immediate shipment! Order today and you can start integrating these components into your next design by tomorrow afternoon.

Girl on Fire Dress: xLights and Adafruit Sparkle Motion Controller
🔥 This LED project is literally a “Girl on Fire” moment! Inspired by Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, we used the Sparkle Motion controller with WLED and xLights to light up a cosplay dress — but the same setup works for any LED project: costumes, props, stage shows, art installations, and more. In this tutorial, you’ll learn: How to install and configure WLED on the Sparkle Motion boards — a line of compact ESP32 LED controllers with USB-C, microphone input, and Stemma-QT support. How to set up the full Sparkle Motion board for multi-channel LED projects with both WLED and xLights. Step-by-step xLights sequencing to create synchronized animations for cosplay builds, music-reactive costumes, or massive LED art installations. Why this combo rocks: WLED = quick setup and instant wireless control. xLights = professional-grade sequencing and music sync. Sparkle Motion boards = ESP32 power, Wi-Fi, multiple LED channels, and tons of expandability.

The Great Search: CAN-FD update to MCP2515
This week we got a request to update our CAN Featherwing (https://www.digikey.com/short/wd08n1ft) and CAN BFF (https://www.digikey.com/short/dtjdhvtw) to support CAN FD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_FD) - that's a v2 of the classic CAN interface and is pretty much standard now. The biggest upgrade is FD has Flexible Data rate, so you don't have to have perfectly sync'd data. Let's find something with SPI interface, and CAN FD support.

Desk of Ladyada - Prototyping CAN FD Featherwing & BFFs
This week we designed some prototypes: CAN FD version of our FeatherWing and BFF. We also designed a board for the AP33772S (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngQT0Et32wM) which we covered on EYE ON NPI - this is a chip that can do extended range USB Type C Power Delivery (https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd) and it seems, Programmable Power Supply mode (https://hackaday.com/2025/03/24/pps-is-the-hottest-usb-c-feature-you-didnt-know-about/). Might also do one for the AP33771C (https://www.digikey.com/short/022nd0fp) too with li'l switches like our HUSB238 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5991). We also wrapped up the STHS34PF80 driver (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_STHS34PF80) and we'll have a breakout for that shortly once we get chips on order.

