The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3551/3 devices
are 2.7V to 5.5V low-power, 22-bit Delta-Sigma
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). The devices offer
output noise as low as 2.5 µVRMS, with a total
unadjusted error of 10 ppm. The family exhibits 6 ppm
Integral Non-Linearity (INL) error, 3 µV offset error and
less than 2 ppm full-scale error. The MCP3551/3
devices provide high accuracy and low noise
performance
for
applications
where
sensor
measurements (such as pressure, temperature and
humidity) are performed. With the internal oscillator
and high oversampling rate, minimal external
components
are
required
for
high-accuracy
applications.

This parameter is established by characterization and not 100% tested.
INL is the difference between the endpoints line and the measured code at the center of the quantization band.
This current is due to the leakage current and the current due to the offset voltage between VIN+ and VIN-.
Input impedance is inversely proportional to clock frequency; typical values are for the MCP3551 device. VREF = 5V.
Characterized by design, but not tested.
Rejection performance depends on internal oscillator accuracy; see Section 4.0 “Device Overview” for more information on oscillator and digital filter design. MCP3551 device rejection specifications characterized from 49 to 61 Hz.

3.1
Voltage Reference (VREF)
The MCP3551/3 devices accept single-ended reference voltages from 0.1V to VDD. Since the converter
output noise is dominated by thermal noise, which is
independent of the reference voltage, the output noise
is not significantly improved by diminishing the reference voltage at the VREF input pin. A reduced voltage
reference will significantly improve the INL performance (see Figure 2-4); the INL max error is proportional to VREF2.
3.2
Analog Inputs (VIN+, VIN-)
The MCP3551/3 devices accept a fully differential analog input voltage to be connected on the VIN+ and VINinput pins. The differential voltage that is converted is
defined by VIN = VIN+ - VIN-. The differential voltage
range specified for ensured accuracy is from -VREF to
+VREF. However, the converter will still output valid and
usable codes with the inputs overranged by up to 12%
(see Section 5.0 “Serial Interface”) at room
temperature. This overrange is clearly specified by two
overload bits in the output code.
The absolute voltage range on these input pins extends
from VSS - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V. Any voltage above or
below this range will create leakage currents through
the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) diodes. This current
will increase exponentially, degrading the accuracy and
noise performance of the device. The common mode of
the analog inputs should be chosen such that both the
differential analog input range and the absolute voltage
range on each pin are within the specified operating
range defined in Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
3.3
Supply Voltage (VDD, VSS)
VDD is the power supply pin for the analog and digital
circuitry within the MCP3551/3. This pin requires an
appropriate bypass capacitor of 0.1 µF. The voltage on
© 2005 Microchip Technology Inc.
this pin should be maintained in the 2.7V to 5.5V range
for specified operation. VSS is the ground pin and the
current return path for both analog and digital circuitry
of the MCP3551/3. If an analog ground plane is
available, it is recommended that this device be tied to
the analog ground plane of the Printed Circuit Board
(PCB).
3.4
Serial Clock (SCK)
SCK synchronizes data communication with the
device. The device operates in both SPI™ mode 1,1
and SPI mode 0,0. Data is shifted out of the device on
the falling edge of SCK. Data is latched in on the rising
edge of SCK. During CS high times, the SCK pin can
idle either high or low.
3.5
Data Output (SDO/RDY)
SDO/RDY is the output data pin for the device. Once a
conversion is complete, this pin will go active-low,
acting as a ready flag. Subsequent falling clock edges
will then place the 24-bit data word (two overflow bits
and 22 bits of data, see Section 5.0 “Serial Interface”) on the SPI bus through the SDO pin. Data is
clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
3.6
Chip Select (CS)
CS gates all communication to the device and can be
used to select multiple devices that share the same
SCK and SDO/RDY pins. This pin is also used to
control the internal conversions, which begin on the
falling edge of CS. Raising CS before the first internal
conversion is complete places the device in Single
Conversion mode. Leaving CS low will place the
device in Continuous Conversion mode (i.e., additional
internal conversions will automatically occur). CS may
be tied permanently low for two-wire Continuous
Conversion mode operation. SDO/RDY enters a
high-impedance state with CS high.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP3551/3 devices communicate with a simple
3-wire SPI interface. The interface controls the
conversion start event, with an added feature of an
auto-conversion at system power-up by tying the CS
pin to logic-low. The device can communicate with bus
speeds of up to 5 MHz, with 50 pF capacitive loading.
The interface offers two conversion modes: Single
Conversion mode for multiplexed applications and a
Continuous Conversion mode for multiple conversions
in series. Every conversion is independent of each
other. That is, all internal registers are flushed between
conversions. When the device is not converting, it automatically goes into Shutdown mode and, while in this
mode, consumes less than 1 µA.
The MCP3551/3 devices are 22-bit delta-sigma ADCs
that include fully differential analog inputs, a third-order
delta-sigma modulator, a fourth-order modified SINC
decimation filter, an on-chip, low-noise internal oscillator, a power supply monitoring circuit and an SPI 3-wire
digital interface. These devices can be easily used to
measure low-frequency, low-level signals such as
those found in pressure transducers, temperature,
strain gauge, industrial control or process control applications. The power supply range for this product family
is 2.7V to 5.5V; the temperature range is -40°C to
+125°C. The functional block diagram for the
MCP3551/3 devices is shown in Figure 4-1.
A Power-On Reset (POR) monitoring circuit is included
to ensure proper power supply voltages during the
conversion process. The clock source for the part is
internally generated to ±0.5% over the full-power
supply voltage range and industrial temperature range.
This stable clock source allows for superior conversion
repeatability and minimal drift across conversions.
The MCP3551/3 devices employ a delta-sigma conversion technique to realize up to 22 bits of no missing
code performance with 21.9 Effective Number of Bits
(ENOB). These devices provide single-cycle
conversions with no digital filter settling time. Every
conversion includes an internal offset and gain
auto-calibration to reduce device error. These calibrations are transparent to the user and are done in
real-time during the conversion. Therefore, these
devices do not require any additional time or
conversion to proceed, allowing easy usage of the
devices for multiplexed applications. The MCP3551/3
devices incorporate a fourth-order digital decimation
filter in order to allow superior averaging performance,
as well as excellent line frequency rejection
capabilities. The oversampling frequency also reduces
any external anti-aliasing filter requirements.

