Highly accurate; supports EN 50470-1, EN 50470-3,  
IEC 62053-21, IEC 62053-22, and IEC 62053-23 standards  
Compatible with 3-phase, 3- or 4-wire (delta or wye), and  
other 3-phase services  
Supplies total (fundamental and harmonic) active, reactive  
(ADE7878, ADE7868, and ADE7858 only), and apparent  
energy, and fundamental active/reactive energy (ADE7878  
only) on each phase and on the overall system  
Less than 0.1% error in active and reactive energy over a  
dynamic range of 1000 to 1 at TA = 25°C  
Less than 0.2% error in active and reactive energy over a  
dynamic range of 3000 to 1 at TA = 25°C  
Supports current transformer and di/dt current sensors  
Dedicated ADC channel for neutral current input (ADE7868 and  
ADE7878 only)  
lations, as well as fundamental-only active and reactive energy  
measurement (ADE7878) and rms calculations. A fixed function  
digital signal processor (DSP) executes this signal processing.  
The DSP program is stored in the internal ROM memory.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are suitable for  
measuring active, reactive, and apparent energy in various 3-phase  
configurations, such as wye or delta services, with both three  
and four wires. The ADE78xx devices provide system calibration  
features for each phase, that is, rms offset correction, phase  
calibration, and gain calibration. The CF1, CF2, and CF3 logic  
outputs provide a wide choice of power information: total active,  
reactive, and apparent powers, or the sum of the current rms  
values, and fundamental active and reactive powers.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain wave-  
form sample registers that allow access to all ADC outputs. The  
devices also incorporate power quality measurements, such as  
short duration low or high voltage detections, short duration  
high current variations, line voltage period measurement, and  
angles between phase voltages and currents. Two serial interfaces,  
SPI and I2C, can be used to communicate with the ADE78xx. A  
dedicated high speed interface, the high speed data capture  
(HSDC) port, can be used in conjunction with I2C to provide  
access to the ADC outputs and real-time power information.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 also have two  
Less than 0.1% error in voltage and current rms over a  
dynamic range of 1000 to 1 at TA = 25°C  
Supplies sampled waveform data on all three phases and on  
neutral current  
Selectable no load threshold levels for total and  
fundamental active and reactive powers, as well as for  
apparent powers  
Low power battery mode monitors phase currents for

specially designed low power modes ensure the continuity of  
energy accumulation when the ADE7868/ADE7878 is in a tam-  
pering situation. See Table 1 for a quick reference chart listing  
each part and its functions. The ADE78xx are available in the

TERMINOLOGY  
Measurement Error  
Gain Error  
The error associated with the energy measurement made by the  
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is defined by  
The gain error in the ADCs of the ADE7854/ADE7858/  
ADE7868/ADE7878 is defined as the difference between the  
measured ADC output code (minus the offset) and the ideal  
output code (see the Current Channel ADC section and the  
Voltage Channel ADC section). The difference is expressed as a  
percentage of the ideal code.

Power Supply Rejection (PSR)  
CF Jitter  
This quantifies the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
measurement error as a percentage of reading when the power  
supplies are varied. For the ac PSR measurement, a reading at  
nominal supplies (3.3 V) is taken. A second reading is obtained  
with the same input signal levels when an ac signal (120 mV rms  
at twice the fundamental frequency) is introduced onto the  
supplies. Any error introduced by this ac signal is expressed as a  
percentage of reading—see the Measurement Error definition.  
The period of pulses at one of the CF1, CF2, or CF3 pins is  
continuously measured. The maximum, minimum, and average  
values of four consecutive pulses are computed as follows:  
Maximum = max(Period0, Period1, Period2, Period3)  
Minimum = min(Period0, Period1, Period2, Period3)  
Period0 + Period1 + Period2 + Period3  
Average =  
4
For the dc PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies  
(3.3 V) is taken. A second reading is obtained with the same  
input signal levels when the power supplies are varied 10%.  
Any error introduced is expressed as a percentage of the  
reading.  
The CF jitter is then computed as

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  
ADC Offset Error  
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to  
the rms sum of all other spectral components below 2 kHz,  
excluding harmonics and dc. The input signal contains only  
the fundamental component. The spectral components are  
calculated over a 2 sec window. The value for SNR is expressed  
in decibels.  
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 gain and input range selection  
However, the HPF removes the offset from the current and voltage  
channels and the power calculation remains unaffected by this  
offset.  
Signal-to-(Noise and Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)  
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal  
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below 2 kHz,  
including harmonics but excluding dc. The input signal  
contains only the fundamental component. The spectral  
components are calculated over a 2 sec window. The value  
for SINAD is expressed in decibels.

