Product details
Overview
MCP3909EV-MCU16 from Microchip Technology is an evaluation board designed to validate the dual-channel 16-bit delta-sigma ADC MCP3909 in conjunction with 16-bit PIC microcontrollers, supporting simultaneous 15 ksps sampling at 81 dB SINAD and enabling real-time spectral analysis via dsPIC33F firmware.
For engineers reviewing the MCP3909EV-MCU16 datasheet, MCP3909EV-MCU16 pinout, MCP3909EV-MCU16 application, or MCP3909EV-MCU16 equivalent, this board serves as a complete hardware-software reference platform for energy metering ADC integration, analog signal fidelity validation, and SPI-based data acquisition system development with LabVIEW GUI support.
Technical Context
The MCP3909EV-MCU16 integrates a 100-pin PIM socket compatible with PIC24FJ128GA010 and dsPIC33FJ256GP710 modules, using Output Compare 1 (OC1) to generate programmable MCLK signals (up to 3.792 MHz) for the MCP3909, yielding configurable data rates from 644 sps to 14.81 ksps.
It implements dual differential analog input paths (CH0+/−, CH1+/−) with jumper-selectable single-ended mode, dedicated HPF/PGA configuration, and robust 4-layer PCB layout featuring separate analog/digital power planes and grounding to preserve low-noise ADC performance.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MCP3909EV-MCU16?
The MCP3909EV-MCU16 is an evaluation board that enables functional validation and performance characterization of the MCP3909 dual-channel 16-bit delta-sigma ADC when interfaced with 16-bit PIC microcontrollers. It provides preloaded firmware, analog signal conditioning, configurable clock generation, and PC software tools - all integrated into a single 4-layer hardware platform to streamline energy metering and high-fidelity data acquisition development.
Which microcontroller modules are included with the MCP3909EV-MCU16?
The MCP3909EV-MCU16 ships with two pre-programmed plug-in modules: the PIC24FJ128GA010 and dsPIC33FJ256GP710. Both modules drive the MCP3909 via SPI, generate its MCLK using Output Compare 1 (OC1), handle real-time data acquisition, and support UART transmission of sampled data and FFT results to the host PC.
How does the MCP3909EV-MCU16 achieve variable sampling rates?
The MCP3909EV-MCU16 achieves five discrete sampling rates (644 sps to 14.81 ksps) by configuring the PR1 timer register in the dsPIC33F/PIC24 firmware to adjust the OC1 output frequency - which serves as the MCP3909's MCLK input. Each rate corresponds to a specific "gear" selected via SW3, directly determining the final data rate as MCLK/256 per the MCP3909 specification.
Does the MCP3909EV-MCU16 support USB data transfer?
The MCP3909EV-MCU16 includes a USB interface circuit with 512 × 8 SRAM for buffered data capture, but no USB firmware is supplied on the onboard PIC18F86J55. The board relies on UART (115.2 kbps) for real-time streaming of time-domain samples, FFT outputs, and histogram data to the provided LabVIEW-based PC GUI tool.
What software tools accompany the MCP3909EV-MCU16?
The MCP3909EV-MCU16 is supported by a dedicated PC software tool built in LabVIEW that provides graphical analysis windows: Scope Plot (time domain), Histogram (noise distribution), FFT (frequency domain), and Auxiliary Data (statistical metrics). It receives ASCII-formatted 16-bit sample pairs via UART and synchronizes with board-side gear selection for accurate interpretation.
