Energy measurement analog front ends

19 November 2014 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI News

Microchip announced the completion of its high-accuracy, single- and poly-phase MCP391X energy measurement analog front end (AFE) family. The new MCP3919 and MCP3912 members integrate three and four channels of 24-bit, delta-sigma analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), respectively, with accuracy of 93,5 dB SINAD, -107 dB THD and 112 dB SFDR for precise signal acquisition.

The chips’ specifications are optimised for single-phase energy meters with neutral monitoring (3-channel); or single-phase, three-wire energy meters (4-channel). Their high level of integration also includes a low-drift voltage reference, programmable gain amplifiers, phase-delay compensation and cyclic redundancy check (CRC).

Microchip also released evaluation boards to aid in the development of energy systems using these latest AFEs.
