Power-on Reset

The MCP3901 contains an internal POR circuit that

monitors analog supply voltage AVDD during operation.

The typical threshold for a power-up event detection is

4.2V ±5%. The POR circuit has a built-in hysteresis for

improved transient spikes immunity that has a typical

value of 200 mV. Proper decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF

ceramic and 10 µF tantalum) should be mounted as

close as possible to the AVDD pin, providing additional

transient immunity.

Figure 5-4

illustrates

the

different

conditions

power-up and a power-down event in the typical

conditions. All internal DC biases are not settled until at

least 50 µs after system POR. Any DR pulses during

this time, after a system Reset, should be ignored. After

POR, DR pulses are present at the pin with all the

default conditions in the Configuration registers.

Both AVDD and DVDD power supplies are independent.

Since AVDD is the only power supply that is monitored,

it is highly recommended to power up DVDD first as a

power-up sequence. If AVDD is powered up first, it is

highly recommended to keep the RESET pin low during

the whole power-up sequence.

RESET Effect on Delta-Sigma

Modulator/SINC Filter

When the RESET pin is low, both ADCs will be in Reset

and output code, 0x0000h. The RESET pin performs a

Hard Reset (DC biases still on, part ready to convert)

and clears all charges contained in the Delta-Sigma

modulators. The comparators’ output is ‘0011’ for each

ADC.

The SINC filters are all reset, as well as their double

output buffers. This pin is independent of the serial

interface. It brings the CONFIG registers to the default

state. When RESET is low, any write with the SPI

interface will be disabled and will have no effect. All

output pins (SDO, DR, MDAT0/1) are high-impedance,

and no clock is propagated through the chip.

Phase Delay Block

The MCP3901 incorporates a phase delay generator

which ensures that the two ADCs are converting the

inputs with a fixed delay between them. The two ADCs

are synchronously sampling but the averaging of

modulator outputs is delayed. Therefore, the SINC filter

outputs (thus, the ADC outputs) show a fixed phase

delay, as determined by the PHASE register setting.

The PHASE register (PHASE<7:0>) is a 7 bit + sign,

MSB first, two’s complement register that indicates how

much phase delay there is to be between Channel 0

and Channel 1. The reference channel for the delay is

Channel 1 (typically the voltage channel for power

metering

applications).

When

PHASE<7:0>

are

positive, Channel 0 is lagging versus Channel 1. When

PHASE<7:0> are negative, Channel 0 is leading

versus Channel 1. The amount of delay between two

ADC conversions is given by the following formula:

EQUATION 5-5:

The timing resolution of the phase delay is 1/DMCLK or

1 µs in the default configuration with MCLK = 4 MHz.

The data ready signals are affected by the phase delay

settings. Typically, the time difference between the data

ready pulses of Channel 0 and Channel 1 is equal to

the phase delay setting.
