3.5.1
The task of this module is to enable the MCP3909 device to enter the "Channel Output"
mode. This design uses the "Channel Output" mode of the MCP3909 device. In this mode,
the current and voltage data channels measured by the ADC is sent through the
MCP3909 device's SPI port. To enable the MCP3909 device to enter the Channel
Output mode, certain instructions must be sent to the device via the SPI interface within
a specified time (32CLK) after resetting the MCP3909 device.
• Enable all MCP3909 devices: enable ADCS1, ADCS2 and ADCS3, and configure
• Reset the MCP3909 device through the RESET pin. The pin must be pulled low
• After the RESET pin is pulled high, wait for 4 clock cycles for the MCP3909 device
• Send Instruction 0x94 to the MCP3909 device through the SPI Interface
• Configure the SPI interface to 16-bit mode and strobe the MCP3909 device for
