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, shutdown, 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.

This specification implies that the ADC output is valid over this entire differential range and that there is no distortion or instability across this input range. Dynamic Performance specified at -0.5 dB below the maximum signal range, VIN = -0.5 dBFS @ 50/60 Hz = 353 mVRMS, VREF = 2.4V. See terminology section for definition. This parameter is established by characterization and not 100% tested. For these operating currents, the following bit settings apply: SHUTDOWN<1:0>=00, RESET<1:0>=00, VREFEXT=0, CLKEXT=0. For these operating currents, the following configuration bit settings apply: SHUTDOWN<1:0>=11, VREFEXT=1, CLKEXT=1. Applies to all gains. Offset error is dependant on PGA gain setting, see Figure 2-19 for typical values. Outside of this range, the ADC accuracy is not specified. An extended input range of 6V can be applied continuously to the part with no risk for damage. For proper operation and to keep ADC accuracy, AMCLK should always be in the range of 1 to 5 MHz with BOOST bits off. With BOOST bits on, AMCLK should be in the range of 1 to 8.192 MHz. AMCLK = MCLK/PRESCALE. When using a crystal, CLKEXT bit should be equal to 0.

3.1
RESET
3.2
Digital VDD (DVDD)
This pin is active low and places the entire chip in a reset state when active. When RESET=0, all registers are reset to their default value, no communication can take place, no clock is distributed inside the part. This state is equivalent to a POR state. Since the default state of the ADCs is on, the analog power consumption when RESET=0 is equivalent to when RESET=1. Only the digital power consumption is largely reduced because this current consumption is essentially dynamic and is reduced drastically when there is no clock running. All the analog biases are enabled during a reset so that the part is fully operational just after a RESET rising edge. This input is Schmitt triggered.
DVDD is the power supply pin for the digital circuitry within the MCP3901. This pin requires appropriate bypass capacitors and should be maintained between 2.7V and 5.5V for specified operation.
3.3
Analog VDD (AVDD)
AVDD is the power supply pin for the analog circuitry within the MCP3901. This pin requires appropriate bypass capacitors and should be maintained to 5V 10% for specified operation.

MCP3901
3.4 ADC Differential Analog inputs (CHn+/CHn-) 3.7 Inverting Reference Input (REFIN-)
This pin is the inverting side of the differential voltage reference input for both ADCs. When using an external differential voltage reference, it should be connected to its VREF- pin. When using an external single-ended voltage reference, or when VREFEXT=0 (Default) and using the internal voltage reference, this pin should be directly connected to AGND.
CH0- and CH0+, and CH1- and CH1+, are the two fully-differential analog voltage inputs for the Delta-Sigma ADCs. The linear and specified region of the channels are dependent on the PGA gain. This region corresponds to a differential voltage range of 500 mV/GAIN with VREF=2.4V. The maximum absolute voltage, with respect to AGND, for each CHn+/- input pin is +/-1V with no distortion and +/-6V with no breaking after continuous voltage.
3.8
Digital Ground Connection (DGND)
3.5
Analog Ground (AGND)
AGND is the ground connection to internal analog circuitry (ADCs, PGA, voltage reference, POR). To ensure accuracy and noise cancellation, this pin must be connected to the same ground as DGND, preferably with a star connection. If an analog ground plane is available, it is recommended that this pin be tied to this plane of the PCB. This plane should also reference all other analog circuitry in the system.
DGND is the ground connection to internal digital circuitry (SINC filters, oscillator, serial interface). To ensure accuracy and noise cancellation, DGND must be connected to the same ground as AGND, preferably with a star connection. If a digital ground plane is available, it is recommended that this pin be tied to this plane of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This plane should also reference all other digital circuitry in the system.
3.9
3.6
Non-inverting Reference Input, Internal Reference Output (REFIN+/OUT)
Modulator Data Output Pin for Channel 1 and Channel 0 (MDAT1/ MDAT0)
This pin is the non-inverting side of the differential voltage reference input for both ADCs or the internal voltage reference output. When VREFEXT=1, and an external voltage reference source can be used, the internal voltage reference is disabled. When using an external differential voltage reference, it should be connected to its VREF+ pin. When using an external single-ended reference, it should be connected to this pin. When VREFEXT=0, the internal voltage reference is enabled and connected to this pin through a switch. This voltage reference has minimal drive capability and thus needs proper buffering and bypass capacitances (10 F tantalum in parallel with 0.1 F ceramic) if used as a voltage source. For optimal performance, bypass capacitances should be connected between this pin and AGND at all times even when the internal voltage reference is used. However, these capacitors are not mandatory to ensure proper operation.
MDAT0 and MDAT1 are the output pins for the modulator serial bitstreams of ADC channels 0 and 1, respectively. These pins are high impedance by default. When the MODOUT<1:0> are enabled, the modulator bitstream of the corresponding channel is present on the pin and updated at the AMCLK frequency. (See Section 5.4 "Modulator Output Block" for a complete description of the modulator outputs). These pins can be directly connected to a MCU or DSP when a specific digital filtering is needed.
3.10
DR (Data Ready Pin)
The data ready pin indicates if a new conversion result is ready to be read. The default state of this pin is high when DR_HIZN=1 and is high impedance when DR_HIZN=0 (Default). After each conversion is finished, a low pulse will take place on the data ready pin to indicate the conversion result is ready as an interrupt. This pulse is synchronous with the master clock and has a defined and constant width. The data ready pin is independent of the SPI interface and acts like an interrupt output.The data ready pin state is not latched and the pulse width (and period) are both determined by the MCLK frequency, over-sampling rate, and internal clock pre-scale settings. The DR pulse width is equal to one DMCLK period and the frequency of the pulses is equal to DRCLK (see Figure 1-3). Note: This pin should not be left floating when DR_HIZN bit is low; a 1 k pull-up resistor connected to DVDD is recommended.

