Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Quick Start Instructions
1.1
INTRODUCTION
The following sections provide an overview of the MCP3424 Evaluation Board and
demonstrate how to use it with using the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122).
The following topics are covered:
• Description of the MCP3424 Evaluation Board
• How to use MCP3424 Evaluation Board with the PICkit Serial Analyzer
1.2
DESCRIPTION OF THE MCP3424 EVALUATION BOARD
The MCP3424 Evaluation Board (P/N MCP3424EV) contains an MCP3424 18-bit
Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The MCP3424 is a 4-channel ADC
device with various configuration options. The board has analog input connection pads
and various test pads. The user can connect inputs and test the conversion results
using the PICkit Serial Analyzer and its PC graphic user interface (GUI). The MCP3424
Evaluation Board has the following interfaces:
• PICkit Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122) for writing configuration register bits and
reading the conversion data.
Note:
The user can use this board without the PICkit Serial Analyzer as long as
the VDD, SCL, and SDA are provided through J1 connector. This Evaluation
Board does not include MCU.
The board has test points for SDL, SDA, and analog inputs. By connecting an oscilloscope to these test points, the user can examine the data communications through the
I2C™ bus line and observe the resulting conversion output. Refer to Appendix
A. “Schematic and Layouts”
1.2.1
I2C Address Bits and A0 Address Bit Selection
The I2C device code and address bits of the MCP3424 device are:
• Device Code: ‘1101’
• A2, A1, A0 Address Bits: determined by the JP2 (Adr1 pin) and JP3 (Adr0 pin).
• See Table 1-1 for the I2C Device Address bits and JP2 and JP3 connections.

GETTING STARTED WITH PICKIT SERIAL ANALYZER
Figure 1-1 shows the MCP3424 Evaluation Board, and Figure 1-2 shows the
MCP3424 and PICkit Serial Analyzer.
The following describes how to use them together:
1. Connect the MCP3424 Evaluation Board’s 6-pin socket to the PICkit Serial Analyzer as shown in Figure 1-2.
2. Connect the oscilloscope probes to the SCL and SDA test pins (optional).
3. VDD Selection: You can use the VDD from the PICkit Serial Analyzer or use your
own external VDD. The JP1 connector selects the VDD path.
(a) Connect JP1, if using VDD from PICkit Serial Analyzer,
(b) Disconnect JP1 and apply VDD at VDD1 pin, if you are using an external VDD.
4. Address bit selection using JP2 and JP3 connectors.
The I2C device code and address bits of the MCP3424 device are:
• MCP3424 I2C device code: ‘1101’
• A2, A1, A0 Address Bits: determined by the JP2 (Adr1 pin) and JP3 (Adr0 pin)
• The JP2 and JP3 connectors are external address bit selections. Connect these
pins to VSS, VDD, float, or connect any arbitrary voltage
• See Table 1-1 for the I2C Device Address bits and JP2 and JP3 connections
5. Connecting VDD: LED D1 turns on when VDD is applied. The PICkit Serial Analyzer will provide VDD automatically, if it is connected to the PC. Make sure LED
D1 turns on, when you execute the command using the PICkit Serial Analyzer.
6. Connecting the analog inputs: If you need to measure a single-ended input,
connect the unused pin (example, CHX-) to VSS.
• Connecting the inputs: The MCP3424 Evaluation Board has input pads for analog inputs for each input channel. You can connect all inputs at the same time and
multiplex the input channel using configuration register settings. You can also
leave the unused channel inputs floating
7. Use the PICkit Serial Analyzer PC GUI to send I2C write and read commands.

CAUTION
Each analog input pin has an ESD diode. Certain input conditions can damage the
device. Please use the following conditions:
(a) Do not apply an input greater than the input range specified by the MCP3424 Data
Sheet.
(b) Apply the input signal after VDD is powered-up.

7. Select the VDD voltage of the MCP3424 Evaluation Board and click the Next
button.
Case 1: When you use VDD from the PICkit Serial Analyzer:
If you choose PICkit Serial will power your device and 5 Volts as shown below,
the MCP3424 Evaluation Board is powered by the 5V DC from the PICkit Serial
Analyzer through the JP1 jumper. In this case, make sure that the JP1 jumper on
the MCP3424 Evaluation Board is connected.
Case 2: When you use your own VDD:
You can also provide your own VDD voltage by applying a VDD voltage at VD1
test point. In this case, make sure that the JP1 jumper is disconnected.
