6.1.4 DEVICE CONNECTION TEST

The user can test the presence of the MCP3422/3/4 on

the I

C 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. Set the R/W

bit “HIGH” in the address byte.

b. 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. Send STOP or START bit.

6.1.5 DIFFERENTIAL AND SINGLE-

ENDED 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 single-

ended configuration, but this configuration loses one bit

resolution because the input can only stand in positive

half scale.

istics”