3.11 Oscillator And Master Clock Input Pins (OSC1/CLKI, OSC2) 3.14 SDO (Serial Data Output)
This is the SPI data output pin. Data is clocked out of the device on the FALLING edge of SCK. This pin stays high impedance during the first command byte. It also stays high impedance during the whole communication for write commands and when CS pin is high or when RESET pin is low. This pin is active only when a read command is processed. Each read is processed by packet of 8 bits.
OSC1/CLKI and OSC2 provide the master clock for the device. When CLKEXT=0 (Default), a resonant crystal or clock source with a similar sinusoidal waveform must be placed across these pins to ensure proper operation. The typical clock frequency specified is 4 MHz. However, the clock frequency can be 1 MHz to 5 MHz without disturbing ADC accuracy. With the current boost circuit enabled, the master clock can be used up to 8.192 MHz without disturbing ADC accuracy. Appropriate load capacitance should be connected to these pins for proper operation. Note: When CLKEXT=1, the crystal oscillator is disabled, as well as the OSC2 input. The OSC1 becomes the master clock input CLKI, direct path for an external clock source, for example a clock source generated by a MCU.
3.15
SDI (Serial Data Input)
This is the SPI data input pin. Data is clocked into the device on the RISING edge of SCK. When CS is low, this pin is used to communicate with series of 8-bit commands. The interface is half-duplex (inputs and outputs do not happen at the same time). Each communication starts with a chip select falling edge followed by an 8-bit command word entered through the SDI pin. Each command is either a Read or a Write command. Toggling SDI during a Read command has no effect. This input is Schmitt triggered.
3.12
CS (Chip Select)
This pin is the SPI chip select that enables the serial communication. When this pin is high, no communication can take place. A chip select falling edge initiates the serial communication and a chip select rising edge terminates the communication. No communication can take place even when CS is low and when RESET is low. This input is Schmitt-triggered.
3.16
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
3.13
SCK (Serial Data Clock)
There is an internal electrical connection between the Exposed Thermal Pad (EP) and the AGND pin; they must be connected to the same potential on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
This is the serial clock pin for SPI communication. Data is clocked into the device on the RISING edge of SCK. Data is clocked out of the device on the FALLING edge of SCK. The MCP3901 interface is compatible with both SPI 0,0 and 1,1 modes. SPI modes can only be changed during a reset. The maximum clock speed specified is 20 MHz when DVDD>4.5V and 10 MHz otherwise. This input is Schmitt triggered.

4.0 TERMINOLOGY AND FORMULAS
4.2 AMCLK - Analog Master Clock
This is the clock frequency that is present on the analog portion of the device, after prescaling has occurred via the CONFIG1 PRESCALE<1:0> register bits. The analog portion includes the PGAs and the two sigma-delta modulators.
This section defines the terms and formulas used throughout this data sheet. The following terms are defined: MCLK - Master Clock AMCLK - Analog Master Clock DMCLK - Digital Master Clock DRCLK - Data Rate Clock OSR - Oversampling Ratio Offset Error Gain Error Integral Non-Linearity Error Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR) Signal-To-Noise Ratio And Distortion (SINAD) Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) MCP3901 Delta-Sigma Architecture Idle Tones Dithering Crosstalk PSRR CMRR ADC Reset Mode Hard Reset Mode (RESET = 0) ADC Shutdown Mode Full Shutdown Mode

4.3
DMCLK - Digital Master Clock
This is the clock frequency that is present on the digital portion of the device, after prescaling and division by 4. This is also the sampling frequency, that is the rate at which the modulator outputs are refreshed. Each period of this clock corresponds to one sample and one modulator output. See Figure 1-5.

MCLK - Master Clock 4.4
This is the fastest clock present in the device. This is the frequency of the crystal placed at the OSC1/OSC2 inputs when CLKEXT=0 or the frequency of the clock input at the OSC1/CLKI when CLKEXT=1. See Figure 1-5.
DRCLK - Data Rate Clock
This is the output data rate i.e. the rate at which the ADCs output new data. Each new data is signaled by a data ready pulse on the DR pin. This data rate is depending on the OSR and the prescaler with the following formula:

Since this is the output data rate, and since the decimation filter is a SINC (or notch) filter, there is a notch in the filter transfer function at each integer multiple of this rate.

This is the error induced by the ADC when the inputs are shorted together (VIN=0V). The specification incorporates both PGA and ADC offset contributions. This error varies with PGA and OSR settings. The offset is different on each channel and varies from chip to chip. This offset error can easily be calibrated out by a MCU with a subtraction. The offset is specified in mV. The offset on the MCP3901 has a low temperature coefficient, see Section 2.0 "Typical Performance Curves".
4.7
Gain Error
This is the error induced by the ADC on the slope of the transfer function. It is the deviation expressed in% compared to the ideal transfer function defined by Equation 5-3. The specification incorporates both PGA and ADC gain error contributions, but not the VREF contribution (it is measured with an external VREF).This error varies with PGA and OSR settings. The gain error on the MCP3901 has a low temperature coefficient, see the typical performance curves for more information, Figure 2-24 and Figure 2-25.

4.8 Integral Non-Linearity Error 4.11 Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Integral non-linearity error is the maximum deviation of an ADC transition point from the corresponding point of an ideal transfer function, with the offset and gain errors removed, or with the end points equal to zero. It is the maximum remaining error after calibration of offset and gain errors for a DC input signal. The total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the output harmonics power to the fundamental signal power for a sinewave input and is defined by the following equation.
EQUATION 4-7:
HarmonicsPower THD ( dB ) = 10 log ---------------------------------------------------- FundamentalPower The THD calculation includes the first 35 harmonics for the MCP3901 specifications. The THD is usually only measured with respect to the 10 first harmonics. THD is sometimes expressed in%. For converting the THD in %, here is the formula:
4.9
Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR)
For the MCP3901 ADC, the signal-to-noise ratio is a ratio of the output fundamental signal power to the noise power (not including the harmonics of the signal), when the input is a sinewave at a predetermined frequency. It is measured in dB. Usually, only the maximum signal to noise ratio is specified. The SNR figure depends mainly on the OSR and DITHER settings of the device.

4.10
Signal-To-Noise Ratio And Distortion (SINAD)
This specification depends mainly on the DITHER setting.
The most important figure of merit for the analog performance of the ADCs present on the MCP3901 is the Signal-to-Noise And Distortion (SINAD) specification. Signal-to-noise and distortion ratio is similar to signalto-noise ratio, with the exception that you must include the harmonics power in the noise power calculation. The SINAD specification depends mainly on the OSR and DITHER settings.
4.12
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
EQUATION 4-5:
SINAD EQUATION
The ratio between the output power of the fundamental and the highest spur in the frequency spectrum. The spur frequency is not necessarily a harmonic of the fundamental even though it is usually the case. This figure represents the dynamic range of the ADC when a full-scale signal is used at the input. This specification depends mainly on the DITHER setting.