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
POWER MANAGEMENT  
The ADE7868/ADE7878 have four modes of operation, deter-  
mined by the state of the PM0 and PM1 pins (see Table 9). The  
ADE7854/ADE7858 have two modes of operation. These pins  
provide complete control of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/  
ADE7878 operation and can easily be connected to an external  
microprocessor I/O. The PM0 and PM1 pins have internal pull-  
up resistors. See Table 11 and Table 12 for a list of actions that are  
recommended before and after setting a new power mode.  
In summary, in this mode, it is not recommended to access any  
register other than AIMAV, BIMAV, and CIMAV. The circuit  
that measures these estimates of rms values is also active during  
PSM0; therefore, its calibration can be completed in either PSM0  
mode or in PSM1 mode. Note that the ADE7868 and ADE7878  
do not provide any register to store or process the corrections  
resulting from the calibration process. The external microprocessor  
stores the gain values in connection with these measurements  
and uses them during PSM1 (see the Current Mean Absolute  
Value Calculation—ADE7868 and ADE7878 Only section for  
more details on the xIMAV registers).

The 20-bit mean absolute value measurements done in PSM1,  
although available also in PSM0, are different from the rms  
measurements of phase currents and voltages executed only in  
PSM0 and stored in the xIRMS and xVRMS 24-bit registers.  
See the Current Mean Absolute Value Calculation—ADE7868  
and ADE7878 Only section for details.

PSM0—NORMAL POWER MODE (ALL PARTS)  
In PSM0 mode, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
are fully functional. The PM0 pin is set to high and the PM1 pin  
is set to low for the ADE78xx to enter this mode. If the ADE78xx  
is in one of PSM1, PSM2, or PSM3 modes and is switched into  
PSM0 mode, then all control registers take the default values with  
the exception of the threshold register, LPOILVL, which is used  
in PSM2 mode, and the CONFIG2 register, both of which  
maintain their values.  
If the ADE7868/ADE7878 is set in PSM1 mode while still in the  
PSM0 mode, the ADE7868/ADE7878 immediately begin the  
mean absolute value calculations without any delay. The xIMAV  
registers are accessible at any time; however, if the ADE7878 or  
ADE7868 is set in PSM1 mode while still in PSM2 or PSM3  
modes, the ADE7868/ADE7878 signal the start of the mean

The xIMAV registers can be accessed only after this moment.

PSM1—REDUCED POWER MODE (ADE7868,

The reduced power mode, PSM1, is available on the ADE7868  
and ADE7878 only. In this mode, the ADE7868/ADE7878  
measure the mean absolute values (mav) of the 3-phase currents  
and store the results in the AIMAV, BIMAV, and CIMAV 20-bit  
registers. This mode is useful in missing neutral cases in which  
the voltage supply of the ADE7868 or ADE7878 is provided by an  
external battery. The serial ports, I2C or SPI, are enabled in this  
mode; the active port can be used to read the AIMAV, BIMAV,  
and CIMAV registers. It is not recommended to read any of the  
other registers because their values are not guaranteed in this  
mode. Similarly, a write operation is not taken into account by  
the ADE7868/ADE7878 in this mode.

Data Sheet  
The threshold is derived from Bits[2:0] (LPOIL[2:0]) of the  
LPOILVL register as LPOIL[2:0]/8 of full scale. Every time  
one phase current becomes greater than the threshold, a  
counter is incremented. If every phase counter remains below  
LPLINE[4:0] + 1 at the end of the measurement period, then  
The PSM2 level threshold comparison works based on a peak  
detection methodology. The peak detect circuit makes the  
comparison based on the positive terminal current channel  
input, IAP, IBP, and ICP (see Figure 25). In case of differential  
inputs being applied to the current channels, Figure 25 shows  
the differential antiphase signals at each of the current input  
terminals, IxP and IxN, and the net differential current, IxP – IxN.  
The I2C or SPI port is not functional during this mode. The PSM2  
mode reduces the power consumption required to monitor the  
currents when there is no voltage input and the voltage supply  
of the ADE7868/ADE7878 is provided by an external battery. If

how the ADE7868/ADE7878 behave in PSM2 mode when  
LPLINE[4:0] = 2 and LPOIL[2:0] = 3. The test period is three  
50 Hz cycles (60 ms), and the Phase A current rises above the  
LPOIL[2:0] threshold three times. At the end of the test period,

present at the ADE7868/ADE7878 pins. This situation is often  
called missing neutral and is considered a tampering situation,  
at which point the external microprocessor sets the ADE7868/  
ADE7878into PSM1 mode, measures the mean absolute values  
of phase currents, and integrates the energy based on their values  
and the nominal voltage.

