PIN DESCRIPTIONS

The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.

TABLE 3-1:

PIN FUNCTION TABLE

3.1

Analog Inputs (VIN+, VIN-)

VIN+ and VIN- are differential signal input pins. The

MCP3425 device accepts a fully differential analog

input signal which is connected on the VIN+ and VIN-

input pins. The differential voltage that is converted is

defined by VIN = (VIN+ - VIN-) where VIN+ is the voltage

applied at the VIN+ pin and VIN- is the voltage applied

at the VIN- pin. The input signal level is amplified by the

programmable

gain

amplifier

(PGA)

before

the

conversion. The differential input voltage should not

exceed an absolute of (VREF/PGA) for accurate

measurement, where VREF is the internal reference

voltage (2.048V) and PGA is the PGA gain setting. The

converter output code will saturate if the input range

exceeds (VREF/PGA).

The absolute voltage range on each of the differential

input pins is from VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V. Any voltage

above or below this range will cause leakage currents

through the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) diodes at

the input pins. This ESD current can cause unexpected

performance of the device. The common mode of the

analog inputs should be chosen such that both the

differential analog input range and the absolute voltage

range on each pin are within the specified operating

range

Characteristics” and Section 4.0 “Description of

Device Operation”.

3.2

Supply Voltage (VDD, VSS)

VDD is the power supply pin for the device. This pin

requires an appropriate bypass capacitor of about

0.1 µF (ceramic) to ground. An additional 10 µF

capacitor (tantalum) in parallel is also recommended

to further attenuate high frequency noise present in

some application boards. The supply voltage (VDD)

must be maintained in the 2.7V to 5.5V range for spec-

ified operation.

VSS is the ground pin and the current return path of the

device. The user must connect the VSS pin to a ground

plane through a low impedance connection. If an

analog ground path is available in the application PCB

(printed circuit board), it is highly recommended that

the VSS pin be tied to the analog ground path or

isolated within an analog ground plane of the circuit

board.

3.3

Serial Clock Pin (SCL)

SCL is the serial clock pin of the I2C interface. The

MCP3425 acts only as a slave and the SCL pin

accepts only external serial clocks. The input data

from the Master device is shifted into the SDA pin on

the rising edges of the SCL clock and output from the

MCP3425 occurs at the falling edges of the SCL clock.

The SCL pin is an open-drain N-channel driver.

Therefore, it needs a pull-up resistor from the VDD line

to the SCL pin. Refer to Section 5.3 “I2C Serial Com-

munications” for more details of I2C Serial Interface

communication.

3.4

Serial Data Pin (SDA)

SDA is the serial data pin of the I2C interface. The SDA

pin is used for input and output data. In read mode, the

conversion result is read from the SDA pin (output). In

write mode, the device configuration bits are written

(input) though the SDA pin. The SDA pin is an open-

drain N-channel driver. Therefore, it needs a pull-up

resistor from the VDD line to the SDA pin. Except for

start and stop conditions, the data on the SDA pin must

be stable during the high period of the clock. The high

or low state of the SDA pin can only change when the

clock signal on the SCL pin is low. Refer to Section 5.3

“I2C Serial Communications” for more details of I2C

Serial Interface communication.