4.13 MCP3901 Delta-Sigma Architecture
For power metering applications, idle tones can be very disturbing because energy can be detected even at the 50 or 60 Hz frequency, depending on the DC offset of the ADCs, while no power is really present at the inputs. The only practical way to suppress or attenuate idle tones phenomenon is to apply dithering to the ADC. The idle tones amplitudes are function of the order of the modulator, the OSR and the number of levels in the quantizer of the modulator. A higher order, a higher OSR or a higher number of levels for the quantizer will attenuate the idle tones amplitude.
The MCP3901 incorporates two Delta-Sigma ADCs with a multi-bit architecture. A Delta-Sigma ADC is an oversampling converter that incorporates a built-in modulator which is digitizing the quantity of charge integrated by the modulator loop (see Figure 5-1). The quantizer is the block that is performing the analog-to-digital conversion. The quantizer is typically 1-bit, or a simple comparator which helps to maintain the linearity performance of the ADC (the DAC structure is in this case inherently linear). Multi-bit quantizers help to lower the quantization error (the error fed back in the loop can be very large with 1-bit quantizers) without changing the order of the modulator or the OSR which leads to better SNR figures. However, typically, the linearity of such architectures is more difficult to achieve since the DAC is no more simple to realize and its linearity limits the THD of such ADCs. The MCP3901's 5-level quantizer is a flash ADC composed of 4 comparators arranged with equally spaced thresholds and a thermometer coding. The MCP3901 also includes proprietary 5-level DAC architecture that is inherently linear for improved THD figures.
4.15
Dithering
4.14
Idle Tones
A Delta-Sigma converter is an integrating converter. It also has a finite quantization step (LSB) which can be detected by its quantizer. A DC input voltage that is below the quantization step should only provide an all zeros result since the input is not large enough to be detected. As an integrating device, any Delta-Sigma will show in this case idle tones. This means that the output will have spurs in the frequency content that are depending on the ratio between quantization step voltage and the input voltage. These spurs are the result of the integrated sub-quantization step inputs that will eventually cross the quantization steps after a long enough integration. This will induce an AC frequency at the output of the ADC and can be shown in the ADC output spectrum. These idle tones are residues that are inherent to the quantization process and the fact that the converter is integrating at all times without being reset. They are residues of the finite resolution of the conversion process. They are very difficult to attenuate and they are heavily signal dependent. They can degrade both SFDR and THD of the converter, even for DC inputs. They can be localized in the baseband of the converter and thus difficult to filter from the actual input signal.
In order to suppress or attenuate the idle tones present in any Delta-Sigma ADCs, dithering can be applied to the ADC. Dithering is the process of adding an error to the ADC feedback loop in order to "decorrelate" the outputs and "break" the idle tones behavior. Usually a random or pseudo-random generator adds an analog or digital error to the feedback loop of the delta-sigma ADC in order to ensure that no tonal behavior can happen at its outputs. This error is filter by the feedback loop and typically has a zero average value so that the converter static transfer function is not disturbed by the dithering process. However, the dithering process slightly increases the noise floor (it adds noise to the part) while reducing its tonal behavior and thus improving SFDR and THD. (See Figure 2-10 and Figure 2-14). The dithering process scrambles the idle tones into baseband white noise and ensures that dynamic specs (SNR, SINAD, THD, SFDR) are less signal dependent. The MCP3901 incorporates a proprietary dithering algorithm on both ADCs in order to remove idle tones and improve THD, which is crucial for power metering applications.

4.16 Crosstalk
EQUATION 4-11:
V OUT PSRR ( dB ) = 20 log ------------------ AV DD
Where VOUT is the equivalent input voltage that the output code translates to with the ADC transfer function. In the MCP3901 specification, AVDD varies from 4.5V to 5.5V, and for AC PSRR a 50/60 Hz sinewave is chosen centered around 5V with a maximum 500 mV amplitude. The PSRR specification is measured with AVDD = DVDD. The crosstalk is defined as the perturbation caused by one ADC channel on the other ADC channel. It is a measurement of the isolation between the two ADCs present in the chip. This measurement is a two-step procedure: 1. 2. Measure one ADC input with no perturbation on the other ADC (ADC inputs shorted). Measure the same ADC input with a perturbation sine wave signal on the other ADC at a certain predefined frequency.
The crosstalk is then the ratio between the output power of the ADC when the perturbation is present and when it is not divided by the power of the perturbation signal. A higher crosstalk value implies more independence and isolation between the two channels. The measurement of this signal is performed under the following conditions: * * * * GAIN = 1, PRESCALE = 1, OSR = 256, MCLK = 4 MHz

CMRR
This is the ratio between a change in the common-mode input voltage and the ADC output codes. It measures the influence of the common-mode input voltage on the ADC outputs. The CMRR specification can be DC (the common-mode input voltage is taking multiple DC values) or AC (the common-mode input voltage is a sinewave at a certain frequency with a certain common mode). In AC, the amplitude of the sinewave is representing the change in the power supply. It is defined as:
Step 1
* CH0+=CH0-=AGND * CH1+=CH1-=AGND
EQUATION 4-12:
V OUT CMRR ( dB ) = 20 log ----------------- V CM
Where VCM= (CHn+ + CHn-)/2 is the common-mode input voltage and VOUT is the equivalent input voltage that the output code translates to with the ADC transfer function. In the MCP3901 specification, VCM varies from -1V to +1V, and for AC specification a 50/60 Hz sinewave is chosen centered around 0V with a 500 mV amplitude.
Step 2
* CH0+=CH0-=AGND * CH1+ - CH1-=1VP-P @ 50/60 Hz(Full-scale sine wave) The crosstalk is then calculated with the following formula:

ADC Reset Mode
4.17
PSRR
ADC Reset mode (called also soft reset mode) can only be entered through setting high the RESET<1:0> bits in the configuration register. This mode is defined as the condition where the converters are active but their output is forced to 0. The registers are not affected in this reset mode and retain their values. The ADCs can immediately output meaningful codes after leaving reset mode (and after the sinc filter settling time of 3/DRCLK). This mode is both entered and exited through setting of bits in the configuration register. Each converter can be placed in soft reset mode independently. The configuration registers are not modified by the soft reset mode.
This is the ratio between a change in the power supply voltage and the ADC output codes. It measures the influence of the power supply voltage on the ADC outputs. The PSRR specification can be DC (the power supply is taking multiple DC values) or AC (the power supply is a sinewave at a certain frequency with a certain common mode). In AC, the amplitude of the sinewave is representing the change in the power supply. It is defined as:

