Overview
The MCP3911 ADC Evaluation Board for 16-Bit MCUs system provides the ability 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 PIM systems compatible with the Explorer-16 and other high pin count Microchip PIC demo boards. The system comes with a programmed PIC24FJ256GA110 PIM module that communicates with the included PC software for data exchange and ADC configuration.
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, internal voltage reference, modulator output block, and highspeed 20 MHz SPI compatible serial interface. The MCP3911 is capable of interfacing a large variety of voltage and current sensors including shunts, current transformers, Rogowski coils and Hall effect sensors.
Key Application: Energy Metering and Power Measurement, Automotive, Portable Instrumentation, Medical and Power Monitoring, Audio/Voice Recognition.
