The on-board 2.048V reference voltage enables an
input range of ± 2.048V differentially (full scale
range = 4.096V/PGA).
These devices can output analog-to-digital conversion
results at rates of 3.75, 15, 60, or 240 samples per
second depending on the user controllable
configuration bit settings using the two-wire I2C serial
interface. During each conversion, the device
calibrates offset and gain errors automatically. This
provides accurate conversion results from conversion
to conversion over variations in temperature and power
supply fluctuation.
The user can select the PGA gain of x1, x2, x4, or x8
before the analog-to-digital conversion takes place.
This allows the MCP3422/3/4 devices to convert a very
weak input signal with high resolution.
The MCP3422/3/4 devices have two conversion
modes: (a) One-Shot Conversion mode and (b)
Continuous Conversion mode. In One-Shot conversion
mode, the device performs a single conversion and
enters a low current standby mode automatically until it
receives another conversion command. This reduces
current consumption greatly during idle periods. In
Continuous conversion mode, the conversion takes
place continuously at the set conversion speed. The
device updates its output buffer with the most recent
conversion data.
The devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V power
supply and have a two-wire I2C compatible serial
interface for a standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), or
high-speed (3.4 MHz) mode.
The I2C address bits for the MCP3423 and MCP3424
are selected by using two external I2C address
selection pins (Adr0 and Adr1). The user can configure
the device to one of eight available addresses by
connecting these two address selection pins to VDD,
VSS or float. The I2C address bits of the MCP3422 are
programmed at the factory during production.

MCP3422/3/4
The MCP3422 is available in 8-pin SOIC, DFN, and
MSOP packages. The MCP3423 is available in 10-pin
DFN, and MSOP packages. The MCP3424 is available
in 14-pin SOIC and TSSOP packages.
The MCP3422 and MCP3423 devices have two
differential input channels and the MCP3424 has fourdifferential input channels. All electrical properties of
these three devices are the same except the
differences in the number of input channels and I2C
address bit selection options.

EP
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP); must be connected to
VSS.
Analog Inputs (CHn+, CHn-)
CHn+ and CHn- are differential input pins for
channel n. The user can also connect CHn- pin to VSS
for a single-ended operation. See Figure 6-4 for
differential and single-ended connection examples.
The maximum voltage range on each differential input
pin is from VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V. Any voltage below or
above 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 input voltage at the input pins should
be within the specified operating range defined in
Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics” and
Section 4.0 “Description of Device Operation”.
See Section 4.5 “Input Voltage Range” for more
details of the input voltage range.

VDD is the power supply pin for the device. This pin
requires an appropriate bypass ceramic capacitor of
about 0.1 µF to ground to attenuate high frequency
noise presented in application circuit board. An
additional 10 µF capacitor (tantalum) in parallel is also
recommended to further attenuate current spike
noises. The supply voltage (VDD) must be maintained
in the 2.7V to 5.5V range for specified 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.
Figure 3-1 shows the input structure of the device. The
device uses a switched capacitor input stage at the
front end. CPIN is the package pin capacitance and
typically about 4 pF. D1 and D2 are the ESD diodes.
CSAMPLE is the differential input sampling capacitor.

Serial Clock Pin (SCL)
SCL is the serial clock pin of the I2C interface. The
device act 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 slave
device 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 Communications” 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 opendrain 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.
Typical range of the pull-up resistor value for SCL and
SDA is from 5 kΩ to 10 kΩ for standard (100 kHz) and
fast (400 kHz) modes, and less than 1 kΩ for high
speed mode (3.4 MHz).
3.5
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
There is an internal electrical connection between the
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP) and the VSS pin; they must
be connected to the same potential on the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB).

DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE
OPERATION
4.1
General Overview
The MCP3422/3/4 devices are differential multichannel low-power, 18-Bit Delta-Sigma A/D converters
with an I2C serial interface. The devices contain an
input channel selection multiplexer (mux), a
programmable gain amplifier (PGA), an on-board
voltage reference (2.048V), and an internal oscillator.
When the device powers up (POR is set), it
automatically resets the configuration bits to default
settings.
Device default settings are:
•
•
•
•
Conversion bit resolution: 12 bits (240 sps)
Input channel: Channel 1
PGA gain setting: x1
Continuous conversion
Once the device is powered-up, the user can
reprogram the configuration bits using I2C serial
interface any time. The configuration bits are stored in
volatile memory.
The threshold voltage is set at 2.2V with a tolerance of
approximately ±5%. If the supply voltage falls below
this threshold, the device will be held in a reset
condition. The typical hysteresis value is approximately
200 mV.
The POR circuit is shut-down during the low-power
standby mode. Once a power-up event has occurred,
the
device
requires
additional
delay
time
(approximately 300 µs) before a conversion takes
place. During this time, all internal analog circuitries are
settled before the first conversion occurs. Figure 4-1
illustrates the conditions for power-up and power-down
events under typical start-up conditions.

Input channel selection: CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4.
PGA Gain selection: x1, x2, x4, or x8
Continuous or one-shot conversion
In the Continuous Conversion mode, the device
converts the inputs continuously. While in the One-Shot
Conversion mode, the device converts the input one
time and stays in the low-power standby mode until it
receives another command for a new conversion.
During the standby mode, the device consumes less
than 1 µA maximum.
4.2
Power-On-Reset (POR)
The device contains an internal Power-On-Reset
(POR) circuit that monitors power supply voltage (VDD)
during operation. This circuit ensures correct device
start-up at system power-up and power-down events.
The device resets all configuration register bits to
default settings as soon as the POR is set.

POR Operation.
Internal Voltage Reference
The device contains an on-board 2.048V voltage
reference. This reference voltage is for internal use
only and not directly measurable. The specification of
the reference voltage is part of the device’s gain and
drift specifications. Therefore, there is no separate
specification for the on-board reference.
4.4
Analog Input Channels
The user can select the input channel using the
configuration register bits. Each channel can be used
for differential or single-ended input.
Each input channel has a switched capacitor input
structure. The internal sampling capacitor (3.2 pF for
PGA = 1) is charged and discharged to process a
conversion. The charging and discharging of the input
sampling capacitor creates dynamic input currents at
each input pin. The current is a function of the
differential input voltages, and inversely proportional to
the internal sampling capacitance, sampling frequency,
and PGA setting.
The POR has built-in hysteresis and a timer to give a
high degree of immunity to potential ripples and noises
on the power supply. A 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor
should be mounted as close as possible to the VDD pin
for additional transient immunity.