MCP3901
A data ready pulse will not be generated by any ADC while in reset mode. Reset mode also effects the modulator output block, i.e. the MDAT pin, corresponding to the channel in reset. If enabled, it provides a bitstream corresponding to a zero output (a series of 0011 bits continuously repeated). When an ADC exists ADC reset mode, any phase delay present before reset was entered will still be present. If one ADC was not in reset, the ADC leaving reset mode will resynchronize automatically the phase delay relative to the other ADC channel per the phase delay register block and give DR pulses accordingly. If an ADC is placed in Reset mode while the other is converting, it is not shutting down the internal clock. When going back out of reset, it will be resynchronized automatically with the clock that did not stop during reset. If both ADCs are in soft reset or shutdown modes, the clock is no longer distributed to the digital core for low power operation. Once any of the ADC is back to normal operation, the clock is automatically distributed again. Each converter can be placed in shutdown mode independently. The CONFIG registers are not modified by the shutdown mode. This mode is only available through programming of the SHUTDOWN<1:0> bits the CONFIG2 register. The output data is flushed to all zeros while in ADC shutdown. No data ready pulses are generated by any ADC while in ADC shutdown mode. ADC shutdown mode also effects the modulator output block, i.e. if MDAT of the channel in shutdown mode is enabled, this pin will provide a bitstream corresponding to a zero output (series of 0011 bits continuously repeated). When an ADC exits ADC shutdown mode, any phase delay present before shutdown was entered will still be present. If one ADC was not in shutdown, the ADC leaving shutdown mode will resynchronize automatically the phase delay relative to the other ADC channel per the phase delay register block and give DR pulses accordingly. If an ADC is placed in Shutdown mode while the other is converting, it is not shutting down the internal clock. When going back out of shutdown, it will be resynchronized automatically with the clock that did not stop during reset. If both ADCs are in ADC reset or ADC shutdown modes, the clock is no more distributed to the digital core for low power operation. Once any of the ADC is back to normal operation, the clock is automatically distributed again.
4.20
Hard Reset Mode (RESET = 0)
This mode is only available during a POR or when the RESET pin is pulled low. The RESET pin low state places the device in a hard reset mode. In this mode all internal registers are reset to their default state. The DC biases for the analog blocks are still active, i.e. the MCP3901 is ready to convert. However, this pin clears all conversion data in the ADCs. In this mode the MDAT outputs are in high impedance. The comparators outputs of both ADCs are forced to their reset state (0011). The SINC filters are all reset as well as their double output buffers. See serial timing for minimum pulse low time, in Section 1.0 "Electrical Characteristics". During a hard reset, no communication with the part is possible. The digital interface is maintained in a reset state.
4.22
Full Shutdown Mode
The lowest power consumption can be achieved when SHUTDOWN<1:0>=11, VREFEXT=CLKEXT=1. This mode is called "Full shutdown mode", and no analog circuitry is enabled. In this mode, the POR AVDD monitoring circuit is also disabled. When the clock is idle (CLKI = 0 or 1 continuously), no clock is propagated throughout the chip. Both ADCs are in shutdown, the internal voltage reference is disabled and the internal oscillator is disabled. The only circuit that remains active is the SPI interface but this circuit does not induce any static power consumption. If SCK is idle, the only current consumption comes from the leakage currents induced by the transistors and is less than 1 A on each power supply. This mode can be used to power down the chip completely and avoid power consumption when there is no data to convert at the analog inputs. Any SCK or MCLK edge coming while on this mode will induce dynamic power consumption. Once any of the SHUTDOWN, CLKEXT and VREFEXT bits returns to 0, the POR AVDD monitoring block is back to operation and AVDD monitoring can take place.
4.21
ADC Shutdown Mode
ADC shutdown mode is defined as a state where the converters and their biases are off, consuming only leakage current. After this is removed, start-up delay time (SINC filter settling time will occur before outputting meaningful codes. The start-up delay is needed to power-up all DC biases in the channel that was in shutdown. This delay is the same than tPOR and any DR pulse coming within this delay should be discarded.

Delta-Sigma Modulator
ARCHITECTURE
The MCP3901 analog inputs can be connected directly to current and voltage transducers (such as shunts, current transformers, or Rogowski coils). Each input pin is protected by specialized ESD structures that are certified to pass 7 kV HBM and 400V MM contact charge. These structures allow bipolar 6V continuous voltage with respect to AGND, to be present at their inputs without the risk of permanent damage. Both channels have fully differential voltage inputs for better noise performance. The absolute voltage at each pin relative to AGND should be maintained in the 1V range during operation in order to ensure the specified ADC accuracy. The common-mode signals should be adapted to respect both the previous conditions and the differential input voltage range. For best performance, the common-mode signals should be maintained to AGND.
Both ADCs are identical in the MCP3901 and they include a second-order modulator with a multi-bit DAC architecture (see Figure 5-1). The quantizer is a flash ADC composed of 4 comparators with equally spaced thresholds and a thermometer output coding. The proprietary 5-level architecture ensures minimum quantization noise at the outputs of the modulators without disturbing linearity or inducing additional distortion. The sampling frequency is DMCLK (typically 1 MHz with MCLK=4 MHz) so the modulator outputs are refreshed at a DMCLK rate. The modulator outputs are available in the MOD register or serially transferred on each MDAT pin. Both modulators also include a dithering algorithm that can be enabled through the DITHER<1:0> bits in the configuration register. This dithering process improves THD and SFDR (for high OSR settings) while increasing slightly the noise floor of the ADCs. For power metering applications and applications that are distortion-sensitive, it is recommended to keep DITHER enabled for both ADCs. In the case of power metering applications, THD and SFDR are critical specifications to optimize SNR (noise floor) is not really problematic due to large averaging factor at the output of the ADCs, therefore even for low OSR settings, the dithering algorithm will show a positive impact on the performance of the application. Figure 5-1 represents a simplified block diagram of the Delta-Sigma ADC present on MCP3901.
5.2
Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGA)
The two Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs) reside at the front-end of each Delta-Sigma ADC. They have two functions : translate the common-mode of the input from AGND to an internal level between AGND and AVDD , and amplify the input differential signal. The translation of the common mode does not change the differential signal but recenters the common-mode so that the input signal can be properly amplified. The PGA block can be used to amplify very low signals, but the differential input range of the delta-sigma modulator must not be exceeded. The PGA is controlled by the PGA_CHn<2:0> bits in the GAIN register. The following table represents the gain settings for the PGA:

For a specified voltage reference value of 2.4V, the modulators specified differential input range is 500 mV. The input range is proportional to VREF and scales according to the VREF voltage. This range is guaranteeing the stability of the modulator over amplitude and frequency. Outside of this range, the modulator is still functional, however its stability is no longer guaranteed and therefore it is not recommended to exceed this limit. The saturation point for the modulator is VREF/3 since the transfer function of the ADC includes a gain of 3 by default (independent from the PGA setting. See Section 5.6 "ADC OUTPUT CODING").

