The MCP3912A1-E/MQ is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is specifically designed for data acquisition applications that require precise measurement accuracy and high-speed simultaneous sampling of multiple channels. The IC offers numerous key features and functionalities that make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
One of the standout features of the MCP3912A1-E/MQ is its ability to simultaneously sample and convert analog signals from up to two different sources. It features two 24-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that can operate at a maximum sampling rate of 125 kilosamples per second (ksps). This high-speed sampling capability allows for accurate capturing and processing of rapidly changing signals.
The IC component also incorporates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with selectable gain settings ranging from 1x to 128x. This versatile PGA enhances the flexibility of the MCP3912A1-E/MQ, enabling it to accommodate a wide range of input signal amplitudes while maintaining accuracy and precision.
To support its data acquisition capabilities, the MCP3912A1-E/MQ integrates a flexible digital signal processing (DSP) engine. This internal DSP engine includes a 24-bit programmable digital filter, enabling users to apply various filtering techniques to eliminate noise and enhance signal quality. Additionally, the IC provides programmable voltage and current references, ensuring accurate measurement across different voltage and current ranges
