Description
The MCP3905A/05L/06A devices are energy-metering ICs designed to support the IEC 62053 international metering standard specification. They supply a frequency output proportional to the average active real power, as well as a higher-frequency output proportional to the instantaneous power for meter calibration.
Features
• Supplies active (real) power measurement for
single-phase, residential energy metering
• Supports IEC 62053 International Energy
Metering Specification and legacy IEC
1036/61036/687 Specifications
• Two multi-bit, DAC, second-order, 16-bit,
DeltaSigma Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs)
• Reduced pulse width of calibration output
frequency and mechanical counter drive for low
power meter designs (MCP3905L)
• Increased output frequency constant options for
meter design (MCP3905L)
