Pin Configuration
MCP9808 Pinout – DFN-8 (2x3)
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SDA | I/O | Serial Data Line (I²C) |
| 2 | SCL | I/O | Serial Clock Line (I²C) |
| 3 | Alert | O | Temperature Alert Output |
| 4 | GND | P | Ground |
| 5 | A2 | I | Slave Address Configuration |
| 6 | A1 | I | Slave Address Configuration |
| 7 | A0 | I | Slave Address Configuration |
| 8 | VDD | P | Power Supply |
| EP | EP | P | Exposed Thermal Pad (must connect to GND) |
Notes
- DFN-8 package: 8 pins plus exposed thermal pad (EP).
- I²C Interface: SDA and SCL are open-drain outputs; external pull-up resistors required.
- Address Pins (A0–A2): Connect to VDD, GND, or leave floating to set slave address.
- Alert Pin: Open-drain output; requires external pull-up resistor.
- Exposed Pad: The EP (thermal pad on the bottom) must be connected to GND for proper thermal performance.
