Energy Metering IC with  
On-Chip Fault Detection  
ADE7760  
FEATURES  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
High accuracy active energy measurement IC, supports  
IEC 687/61036  
Less than 0.1% error over a dynamic range of 500 to 1  
Supplies active power on the frequency outputs F1 and F2  
High frequency output CF is intended for calibration and  
supplies instantaneous active power  
Continuous monitoring of the phase and neutral current  
allows fault detection in 2-wire distribution systems  
Current channels input level best suited for current  
transformer sensors  
Uses the larger of the two currents (phase or neutral) to  
bill—even during a fault condition  
Two logic outputs (FAULT and REVP) can be used to indicate  
a potential miswiring or fault condition  
Direct drive for electromechanical counters and 2-phase  
stepper motors (F1 and F2)  
The ADE7760 is a high accuracy, fault tolerant, electrical energy  
measurement IC intended for use with 2-wire distribution  
systems. The part specifications surpass the accuracy require-  
ments as quoted in the IEC61036 standard.  
The only analog circuitry used on the ADE7760 is in the ADCs  
and reference circuit. All other signal processing (such as multi-  
plication and filtering) is carried out in the digital domain. This  
approach provides superior stability and accuracy over extremes  
in environmental conditions and over time.  
The ADE7760 incorporates a fault detection scheme similar to  
the ADE7751 by continuously monitoring both the phase and  
neutral currents. A fault is indicated when these currents differ  
by more than 6.25%.  
Proprietary ADCs and DSP provide high accuracy over large  
variations in environmental conditions and time  
Reference 2.5 V 8% (drift 30 ppm/°C typical) with external  
overdrive capability  
The ADE7760 supplies average active power information on the  
low frequency outputs F1 and F2. The CF logic output gives  
instantaneous active power information.  
Single 5 V supply, low power  
The ADE7760 includes a power supply monitoring circuit on  
the VDD supply pin. Internal phase-matching circuitry ensures  
that the voltage and current channels are matched. An internal  
no-load threshold ensures that the ADE7760 does not exhibit  
any creep when there is no load.

ESD CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on  
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features  
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy  
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance  
degradation or loss of functionality.

TERMINOLOGY  
Measurement Error  
For the dc PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies  
The error associated with the energy measurement made by the  
ADE7760 is defined by the following formula:  
(5 V) is taken. A second reading is obtained with the same input  
signal levels when the power supplies are varied 5%. Any error  
introduced is again expressed as a percentage of reading.  
Percentage Error =  
ADC Offset Error  
Energy registered by ADE7760 True Energy  
This refers to the dc offset associated with the analog inputs to  
the ADCs. It means that with the analog inputs connected to  
AGND the ADCs still see a dc analog input signal. The magni-  
tude of the offset depends on the input range selection (see the  
Typical Performance Characteristics section). However, when  
HPFs are switched on, the offset is removed from the current  
channels and the power calculation is not affected by this offset.  
×100%  
True Energy  
Phase Error between Channels  
The high-pass filter (HPF) in the current channel has a phase  
lead response. To offset this phase response and equalize the  
phase response between channels, a phase correction network is  
also placed in the current channel. The phase correction net-  
work ensures a phase match between the current channels and  
voltage channels to within 0.1° over a range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz  
and 0.2° over a range 40 Hz to 1 kHz.  
Gain Error  
The gain error in the ADE7760 ADCs is defined as the differ-  
ence between the measured output frequency (minus the offset)  
and the ideal output frequency. The difference is expressed as a  
percentage of the ideal frequency. The ideal frequency is  
obtained from the transfer function (see the Transfer Function  
section).  
Power Supply Rejection  
This quantifies the ADE7760 measurement error as a percent-  
age of reading when the power supplies are varied. For the ac  
PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies (5 V) is taken.  
A second reading is obtained with the same input signal levels  
when an ac (175 mV rms/100 Hz) signal is introduced onto the  
supplies. Any error introduced by this ac signal is expressed as a  
percentage of reading (see the Measurement Error definition  
above).

VDD  
Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the digital circuitry in the ADE7760. The supply  
voltage should be maintained at 5 V 5% for specified operation. This pin should be decoupled with a  
10 µF capacitor in parallel with a ceramic 100 nF capacitor.

