Microchip Technology MCP4021T
MCP4021T variants from Microchip Technology
MCP4021T Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Microcontrollers.
Key Features
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 4 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 103E/SN, 202E/MS, 502E/MC, 503E/MC. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Microcontrollers — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained
Ordering Variants
Compare 4 MCP4021T part numbers by package, electrical parameters, lifecycle, and availability. Use RFQ for stock and lead-time confirmation.
| Part Number | Description | Manufacturer | Lifecycle | RoHS | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MCP4021T-103E/SN | IC DGTL POT 10KOHM 64TAP 8SOIC | Microchip Technology | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| MCP4021T-202E/MS | IC DGTL POT 2.1KOHM 64TAP 8MSOP | Microchip Technology | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| MCP4021T-502E/MC | IC DGTL POT 5KOHM 64TAP 8DFN | Microchip Technology | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| MCP4021T-503E/MC | IC DGTL POT 50KOHM 64TAP 8DFN | Microchip Technology | Active | Compliant | In Stock |

How to Choose the Right MCP4021T Microcontrollers
Match the footprint first
Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For MCP4021T, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "MCP4021T" — include the full suffix (e.g. 103E/SN, 202E/MS, 502E/MC). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
