MCP3909
6.2
In most energy meter applications, it will be necessary
to have 2
where N is typically 64, 128 or 256. Controlling the
MCLK of the MCP3909 allows you to control the
sample rate and ultimately the data ready (DR) pulses
for coherent waveform sampling. The following
scheme shows how the TIMER and COMPARATOR
modules of the PIC MCU can be used to generate the
clock for the MCP3909 from either a PLL internal
MCLK. For class 0.2 or class 0.1 meter designs that
require
recommended to shift sample rate with line cycle drift,
e.g. line cycle changes from 60 Hz to 59.1 Hz. This is
shown as option 1 in

A simpler lower cost option would be to choose a
frequency that would give an integer number of line
cycles for exactly 50 Hz (or 60 Hz). This is possible
using a 39.3216 MHz crystal for the PIC18F device.

achieve 128 samples for each line cycle, 1.63 MHz for
a 50 Hz line, or 1.96 MHz for a 60 Hz line. The
MCP3909 clock can operate from 1 MHz to 4 MHz.
Using this approach, the PIC MCU can gather the
waveform data immediately after the data ready pulse,
at up to 10 MHz. The remainder of the time can be used
to calculate the power measurements to achieve true
line cycle sampling with zero blind cycles.