V1A, V1B  
Analog Inputs for Channel 1 (Current Channel). These inputs are fully differential voltage inputs with  
maximum differential input signal levels of 660 mV with respect to V1N for specified operation. The  
maximum signal level at these pins is 1 V with respect to AGND. Both inputs have internal ESD  
protection circuitry, and an overvoltage of 6 V can also be sustained on these inputs without risk of  
permanent damage.

V1N  
Negative Input Pin for Differential Voltage Inputs V1A and V1B. The maximum signal level at this pin is  
1 V with respect to AGND. The input has internal ESD protection circuitry, and an overvoltage of 6 V  
can also be sustained on these inputs without risk of permanent damage. The input should be directly  
connected to the burden resistor and held at a fixed potential, that is, AGND. See the Analog Inputs  
section.

V2N  
Negative Input Pin for Differential Voltage Input V2P. The maximum signal level at this pin is 1 V with

Not Connected. Nothing should be connected to this pin.  
This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry in the ADE7760, that is, ADCs and  
reference. This pin should be tied to the analog ground plane of the PCB. The analog ground plane is the  
ground reference for all analog circuitry such as antialiasing filters, and current and voltage transducers.  
For good noise suppression, the analog ground plane should be connected only to the digital ground  
plane at the DGND pin.

REFIN/OUT  
This pin provides access to the on-chip voltage reference. The on-chip reference has a nominal value of  
2.5 V 8% and a typical temperature coefficient of 30 ppm/°C. An external reference source can also be  
connected at this pin. In either case, this pin should be decoupled to AGND with a 1 μF ceramic  
capacitor and 100 nF ceramic capacitor.

INT  
RCLKIN  
This pin is internally used and should be connected to DGND.  
To enable the internal oscillator as a clock source on the chip, a precise low temperature drift resistor at

FAULT  
This logic output goes active high when a fault condition occurs. A fault is defined as a condition under  
which the signals on V1A and V1B differ by more than 6.25%. The logic output is reset to zero when a fault  
condition is no longer detected. See the Fault Detection section.

REVP  
This logic output goes logic high when negative power is detected, that is, when the phase angle  
between the voltage and current signals is greater than 90°. This output is not latched and is reset when  
positive power is once again detected. The output goes high or low at the same time as a pulse is issued  
on CF.  
This pin provides the ground reference for the digital circuitry in the ADE7760, that is, multiplier, filters,  
and digital-to-frequency converter. This pin should be tied to the digital ground plane of the PCB. The  
digital ground plane is the ground reference for all digital circuitry such as counters (mechanical and  
digital), MCUs, and indicator LEDs. For good noise suppression, the analog ground plane should be  
connected only to the digital ground plane at the DGND pin.

OPERATION  
POWER SUPPLY MONITOR  
Channel V2 (Voltage Channel)  
The output of the line voltage transducer is connected to the  
ADE7760 at this analog input. Channel V2 is a single-ended  
voltage input. The maximum peak differential signal on  
Channel 2 is 660 mV with respect to V2N. Figure 10 shows the  
maximum signal levels that can be connected to Channel 2.  
The ADE7760 contains an on-chip power supply monitor. The  
power supply (VDD) is continuously monitored by the ADE7760.  
If the supply is less than 4 V 5%, the ADE7760 goes into an  
inactive state, that is, no energy is accumulated and the CF, F1,  
and F2 outputs is disabled. This is useful to ensure correct  
device operation at power-up and during power-down. The  
power supply monitor has built-in hysteresis and filtering. This  
gives a high degree of immunity to false triggering due to noisy  
supplies.

The differential voltage V2P–V2N must be referenced to a  
common mode (usually AGND). The analog inputs of the  
ADE7760 can be driven with common-mode voltages of up to  
100 mV with respect to AGND. However, the best results are  
achieved using a common mode equal to AGND.

Figure 11 shows a typical connection diagram for Channel V1.  
The analog inputs are being used to monitor both the phase and  
neutral currents. Because of the large potential difference  
between the phase and neutral, two current transformers (CTs)  
must be used to provide the isolation. Note that both CTs are  
referenced to AGND (analog ground); the common-mode  
voltage is, therefore, 0 V. The CT turns ratio and burden resistor  
(RB) are selected to give a peak differential voltage of 660 mV.

