MCP3426A1-E

Microchip Tech · Analog To Digital Converters (ADCs) · SOIC-8

MCP3426A1-E from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CH1+ input Positive differential analog input of channel 1, with a usable range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V.
2 CH1- input Negative differential analog input of channel 1, which can be tied to VSS for single-ended operation, with a range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V.
3 VDD power_in Positive supply pin, specified for 2.7V to 5.5V, with a bypass of about 0.1 µF ceramic to ground plus a recommended 10 µF tantalum in parallel.
4 SDA bidirectional Bidirectional open-drain serial data pin of the I2C interface that needs a pull-up resistor to VDD (5 kΩ to 10 kΩ for standard and fast modes, under 1 kΩ for high-speed mode).
5 SCL input Serial clock pin of the I2C interface (slave only, open-drain N-channel) that needs a pull-up resistor to VDD.
6 VSS power_in Ground pin and current return path, to be connected to a ground plane (preferably analog ground) through a low-impedance connection.
7 CH2+ input Positive differential analog input of channel 2, with a usable range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V.
8 CH2- input Negative differential analog input of channel 2, which can be tied to VSS for single-ended operation, with a range of VSS-0.3V to VDD+0.3V.