BOOST MODE
The Delta-Sigma modulators also include an independent BOOST mode for each channel. If the corresponding BOOST<1:0> bit is enabled, the power consumption of the modulator is multiplied by 2 and its bandwidth is increased to be able to sustain AMCLK clock frequencies up to 8.192 MHz while keeping the ADC accuracy. When disabled, the power consumption is back to normal and the AMCLK clock frequencies can only reach up to 5 MHz without affecting ADC accuracy.

Modulator Output Block
If the user wishes to use the modulator output of the device the appropriate bits to enable the modulator output must be set in the configuration register. When MODOUT<1:0> is enabled, the modulator output of the corresponding channel is present at the corresponding MDAT output pin as soon as the command is placed. Since the sigma-delta modulators have a 5-level output given by the state of 4 comparators with thermometer coding, their outputs can be represented on 4 bits, each bit giving the state of the corresponding comparator (See Table 5-2). These bits are present on the MOD register and are updated at the DMCLK rate. In order to output the comparators result on a separate pin (MDAT0 and MDAT1), these comparator output bits have been arranged to be serially output at the AMCLK rate (See Figure 5-2). This 1-bit serial bitstream is the same that would be produced by a 1-bit DAC modulator with a sampling frequency of AMCLK. The modulator can either be considered like a 5 level-output at DMCLK rate or 1-bit output at AMCLK rate. These two representations are interchangeable. The MDAT outputs can therefore be used in any application that requires 1-bit modulator outputs. These applications will often integrate and filter the 1-bit output with SINC or more complex decimation filters computed by a MCU or a DSP.
MDAT-1
MDAT-2
FIGURE 5-2: MDAT Serial Outputs in Function of the Modulator Output Code.
Since the reset and shutdown SPI commands are asynchronous, the MDAT pins are resynchronized with DMCLK after each time the part goes out of reset and shutdown. This means that the first output of MDAT after RESET is always 0011 after the first DMCLK rising edge.

MCP3901
5.5 SINC3 Filter
Both ADCs present in the MCP3901 include a decimation filter that is a third-order sinc (or notch) filter. This filter processes the multi-bit bitstream into 16 or 24 bits words (depending on the WIDTH configuration bit). The settling time of the filter is 3 DMCLK periods. It is recommended to discard unsettled data to avoid data corruption which can be done easily by setting the DR_LTY bit high in the STATUS/COM register. The resolution achievable at the output of the sinc filter (the output of the ADC) is dependant on the OSR and is summarized with the following table: The Normal-Mode Rejection Ratio (NMRR) or gain of the transfer function is given by the following equation:
EQUATION 5-2:

For 24 -bit output mode (WIDTH=1), the output of the sinc filter is padded with least significant zeros for any resolution less than 24 bits. For 16-bit output modes, the output of the sinc filter is rounded to the closest 16-bit number in order to conserve only 16-bit words and to minimize truncation error. The gain of the transfer function of this filter is 1 at each multiple of DMCLK (typically 1 MHz) so a proper anti-aliasing filter must be placed at the inputs to attenuate the frequency content around DMCLK and keep the desired accuracy over the baseband of the converter. This anti-aliasing filter can be a simple first-order RC network with a sufficiently low time constant to generate high rejection at DMCLK frequency.

5.6 ADC OUTPUT CODING
The second order modulator, SINC3 filter, PGA, VREF and analog input structure all work together to produce the device transfer function for the analog to digital conversion, Equation 5-3. The channel data is either a 16-bit or 24-bit word, presented in 23-bit or 15-bit plus sign, two's complement format and is MSB (left) justified. The ADC data is two or three bytes wide depending on the WIDTH bit of the associated channel. The 16-bit mode includes a round to the closest 16-bit word (instead of truncation) in order to improve the accuracy of the ADC data. In case of positive saturation (CHn+ - CHn- > VREF/3), the output is locked to 7FFFFF for 24 bit mode (7FFF for 16 bit mode). In case of negative saturation (CHn+ - CHn- <-VREF/3), the output code is locked to 800000 for 24-bit mode (8000 for 16 bit mode). Equation 5-3 is only true for DC inputs. For AC inputs, this transfer function needs to be multiplied by the transfer function of the SINC3 filter (see Equation 5-1 and Equation 5-2).

5.6.1 ADC RESOLUTION AS A FUNCTION OF OSR
(For 24-bit Mode Or WIDTH = 1)
(For 16-bit Mode Or WIDTH = 0)
The ADC resolution is a function of the OSR (Section 5.5 "SINC3 Filter"). The resolution is the same for both channels. No matter what the resolution is, the ADC output data is always presented in 24-bit words, with added zeros at the end if the OSR is not large enough to produce 24-bit resolution (left justification).

Voltage Reference
INTERNAL VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The MCP3901 contains an internal voltage reference source specially designed to minimize drift over temperature. In order to enable the internal voltage reference, the VREFEXT bit in the configuration register must be set to 0 (default mode). This internal VREF supplies reference voltage to both channels. The typical value of this voltage reference is 2.37V 2%. The internal reference has a very low typical temperature coefficient of 12 ppm/C, allowing the output codes to have minimal variation with respect to temperature since they are proportional to (1/VREF). The noise of the internal voltage reference is low enough not to significantly degrade the SNR of the ADC if compared to a precision external low-noise voltage reference. The output pin for the internal voltage reference is REFIN+/OUT. When the internal voltage reference is enabled, REFIN- pin should always be connected to AGND. For optimal ADC accuracy, appropriate bypass capacitors should be placed between REFIN+/OUT and AGND. De-coupling at the sampling frequency, around 1 MHz, is important for any noise around this frequency will be aliased back into the conversion data. 0.1 F ceramic and 10 F tantalum capacitors are recommended.
These bypass capacitors are not mandatory for correct ADC operation, but removing these capacitors may degrade accuracy of the ADC. The bypass capacitors also help for applications where the voltage reference output is connected to other circuits. In this case, additional buffering may be needed as the output drive capability of this output is low.
5.7.2
DIFFERENTIAL EXTERNAL VOLTAGE INPUTS
When the VREFEXT bit is high, the two reference pins (REFIN+/OUT, REFIN-) become a differential voltage reference input. The voltage at the REFIN+/OUT is noted VREF+ and the voltage at the REFIN- pin is noted VREF-. The differential voltage input value is given by the following equation: VREF=VREF+ - VREFThe specified VREF range is from 2.2V to 2.6V. The REFIN- pin voltage (VREF-) should be limited to +/-0.3V. Typically, for single-ended reference applications, the REFIN- pin should be directly connected to AGND.

