The MCP3905A is an energy measurement IC supporting the IEC 62053 international energy metering specification. The output of the device includes a frequency proportional to the average active (real) power at the inputs as well as a higher frequency output proportional to the instantaneous power for meter calibration. The MCP3905A incorporates two 16-bit delta-sigma ADCs with a programmable gain up to 16, which enable small shunt meter designs for measuring a wide range of Ib and Imax currents. The integrated on-chip voltage reference has ultra-low temperature drift of 15 ppm//°C.
The MCP3905A Evaluation board is designed (using the new MCP3905A device) to test out a variety of energy meter designs. On the input side high voltage line and load AC-plug headers are included, along with mounting holes for shunts, current transformers, and screw-type connections for wiring. On the output side a large prototype area is included along with optical isolation and a standard PICtail...
The MCP3905A Energy Meter Reference Design (using the new MCP3905A/06A device) is a stand-alone low cost energy meter. It can act as either a stand alone energy meter, or as the analog front end design for LCD microcontroller based meters. The MCP3905 design is specified with an energy measurement error of 0.1% typical across 1:500 dynamic range for high accurate energy meter designs. This...