Channel V1 (Current Channel)  
The voltage outputs from the current transducers are connected

However, at any one time, only one is selected to perform the  
power calculation (see the Fault Detection section).

A Σ-Δ modulator converts the input signal into a continuous  
serial stream of 1s and 0s at a rate determined by the sampling  
clock. In the ADE7760, the sampling clock is equal to CLKIN.  
The 1-bit DAC in the feedback loop is driven by the serial data  
stream. The DAC output is subtracted from the input signal. If  
the loop gain is high enough, the average value of the DAC  
output (and, therefore, the bit stream) approaches that of the  
input signal level. For any given input value in a single sampling  
interval, the data from the 1-bit ADC is virtually meaningless.  
Only when a large number of samples are averaged is a  
meaningful result obtained. This averaging is carried out in the  
second part of the ADC, the digital low-pass filter. By averaging  
a large number of bits from the modulator, the low-pass filter  
can produce 24-bit data words that are proportional to the input  
signal level.

INTERNAL OSCILLATOR  
The nominal internal oscillator frequency is 450 kHz when  
used with the recommended ROSC resistor value of 6.2 kΩ  
between RCLKIN and DGND (see Figure 13).  
The internal oscillator frequency is inversely proportional to the  
value of this resistor. Although the internal oscillator operates  
when used with a ROSC resistor value between 5 kΩ and 12 kΩ, it  
is recommended to choose a value within the range of the  
nominal value.  
The output frequencies on CF, F1, and F2 are directly  
The Σ-Δ converter uses two techniques to achieve high resolu-  
tion from what is essentially a 1-bit conversion technique. The  
first is oversampling, which means that the signal is sampled at  
a rate (frequency) that is many times higher than the bandwidth  
of interest. For example, the sampling rate in the ADE7760 is  
CLKIN (450 kHz) and the band of interest is 40 Hz to 1 kHz.  
Oversampling has the effect of spreading the quantization noise  
(noise due to sampling) over a wider bandwidth. With the noise  
spread more thinly over a wider bandwidth, the quantization  
noise in the band of interest is lowered (see Figure 15).  
proportional to the internal oscillator frequency; thus, the  
resistor ROSC must have a low tolerance and low temperature  
drift. A low tolerance resistor limits the variation of the internal  
oscillator frequency. Small variation of the clock frequency and  
consequently of the output frequencies from meter to meter  
contributes to a smaller calibration range of the meter. A low  
temperature drift resistor directly limits the variation of the  
internal clock frequency over temperature. The stability of the  
meter to external variation is then better ensured by design.  
ADE7760  
However, oversampling alone is not an efficient enough method  
to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the band of inter-  
est. For example, an oversampling ratio of 4 is required just to  
increase the SNR by only 6 dB (1 bit). To keep the oversampling  
ratio at a reasonable level, it is possible to shape the quantization  
noise so that the majority of the noise lies at the higher frequen-  
cies. This is what happens in the Σ-Δ modulator; the noise is  
shaped by the integrator, which has a high-pass type response  
for the quantization noise. The result is that most of the noise is  
at the higher frequencies where it can be removed by the digital  
low-pass filter. This noise shaping is also shown in Figure 15.

(for simplicity) Σ-Δ ADC. The converter is made up of two  
parts, the Σ-Δ modulator and the digital low-pass filter.

The ADCs digitize the voltage signals from the current and

The active power calculation is derived from the instantaneous  
power signal. The instantaneous power signal is generated by a  
direct multiplication of the current and voltage signals. To  
extract the active power component (dc component), the  
instantaneous power signal is low-pass filtered. Figure 17  
illustrates the instantaneous active power signal and shows how  
the active power information can be extracted by low-pass  
filtering the instantaneous power signal. This scheme correctly  
calculates active power for nonsinusoidal current and voltage  
waveforms at all power factors. All signal processing is carried  
out in the digital domain for superior stability over temperature  
and time.

