Quick question about TCA9548A addressing

Using Arduino LEDs and Multiplexing
1

hi guys

I have a quick question about setting the address for the TCA9548A. I'm new to Arduino so I think it's probably easy to answer, but I couldn't find anything specific enough on the web.

I have two TCA9548A multiplexers and they both come with 0x70 (or 1110000) as their default address, and I've am trying to change one of them using the A0 - A2 pins.

I got it to work, but it doesn't seem to save the address... as soon as I remove the signal it switches back to the old address. So I'm wondering if there's a way to make it stick or if I have to constantly send a HIGH signal to it in order to change the address?

thanks!

Hi, @gabechan
Welcome to the forum.

Please read the post at the start of any forum , entitled "How to use this Forum".

Can you please post a copy of your circuit, in CAD or a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png?

Are you using the IC on its own or a module PCB with the 9548?

Are you permanemtly connecting A0 -A2 pins to gnd or Vcc?

Thanks.. Tom... :grinning: :+1: :coffee: :australia:

@gabechan You need to tie the address pins to either supply or ground permanently to configure the address. The levels are not remembered by the chip.