Input Voltage Range
The differential (VIN) and common mode voltage
(VINCOM) at the input pins without considering PGA
setting are defined by:
V IN = ( CHn+ ) – ( CHn- )
CHn+ ) + ( CHn- )V INCOM = (---------------------------------------------2
4.6
Input Impedance
The device uses a switched-capacitor input stage using
a 3.2 pF sampling capacitor. This capacitor is switched
(charged and discharged) at a rate of the sampling
frequency that is generated by on-board clock. The
differential input impedance varies with the PGA
settings. The typical differential input impedance during
a normal mode operation is given by:
Where:
n
=
The input signal levels are amplified by the internal
programmable gain amplifier (PGA) at the front end of
the ΔΣ modulator.
The user needs to consider two conditions for the input
voltage range: (a) Differential input voltage range and
(b) Absolute maximum input voltage range.
4.5.1
DIFFERENTIAL INPUT VOLTAGE
RANGE
The device performs conversions using its internal
reference voltage (VREF = 2.048V). Therefore, the
absolute value of the differential input voltage (VIN),
with PGA setting is included, needs to be less than the
internal reference voltage. The device will output saturated output codes (all 0s or all 1s except sign bit) if the
absolute value of the input voltage (VIN), with PGA
setting is included, is greater than the internal
reference voltage (VREF = 2.048V). The input full scale
voltage range is given by:
EQUATION 4-1:
– V REF ≤ ( V IN • PGA ) ≤ ( V REF – 1LSB )
Where:
VIN
=
CHn+ - CHn-
VREF
=
2.048V
If the input voltage level is greater than the above limit,
the user can use a voltage divider and bring down the
input level within the full scale range. See Figure 6-7 for
more details of the input voltage divider circuit.
4.5.2
ZIN(f) = 2.25 MΩ/PGA
nth input channel (n=1, 2, 3, or 4)
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM INPUT
VOLTAGE RANGE
The input voltage at each input pin must be less than
the following absolute maximum input voltage limits:
Since the sampling capacitor is only switching to the
input pins during a conversion process, the above input
impedance is only valid during conversion periods. In a
low power standby mode, the above impedance is not
presented at the input pins. Therefore, only a leakage
current due to ESD diode is presented at the input pins.
The conversion accuracy can be affected by the input
signal source impedance when any external circuit is
connected to the input pins. The source impedance
adds to the internal impedance and directly affects the
time required to charge the internal sampling capacitor.
Therefore, a large input source impedance connected
to the input pins can degrade the system performance,
such as offset, gain, and Integral Non-Linearity (INL)
errors. Ideally, the input source impedance should be
zero. This can be achievable by using an operational
amplifier with a closed-loop output impedance of tens
of ohms.
4.7
Aliasing and Anti-aliasing Filter
Aliasing occurs when the input signal contains timevarying signal components with frequency greater than
half the sample rate. In the aliasing conditions, the
device can output unexpected output codes. For
applications that are operating in electrical noise
environments, the time-varying signal noise or high
frequency interference components can be easily
added to the input signals and cause aliasing. Although
the device has an internal first order sinc filter, the filter
response (Figure 2-11) may not give enough
attenuation to all aliasing signal components. To avoid
the aliasing, an external anti-aliasing filter, which can
be accomplished with a simple RC low-pass filter, is
typically used at the input pins. The low-pass filter cuts
off the high frequency noise components and provides
a band-limited input signal to the input pins.
• Input voltage < VDD+0.3V
• Input voltage > VSS-0.3V
4.8
Any input voltage outside this range can turn on the
input ESD protection diodes, and result in input
leakage current, causing conversion errors, or
permanently damage the device.
The device performs a self-calibration of offset and
gain for each conversion. This provides reliable
conversion results from conversion-to-conversion over
variations in temperature as well as power supply
fluctuations.
Care must be taken in setting the input voltage ranges
so that the input voltage does not exceed the absolute
maximum input voltage range.

Digital Output Codes and
Conversion to Real Values
4.9.1
DIGITAL OUTPUT CODE FROM
DEVICE
The digital output code is proportional to the input
voltage and PGA settings. The output data format is a
binary two’s complement. With this code scheme, the
MSB can be considered a sign indicator. When the
MSB is a logic ‘0’, the input is positive. When the MSB
is a logic ‘1’, the input is negative. The following is an
example of the output code:

Table 4-1 shows the LSB size of each conversion rate

obtained by multiplying the output codes with LSB. See
the following section for the input voltage calculation
using the output codes.
for a positive full scale input voltage: 011...111
Example: (CHn+ - CHn-) • PGA = 2.048V
The MSB (sign bit) is always transmitted first through
the I2C serial data line. The resolution for each
conversion is 18, 16, 14, or 12 bits depending on the
conversion rate selection bit settings by the user.
The output codes will not roll-over even if the input
voltage exceeds the maximum input range. In this
case, the code will be locked at 0111...11 for all
voltages greater than (VREF - 1 LSB)/PGA and
1000...00 for voltages less than -VREF/PGA.

input levels for 18 bit conversion mode. Table 4-3

EQUATION 4-4:
CONVERTING OUTPUT
CODES TO INPUT
VOLTAGE
When the user gets the digital output codes from the
device as described in Section 4.9.1 “Digital output
code from device”, the next step is converting the
digital output codes to a measured input voltage.
Equation 4-4 shows an example of converting the
output codes to its corresponding input voltage.
If MSB = 0 (Positive Output Code):
If the sign indicator bit (MSB) is ‘0’, the input voltage
is obtained by multiplying the output code with the LSB
and divided by the PGA setting.
Where:
If the sign indicator bit (MSB) is ‘1’, the output code
needs to be converted to two’s complement before
multiplied by LSB and divided by the PGA setting.

output codes to input voltage.