Figure 15. Noise Reduction Due to Oversampling and

Antialias Filter  
Figure 15 also shows an analog low-pass filter (RC) on input to  
the modulator. This filter is present to prevent aliasing. Aliasing  
is an artifact of all sampled systems, which means that fre-  
quency components in the input signal to the ADC that are  
higher than half the sampling rate of the ADC appear in the  
sampled signal frequency below half the sampling rate.  
Figure 16 illustrates the effect.  
The low frequency output of the ADE7760 is generated by  
accumulating this active power information. This low frequency  
inherently means a long accumulation time between output  
pulses. The output frequency is, therefore, proportional to the  
average active power. This average active power information can  
in turn be accumulated (for example, by a counter) to generate  
active energy information. Because of its high output frequency  
and therefore shorter integration time, the CF output is propor-  
tional to the instantaneous active power. This is useful for  
system calibration purposes that would take place under steady  
load conditions.  
In Figure 16, frequency components (arrows shown in black)  
above half the sampling frequency (also known as the Nyquist  
frequency), that is, 225 kHz get imaged or folded back down  
below 225 kHz (arrows shown in gray). This happens with all  
ADCs no matter what the architecture. In the example shown, it  
can be seen that only frequencies near the sampling frequency  
(450 kHz) move into the band of interest for metering (40 Hz to  
1 kHz). This fact allows the use of a very simple low-pass filter  
to attenuate these frequencies (near 250 kHz) and thereby  
prevent distortion in the band of interest. A simple RC filter  
(single pole) with a corner frequency of 10 kHz produces an  
attenuation of approximately 33 dB at 450 kHz (see Figure 16).  
This is sufficient to eliminate the effects of aliasing.

Power Factor Considerations  
where:  
The method used to extract the active power information from  
the instantaneous power signal (by low-pass filtering) is still  
valid even when the voltage and current signals are not in  
phase. Figure 18 displays the unity power factor condition and  
a displacement power factor (DPF = 0.5), that is, current signal  
lagging the voltage by 60°. If one assumes the voltage and  
current waveforms are sinusoidal, the active power component  
of the instantaneous power signal (dc term) is given by  
i(t) is the instantaneous current.  
IO is the dc component.  
Ih is the rms value of current harmonic h.  
βh is the phase angle of the current harmonic.  
Using Equations 1 and 2, the active power P can be expressed in  
terms of its fundamental active power (P1) and harmonic active  
power (PH):  
(V × I/2) × cos(60°). This is the correct active power calculation.

As can be seen from Equation 4, a harmonic active power  
component is generated for every harmonic, provided that  
harmonic is present in both the voltage and current waveforms.  
The power factor calculation has previously been shown to be  
accurate in the case of a pure sinusoid; therefore, the harmonic  
active power must also correctly account for power factor,  
because it is made up of a series of pure sinusoids.

Note that the input bandwidth of the analog inputs is 7 kHz

Nonsinusoidal Voltage and Current  
The active power calculation method also holds true for  
nonsinusoidal current and voltage waveforms. All voltage and  
current waveforms in practical applications have some har-  
monic content. Using the Fourier transform, instantaneous  
voltage and current waveforms can be expressed in terms of  
their harmonic content:  
HPF and Offset Effects

calculation. Figure 19 shows the effect of offsets on the active  
power calculation in the frequency domain.

where:  
As can be seen from Equation 5 and Figure 19, an offset on  
Channel 1 and Channel 2 contributes a dc component after  
multiplication. Because this dc component is extracted by the  
LPF and used to generate the active power information, the  
offsets contribute a constant error to the active power calcula-  
tion. This problem is easily avoided in the ADE7760 with the  
HPF in Channel 1. By removing the offset from at least one  
channel, no error component can be generated at dc by the  
multiplication. Error terms at cos(ωt) are removed by the LPF  
and the digital-to-frequency conversion (see the Digital-to-  
Frequency Conversion section).

ADE7760  
The HPF in Channel 1 has an associated phase response that is  
compensated for on-chip. Figure 20 and Figure 21 show the  
phase error between channels with the compensation network  
activated. The ADE7760 is phase compensated up to 1 kHz as  
shown, which ensures correct active harmonic power  
calculation even at low power factors.  
DIGITAL-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERSION  
As previously described, the digital output of the low-pass filter  
after multiplication contains the active power information.  
However, because this LPF is not an ideal “brick wall” filter  
implementation, the output signal also contains attenuated  
components at the line frequency and its harmonics, that is,  
cos(hωt), where h = 1, 2, 3, ..., and so on. The magnitude  
response of the filter is given by

For a line frequency of 50 Hz, this gives an attenuation of the 2ω

ing harmonic is at twice the line frequency, that is, cos(2ωt), due  
to the instantaneous power signal.