EYE ON NPI - Diodes Inc's AP3377 series USB PD3.1 Sink Controllers
This week's EYE ON NPI will extend your power supply options, it's Diodes Inc's AP3377 series USB PD3.1 Sink Controllers (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/d/diodes/ap3377-usb-sink-controllers) a pair of chips that take the USB Type Power Delivery Sink specification to new highs with extended voltage ranges and two methods of configuration: the AP33772S (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) has I2C control interface while the AP33771C (https://www.digikey.com/short/022nd0fp) has two resistors to set the voltage and current limit. We've covered USB Power delivery sink controllers on EYE ON NPI before (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) with chips that can be configured to request higher voltages than 5V from a USB port. This is a boon for getting rid of DC jacks with various voltage and current ratings. It also helps prevent accidents where folks plug in a 12V power supply into a 5V port just because the plug is the same size. With classic USB power delivery, the client device communicates over the CC pins to the upstream computer or power plug to request any of the standard voltages: 5V, 9V, 12V (optional), 15V, or 20V and from 1A up to 5A. With software negotiation, the sink can figure out what power supply voltages are available then accept or reject to get the best power supply efficiency and performance. As we see adoption across many industries to use standard USB C, the power needs have also been expanded! As of USB PD v3.1 there is now Extended Power Range (https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd) which adds "three new fixed voltages: 28V (above 100W), 36V (above 140W) and 48V (above 180W)" for charging bigger devices like laptops or electric scooters. Plus a "new adjustable voltage mode enabling a range from 15V to one of three maximum voltages (28V, 36V, or 48V) depending on the available power allowing the device being powered to request specific voltages to a 100 mV resolution." That first quote is pretty clear: we now just have bigger voltages available so we can keep under the 5A current limit that fixes how much current the contacts themselves can handle with standard USB C ports/cables. The second is interesting because it implies we can now select voltages that are outside the standard issue. Now AVS only allows adjustment over 15V, probably this was a compromise since there's big jumps between 28/36/48V. There's also a separate variable-voltage specification called Programmable Power Supply (https://hackaday.com/2025/03/24/pps-is-the-hottest-usb-c-feature-you-didnt-know-about/) a.k.a PPS a.ka. "Fast Charge" (https://www.usb.org/node/585) which allows finer resolution from 3.3V up to 21V - or whatever is the max voltage on the power adapter - in 20mV voltage steps and 50mA current steps. Popularized by tablet/phone maker Samsung but now is appearing on other devices, it recognizes that often times charging speed is limited by the thermal dissipation capabilities of the charging circuitry. That is to say, even with buck converters, if they use tiny SMT parts there's still an 'optimal' voltage and current level that will give the best efficiency and thus charge rate. Just like not all voltages are always supported by USB PD power supplies, PPS support is not required so check the side of the adapter or the manual, to see if it mentions PPS and the voltage/current range. For PPS support, you need to use the AP33772S (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) because there's fine tuning required. But if you just want 'every day' AVS/PD support, where you can select the voltage and current required, the AP33771C (https://www.digikey.com/short/022nd0fp) is much simpler. Instead of having a full I2C setup and configuration, two resistors are queried on power up and used to auto-negotiate. The onboard LED can provide some basic feedback on whether negotiation succeeded. According to the AP33772S datasheet, there is a variant of the chip, AP33772SDKZ-13-FA02 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/diodes-incorporated/AP33772SDKZ-13-FA02/27346457) that supports having VSEL resistor for initial voltage configuration - that part is available for special order only. If you want a simple, low-cost way to add USB Type C power delivery with extended voltage support and PPS capabilities, the the AP33772S (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) and AP33771C (https://www.digikey.com/short/022nd0fp) are easy ways to make customizable or stand-alone power supplies easy. Now there's no excuse to not convert your next design to run on USB and ditch that confusing DC power plug for good! Whichever one you choose, they're both in stock right now at DigiKey for immediate shipment. There's even eval boards (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/d/diodes/ap3377-usb-sink-controllers) to get your design kick-started fast. Order today and you'll have fresh chips in hand by tomorrow to make your power delivery dr

The Great Search — 24-bit I2C ADC Chip for RTD sensors
This week we got a request on the forums (https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?t=219635) for a way to read PT100/PT1000 RTD sensors over I2C. To be honest, we only really stock the MAX31865 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/analog-devices-inc-maxim-integrated/MAX31865ATP/3681476) which is SPI only. Let's find a chip that could do RTD reads over I2C: that would require 24-bit precision, but not necessarily high speed! Also ideally it could do differential reads. See the chosen part on DigiKey https://www.digikey.com/short/q7z2575h #circuitpython #sensorhacks #thegreatsearch
Desk of Ladyada - Blinka x Tachyon, BMP585, VEML6046, e-Ink bonnet
This week we got Claude working natively on Windows (yay!) which speeds up development since we're not hitting the filesystem through multiple layers. That meant we also worked on a bunch of little breakouts: the BMP585 protos came in and those worked fine. Plus we knocked out the VEML6046 RGB+IR sensor library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_VEML6046) and started work on a few others. It turns out the bq25628e (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_bq25628e) was not what we wanted in a charger, because ILimit doesn't affect the charge rate, which is like 40mA by default - boo! We'll find another alternative and also try to get back to that bq25798 (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_bq25798) solar charger shortly. We also worked on the e-Ink bonnet, which worked great as rev A and only needed some pinout swaps - thanks to BlitzCity for updating the CircuitPython-api EPD library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_EPD) to add support for the bigger 7.5" & friends which we verified on Raspberry Pi and also the Particle Tachyon - speaking of which we are getting Blinka support into main for that board!
