Rainbow Electronics MAXQ3120 - Manual (Page 29)

Appendix A: Applying a Lowpass
Filter (LPF) for Application-
Optimized ADC Performance
The MAXQ3120 gives a user application program direct
access to the ADC data stream right after its sinc3 fil-
ters. This unique feature permits the MAXQ3120 to be
optimized for its target applications. With the device’s
8MIPS processing power and the 1-cycle MAC, a linear
FIR filter can be easily computed in the user application
program. This section provides a simple LP FIR filter to
improve the SNR and THD performance of the
MAXQ3120 for the power-metering application.

1) LPF coefficients (up to 21st harmonic). Note that these coefficients have been converted to 16-bit fixed-point
numbers. A shift of 17 places is required after the multiply-accumulate operation.