4.2
The MCP3551/3 devices include a digital decimation
filter, which is a fourth-order modified SINC filter. This
filter averages the incoming bitstream from the modulator and outputs a 22-bit conversion word in binary
two's complement. When all bits have been processed
by the filter, the output code is ready for SPI communication, the RDY flag is set on the SDO/RDY pin and all
the internal registers are reset in order to process the
next conversion.
The converter core of the MCP3551/3 devices is a
third-order delta-sigma modulator with automatic gain
and offset error calibrations. The modulator uses a 1-bit
DAC structure. The delta-sigma modulator processes
the sampled charges through switched capacitor
structures controlled by a very low drift oscillator for
reduced clock jitter.
Like the commonly used SINC filter, the modified SINC
filter in the MCP3551/3 family has the main notch
frequency located at fS/(OSR*L), where fS is the bitstream sample frequency. OSR is the Oversampling
Ratio and L is the order of the filter.
During the conversion process, the modulator outputs
a bit stream with the bit frequency equivalent to the
fOSC/4 (see Table 4-1). The high oversampling
implemented in the modulator ensures very high
resolution and high averaging factor to achieve
low-noise specifications. The bit stream output of the
modulator is then processed by the digital decimation
filter in order to provide a 22-bit output code at a data
rate of 13.75 Hz for the MCP3551 and 60 Hz for the
MCP3553. Since the oversampling ratio is lower with
the MCP3553 device, a much higher output data rate is
achieved while still achieving 20 bits No Missing Codes
(NMC) and 20.6 ENOB.
For the MCP3551 device, this notch is located at
55 Hz. For the MCP3553 device, the main notch is
located at 240 Hz, with an OSR of 128. (see Table 4-1).
The digital decimation SINC filter has been modified in
order to offer staggered zeros in its transfer function.
This modification is intended to widen the main notch in
order to be less sensitive to oscillator deviation or
line-frequency drift. The MCP3551 filter has staggered
zeros spread in order to reject both 50 Hz and 60 Hz
line frequencies simulaneously (see Figure 4-2).
A self-calibration of offset and gain occurs at the onset
of every conversion. The conversion data available at
the output of the device is always calibrated for offset
and gain through this process. This offset and gain
auto-calibration is performed internally and has no
impact on the speed of the converter since the offset
and gain errors are calibrated in real-time during the
conversion. The real-time offset and gain calibration
schemes do not affect the conversion process.