USING THE DEVICES
Operating Modes
The user operates the device by setting up the device
configuration register using a write command
(see Figure 5-3) and reads the conversion data using a
read command (see Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5).
The device operates in two modes: (a) Continuous
Conversion Mode or (b) One-Shot Conversion Mode
(single conversion). This mode selection is made by
setting the O/C bit in the Configuration Register. Refer
to Section 5.2 “Configuration Register” for more
information.
5.1.1
CONTINUOUS CONVERSION
MODE (O/C BIT = 1)
The device performs a Continuous Conversion if the O/
C bit is set to logic “high”. Once the conversion is
completed, RDY bit is toggled to ‘0’ and the result is
placed at the output data register. The device
immediately begins another conversion and overwrites
the output data register with the most recent result. The
device clears the data ready flag (RDY bit = 0) when
the conversion is completed. The device sets the ready
flag bit (RDY bit = 1), if the latest conversion result has
been read by the Master.
• When writing configuration register:
- Setting RDY bit in continuous mode does not
affect anything
• When reading conversion data:
- RDY bit = 0 means the latest conversion
result is ready
- RDY bit = 1 means the conversion result is
not updated since the last reading. A new
conversion is under processing and the RDY
bit will be cleared when the new conversion
result is ready
© 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
5.1.2
ONE-SHOT CONVERSION MODE
(O/C BIT = 0)
Once the One-Shot Conversion Mode (single conversion) is selected, the device performs only one
conversion, updates the output data register, clears the
data ready flag (RDY = 0), and then enters a low power
standby mode. A new One-Shot Conversion is started
again when the device receives a new write command
with RDY = 1.
• When writing configuration register:
- The RDY bit needs to be set to begin a new
conversion in one-shot mode
• When reading conversion data:
- RDY bit = 0 means the latest conversion
result is ready
- RDY bit = 1 means the conversion result is
not updated since the last reading. A new
conversion is under processing and the RDY
bit will be cleared when the new conversion is
done
This One-Shot Conversion Mode is highly
recommended for low power operating applications
where the conversion result is needed by request on
demand. During the low current standby mode, the
device consumes less than 1 µA maximum (or 300 nA
typical). For example, if the user collects 18 bit
conversion data once a second in One-Shot
Conversion mode, the device draws only about one
fourth of its total operating current. In this example, the
device consumes approximately 36 µA (135 µA /
3.75 SPS = 36 µA), if the device performs only one
conversion per second (1 SPS) in 18-bit conversion
mode with 3V power supply.

Configuration Register
The user can rewrite the configuration byte any time
during the device operation. Register 5-1 shows the

The device has an 8-bit wide configuration register to

rate, and PGA gain. This register allows the user to
change the operating condition of the device and check
the status of the device operation.

If the configuration byte is read repeatedly by clocking
continuously after reading the data bytes (i.e., after the
5th byte in the 18-bit conversion mode), the state of the
RDY bit indicates whether the device is ready with new
conversion result. When the Master finds the RDY bit is
cleared, it can send a not-acknowledge (NAK) bit and
a stop bit to exit the current read operation and send a
new read command for the latest conversion data.
Once the conversion data has been read, the ready bit
toggles to ‘1’ until the next new conversion data is
ready. The conversion data in the output register is
overwritten every time a new conversion is completed.
Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5 show the examples of
reading the conversion data. The user can rewrite the

