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.