The internal oscillator is held in the Reset condition
when the part is in Shutdown mode to ensure very low
power consumption (< 1 µA in Shutdown mode). The
internal oscillator is independent of all serial digital
interface edges (i.e., state machine processing the
digital SPI interface is asynchronous with respect to the
internal clock edges).

The MCP3551/3 devices accept a fully differential analog input voltage to be connected to the VIN+ and VINinput pins. The differential voltage that is converted is
defined by VIN = VIN+ - VIN-. The differential voltage
range specified for ensured accuracy is from -VREF to
+VREF.
The converter will output valid and usable codes from
-112% to 112% of output range (see Section 5.0
“Serial Interface”) at room temperature. The ±12%
overrange is clearly specified by two overload bits in
the output code: OVH and OVL. This feature allows for
system calibration of a positive gain error.

Differential Analog Inputs
Internal Oscillator
The MCP3551/3 devices include a highly stable and
accurate internal oscillator that provides clock signals
to the delta-sigma ADC with minimum jitter. The oscillator is a specialized structure with a low temperature
coefficient across the full range of specified operation,
see Table 4-1 for oscillator frequencies.
The conversion time is an integer multiple of the internal clock period and, therefore, has the same accuracy
as the internal clock frequency. The oscillator
frequency is 112.64 kHz ±0.5% for the MCP3551 and
122.88 kHz ±0.5% for the MCP3553 devices across
the full power supply voltage and specified temperature
ranges.
The notch of the digital filter is proportional to the
internal oscillator frequency, with the exact notch
frequency equivalent to the oscillator accuracy (< 0.5%
deviation). This high accuracy, combined with wide
notches, will ensure that the MCP3551 includes both
50 Hz and 60 Hz line frequency rejection by the digital
filtering, even when jitter is present.
DS21950B-page 14
The absolute voltage range on these input pins extends
from VSS - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V. If the input voltages are
above or below this range, the leakage currents of the
ESD diodes will increase exponentially, degrading the
accuracy and noise performance of the converter. The
common mode of the analog inputs should be chosen
such that both the differential analog input range and
absolute voltage range on each pin are within the
specified operating range defined in the Section 1.0
“Electrical Characteristics”.
Both the analog differential inputs and the reference
input have switched-capacitor input structures. The
input capacitors are charged and discharged alternatively with the input and the reference in order to
process a conversion. The charge and discharge of the
input capacitors create dynamic input currents at the
VIN+ and VIN- input pins inversely proportional to the
sampling capacitor. This current is a function of the
differential input voltages and their respective common
modes. The typical value of the differential input impedance is 2.4 MΩ, with VCM = 2.5V, VDD = VREF = 5V. The
DC leakage current caused by the ESD input diodes,
even though on the order of 1 nA, can cause additional
offset errors proportional to the source resistance at the
VIN+ and VIN- input pins.
From a transient response standpoint and as a
first-order approximation, these input structures form a
simple RC filtering circuit with the source impedance in
series with the RON (switched resistance when closed)
of the input switch and the sampling capacitor. In order
to ensure the accuracy of the sampled charge, proper
settling time of the input circuit has to be considered.
Slow settling of the input circuit will create additional
gain error. As a rule of thumb, in order to obtain 1 ppm
absolute measurement accuracy, the sampling period
must be 14 times greater than the input circuit RC time
constant.

