INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE MCP3423 EVALUATION BOARD
The following sections provide an overview of the MCP3423 Evaluation Board and
demonstrate how to use it with the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122).
The following topics are covered:
• Description of the MCP3423 Evaluation Board
• How to use MCP3423 Evaluation Board with the PICkit Serial Analyzer
The MCP3423 Evaluation Board (P/N MCP3423EV) contains a MCP3423 18-Bit ΔΣ
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The MCP3423 is a 2-channel 18 bit delta-sigma
ADC device with various configuration options. The board has analog input connection
pads and various test pads.
The user can connect inputs and test the conversion results using the PICkit Serial
Analyzer and its PC graphic user interface (GUI). The MCP3423 Evaluation Board has
the following interfaces:
• PICkit Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122) for writing configuration register bits and
The board has test points for SDL, SDA, and analog inputs. By connecting an
oscilloscope to these test points, the user can examine the data communications
through the I
Appendix A. “Schematic and Layouts”.