Figure 22 shows the instantaneous active power signal output of  
the LPF, which still contains a significant amount of instantane-  
ous power information, cos(2ωt). This signal is then passed to  
the digital-to-frequency converter, where it is integrated  
(accumulated) over time to produce an output frequency. This  
accumulation of the signal suppresses or averages out any non-  
dc components in the instantaneous active power signal. The  
average value of a sinusoidal signal is zero. Therefore, the  
frequency generated by the ADE7760 is proportional to the  
average active power.

Figure 22 also shows the digital-to-frequency conversion for  
steady load conditions: constant voltage and current. As can be  
seen in Figure 22, the frequency output CF varies over time,  
even under steady load conditions. This frequency variation is  
primarily due to the cos(2ωt) component in the instantaneous  
active power signal.

Table 5. F1–4 Frequency Solution  
The output frequency on CF can be up to 2048 times higher  
than the frequency on F1 and F2. This higher output frequency  
is generated by accumulating the instantaneous active power  
signal over a much shorter time while converting it to a  
frequency. This shorter accumulation period means less  
averaging of the cos(2ωt) component. As a consequence, some  
of this instantaneous power signal passes through the digital-to-  
frequency conversion. This is not a problem in the application.  
Where CF is used for calibration purposes, the frequency  
should be averaged by the frequency counter, which removes  
any ripple. If CF is being used to measure energy, such as in a  
microprocessor-based application, the CF output should also be  
averaged to calculate power. Because the outputs F1 and F2  
operate at a much lower frequency, a lot more averaging of the  
instantaneous active power signal is carried out. The result is a  
greatly attenuated sinusoidal content and a virtually ripple-free  
frequency output.

Frequency Output CF  
The pulse output calibration frequency (CF) is intended for use  
during calibration. The output pulse rate on CF can be up to  
2048 times the pulse rate on F1 and F2. The lower the F1–4  
frequency selected, the higher the CF scaling. Table 6 shows  
how the two frequencies are related, depending on the states of  
the logic inputs S0, S1, and SCF. Because of its relatively high  
pulse rate, the frequency at this logic output is proportional to  
the instantaneous active power. As with F1 and F2, the fre-  
quency is derived from the output of the low-pass filter after  
multiplication. However, because the output frequency is high,  
this active power information is accumulated over a much  
shorter time. Therefore, less averaging is carried out in the  
digital-to-frequency conversion. With much less averaging of  
the active power signal, the CF output is much more responsive  
to power fluctuations (see Figure 17).  
TRANSFER FUNCTION  
Frequency Outputs F1 and F2  
The ADE7760 calculates the product of two voltage signals (on  
Channel 1 and Channel 2) and then low-pass filters this product  
to extract active power information. This active power  
information is then converted to a frequency. The frequency  
information is output on F1 and F2 in the form of active high  
pulses. The pulse rate at these outputs is relatively low, for  
example, 0.34 Hz maximum for ac signals with S0 = S1 = 0  
(see Table 7). This means that the frequency at these outputs is  
generated from active power information accumulated over a  
relatively long period of time. The result is an output frequency  
that is proportional to the average active power. The averaging  
of the active power signal is implicit to the digital-to-frequency  
conversion. The output frequency or pulse rate is related to the  
input voltage signals by the following equation:

Fault with Active Input Greater than Inactive Input  
Note that if the on-chip reference is used, actual output  
frequencies may vary from device to device due to reference  
tolerance of 8%.  
If V1A is the active current input (that is, is being used for  
billing), and the voltage signal on V1B (inactive input) falls below  
93.75% of V1A, the fault indicator becomes active. Both analog  
inputs are filtered and averaged to prevent false triggering of  
this logic output. As a consequence of the filtering, there is a  
time delay of approximately 3 s on the logic output FAULT after  
the fault event. The FAULT logic output is independent of any  
activity on outputs F1 or F2. Figure 23 shows one condition  
under which FAULT becomes active. Because V1A is the active  
input and it is still greater than V1B, billing is maintained on V1A,  
that is, no swap to the V1B input occurs. V1A remains the active  
input.