MCP3551/3
4.5
Voltage Reference Input Pin
The MCP3551/3 devices accept a single-ended
external reference voltage, to be connected on the
VREF input pin. Internally, the reference voltage for the
ADC is a differential voltage with the non-inverting input
connected to the VREF pin and the inverting input
connected to the VSS pin. The value of the reference
voltage is VREF - VSS and the common mode of the
reference is always (VREF - VSS)/2.
The MCP3551/3 devices accept a single-ended
reference voltage from 0.1V to VDD. The converter
output noise is dominated by thermal noise that is
independent of the reference voltage. Therefore, the
output noise is not significantly improved by lowering
the reference voltage at the VREF input pin. However, a
reduced reference voltage will significantly improve the
INL performance since the INL max error is
proportional to VREF2 (see Figure 2-4).
The charge and discharge of the input capacitor create
dynamic input currents at the VREF input pin inversely
proportional to the sampling capacitor, which is a function of the input reference voltage. The typical value of
the single-ended input impedance is 2.4 MΩ, with
VDD = VREF = 5V. The DC leakage current caused by
the ESD input diodes, though on the order of 1 nA
typically, can cause additional gain error proportional to
the source resistance at the VREF pin.
4.6
Power-On Reset (POR)
The MCP3551/3 devices contain an internal Power-On
Reset (POR) circuit that monitors power supply voltage
VDD during operation. This circuit ensures correct
device start-up at system power-up and power-down
events. The POR has built-in hysteresis and a timer to
give a high degree of immunity to potential ripple and
noise on the power supplies, as well as to allow proper
settling of the power supply during power-up. A 0.1 µF
decoupling capacitor should be mounted as close as
possible to the VDD pin, providing additional transient
immunity.
The threshold voltage is set at 2.2V, with a tolerance of
approximately ±5%. If the supply voltage falls below
this threshold, the MCP3551/3 devices will be held in a
reset condition or in Shutdown mode. When the part is
in Shutdown mode, the power consumption is less than
1 µA. The typical hysteresis value is around 200 mV in
order to prevent reset during brown-out or other
glitches on the power supply.
Once a power-up event has occurred, the device must
require additional time before a conversion can take
place. During this time, all internal analog circuitry must
settle before the first conversion can occur. An internal
timer counts 32 internal clock periods before the
internal oscillator can provide clock to the conversion
process. This allows all internal analog circuitry to
settle to their proper operating point. This timing is

typically less than 300 µs, which is negligible compared
to one conversion time (72.7 ms for the MCP3551).
Figure 4-4 illustrates the conditions for a power-up and
power-down event under typical start-up conditions.

Shutdown Mode
When not internally converting, the two modes of
operation for the MCP3551/3 devices are the
Shutdown and Sleep modes. During Shutdown mode,
all internal analog circuitry, including the POR, is turned
off and the device consumes less than 1 µA. When
exiting Shutdown mode, the device must require additional time before a conversion can take place. During
this time, all internal analog circuitry must settle before
the first conversion can occur. An internal timer counts
32 internal clock periods before the internal oscillator
can provide clock to the conversion process. This
allows all internal analog circuitry to settle to their
proper operating point. This timing is typically less than
300 µs, which is negligible compared to one conversion
time (72.7 ms for MCP3551).
4.8
Sleep Mode
During Sleep mode, the device is not converting and is
awaiting data retrieval; the internal analog circuitry is
still running and the device typically consumes 10 µA.
In order to restart a conversion while in Sleep mode,
toggling CS to a logic-high (placing the part in Shutdown mode) and then back to a logic-low will restart the
conversion. Sleep can only be entered in Single
Conversion mode. Once a conversion is complete in
Single Conversion mode, the device automatically
enters Sleep mode.

SERIAL INTERFACE
5.1
Overview
Serial communication between the microcontroller and
the MCP3551/3 devices is achieved using CS, SCK
and SDO/RDY. There are two modes of operation:
Single Conversion and Continuous Conversion. CS
controls the conversion start. There are 24 bits in the
data word: 22 bits of conversion data and two overflow
bits. The conversion process takes place via the internal oscillator and the status of this conversion must be
detected. The typical method of communication is
shown in Figure 5-1. The status of the internal conversion is the SDO/RDY pin and is available with CS low.
A High state on SDO/RDY means the device is busy
converting, while a Low state means the conversion is
finished and data is ready for transfer using SCK.
SDO/RDY remains in a high-impedance state when
CS is held high. CS must be low when clocking out the
data using SCK and SDO/RDY.