5.8 Power-on Reset 5.9
The MCP3901 contains an internal POR circuit that monitors analog supply voltage AVDD during operation. The typical threshold for a power-up event detection is 4.2V +/-5%. The POR circuit has a built-in hysteresis for improved transient spikes immunity that has a typical value of 200 mV. Proper decoupling capacitors (0.1 F ceramic and 10 F tantalum) should be mounted as close as possible to the AVDD pin, providing additional transient immunity. Figure 5-4 illustrates the different conditions at power-up and a power-down event in the typical conditions. All internal DC biases are not settled until at least 50 s after system POR. Any DR pulses during this time after system reset should be ignored. After POR, DR pulses are present at the pin with all the default conditions in the configuration registers. Both AVDD and DVDD power supplies are independent. Since AVDD is the only power supply that is monitored, it is highly recommended to power up DVDD first as a power-up sequence. If AVDD is powered up first, it is highly recommended to keep RESET pin low during the whole power-up sequence.
RESET Effect On Delta Sigma Modulator/SINC Filter
When the RESET pin is low, both ADCs will be in Reset and output code 0x0000h. The RESET pin performs a hard reset (DC biases still on, part ready to convert) and clears all charges contained in the sigma delta modulators. The comparators output is 0011 for each ADC. The SINC filters are all reset, as well as their double output buffers. This pin is independent of the serial interface. It brings the CONFIG registers to the default state. When RESET is low, any write with the SPI interface will be disabled and will have no effect. All output pins (SDO, DR, MDAT0/1) are high impedance, and no clock is propagated through the chip.

Phase Delay Block
The MCP3901 incorporates a phase delay generator which ensures that the two ADCs are converting the inputs with a fixed delay between them. The two ADCs are synchronously sampling but the averaging of modulator outputs is delayed so that the SINC filter outputs (thus the ADC outputs) show a fixed phase delay, as determined by the PHASE register setting. The phase register (PHASE<7:0>) is a 7 bit + sign, MSB first, two's complement register that indicates how much phase delay there is to be between Channel 0 and Channel 1. The reference channel for the delay is Channel 1 (typically the voltage channel for power metering applications). When PHASE<7:0> is positive, Channel 0 is lagging versus Channel 1. When PHASE<7:0> is negative, Channel 0 is leading versus Channel 1. The amount of delay between two ADC conversions is given by the following formula:

The data ready signals are affected by the phase delay settings. Typically, the time difference between the data ready pulses of channel 0 and channel 1 is equal to the phase delay setting. Note: A detailed explanation of the data ready pin (DR) with phase delay is present in Section 6.10 "Data Ready Latches And Data Ready Modes (DRMODE<1:0>)".

Crystal Oscillator
The Phase delay can only go from -OSR/2 to +OSR/2 - 1. This sets the fine phase resolution. The phase register is coded with 2's complement. If larger delays between the two channels are needed, they can be implemented externally to the chip with a MCU. A FIFO in the MCU can save incoming data from the leading channel for a number N of DRCLK clocks. In this case, DRCLK would represent the coarse timing resolution, and DMCLK the fine timing resolution. The total delay will then be equal to: Delay = N/DRCLK + PHASE/DMCLK The Phase delay register can be programmed once with the OSR=256 setting and will adjust to the OSR automatically afterwards without the need to change the value of the PHASE register. * OSR=256: the delay can go from -128 to +127. PHASE<7> is the sign bit. Phase<6> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB. * OSR=128: the delay can go from -64 to +63. PHASE<6> is the sign bit. Phase<5> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB. * OSR=64: the delay can go from -32 to +31. PHASE<5> is the sign bit. Phase<4> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB. * OSR=32: the delay can go from -16 to +15. PHASE<4> is the sign bit. Phase<3> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB.
The MCP3901 includes a Pierce type crystal oscillator with very high stability and ensures very low tempco and jitter for the clock generation. This oscillator can handle up to 16.384 MHz crystal frequencies provided that proper load capacitances and quartz quality factor are used. For keeping specified ADC accuracy, AMCLK should be kept between 1 and 5 MHz with BOOST off or 1 and 8.192 MHz with BOOST on. Larger MCLK frequencies can be used provided the prescaler clock settings allow the AMCLK to respect these ranges. For a proper start-up, the load capacitors of the crystal should be connected between OSC1 and DGND and between OSC2 and DGND. They should also respect the following equation:
EQUATION 5-5:
6 f -2 R M < 1.6 x 10 x ---------------- C LOAD
where f is the crystal frequency in MHz, CLOAD, the load capacitance in pF including parasitics from the PCB and RM the motional resistance in ohms of the quartz (it also defines the quality factor). When CLKEXT=1, the crystal oscillator is bypassed by a digital buffer to allow direct clock input for an external clock (see Figure 1-5).