I2C Serial Communications
The
device
communicates
with
Master
(microcontroller) through a serial I2C (Inter-Integrated
Circuit) interface and support standard (100 kbits/sec),
fast (400 kbits/sec) and high-speed (3.4 Mbits/sec)
modes. The serial I2C is a bidirectional 2-wire data bus
communication protocol using open-drain SCL and
SDA lines.
The device can only be addressed as a slave. Once
addressed, it can receive configuration bits with a write
command or transmit the latest conversion results with
a read command. The serial clock pin (SCL) is an input
only and the serial data pin (SDA) is bidirectional. The
Master starts communication by sending a START bit
and terminates the communication by sending a STOP
bit. In read mode, the device releases the SDA line
after receiving NAK and STOP bits.
An example of a hardware connection diagram is
shown in Figure 6-1. More details of the I2C bus
characteristic is described in Section 5.6 “I2C Bus
Characteristics”.
5.3.1
I2C DEVICE ADDRESSING
The first byte after the START bit is always the address
byte of the device, which includes the device code
(4 bits), address bits (3 bits), and R/W bit. The device
code for the devices is 1101, which is programmed at
the factory. The I2C address bits (A2, A1, A0 bits) for
the MCP3423 and MCP3424 are user configurable and
determined by the logic status of the two external
address selection pins on the user’s application board
(Adr0 and Adr1 pins). The Master must know the Adr0
and Adr1 pin conditions before sending read or write
command. Figure 5-1 shows the details of the address
byte.
The three I2C address bits allow up to eight devices on
the same I2C bus line. The (R/W) bit determines if the
Master device wants to read the conversion data or
write to the Configuration register. If the (R/W) bit is set
(read mode), the device outputs the conversion data in
the following clocks. If the (R/W) bit is cleared (write
mode), the device expects a configuration byte in the
following clocks. When the device receives the correct
address byte, it outputs an acknowledge bit after the R/
W bit.
Figure 5-1 shows the address byte. Figure 5-3 through
Figure 5-5 show how to write the configuration register
bits and read the conversion results.

It is recommended to issue a General Call Reset or
General Call Latch command once after the device
has powered up. This will ensure that the device reads
the address pins in a stable condition, and avoid
latching the address bits while the power supply is
ramping up. This might cause inaccurate address pin
detection.

DEVICE ADDRESS BITS (A2, A1, A0)
AND ADDRESS SELECTION PINS
(MCP3423 AND MCP3424)
The MCP3423 and MCP3424 have two external
device address pins (Adr1, Adr0). These pins can be
set to a logic high (or tied to VDD), low (or tied to VSS),
or left floating (not connected to anything, or tied to
VDD/2), These combinations of logic level using the
two pins allow eight possible addresses. Table 5-3
shows the device address depending on the logic
status of the address selection pins.
When the address pin is left “floating”, the address pin
momentarily outputs a short pulse with an amplitude of
about VDD/2 during the latch event. The device also
latches this pin voltage at the same time.
If the “floating” pin is connected to a large parasitic
capacitance (>20 pF) or to a long PCB trace, this short
floating voltage output can be altered. As a result, the
device may not latch the pin correctly.
It is strongly recommended to keep the “floating” pin
pad as short as possible in the customer application
PCB and minimize the parasitic capacitance to the pin
as small as possible (< 20 pF).
Figure 5-2 shows an example of the Latch voltage
output at the address pin when the address pin is left
“floating”. The waveform at the Adr0 pin is captured by
using an oscilloscope probe with 15 pF of capacitance.
The device latches the floating condition immediately
after the General Call Latch command.

new latch event occurs. During normal operation (after
the address pins are latched), the address pins are
internally disabled from the rests of the internal circuit.

WRITING A CONFIGURATION BYTE
TO THE DEVICE
When the Master sends an address byte with the R/W
bit low (R/W = 0), the device expects one configuration
byte following the address. Any byte sent after this
second byte will be ignored. The user can change the
operating mode of the device by writing the
configuration register bits.