Figure 26. Power-Up Procedure  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain an on-  
chip power supply monitor that supervises the power supply  
(VDD). At power-up, the device is inactive until VDD reaches  
2 V 10%. When VDD crosses this threshold, the power supply  
monitor keeps the device in the inactive state for an additional  
26 ms to allow VDD to rise to 3.3 V − 10%, the minimum  
recommended supply voltage.  
Immediately after entering PSM0 mode, all registers in the  
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are set to their default  
values, including the CONFIG2 and LPOILVL registers.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 signal the end of  
IRQ1  
the transition period by pulling the  
interrupt pin low and  
setting Bit 15 (RSTDONE) in the STATUS1 register to 1. This  
bit is cleared to 0 during the transition period and is set to 1  
when the transition ends. Writing the STATUS1 register with  
the RSTDONE bit set to 1 clears the status bit and returns the  
The PM0 and PM1 pins have internal pull-up resistors, but it is  
necessary to set the PM1 pin to Logic 0 either through a  
microcontroller or by grounding the PM1 pin externally, before  
powering up the chip. The PM0 pin can remain open as it is  
held high, due to the internal pull-up resistor. This ensures that  
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 always power up in  
PSM0 (normal) mode. The time taken from the chip being  
powered up completely to the state where all functionality is  
enabled, is about 40 ms (see Figure 26). It is necessary to ensure

pin high. Because RSTDONE is an unmaskable interrupt,  
Bit 15 (RSTDONE) in the STATUS1 register must be cancelled

for the  
pin to return high. Wait until the  
pin goes low  
before accessing the STATUS1 register to test the state of the

Initially, the DSP is in idle mode and, therefore, does not

If PSM0 mode is the only desired power mode, the PM1 pin can

If SPI is the active serial port, any write to the CONFIG2 register

THEORY OF OPERATION  
Figure 29 shows how the gain selection from the gain register  
works in both current and voltage channels.  
ANALOG INPUTS  
The ADE7868/ADE7878 have seven analog inputs forming  
current and voltage channels. The ADE7854/ADE7858 have six  
analog inputs, not offering the neutral current. The current  
channels consist of four pairs of fully differential voltage inputs:  
IAP and IAN, IBP and IBN, ICP and ICN, and INP and INN.  
These vol-tage input pairs have a maximum differential signal of  
0.5 V. In addition, the maximum signal level on analog inputs  
for the IxP/IxN pair is 0.5 V with respect to AGND. The  
maximum common-mode signal allowed on the inputs is 25 mV.  
Figure 27 presents a schematic of the input for the current  
channels and their relation to the maximum common-mode  
voltage.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION  
The ADE7868/ADE7878 have seven sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-  
to-digital converters (ADCs), and the ADE7854/ADE7858 have  
six Σ-Δ ADCs. In PSM0 mode, all ADCs are active. In PSM1  
mode, only the ADCs that measure the Phase A, Phase B, and  
Phase C currents are active. The ADCs that measure the neutral  
current and the A, B, and C phase voltages are turned off. In

For simplicity, the block diagram in Figure 30 shows a first-  
order Σ-Δ ADC. The converter is composed of the Σ-Δ modulator  
and the digital low-pass filter.  
Figure 27. Maximum Input Level, Current Channels, Gain = 1  
All inputs have a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with a  
possible gain selection of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. The gain of IA, IB, and  
IC inputs is set in Bits[2:0] (PGA1[2:0]) of the gain register. For  
the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only, the gain of the IN input is set  
in Bits[5:3] (PGA2[2:0]) of the gain register; thus, a different gain  
from the IA, IB, or IC inputs is possible. See Table 44 for details  
on the gain register.