FAULT DETECTION  
Fault with Inactive Input Greater than Active Input  
The ADE7760 incorporates a novel fault detection scheme that  
warns of fault conditions and allows the ADE7760 to continue  
accurate billing during a fault event. The ADE7760 does this by  
continuously monitoring both the phase and neutral (return)  
currents. A fault is indicated when these currents differ by more  
than 6.25%. However, even during a fault, the output pulse rate  
on F1 and F2 is generated using the larger of the two currents.  
Because the ADE7760 looks for a difference between the voltage  
signals on V1A and V1B, it is important that both current  
transducers be closely matched.  
Figure 24 illustrates another fault condition. If the difference  
between V1B, the inactive input, and V1A, the active input (used  
for billing), becomes greater than 6.25% of V1B, the FAULT  
indicator goes active, and there is also a swap over to the V1B  
input. The analog input V1B becomes the active input. Again,  
there is a time constant of about 3 s associated with this swap.  
V1A does not swap back to being the active channel until V1A is  
greater than V1B and the difference between V1A and V1B—in this  
order—becomes greater than 6.25% of V1A. The FAULT  
indicator, however, becomes inactive as soon as V1A is within  
6.25% of V1B. This threshold eliminates potential chatter  
between V1A and V1B.  
On power-up, the output pulse rate of the ADE7760 is pro-  
portional to the product of the voltage signals on V1A and  
Channel 2. If there is a difference of greater than 6.25% between

ADE7760 selects V1B as the input. The fault detection is  
automatically disabled when the voltage signal on Channel 1 is  
less than 0.3% of the full-scale input range. This eliminates false  
detection of a fault due to noise at light loads.

Calibration Concerns  
If the neutral circuit is chosen for the current circuit in the  
arrangement shown in Figure 25, this may have implications for  
the calibration accuracy. The ADE7760 powers up with the V1A  
input active as normal. However, because there is no current in  
the phase circuit, the signal on V1A is zero. This causes a fault to  
be flagged and the active input to be swapped to V1B (neutral).  
The meter can be calibrated in this mode, but the phase and  
neutral CTs might differ slightly. Because under no-fault condi-  
tions all billing is carried out using the phase CT, the meter  
should be calibrated using the phase circuit. Of course, both  
phase and neutral circuits can be calibrated.  
Typically, when a meter is being calibrated, the voltage and  
current circuits are separated as shown in Figure 25. This means  
that current passes through only the phase or neutral circuit.  
Figure 25 shows current being passed through the phase circuit.  
This is the preferred option, because the ADE7760 starts billing  
on the input V1A on power-up. The phase circuit CT is con-  
nected to V1A in the diagram. Because there is no current in the  
neutral circuit, the FAULT indicator comes on under these  
conditions. However, this does not affect the accuracy of the  
calibration and can be used as a means to test the functionality  
of the fault detection.

APPLICATIONS  
For the purpose of calibration, this integration time could be  
INTERFACING TO A MICROCONTROLLER FOR  
ENERGY MEASUREMENT  
10 s to 20 s in order to accumulate enough pulses to ensure  
correct averaging of the frequency. In normal operation, the  
integration time could be reduced to 1 s or 2 s depending, for  
example, on the required update rate of a display. With shorter  
integration times on the MCU, the amount of energy in each  
update might still have a small amount of ripple, even under  
steady load conditions. However, over a minute or more, the  
measured energy has no ripple.  
The easiest way to interface the ADE7760 to a microcontroller  
is to use the CF high frequency output with the output fre-  
quency scaling set to 2048 × F1, F2. This is done by setting  
SCF = 0 and S0 = S1 = 1 (see Table 7). With full-scale ac signals  
on the analog inputs, the output frequency on CF is approxi-  
mately 5.5 kHz. Figure 26 illustrates one scheme that could be  
used to digitize the output frequency and carry out the  
necessary averaging mentioned in the previous section.

