3.2

Digital VDD (DVDD)

DVDD is the power supply voltage for the digital circuitry

within the MCP3910. For optimal performance, it is rec-

ommended to connect appropriate bypass capacitors

(typically a 10 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic).

DVDD should be maintained between 2.7V and 3.6V for

specified operation.

3.3

Analog VDD (AVDD)

AVDD is the power supply voltage for the analog

circuitry within the MCP3910. For optimal performance,

it is recommended to connect appropriate bypass

capacitors (typically a 10 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF

ceramic). AVDD should be maintained between 2.7V

and 3.6V for specified operation.

3.4

ADC Differential Analog Inputs

(CHn+/CHn-)

The CHn+/- pins (n comprised between 0 and 1) are

the two fully differential analog voltage inputs for the

Delta-Sigma ADCs.

The linear and specified region of the channels are

dependent on the PGA gain. This region corresponds

to a differential voltage range of ±600 mV/GAIN with

VREF = 1.2V.

The maximum absolute voltage, with respect to AGND,

for each CHn+/- input pin is ±1V with no distortion and

±2V with no breaking after continuous voltage. This

maximum absolute voltage is not proportional to the

VREF voltage.

3.5

Analog Ground (AGND)

AGND is the ground reference voltage for the analog

circuitry within the MCP3910. For optimal performance,

it is recommended to connect it to the same ground

node voltage as DGND; again preferable with a star

connection.

If an analog ground plane is available, it is recom-

mended that these pins be tied to this plane of the PCB.

This plane should also reference all other analog

circuitry in the system.

3.6

Noninverting Reference Input,

Internal Reference Output

(REFIN+/OUT)

This pin is the noninverting side of the differential

voltage reference input for all ADCs or the internal

voltage reference output.

When VREFEXT = 1, an external voltage reference

source can be used and the internal voltage reference

is disabled. When using an external differential voltage

reference, it should be connected to its VREF+ pin.

When using an external single-ended reference, it

should be connected to this pin.

When VREFEXT = 0, the internal voltage reference is

enabled and connected to this pin through a switch.

This voltage reference has minimal drive capability and

thus needs proper buffering and bypass capacitances

(a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is sufficient in most cases)

if used as a voltage source.

If the voltage reference is only used as an internal VREF,

adding bypass capacitance on REFIN+/OUT is not nec-

essary for keeping ADC accuracy. To avoid EMI/EMC

susceptibility issues due to the antenna created by the

REFIN+/OUT pin, if left floating, a minimal 0.1 µF

ceramic capacitance can be connected.

3.7

Inverting Reference Input (REFIN-)

This pin is the inverting side of the differential voltage

reference input for all ADCs. When using an external

differential voltage reference, it should be connected to

its VREF- pin. When using an external single-ended

voltage reference, or when VREFEXT = 0 (default) and

using the internal voltage reference, the pin should be

directly connected to AGND.

3.8

Digital Ground Connection (DGND)

DGND is the ground reference voltage for the digital

circuitry within the MCP3910. For optimal performance,

it is recommended to connect it to the same ground

node voltage as AGND, again preferable with a star

connection.

If a digital ground plane is available, it is recommended

that these pins be tied to this plane of the Printed Circuit

Board (PCB). This plane should also reference all other

digital circuitry in the system.
