MCP3905A/05L/06A
The high-frequency output HF
OUT
has lower
integration times and, thus, higher frequencies. The
output frequency value can be calculated with the
following equation:
EQUATION 4-2: HF
OUT
FREQUENCY
OUTPUT EQUATION
The constant HF
C
depends on the F
OUT0
and F
OUT1
digital settings with the Table 4-4.
The detailed timings of the output pulses are described
in the Timing Characteristics table (see Section 1.0
“Electrical Characteristics” and Figure 1-1).
4.7.1 MINIMAL OUTPUT FREQUENCY
FOR
NO-LOAD THRESHOLD
The MCP3905A/05L/06A devices also include, on
each output frequency, a no-load threshold circuit that
will eliminate any creep effects in the meter. The
outputs will not show any pulse if the output frequency
falls below the no-load threshold. The minimum output
frequency on F
OUT0/1
and HF
OUT
is equal to 0.0015%
of the maximum output frequency (respectively F
C
and
HF
C
) for each of the F2, F1 and F0 selections (see
Table 4-3 and Table 4-4); except when F2, F1,
F0 = 011. In this last configuration, the no-load
threshold feature is disabled. The selection of F
C
will
determine the start-up current load. In order to respect
the IEC standards requirements, the meter will have to
be designed to allow start-up currents compatible with
the standards by choosing the FC value matching
these requirements. For additional applications
information on no-load threshold, startup current and
other meter design points, refer to AN994, "IEC
Compliant Active Energy Meter Design Using The
MCP3905/6”, (DS00994).
