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
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.