The voltage channel has three single-ended voltage inputs: VAP,  
VBP, and VCP. These single-ended voltage inputs have a maximum  
input voltage of 0.5 V with respect to VN. In addition, the max-  
imum signal level on analog inputs for VxP and VN is 0.5 V  
with respect to AGND. The maximum common-mode signal  
allowed on the inputs is 25 mV. Figure 28 presents a schematic  
of the voltage channels inputs and their relation to the maximum  
common-mode voltage.  
Figure 30. First-Order Σ-∆ ADC  
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 ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, the  
sampling clock is equal to 1.024 MHz (CLKIN/16). 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) can approach 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.

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. Oversampling means that the signal is  
sampled at a rate (frequency) that is many times higher than

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
the bandwidth of interest. For example, the sampling rate in  
the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is 1.024 MHz,  
and the bandwidth of interest is 40 Hz to 2 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, as shown in Figure 31. However, oversam-  
pling alone is not efficient enough to improve the signal-to-noise  
ratio (SNR) in the band of interest. For example, an oversampling  
factor of 4 is required just to increase the SNR by a mere 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 frequencies. In the Σ-Δ modulator,  
the noise is shaped by the integrator, which has a high-pass-type  
response for the quantization noise. This is the second technique  
used to achieve high resolution. 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 shown in Figure 31.  
and prevent the distortion of the band of interest, a low-pass  
filer (LPF) must be introduced. For conventional current  
sensors, it is recommended to use one RC filter with a corner  
frequency of 5 kHz for the attenuation to be sufficiently high at  
the sampling frequency of 1.024 MHz. The 20 dB per decade  
attenuation of this filter is usually sufficient to eliminate the  
effects of aliasing for conventional current sensors. However, for a  
di/dt sensor such as a Rogowski coil, the sensor has a 20 dB per  
decade gain. This neutralizes the 20 dB per decade attenuation  
produced by the LPF. Therefore, when using a di/dt sensor, take  
care to offset the 20 dB per decade gain. One simple approach is  
to cascade one additional RC filter, thereby producing a −40 dB  
per decade attenuation.

All ADCs in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are  
designed to produce the same 24-bit signed output code for the  
same input signal level. With a full-scale input signal of 0.5 V  
and an internal reference of 1.2 V, the ADC output code is nomi-  
nally 5,928,256 (0x5A7540). The code from the ADC can vary  
between 0x800000 (−8,388,608) and 0x7FFFFF (+8,388,607);  
this is equivalent to an input signal level of 0.707 V. How e v e r,  
for specified performance, do not exceed the nominal range of  
0.5 V; ADC performance is guaranteed only for input signals  
lower than 0.5 V.

Figure 33 shows the ADC and signal processing path for  
Input IA of the current channels (it is the same for IB and IC).  
The ADC outputs are signed twos complement 24-bit data-  
words and are available at a rate of 8 kSPS (thousand samples  
per second). With the specified full-scale analog input signal  
of 0.5 V, the ADC produces its maximum output code value.  
Figure 33 shows a full-scale voltage signal applied to the differ-  
ential inputs (IAP and IAN). The ADC output swings between  
−5,928,256 (0xA58AC0) and +5,928,256 (0x5A7540). The  
input, IN, corresponds to the neutral current of a 3-phase  
system (available in the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only). If no  
neutral line is present, connect this input to AGND. The  
datapath of the neutral current is similar to the path of the  
phase currents as shown in Figure 34.  
Figure 30 also shows an analog low-pass filter (RC) on the input  
to the ADC. This filter is placed outside the ADE7854/ADE7858/  
ADE7868/ADE7878, and its role is to prevent aliasing. Aliasing  
is an artifact of all sampled systems as shown in Figure 32. Aliasing  
means that frequency components in the input signal to the  
ADC, which are higher than half the sampling rate of the ADC,  
appear in the sampled signal at a frequency below half the  
sampling rate. Frequency components above half the sampling  
frequency (also known as the Nyquist frequency, that is, 512 kHz)  
are imaged or folded back down below 512 kHz. This happens  
with all ADCs regardless of the architecture. In the example shown,  
only frequencies near the sampling frequency, that is, 1.024 MHz,  
move into the band of interest for metering, that is, 40 Hz to  
2 kHz. To attenuate the high frequency (near 1.024 MHz) noise

Current Waveform Gain Registers  
There is a multiplier in the signal path of each phase and  
neutral current. The current waveform can be changed by  
100% by writing a corresponding twos complement number  
to the 24-bit signed current waveform gain registers (AIGAIN,  
BIGAIN, CIGAIN, and NIGAIN). For example, if 0x400000 is  
written to those registers, the ADC output is scaled up by 50%.  
To scale the input by −50%, write 0xC00000 to the registers.  
Equation 3 describes mathematically the function of the current  
waveform gain registers.

