PCF7936AS IC Integrated Circuit
Tutorial: How to Use PCF7936AS
The PCF7936AS is a 4-channel integrated circuit multiplexer/demultiplexer. It is useful for managing multiple signal sources on a few pins.
What you need
- PCF7936AS
- Arduino
- Resistors (10kΩ)
- 16-pin Connector
Steps
- 1. Installation: Connect the PCF7936AS to your Arduino using a 16-pin connector.
- 2. Connect pins S0 and S1 of the PCF7936AS to two digital pins of your Arduino.
- 3. Connect pins IN0-IN3 to four digital pins of your Arduino.
- 4. Connect a 10kΩ resistor between the VCC and GND pins of the PCF7936AS.
- 5. Verify the correct pin configuration in the datasheet.
- 6. Write an Arduino code to select different channels and read signals.
- 7. Test the functionality with a simple sketch.
- 8. Test the various channels to ensure they work correctly.
Example code
```void setup() { pinMode(2, OUTPUT); pinMode(3, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(2, LOW); digitalWrite(3, LOW);}void loop() { digitalWrite(2, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(2, LOW); digitalWrite(3, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(3, LOW);}```
Mini project
