The MAX8688 reads A3:A2:A1 address pins upon device
reset and determines its address according to Table 3.
For example, to configure the MAX8688 to have a slave
address of 010 0101 (25h), set A3:A2:A1 = H:L:Z. The
MAX8688 also responds to the broadcast address
(00h). While it is possible to configure the address pins
such that the resulting address is 00h, the MAX8688
with such address is then only responsive to the broad-
cast address. This may cause undesired results if other
PMBus devices are also present on the same bus.
Therefore, the hardwire address pins option give 3
= 26 address options.
If an EEPROM with valid SIGNATURE bytes is attached
to the MAX8688, the MAX8688 also tries to restore its
slave address from the EEPROM. This overrides the
address set by the address pins. This gives a total of
127 useful slave addresses (address 00h is normally
for broadcast address). If the address bit 7 from the
EEPROM is set to 1, this is an invalid address and the

MAX8688 continues using the address set by the
address pins. When an EEPROM is attached to
A2/SDAE and A1/SCLE, these pins assume either a
logic-high or logic-low level, therefore, the resulting
number of possible addresses set by the A3:A2:A1
pins in this scenario is 2
In addition, for the MAX8688 with an EEPROM
attached, the system controller can change the
MAX8688 slave address by sending the new address
with the MFR_SET_ADDRESS command. However, the
new address is not immediately effective. The new
address must be stored to the EEPROM first. Then, a
device reset has to be applied to the MAX8688 which
undergoes the address assignment procedure and
recalls the new address from the EEPROM.
