READING A/D DATA OF THE MCP3909 DEVICE
All three MCP3909 devices use the same clock source and reset signal, so all 6 A/D
channels of the 3 MCP3909 devices are synchronous. Only a single Data Ready (SDO)
signal of any of the MCP3909 device is required to read A/D data of the 3 phases in
turn. This module is invoked by IC1 interrupt triggered by the "data ready" signal on the
SDO of the MCP3909 device. IC1 is set to generate an interrupt for every two falling
edges. Therefore, only one of the two sampling data of the MCP3909 device is
read.The flow of reading the MCP3909 device's data is as follows:
• Retrieve all values of 3-phases, both current channel and voltage channel data.
• Accumulate the active power of each phase. On every other interrupt, the current
• Update the pointer of sampling array and length of sampling data. If the length of
FIGURE 3-5:
Bits 0-15 of each phase data are voltage channel data, bits 16-31 are current
channel data
and voltage values are stored into RAM in the cyclic sampling array
sampling data is 3-line cycles long, set the sampling complete flag, and then the
calculation function Calculate() will be called by the main flow to start computing
all corresponding parameters.