5.3.4
READING OUTPUT CODES AND
CONFIGURATION BYTE FROM THE
DEVICE
When the Master sends a read command (R/W = 1),
the device outputs both the conversion data and
configuration bytes. Each byte consists of 8 bits with
one acknowledge (ACK) bit. The ACK bit after the
address byte is issued by the device and the ACK bits
after each conversion data bytes are issued by the
Master.
When the device is configured for 18-bit conversion
mode, it outputs three data bytes followed by a
configuration byte. The first 6 data bits in the first data
byte are repeated MSB (= sign bit) of the conversion
data. The user can ignore the first 6 data bits, and take
the 7th data bit (D17) as the MSB of the conversion
data. The LSB of the 3rd data byte is the LSB of the
conversion data (D0).
The configuration byte follows the output data bytes.
The device repeatedly outputs the configuration byte
only if the Master sends clocks repeatedly after the
data bytes.
The device terminates the current outputs when it
receives a Not-Acknowledge (NAK), a repeated start or
a stop bit at any time during the output bit stream. It is
not required to read the configuration byte. However,
the Master may read the configuration byte to check
the RDY bit condition.The Master may continuously
send clock (SCL) to repeatedly read the configuration
byte (to check the RDY bit status).
Figures 5-4 and 5-5 show the timing diagrams of the
reading.
If the device is configured for 12, 14, or 16 bit-mode, the
device outputs two data bytes followed by a
configuration byte. In 16 bit-conversion mode, the MSB
(= sign bit) of the first data byte is D15. In 14-bit
conversion mode, the first two bits in the first data byte
are repeated MSB bits and can be ignored, and the 3rd
bit (D13) is the MSB (=sign bit) of the conversion data.
In 12-bit conversion mode, the first four bits are
repeated MSB bits and can be ignored. The 5th bit
(D11) of the byte represents the MSB (= sign bit) of the
conversion data. Table 5-3 summarizes the conversion
data output of each conversion mode.

General Call
5.5
The device acknowledges the general call address
(0x00 in the first byte). The meaning of the general call
address is always specified in the second byte. Refer
to Figure 5-6. The device supports the following three
general calls.
For more information on the general call, or other I2C
modes, please refer to the Phillips I2C specification.
5.4.1
GENERAL CALL RESET
The general call reset occurs if the second byte is
‘00000110’ (06h). At the acknowledgement of this
byte, the device will abort current conversion and
perform the following tasks:
(a) Internal reset similar to a Power-On-Reset (POR).
All configuration and data register bits are reset to
default values.
(b) Latch the logic status of external address selection
pins (Adr0 and Adr1 pins).
5.4.2
GENERAL CALL LATCH (MCP3423
AND MCP3424)
The general call latch occurs if the second byte is
‘00000100’ (04h). The device will latch the logic
status of the external address selection pins (Adr0 and
Adr1 pins), but will not perform a reset.
5.4.3
GENERAL CALL CONVERSION
The general call conversion occurs if the second byte
is ‘00001000’ (08h). All devices on the bus initiate a
conversion simultaneously. When the device receives
this command, the configuration will be set to the OneShot Conversion mode and a single conversion will be
performed. The PGA and data rate settings are
unchanged with this general call.

High-Speed (HS) Mode
The I2C specification requires that a high-speed mode
device must be ‘activated’ to operate in high-speed
mode. This is done by sending a special address byte
of “00001XXX” following the START bit. The “XXX” bits
are unique to the High-Speed (HS) mode Master. This
byte is referred to as the High-Speed (HS) Master
Mode Code (HSMMC). The MCP3422/3/4 devices do
not acknowledge this byte. However, upon receiving
this code, the device switches on its HS mode filters
and communicates up to 3.4 MHz on SDA and SCL
bus lines. The device will switch out of the HS mode on
the next STOP condition.
For more information on the HS mode, or other I2C
modes, please refer to the Philips I2C specification.
5.6
I2C Bus Characteristics
The I2C specification defines the following bus
protocol:
• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy
• During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes
in the data line while the clock line is HIGH will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined using Figure 5-7.
5.6.1
BUS NOT BUSY (A)
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
5.6.2
START DATA TRANSFER (B)
A HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a START condition. All
commands must be preceded by a START condition.
5.6.3
STOP DATA TRANSFER (C)
A LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a STOP condition. All
operations can be ended with a STOP condition.
5.6.4
DATA VALID (D)
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a START condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal.
The data on the line must be changed during the LOW
period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per
bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition
and terminated with a STOP condition.
DS22088C-page 25
MCP3422/3/4
5.6.5
ACKNOWLEDGE AND NONACKNOWLEDGE
The Master (microcontroller) and the slave (MCP3422/
3/4) use an acknowledge pulse as a hand shake of
communication for each byte. The ninth clock pulse of
each byte is used for the acknowledgement. The clock
pulse is always provided by the Master
(microcontroller) and the acknowledgement is issued
by the receiving device of the byte (Note: The
transmitting device must release the SDA line during
the acknowledge pulse.). The acknowledgement is
achieved by pulling-down the SDA line “LOW” during
the 9th clock pulse by the receiving device.
(A)
(B)
During reads, the Master (microcontroller) can
terminate the current read operation by not providing
an acknowledge bit (not Acknowledge (NAK)) on the
last byte. In this case, the MCP3422/3/4 devices
release the SDA line to allow the Master
(microcontroller) to generate a STOP or repeated
START condition.
The non-acknowledgement (NAK) is issued by
providing the SDA line to “HIGH” during the 9th clock
pulse.

