Arduino library for I2C ADG728 matrix switch. 1x8 Multiplexer.
Experimental
Library for the ADG728 1 to 8 channel multiplexer.
The library allows you to enable 0 to 8 channels uniquely or simultaneously. In fact the ADG728 is therefore a switch, although often named a multiplexer.
The library caches the channels enabled, and if a channel is enabled, it will not be enabled again (low level) to optimize performance. This can however be overruled by setForced(true).
The device works with 2.3 V to 5.5 V so it should work with most MCU's.
Warning
The library is not tested with hardware yet.
I2C address of the ADG728 is 0x4C .. 0x4F.
The ADG728 can work up to 400 KHz according to the datasheet.
Sometimes you need to control more devices than possible with the default address range the device provides. This is possible with an I2C multiplexer e.g. TCA9548 which creates up to eight channels (think of it as I2C subnets) which can use the complete address range of the device.
Drawback of using a multiplexer is that it takes more administration in your code e.g. which device is on which channel. This will slow down the access, which must be taken into account when deciding which devices are on which channel. Also note that switching between channels will slow down other devices too if they are behind the multiplexer.

#include "ADG728.h"- ADG728(const uint8_t deviceAddress, TwoWire *wire = &Wire) Constructor. deviceAddress = 0x4C .. 0x4F, wire = Wire or WireN.
- bool begin(uint8_t mask = 0x00) set mask of channels to be enabled, default all disabled.
- bool isConnected() returns true if address of the multiplexer is found on I2C bus.
- uint8_t getAddress() returns address, convenience function.
All channel functions return true on success.
- bool enableChannel(uint8_t channel) enables channel 0 .. 7 non-exclusive.
Multiple channels can be enabled in parallel. - bool disableChannel(uint8_t channel) disables channel 0 .. 7. Will not disable other channels.
- bool selectChannel(uint8_t channel) enables a single channel 0 .. 7 exclusive.
All other channels will be disabled in the same call, so not before or after. - bool isEnabled(uint8_t channel) returns true if the channel is enabled.
- bool disableAllChannels() fast way to disable all channels.
Multiple channels can also be enabled in one call with a mask.
- bool setChannelMask(uint8_t mask) enables 0 or more channels simultaneously with a bit mask.
- uint8_t getChannelMask() reads back the bit mask of the channels enabled.
Optional the library can reset the device.
- void setResetPin(uint8_t resetPin) sets the pin to reset the chip.
- void reset() trigger the reset pin.
- int getError() returns the last (I2C) status / error.
When forced IO is set, all writes and read, e.g. uint8_t getChannelMask(),
will go to the device.
If the forced-IO flag is set to false, it will cache the value of the channels enabled.
This will result in far more responsive and faster calls.
Note that writes are only optimized if the channels are already set.
Forced IO is also used to speed up getChannelMask().
- void setForced(bool forced = false) set forced write, slower but more robust.
- forced == false == fast mode (default).
- forced == true == slower, robust mode.
- bool getForced() returns set flag.
Not implemented yet, preparation for future.