As shown in Table 5, the user can select one of four frequencies.  
This frequency selection determines the maximum frequency  
on F1 and F2. These outputs are intended to be used to drive the  
energy register (electromechanical or other). Because only four  
different output frequencies can be selected, the available  
frequency selection has been optimized for a meter constant of  
100 impulses/kWh with a maximum current of between 10 A  
and 120 A. Table 8 shows the output frequency for several  
maximum currents (IMAX) with a line voltage of 240 V. In all  
cases, the meter constant is 100 impulses/kWh.

Figure 26. Interfacing the ADE7760 to an MCU  
As shown, the frequency output CF is connected to an MCU  
counter or port, which counts the number of pulses in a given  
integration time, determined by an MCU internal timer. The  
average power, proportional to the average frequency, is given  
by  
The F1–4 frequencies allow complete coverage of this range of  
output frequencies on F1 and F2. When designing an energy  
meter the nominal design voltage on Channel 2 (voltage)  
should be set to half-scale to allow for calibration of the meter  
constant. The current channel should also be no more than half-  
scale when the meter sees maximum load. This accommodates  
overcurrent signals and signals with high crest factors. Table 9  
shows the output frequency on F1 and F2 when both analog  
inputs are half-scale. The frequencies listed in Table 9 align well  
with those listed in Table 8 for maximum load.

The ADE7760 also includes a no-load threshold and startup  
current feature that eliminates any creep effects in the  
meter. The ADE7760 is designed to issue a minimum output  
frequency. Any load generating a frequency lower than this  
minimum frequency does not cause a pulse to be issued on F1,  
F2, or CF. The minimum output frequency is given as 0.0045%  
of the full-scale output frequency. (See Table 7 for maximum  
output frequencies for ac signals.)

When selecting a suitable F1–4 frequency for a meter design, the  
frequency output at IMAX (maximum load) with a meter constant  
of 100 impulses /kWh should be compared with Column 4 of  
Table 9. The frequency that is closest in Table 9 determines the  
best choice of frequency (F1–4). For example, if a meter with a  
maximum current of 40 A is being designed, the output  
frequency on F1 and F2 with a meter constant of  
100 impulses /kWh is 0.266 Hz at 40 A and 240 V (from  
Table 8). Looking at Table 9, the closest frequency to 0.266 Hz  
in Column 4 is 0.17 Hz. Therefore, F2 (3.4 Hz; see Table 5) is  
selected for this design.  
For example, an energy meter with a meter constant of  
100 impulses /kWh on F1, F2 using SCF = 1, S1 = 0, and S0 = 1,  
the maximum output frequency at F1 or F2 would be 0.68 Hz  
and 43.52 Hz on CF. The minimum output frequency at F1 or  
F2 would be 0.0045% of 0.68 Hz or 3.06 × 10–5 Hz. This would  
be 1.96 × 10–3 Hz at CF (64 × F1 Hz). In this example, the no-  
load threshold would be equivalent to 1.1 W of load or a startup  
current of 4.6 mA at 240 V. Compare this value to the IEC61036  
specification, which states that the meter must start up with a  
load equal to or less than 0.4% IB. For a 5 A (IB) meter, 0.4% of IB  
is equivalent to 20 mA.  
Frequency Outputs  
Figure 2 shows a timing diagram for the various frequency  
outputs. The high frequency CF output is intended to be used  
for communications and calibration purposes. CF produces a  
90 ms wide, active high pulse (t4) at a frequency that is propor-  
tional to active power. The CF output frequencies are given in  
Table 7. As in the case of F1 and F2, if the period of CF (t5) falls  
below 180 ms, the CF pulse width is set to half the period. For  
example, if the CF frequency is 20 Hz, the CF pulse width is  
25 ms.  
Note that the no-load threshold is not enabled when using the  
high CF frequency mode: SCF = 0, S1 = S0 = 1.  
NEGATIVE POWER INFORMATION  
The ADE7760 detects when the current and voltage channels  
have a phase shift greater than 90°. This mechanism can detect  
wrong connection of the meter or generation of negative power.  
The REVP pin output goes active high when negative power is  
detected and active low, when positive power is detected. The  
REVP pin output changes state as a pulse is issued on CF.