(OVH)
when
VIN > VREF - 1 LSB, OVH toggles to logic ‘1’, detecting
an overflow high in the analog input voltage.
Bit 23 is Overflow Low (OVL) when VIN < -VREF, OVL
toggles to logic ‘1’, detecting an overflow low in the
analog input voltage. The state OVH = OVL = ‘1’ is not
defined and should be considered as an interrupt for
the SPI interface meaning erroneous communication.
and logic ‘1’ when the differential analog input is
negative. From Bit 20 to bit 0, the output code is given
MSb first (MSb is bit 20 and LSB is Bit 0). When the
analog input value is comprised between -VREF and
VREF - 1 LSB, the two overflow bits are set to logic ‘0’.
The relationship between input voltage and output
code is shown in Figure 5-1.
The delta-sigma modulator saturation point for the
differential analog input is located at around ±112% of
VREF (at room temperature), meaning that the modulator will still give accurate output codes with an overrange of 12% below or above the reference voltage.
Unlike the usual 22-bit device, the 22-bit output code
will not lock at 0x1FFFFF for positive sign inputs or
0x200000 for negative sign inputs in order to take
advantage of the overrange capabilities of the device.
This can be practical for closed-loop operations, for
instance. In case of an overflow, the output code
becomes a 23-bit two's complement output code,
where the sign bit will be the OVL bit. If an overflow
high or low is detected, OVL (bit 23) becomes the sign
bit (instead of bit 21), the MSb is then bit 21 and the
converter can be used as a 23-bit two's complement
code converter, with output code from bits B21 to B0,
and OVL as the sign bit. Figure 5-1 summarizes the
output coding data format with or without overflow high
and low.
Bit 21 to bit 0 represent the output code in 22-bit
binary two's complement. Bit 21 is the sign bit and is
logic ‘0’ when the differential analog input is positive

5.2
Controlling Internal Conversions
and the Internal Oscillator
During Shutdown mode, on the falling edge of CS, the
conversion process begins. During this process, the
internal oscillator clocks the delta-sigma modulator and
the SINC filter until a conversion is complete. This
conversion time is tCONV and the timing is shown in
Figure 5-2. At the end of tCONV, the digital filter has
settled completely and there is no latency involved with
the digital SINC filter of the MCP3551/3.
In Continuous Conversion mode, a consecutive
conversion will be automatic. In this mode, the device
is continuously converting, independent of the serial
interface. The most recent conversion data will always
be available in the Output register.
When the device exits Shutdown, there is an internal
power-up delay that must be observed.
The two modes of conversion for the MCP3551/3
devices are Single Conversion and Continuous
Conversion. In Single Conversion mode, a consecutive
conversion will not automatically begin. Instead, after a
single conversion is complete and all four filters have
settled, the device puts the data into the output register
and enters shutdown.