R/W Read Write Bit
The MCP3901 device is compatible with SPI modes 0,0 and 1,1. Data is clocked out of the MCP3901 on the falling edge of SCK, and data is clocked into the MCP3901 on the rising edge of SCK. In these modes SCK can idle either high, or low. Each SPI communication starts with a CS falling edge and stops with the CS rising edge. Each SPI communication is independent. When CS is high, SDO is in high impedance, transitions on SCK and SDI have no effect. Additional controls: RESET, DR, MDAT0/1 are also provided on separate pins for advanced communication. The MCP3901 interface has a simple command structure. The first byte transmitted is always the CONTROL byte and is followed by data bytes that are 8-bit wide. Both ADCs are continuously converting data by default and can be reset or shutdown through a CONFIG2 register setting. Since each ADC data is either 16 or 24 bits (depending on the WIDTH bits), the internal registers can be grouped together with various configurations (through the READ bits) in order to allow easy data retrieval within only one communication. For device reads, the internal address counter can be automatically incremented in order to loop through groups of data within the register map. The SDO will then output the data located at the ADDRESS (A<4:0>) defined in the control byte and then ADDRESS+1 depending on the READ<1:0> bits which select the groups of registers. These groups are defined in the Section 7.1 "ADC Channel Data Output Registers" (Register Map). The data ready pin (DR) can be used as an interrupt for a MCU and outputs pulses when new ADC channel data is available. The RESET pin acts like a hard reset and can reset the part to its default power-up configuration. The MDAT0/1 pins give the modulator outputs (see Section 5.4 "Modulator Output Block").
Device Address Bits
Register Address Bits
FIGURE 6-1:
Control Byte.
The default device address bits are 00. Contact the Microchip factory for additional device address bits. For more information, please see the Section "Product Identification System". A read on undefined addresses will give an all zeros output on the first and all subsequent transmitted bytes. A write on undefined address will have no effect and will not increment the address counter either. The register map is defined in Section 7.1 "ADC Channel Data Output Registers".
6.3
Reading from the Device
The first data byte read is the one defined by the address given in the CONTROL byte. After this first byte is transmitted, if CS pin is maintained low, the communication continues and the address of the next transmitted byte is determined by the status of the READ bits in the STATUS/COM register. Multiple looping configurations can be defined through the READ<1:0> bits for the address increment (see Section 6.6 "SPI MODE 0,0 - Clock Idle Low, Read/ Write Examples").
6.4
Writing to the Device
6.2
Control Byte
The control byte of the MCP3901 contains two device address bits A<6:5>, 5 register address bits A<4:0>, and a read/write bit (R/W). The first byte transmitted to the MCP3901 is always the control byte. The MCP3901 interface is device addressable (through A<6:5>) so that multiple MCP3901 chips can be present on the same SPI bus with no data bus contention. This functionality enables three-phase power metering systems containing three MCP3901 chips controlled by a single SPI bus (single CS, SCK, SDI and SDO pins).
The first data byte written is the one defined by the address given in the control byte. The write communication automatically increments the address for subsequent bytes. The address of the next transmitted byte within the same communication (CS stays low) is the next address defined on the register map. At the end of the register map, the address loops to the beginning of the register map. Writing a non-writable register has no effect. SDO pin stays high impedance during a write communication.
6.5
SPI MODE 1,1 - Clock Idle High, Read/Write Examples
In this SPI mode, the clock idles high. For the MCP3901 this means that there will be a falling edge before there is a rising edge. Note: Changing from a SPI Mode 1,1 to a SPI Mode 0,0 is possible but needs a RESET pulse in between to ensure correct communication.

The STATUS/COM register contains the loop settings for the internal address counter (READ<1:0>). The internal address counter can either stay constant (READ<1:0>=00) and read continuously the same byte, or it can auto-increment and loop through the register groups defined below (READ<1:0>=01), register types (READ<1:0>=10) or the entire register map (READ<1:0>=11). Each channel is configured independently as either a 16-bit or 24-bit data word depending on the setting of the corresponding WIDTH bit in the CONFIG1 register. For continuous reading, in the case of WIDTH=0 (16-bit), the lower byte of the ADC data is not accessed and the part jumps automatically to the following address (the user does not have to clock out the lower byte since it becomes undefined for WIDTH=0). The following figure represents a typical continuous read communication with the default settings (DRMODE<1:0>=00, READ<1:0>=10) for both WIDTH settings. This configuration is typically used for power metering applications.
6.7
Continuous Communication, Looping On Address Sets
If the user wishes to read back either of the ADC channels continuously, or both channels continuously, the internal address counter of the MCP3901 can be set to loop on specific register sets. In this case, there is only one control byte on SDI to start the communication. The part stays within the same loop until CS returns high. This internal address counter allows the following functionality: * Read one ADC channel data continuously * Read both ADC channel data continuously (both ADC data can be independent or linked with DRMODE settings) * Read continuously the entire register map * Read continuously each separate register * Read continuously all configuration registers * Write all configuration registers in one communication (see Figure 6-6)

6.7.1 CONTINUOUS WRITE
The following register sets are defined as groups: Both ADCs are powered up with their default configurations, and begin to output DR pulses immediately (RESET<1:0> and SHUTDOWN<1:0> bits are off by default). The default output codes for both ADCs are all zeros. The default modulator output for both ADCs is 0011 (corresponding to a theoretical zero voltage at the inputs). The default phase is zero between the two channels. It is recommended to enter into ADC reset mode for both ADCs just after power-up because the desired MCP3901 register configuration may not be the default one and in this case, the ADC would output undesired data. Within the ADC reset mode (RESET<1:0>=11), the user can configure the whole part with a single communication. The write commands increment automatically the address so that the user can start writing the PHASE register and finish with the CONFIG2 register in only one communication (see Figure 6-6). The RESET<1:0> bits are in the CONFIG2 register to allow to exit the soft reset mode and have the whole part configured and ready to run in only one command.

Situations that Reset ADC Data
Immediately after the following actions, the ADCs are temporarily reset in order to provide proper operation: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Change in PHASE register. Change in the OSR setting. Change in the PRESCALE setting. Overwrite of same PHASE register value. Change in CLKEXT bit in the CONFIG2 register modifying internal oscillator state.
After these temporary resets, the ADCs go back to the normal operation with no need for an additional command. These are also the settings where the DR position is affected. The PHASE register can be used to serially soft reset the ADCs without using the RESET bits in the configuration register if the same value is written in the PHASE register.

