Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:

• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.

• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.

• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.

• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products.

Chapter 1. Quick Start Instructions

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The following sections provide an overview of the MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board and demonstrate how to use it with the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122).

The following topics are covered:

• Description of the MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board

• Using MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board with the PICkit Serial Analyzer to evaluate the MCP3425 device.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MCP3425 SOT23-6 EVALUATION BOARD

The MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board (P/N MCP3425EV) contains a MCP3425 16-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The MCP3425 is an 16-bit single channel ADC device with various options. The MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board has analog input connection p ads and V can connect any sensor input signal to this evaluation board and test the ADC conversion results. The PICkit Serial Analyzer’s PC graphic user interface (GUI) provides the user’s interface for configuration register bits of the MCP3425 and displays the ADC conversion values. The PICkit Serial Analyzer links between the GUI and the MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board and provides the I the MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board. The user also can use this MCP3425 SOT23-6 Evaluation Board without the PICkit Serial Analyzer by providing the I communication signal to the SDA and SCL test pads on the board.

This evaluation board has the following interfaces:

• PICkit Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122) for writing configuration register bits and reading the conversion data.

8. Execute the PICkit Serial Analyzer Script file and obtain the ADC conversion results. The conversion results app ear on the PICkit Serial Analyzer PC GUI. You can also observe the conversion results using the oscilloscope.

CAUTION

The analog input pin has ESD diodes. Certain input conditions can damage the device. Please pay attention to the following conditions:

(a) Do not apply input greater than the input rang e sp ec ifie d by th e MCP3425 data sheet.

(b) Apply input signal after the V
