Microchips First Six-Channel Analog Front End for Three-Phase Energy Metering Offers Industry-Leading Accuracy Microchip.

The MCP3903 is a six-channel Analog Front End (AFE) containing three pairs made out of two synchronous sampling Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with PGA, a phase delay compensation block, internal voltage reference, and high-speed 10 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 register as well as six 24-bit 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 Direct Memory Access (DMA) of an MCU and with separate Data Ready pins that can directly be connected to the Interrupt Request (IRQ) input of an MCU. The MCP3903 is capable of interfacing to a large variety of voltage and current sensors including shunts, current transformers, Rogowski coils, and Hall-effect Sensors.

用于16位MCU的MCP3903 ADC评估板

The MCP3903 ADC Evaluation Board for 16-Bit MCUs system lets users evaluate the performance of the MCP3903 six-channel ADC. It also provides a development platform for 16-bit PIC® MCU-based applications, using existing 100-pin PIM systems, compatible with the Explorer-16 and other high pincount PIC demo boards. The system comes with programmed PIC24FJ128GA010 PIM modules that communicate with the LabView GUI for data exchange and ADC setup.

MCP3903 ADC评估板亮点:

• Six-channel ADC MCP3903 output display using serial communication to the PC Software Interface and LCD

• Simultaneous 4 ksps at 91 dB Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD) performance. The ADC can run up to 64 ksps.

• System and ADC performance analysis through graphical PC tools showing Time domain scope plot, Frequency Domain (FFT), and statistical numerical analysis.

• Robust hardware design with analog grounding and analog/digital separation, allowing low noise evaluation of the MCP3903 devices. Separate power supplies and power planes - 4 layer board.

• Pigtail Plus connectors for Explorer-16 daughter board compatibility.
