The MCP3905/06 low-pass filter is a first-order IIR filter
that extracts the active (real) power information (DC
component) from the instantaneous power signal. The
magnitude response of this filter is detailed in Figure 4-
5. Due to the fact that the instantaneous power signal
has harmonic content (coming from the 2ω components
of the inputs), and since the filter is not ideal, there will
be some ripple at the output of the low-pass filter at the
harmonics of the line frequency.
The cut-off frequency of the filter (8.9 Hz) has been
chosen to have sufficient rejection for commonly-used
line frequencies (50 Hz and 60 Hz). With a standard
input clock (MCLK = 3.58 MHz) and a 50 Hz line
frequency, the rejection of the 2ω component (100 Hz)
will be more than 20 dB. This equates to a 2ω
component containing 10 times less power than the
main DC component (i.e., the average active (real)
power).

The output of the low-pass filter is accumulated in the
DTF converter. This accumulation is compared to a
different digital threshold for F

The equivalent quantity of real energy required to

integration period acts as another low-pass filter so that
the output ripple due to the 2ω components is minimal.
However, these components are not totally removed,
since realized low-pass filters are never ideal. This will
create a small jitter in the output frequency. Averaging
the output pulses with a counter or a Microcontroller
Unit (MCU) in the application will then remove the small
sinusoidal content of the output frequency and filter out
the remaining 2ω ripple.
