The MCP3901 AFE features high-accuracy, dual 16-/24-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters.



Microchip Technology (Chandler, AZ) has announced its next-generation Analog Front End (AFE) for metering applications.  The MCP3901 AFE features high-accuracy, dual 16-/24-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) with up to 91 dB Signal to Noise and Distortion (SINAD); internal Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs) and voltage reference; phase-delay compensation; and a modulator output block, enabling more precise measurements than competitive solutions. Additional features include:

  • 2 synchronous sampling 16/24-bit resolution Delta-Sigma A/D Converters with proprietary multi-bit architecture.
  • 91 dB SINAD, -104 dBc THD (up to 35th harmonic), 109 dB SFDR for each channel.
  • Programmable data rate up to 64 ksps.
  • Ultra low power shutdown mode with <2 μA.
  • -133 dB Crosstalk between the two channels.
  • Low Drift Internal Voltage Reference: 12 ppm/°C.
  • Differential Voltage Reference Input Pins.
  • High Gain PGA on each channel (up to 32 V/V).
  • Phase Delay Compensation between the 2 channels with 1 μs time resolution.
  • Separate Modulator outputs for each channel.
  • High-Speed Addressable 20 MHz SPI Interface with Mode 0,0 and 1,1 compatibility.
  • Independent analog and digital power supplies 4.5-5.5V AVDD, 2.7-5.5V DVDD.
  • Low Power consumption (14 mW typical at 5V).
  • Available in small 20-lead QFN and SSOP packages.
  • Industrial Temperature Range -40° to +85°C.
