Pinouts
The default I2C address is 0x40.
Power Pins
-
VIN - this is the power pin. Since the ADC chip uses 2.5-5 VDC to power the board, give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 5V micro like Arduino, use 5V.
- Ref+ - this is the positive reference input pin. By default it is not connected and the ADC will use the internal 2.048V reference voltage.
- GND - common ground for power and logic.
- Ref- - this is the negative reference input pin.
I2C Logic Pins
- SCL - I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. This pin can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- SDA - I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C data line. This pin can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- STEMMA QT - These connectors allow you to connectors to dev boards with STEMMA QT connectors or to other things with various associated accessories
Text emphasized with a yellow info:
Note that to get 2kSPS you'll need to run the I2C bus at 1 MHz and process that data from I2C quickly!
ADC Inputs
- A0-A3 - The 4 inputs to the ADC. These inputs can get up to 2k samples per second (you'll need 1MHz I2C speed support for max speed rate), and 24-bits of resolution.
Address Jumpers
On the back of the board are two address jumpers, labeled A0 and A1. These jumpers allow you to chain up to 4 of these boards on the same pair of I2C clock and data pins. To do so, you solder the jumpers "closed" by connecting the two pads:
Other Pins
- DRDY - This is the data ready pin. It is an output pin that is active low.
- !RST - This is the reset pin. To reset the board, pull this pin low.
Power LED and Jumper
- Power LED - In the upper left corner, above the STEMMA connector, on the front of the board, is the power LED, labeled on. It is the green LED.
- LED jumper - In the upper right corner on the back of the board is a jumper for the power LED. If you wish to disable the power LED, cut the trace on this jumper.
