Device Addressing

The address byte is the first byte received following the

START condition from the master device. The first part

of the control byte consists of a 4-bit device code,

which is set to 1001 for the MCP3021. The device code

is followed by three address bits: A2, A1 and A0. The

default address bits are 101 (contact the Microchip fac-

tory for additional address bit options).The address bits

allow up to eight MCP3021 devices on the same bus

and are used to determine which device is accessed.

The eighth bit of the slave address determines if the

master device wants to read conversion data or write to

the MCP3021. When set to a ‘1’, a read operation is

selected. When set to a ‘0’, a write operation is

selected. There are no writable registers on the

MCP3021, therefore, this bit must be set to a ’1’ to

initiate a conversion.

The MCP3021 is a slave device that is compatible with

the 2-wire I2C serial interface protocol. A hardware

connection diagram is shown in Figure 6-2. Communi-

cation is initiated by the microcontroller (master

device), which sends a START bit followed by the

address byte.

On completion of the conversion(s) performed by the

MCP3021, the microcontroller must send a STOP bit to

stop the communication.

The last bit in the device address byte is the R/W bit.

When this bit is a logic ‘1’, a conversion will be exe-

cuted. Setting this bit to logic ‘0’ will also result in an

“acknowledge” (ACK) from the MCP3021, with the

device then releasing the bus. This can be used for

device polling (refer to Section 6.3, “Device Polling”).

Executing a Conversion

This section will describe the details of communicating

with the MCP3021 device. Initiating the sample and

hold acquisition, reading the conversion data and

executing multiple conversions will be discussed.

5.3.1

INITIATING THE SAMPLE AND

HOLD

The acquisition and conversion of the input signal

begins with the falling edge of the R/W bit of the

address byte. At this point, the internal clock initiates

the sample, hold and conversion cycle, all of which are

internal to the ADC.
