Description
The MCP3901 is a dual channel analog front end (AFE)
containing two synchronous sampling delta-sigma
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC), two PGAs, phase
delay compensation block, internal voltage reference,
modulator output block, and high-speed 20 MHz SPI
compatible serial interface. The converters contain a
proprietary dithering algorithm for reduced idle tones
and improved THD.
The internal register map contains 24-bit wide ADC
data words, a modulator output byte as well as six
writable control registers to program gain,
over-sampling ratio, phase, resolution, dithering, shut-
down, reset and several communication features. The
communication is largely simplified with various
continuous read modes that can be accessed by the
DMA of a MCU and with separate data ready pin that
can directly be connected to an IRQ input of a MCU.
The MCP3901 is capable of interfacing to a large
variety of voltage and current sensors including shunts,
current transformers, Rogowski coils, and Hall effect
sensors.
