3.3 Address Pins

To ensure successful communication on the I2C bus, each slave device must have a unique address to prevent address conflicts. Most of the devices in the switch portfolio have 1–3 address pins which offer 2–8 unique addresses for each device. Ensuring each slave has a unique address helps prevent address conflicts, which can result in unexpected behavior or corrupted data during communication.
