The MCP3423 and MCP3424 have two external
device address pins (Adr1, Adr0). These pins can be
set to a logic high (or tied to V

shows the device address depending on the logic
status of the address selection pins.
The device samples the logic status of the Adr0 and
Adr1 pins in the following events:
a.
b.
c.
The device samples the logic status (address pins)
during the above events, and latches the values until a
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.

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.
When the address pin is left “floating”:
When the address pin is left “floating”, the address pin
momentarily outputs a short pulse with an amplitude of
about V
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).

“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.
