Microchip公司的MCP3911用于16/24位MCU双路模拟前端(AFE),包含两个同时取样的Delta-Sigma ADC,两个PGA,相位延迟补偿区块,低漂移基准电压,调制输出区块,数字失调和增益误差校正寄存器以及高速20MHz SPI兼容串口.每路有 94.5 dB SINAD, -106.5 dBc THD, 111 dB SFDR,2.7-3.6V工作电压,可编数据速率高达125 ksps,主要用在能量和功率测量,汽车,手持仪表,医疗和电源监视以及音/视频识别.本文介绍了MCP3911主要特性,方框图以及用于16位MCU的MCP3911 ADC评估板主要特性, 和PIM MCU连接框图,电路图,材料清单和PCB元件布局图.

The MCP3911 is a 2.7V to 3.6V dual channel Analog Front End (AFE) containing two synchronous sampling Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC), two PGAs, phase delay compensation block, low-drift internal voltage reference, modulator output block, digital offset and gain errors calibration registers, and high-speed 20 MHz SPI compatible serial interface.

The MCP3911 ADCs are fully configurable with features such as: 16/24-bit resolution, OSR from 32 to 4096, gain from 1x to 32x, independent shutdown and reset, dithering and auto-zeroing. The communication is largely simplified with the one-byte-long commands including various continuous read/write modes that can be accessed by the Direct Memory Access (DMA) of an MCU, and with a separate data ready pin that can be directly connected to an Interrupt Request (IRQ) input of an MCU.

The MCP3911 is capable of interfacing a large variety of voltage and current sensors including shunts, current transformers, Rogowski coils and Hall effect sensors.

MCP3911 ADC Evaluation Board for 16-Bit MCUs

The MCP3911 ADC Evaluation Board for 16-Bit MCUs system provides the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the MCP3911 dual-channel ADC. It also provides a development platform for 16-bit PIC®-based applications, using existing 100-pin PIC microcontroller Plug-in Module (PIM) systems that are compatible with the Explorer 16 and other high pin count PIC®-based demo boards. The system comes with a programmed PIC24FJ256GA110 PIM module that communicates with the Energy Management Utility software for data exchange and ADC setup.

MCP3911 ADC评估板亮点:

• Dual ADC MCP3911 output display using serial communication to the PC software interface

• Simultaneous 55 ksps at OSR32 address loop ALL or 95 dB SINAD at OSR512 performance on MCP3911

• System and ADC performance analysis through graphical PC tools showing noise histogram, frequency domain (FFT), time domain scope plot, and statistical numerical analysis

• Robust hardware design with analog grounding and analog/digital separation, allowing low noise evaluation of MCP3911 devices; includes separate power supplies and power planes on a 4-layer board.

• PICtail™ Plus connectors for Explorer 16 daughter board compatibility
