Product Overview
The MCP3911A0-E/SS is a 3.3V dual-channel energy metering analog front end (AFE) from Microchip, featuring two simultaneous-sampling 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs with programmable gain amplifiers (PGA). With 94.5dB SINAD and -106.5dBc THD, it meets IEC 62053-22 Class 0.1S metering standards. The device includes a low-drift 1.2V internal reference, phase delay compensation, and a 20MHz SPI interface in a 20-lead SSOP package.