Single Conversion Mode
If a rising edge of Chip Select (CS) occurs during tCONV,
a subsequent conversion will not take place and the
device will enter low-power Shutdown mode after
tCONV completes. This is referred to as Single
Conversion mode. This operation is demonstrated in
Figure 5-3. Note that a falling edge of CS during the
same conversion that detected a rising edge, as in
Figure 5-2, will not initiate a new conversion. Once a
rising edge is seen, the device will enter Sleep, then
Shutdown mode. Once the device has been put into
Single Conversion mode, the data must be clocked out
in order for a new conversion to take place. A
subsequent falling edge on CS during Shutdown mode
will not initiate a new conversion, unless the prior
conversion data has been clocked out of the device.
After the final data bit has been clocked out on the 25th
clock, the SDO/RDY pin will go active-high.
5.3.1
READY FUNCTION OF SDO/RDY
PIN, SINGLE CONVERSION MODE
At every falling edge of CS during the internal conversion, the state of the internal conversion is latched on
the SDO/RDY pin to give ready or busy information. A
High state means the device is currently performing an
internal conversion and data cannot be clocked out. A
Low state means the device has finished its conversion
and the data is ready for retrieval on the falling edge of
SCK. This operation is demonstrated in Figure 5-4.
Note that the device has been put into Single
Conversion mode with the first rising edge of CS.
Note:
The Ready state is latched on each falling
edge of CS and will not dynamically
update if CS is held low. CS must be
toggled high thru low.
Int. Osc
If no rising edge of CS occurs during any given conversion per Figure 5-2, a subsequent conversion will take
place and the contents of the previous conversion will
be overwritten. This operation is demonstrated in
Figure 5-5. Once conversion output data has started to
be clocked out, the output buffer is not refreshed until
all 24 bits have been clocked. A complete read must
occur in order to read the next conversion in this mode.
The subsequent conversion data to be read will then be
the most recent conversion. The conversion time is
fixed and cannot be shortened by the rising edge of CS.
This rising edge will place the part in Shutdown mode
and all conversion data will be lost.
The transfer of data from the SINC filter to the output
buffer is demonstrated in Figure 5-5. If the previous
conversion data is not clocked out of the device, it will
be lost and replaced by the new conversion. When the
device is in Continuous Conversion mode, the most
recent conversion data is always present at the output
register for data retrieval.

5.4
READY FUNCTION OF SDO/RDY
PIN IN CONTINUOUS CONVERSION
MODE
The device enters Continuous Conversion mode if no
rising edge of CS is seen during tCONV and consecutive conversions ensue. SDO/RDY will be high,
indicating that a conversion is in process. When a
conversion is complete, SDO/RDY will change to a
Low state. With the Low state of SDO/RDY after this
first conversion, the conversion data can be accessed
with the combination of SCK and SDO/RDY. If the data
ready event happens during the clocking out of the
data, the data ready bit will be displayed after the
complete 24-bit word communication (i.e., the data
ready event will not interrupt a data transfer).

MCP3551/3
If 24 bits of data are required from this conversion, they
must be accessed during this communication. You can
terminate data transition by bringing CS high, but the
remaining data will be lost and the converter will go into
Shutdown mode. Once the data has been transmitted
by the converter, the SDO/RDY pin will remain in the
LSB state until the 25th falling edge of SCK. At this
point, SDO/RDY is released from the Data Acquisition
mode and changed to the RDY state.
Note:
5.4.2
The RDY state is not latched to CS in this
mode; the RDY flag dynamically updates
on the SDO/RDY pin and remains in this
state until data is clocked out using the
SCK pin.
2-WIRE CONTINUOUS
CONVERSION OPERATION,
(CS TIED PERMANENTLY LOW)
It is possible to use only two wires to communicate with
the MCP3551/3 devices. In this state, the device is
always in Continuous Conversion mode, with internal
conversions continuously occurring. This mode can be
entered by having CS low during power-up or changing
it to a low position after power-up. If CS is low at
power-up, the first conversion of the converter is
initiated approximately 300 µs after the power supply
has stabilized.
5.5
Using The MCP3551/3 with
Microcontroller (MCU) SPI™ Ports
It is required that the microcontroller SPI port be configured to clock out data on the falling edge of clock and
latch data in on the rising edge. Figure 5-6 depicts the
operation shown in SPI mode 1,1 which requires that
the SCK from the MCU idles in the High state, while
Figure 5-7 shows the similar case of SPI Mode 0,0
where the clock idles in the Low state. The waveforms
in the figures are examples of an MCU operating the
SPI port in 8-bit mode, and the MCP3551/3 devices do
not require data in 8-bit groups.
In SPI mode 1,1, data is read using only 24 clocks or
three byte transfers. The data ready bit must be read
by testing the SDO/RDY line prior to a falling edge of
the clock.
In SPI mode 0,0, data is read using 25 clocks or four
byte transfers. Please note that the data ready bit is
included in the transfer as the first bit in this mode.
