Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 DIN/SDA
Serial Data Input. Data is latched into the serial interface on the rising edge of SCLK in SPI mode.
Connect a pullup resistor to SDA in I
2
C mode.
2
DOUT/A1
Serial Data Output in SPI Mode/Address Select 1 in I
2
C Mode. Data transitions on the falling edge of
SCLK. DOUT is high impedance when CS is high. Connect A1 to DV
DD
or DGND to set the device
address to I
2
C mode.
3 ADCIN1 Analog Input 1
4 ADCIN2 Analog Input 2
5 DXN1
Remote-Diode Current Sink. Connect the emitter of a base-emitter junction remote npn transistor to
DXN1.
6 DXP1
Remote-Diode Current Source. Connect DXP1 to the base/collector of a remote temperature-sensing
npn transistor. Do not leave DXP1 open; connect to DXN1 if no remote diode is used.
7 DXN2
Remote-Diode Current Sink. Connect the emitter of a base-emitter junction remote npn transistor to
DXN2.
8 DXP2
Remote-Diode Current Source. Connect DXP2 to the base/collector of a remote temperature-sensing
npn transistor. Do not leave DXP2 open; connect to DXN2 if no remote diode is used.
9 REFDAC
DAC Reference Input/Output. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor to AGND in external reference mode. See
the HCFG (Read/Write) section.
10 REFADC
ADC Reference Input/Output. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor to AGND in external reference mode. See
the HCFG (Read/Write) section.