This parameter is ensured by characterization and not 100% tested.
This specification is not a part of the I2C specification. This specification is equivalent to the Data Hold Time (THD:DAT)
plus SDA Fall (or rise) time: TAA = THD:DAT + TF (OR TR).
If this parameter is too short, it can create an unintended Start or Stop condition to other devices on the bus line. If this
parameter is too long, Clock Low time (TLOW) can be affected.
For Data Input: If this parameter is too long, the Data Input Setup (TSU:DAT) or Clock Low time (TLOW) can be affected.
For Data Output: This parameter is characterized, and tested indirectly by testing TAA parameter.

This parameter is ensured by characterization and not 100% tested.
This specification is not a part of the I2C specification. This specification is equivalent to the Data Hold Time (THD:DAT)
plus SDA Fall (or rise) time: TAA = THD:DAT + TF (OR TR).
If this parameter is too short, it can create an unintended Start or Stop condition to other devices on the bus line. If this
parameter is too long, Clock Low time (TLOW) can be affected.
For Data Input: If this parameter is too long, the Data Input Setup (TSU:DAT) or Clock Low time (TLOW) can be affected.
For Data Output: This parameter is characterized, and tested indirectly by testing TAA parameter.

BASIC APPLICATION
CONFIGURATION
The MCP3422/3/4 devices can be used for various
precision analog-to-digital converter applications.
These devices operate with very simple connections to
the application circuit. The following sections discuss
the examples of the device connections and
applications.
6.1
6.1.1
Connecting to the Application
Circuits
The user can tie the Adr0 and Adr1 pins to VSS, VDD,
or left floating. See more details in Section 5.3.2
“Device Address Bits (A2, A1, A0) and Address
Selection Pins (MCP3423 and MCP3424)”.

BYPASS CAPACITORS ON VDD PIN
For an accurate measurement, the application circuit
needs a clean supply voltage and must block any noise
signal to the MCP3422/3/4 devices. Figure 6-1 shows
an example of using two bypass capacitors (a 10 µF
tantalum capacitor and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor) on
the VDD line of the MCP3424. These capacitors are
helpful to filter out any high frequency noises on the
VDD line and also provide the momentary bursts of
extra currents when the device needs from the supply.
These capacitors should be placed as close to the VDD
pin as possible (within one inch). If the application
circuit has separate digital and analog power supplies,
the VDD and VSS of the MCP3422/3/4 devices should
reside on the analog plane.

6.1.3
CONNECTING TO I2C BUS USING
PULL-UP RESISTORS
The SCL and SDA pins of the MCP3422/3/4 are opendrain configurations. These pins require a pull-up
resistor as shown in Figure 6-1. The value of these
pull-up resistors depends on the operating speed
(standard, fast, and high speed) and loading
capacitance of the I2C bus line. Higher value of pull-up
resistor consumes less power, but increases the signal
transition time (higher RC time constant) on the bus.
Therefore, it can limit the bus operating speed. The
lower value of resistor, on the other hand, consumes
higher power, but allows higher operating speed. If the
bus line has higher capacitance due to long bus line or
high number of devices connected to the bus, a smaller
pull-up resistor is needed to compensate the long RC
time constant. The pull-up resistor is typically chosen
between 5 kΩ and 10 kΩ ranges for standard and fast
modes, and less than 1 kΩ for high speed mode
depending on the presence of bus loading capacitance.