6.9 Data Ready Pin (DR) 6.10
To signify when channel data is ready for transmission, the data ready signal is available on the data ready pin (DR) through an active low pulse at the end of a channel conversion. The data ready pin outputs an active low pulse with a period is equal to DRCLK clock period and with a width equal to one DMCLK period. When not active low, this pin can either be in high impedance (when DR_HIZN=0) or in a defined logic high state (when DR_HIZN=1). This is controlled through the configuration registers. This allows multiple devices to share the same data ready pin (with a pull-up resistor connected between DR and DVDD) in 3-phase energy meter designs to reduce microcontroller pin count. A single device on the bus does not require a pull-up resistor. After a data ready pulse has occurred, the ADC output data can be read through SPI communication. Two sets of latches at the output of the ADC prevent the communication from outputting corrupted data (see Section 6.10 "Data Ready Latches And Data Ready Modes (DRMODE<1:0>)"). The CS pin has no effect on the DR pin, which means even if CS is high, data ready pulses will be provided (except when the configuration prevents from outputting data ready pulses). The DR pin can be used as an interrupt when connected to a MCU or DSP. While RESET pin is low, the DR pin is not active.
Data Ready Latches And Data Ready Modes (DRMODE<1:0>)
To ensure that both channel ADC data are present at the same time for SPI read, regardless of phase delay settings for either or both channels, there are two sets of latches in series with both the data ready and the `read start' triggers. The first set of latches holds each output when data is ready and latches both outputs together when DRMODE<1:0>=00. When this mode is on, both ADCs work together and produce one set of available data after each data ready pulse (that corresponds to the lagging ADC data ready). The second set of latches ensures that when reading starts on an ADC output, the corresponding data is latched so that no data corruption can occur. If an ADC read has started, in order to read the following ADC output, the current reading needs to be completed (all bits must be read from the ADC output data registers).
6.10.1
DATA READY PIN (DR) CONTROL USING DRMODE BITS
There are four modes that control the data ready pulses, and these modes are set with the DRMODE<1:0> bits in the STATUS/COM register. For power metering applications, DRMODE<1:0>=00 is recommended (default mode). The position of DR pulses vary with respect to this mode, to the OSR and to the PHASE settings: * DRMODE<1:0> = 11: Both Data Ready pulses from ADC Channel 0 and ADC Channel 1 are output on DR pin. * DRMODE<1:0> = 10: Data Ready pulses from ADC Channel 1 are output on DR pin. DR from ADC Channel 0 are not present on the pin. * DRMODE<1:0> = 01: Data Ready pulses from ADC Channel 0 are output on DR pin. DR from ADC Channel 1 are not present on the pin. * DRMODE<1:0> = 00: (Recommended, and Default Mode). Data Ready pulses from the lagging ADC between the two are output on DR pin. The lagging ADC depends on the phase register and on the OSR. In this mode the two ADCs are linked together so their data is latched together when the lagging ADC output is ready.

MCP3901
6.10.2 DR PULSES WITH SHUTDOWN OR RESET CONDITIONS
There will be no DR pulses if DRMODE<1:0>=00 when either one or both of the ADCs are in reset or shutdown. In Mode 00, a DR pulse only happens when both ADCs are ready. Any DR pulse will correspond to one data on both ADCs. The two ADCs are linked together and act as if there was only on channel with the combined data of both ADCs. This mode is very practical when both ADC channel data retrieval and processing need to be synchronized, as in power metering applications. Note: If DRMODE<1:0>=11, the user will still be able to retrieve the DR pulse for the ADC not in shutdown or reset, i.e. only 1 ADC channel needs to be awake. Figure 6-8 represents the behavior of the data ready pin with the different DRMODE and DR_LTY configurations, while shutdown or resets are applied.

The ADC Channel data output registers always contain the most recent A/D conversion data for each channel. These registers are read-only. They can be accessed independently or linked together (with READ<1:0> bits). These registers are latched when an ADC read communication occurs. When a data ready event occurs during a read communication, the most current ADC data is also latched to avoid data corruption issues. The three bytes of each channel are updated

7.3 PHASE Register
7.3.1 PHASE RESOLUTION FROM OSR
The PHASE register (PHASE<7:0>) is a 7 bits + sign MSB first two's complement register that indicates how much phase delay there should be between Channel 0 and Channel 1. The reference channel for the delay is channel 1 (typically the voltage channel when used in energy metering applications), i.e. when PHASE register code is positive, Channel 0 is lagging channel 1. When PHASE register code is negative, Channel 0 is leading versus Channel 1. The delay is give by the following formula: The timing resolution of the phase delay is 1/DMCLK or 1 s in the default configuration (MCLK=4 MHz). The PHASE register coding depends on the OSR setting: * OSR=256: the delay can go from -128 to +127. PHASE<7> is the sign bit. Phase<6> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB. * OSR=128: the delay can go from -64 to +63. PHASE<6> is the sign bit. Phase<5> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB. * OSR=64: the delay can go from -32 to +31. PHASE<5> is the sign bit. Phase<4> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB. * OSR=32: the delay can go from -16 to +15. PHASE<4> is the sign bit. Phase<3> is the MSB and PHASE<0> the LSB.

7.5 Status and Communication Register
See Section 6.9 "Data Ready Pin (DR)" for more details about data ready pin behavior.
This register contains all settings related to the communication including data ready settings and status, and read mode settings.
7.5.4
DR STATUS FLAG DRSTATUS<1:0>
7.5.1
DATA READY (DR) LATENCY CONTROL - DR_LTY
This bit determines if the first data ready pulses correspond to settled data or unsettled data from each SINC3 filter. Unsettled data will provide DR pulses every DRCLK period. If this bit is set, unsettled data will wait for 3 DRCLK periods before giving DR pulses and will then give DR pulses every DRCLK period.
These bits indicate the DR status of both channels respectively. These flags are set to logic high after each read of the STATUS/COM register. These bits are cleared when a DR event has happened on its respective ADC channel. Writing these bits has no effect. Note: These bits are useful if multiple devices share the same DR output pin (DR_HIZN=0) in order to understand from which device the DR event has happened. This configuration can be used for three-phase power metering systems where all three phases share the same data ready pin. In case the DRMODE=00 (Linked ADCs), these data ready status bits will be updated synchronously upon the same event (lagging ADC is ready). These bits are also useful in systems where the DR pin is not used to save MCU I/O.
7.5.2
DATA READY (DR) PIN HIGH Z DR_HIZN
This bit defines the non-active state of the data ready pin (logic 1 or high impedance). Using this bit, the user can connect multiple chips with the same DR pin with a pull up resistor (DR_HIZN=0) or a single chip with no external component (DR_HIZN=1).
7.5.3
DATA READY MODE DRMODE<1:0>
If one of the channels is in reset or shutdown, only one of the data ready pulses is present and the situation is similar to DRMODE = 01 or 10. In the 01,10 and 11 modes, the ADC channel data to be read is latched at the beginning of a reading, in order to prevent the case of erroneous data when a DR pulse happens during a read. In these modes the two channels are independent. When these bits are equal to 11,10 or 01, they control which ADC's data ready is present on the DR pin. When DRMODE=00, the data ready pin output is synchronized with the lagging ADC channel (defined by the PHASE register), and the ADCs are linked together. In this mode, the output of the two ADCs are latched synchronously at the moment of the DR event. This prevents from having bad synchronization between the two ADCs. The output is also latched at the beginning of a reading in order not to be updated during a read and not to give erroneous data. This mode is very useful for power metering applications because the data from both ADCs can be retrieved using this single data ready event and processed synchronously even in case of a large phase difference. This mode works as if there was one ADC channel and its data would be 48 bits long and contain both channel data. As a consequence, if one channel is in reset or shutdown when DRMODE=00, no data ready pulse will be present at the outputs (if both channels are not ready in this mode, the data is not considered as ready).