FIGURE 6-1:
Typical Connection.
Figure 6-2 shows an example of multiple device
connections. The I2C bus loading capacitance
increases as the number of device connected to the I2C
bus line increases. The bus loading capacitance affects
on the bus operating speed. For example, the highest
bus operating speed for the 400 pF bus capacitance is
1.7 MHz, and 3.4 MHz for 100 pF. Therefore, the user
needs to consider the relationship between the
maximum operation speed versus. the number of I2C
devices that are connected to the I2C bus line.

DEVICE CONNECTION TEST
6.1.5
The user can test the presence of the MCP3422/3/4 on
the I2C bus line without performing an input data
conversion. This test can be achieved by checking an
acknowledge response from the MCP3422/3/4 after
sending a read or write command. Here is an example
using Figure 6-3:
a.
b.
Set the R/W bit “HIGH” in the address byte.
Check the ACK pulse after sending the address
byte.
If the device acknowledges (ACK = 0), then the
device is connected, otherwise it is not
connected.
c.
DIFFERENTIAL AND SINGLEENDED CONFIGURATION
Figure 6-4 shows typical connection examples for
differential and single-ended inputs. Differential input
signals can be connected to the CHn+ and CHn- input
pins, where n = the channel number (1, 2, 3, or 4). For
the single-ended input, the input signal is applied to one
of the input pins (typically connected to the CHn+ pin)
while the other input pin (typically CHn- pin) is
grounded. All device characteristics hold for the singleended configuration, but this configuration loses one bit
resolution because the input can only stand in positive
half scale. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
Send STOP or START bit.

Application Examples
For the current measurement, the device measure the
voltage across the current sensor, and converts it by
dividing the measured voltage by a known resistance
value. The voltage drops across the sensor is waste.
Therefore, the current measurement often prefers to
use a current sensor with smaller resistance value,
which, in turn, requires high resolution ADC device.
The MCP3422/3/4 devices can be used for broad
ranges of sensor and data acquisition applications.
Figure 6-5 shows a circuit example measuring both the
battery voltage and current using the MCP3422 device.
Channels 1 and 2 are measuring the voltage and the
current, respectively.
The device can measure the input voltage as low as
2 µV range (or current in ~ µA range) with 18 bit
resolution and PGA = 8 settings.
When the input voltage is greater than the internal reference voltage (VREF = 2.048V), it needs a voltage
divider circuit to prevent the output code from being
saturated. In the example, R1 and R2 form a voltage
divider. The R1 and R2 are set to yield VIN to be less
than the internal reference voltage (VREF = 2.048V).
The MSB (= sign bit) of the output code determines the
direction of the current, which identifies the charging or
the discharging current.

Four-Channel Thermocouple Applications.
With Type K thermocouple, it can measure
temperature from 0°C to 1250°C degrees. The full
scale output range of the Type K thermocouple is
about 50 mV. This provides 40 µV/°C (= 50 mV/
1250°C) of measurement resolution. Equation 6-1
shows the measurement budget for sensor signal using
the MCP3422/3/4 device with 18 bits and
PGA = 8 settings. With this configuration, the
MCP3424 can detect the input signal level as low as
approximately 2 µV. The internal PGA boosts the input
signal level eight times. The 40 µV/°C input from the
thermocouple is amplified internally to 320 µV/°C
before the conversion takes place. This results in
20.48 LSB/°C output codes. This means there are
about 20 LSB output codes (or about 4.32 bits) per 1°C
of change in temperature.

The thermistor temperature sensor can measure the

increases
(negative

forms a voltage divider with R1.
The thermistor sensor is simple to use and widely used
for the temperature measurement applications. It has
both linear and non-linear responses over temperature
range. R1 is used to adjust the linear region of interest
for measurement.

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.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS CONDITION,
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR

arising from this information and its use. Use of Microchip
devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at
the buyer’s risk, and the buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Microchip from any and all damages, claims,
suits, or expenses resulting from such use. No licenses are