The ADC outputs can contain a dc offset. This offset can create  
errors in power and rms calculations. High-pass filters (HPFs)  
are placed in the signal path of the phase and neutral currents  
and of the phase voltages. If enabled, the HPF eliminates any dc  
offset on the current channel. All filters are implemented in the  
DSP and, by default, they are all enabled: the 24-bit HPFDIS  
register is cleared to 0x00000000. All filters are disabled by  
setting HPFDIS to any nonzero value.

Changing the content of the AIGAIN, BIGAIN, CIGAIN, or

that is, it affects the corresponding phase active/reactive/

waveform samples scale accordingly.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.  
The HPFDIS register is accessed as a 32-bit register with eight

Current Channel Sampling  
loop generate an electromotive force (EMF) between the two  
ends of the loop. The EMF is a voltage signal that is propor-  
tional to the di/dt of the current. The voltage output from the  
di/dt current sensor is determined by the mutual inductance  
between the current carrying conductor and the di/dt sensor.  
The waveform samples of the current channel are taken at the  
output of HPF and stored in the 24-bit signed registers, IAW V,  
I BW V, ICWV, and INWV (ADE7868 and ADE7878 only) at a  
rate of 8 kSPS. All power and rms calculations remain uninter-  
rupted during this process. Bit 17 (DREADY) in the STATUS0  
register is set when the IAWV, IBWV, ICWV, and INWV registers  
are available to be read using the I2C or SPI serial port. Setting  
Bit 17 (DREADY) in the MASK0 register enables an interrupt  
to be set when the DREADY flag is set. See the Digital Signal  
Processor section for more details on Bit DREADY.  
Due to the di/dt sensor, the current signal needs to be filtered  
before it can be used for power measurement. On each phase and  
neutral current datapath, there is a built-in digital integrator to  
recover the current signal from the di/dt sensor. The digital inte-  
grator is disabled by default when the ADE78xx is powered up  
and after a reset. Setting Bit 0 (INTEN) of the CONFIG register  
turns on the integrator. Figure 39 and Figure 40 show the  
magnitude and phase response of the digital integrator.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.  
When the IAW V, I BW V, IC W V, and INWV 24-bit signed  
registers are read from the ADE78xx (INWV is available on  
ADE7868/ADE7878 only), they are transmitted sign extended  
to 32 bits. See Figure 37 for details.  
Note that the integrator has a −20 dB/dec attenuation and  
approximately −90° phase shift. When combined with a di/dt  
sensor, the resulting magnitude and phase response should be a  
flat gain over the frequency band of interest. However, the di/dt  
sensor has a 20 dB/dec gain associated with it and generates sig-  
nificant high frequency noise. An antialiasing filter of at least  
the second order is needed to avoid noise aliasing back in the  
band of interest when the ADC is sampling (see the Antialiasing  
Filter section).

Voltage Waveform Gain Registers  
CHANGING PHASE VOLTAGE DATAPATH  
There is a multiplier in the signal path of each phase voltage.  
The voltage waveform can be changed by 100% by writing  
a corresponding twos complement number to the 24-bit signed  
voltage waveform gain registers (AVGAIN, BVGAIN, and  
CVGAIN). For example, if 0x400000 is written to those registers,  
the ADC output is scaled up by 50%. To scale the input by −50%,  
write 0xC00000 to the registers. Equation 4 describes mathe-  
matically the function of the current waveform gain registers.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can direct one  
phase voltage input to the computational datapath of another  
phase. For example, Phase A voltage can be introduced in the  
Phase B computational datapath, which means all powers  
computed by the ADE78xx in Phase B are based on Phase A  
voltage and Phase B current.  
Bits[9:8] (VTOIA[1:0]) of the CONFIG register manage what  
phase voltage is directed to Phase A computational data path. If  
VTOIA[1:0] = 00 (default value), the Phase A voltage is directed  
to the Phase A computational data path. If VTOIA[1:0] = 01,  
the Phase B voltage is directed to the Phase A computational  
data path. If VTOIA[1:0] = 10, the Phase C voltage is directed  
to the Phase A computational data path. If VTOIA[1:0] = 11,  
the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 behaves as if  
VTOIA[1:0] = 00.

Changing the content of the AVGAIN, BVGAIN, and CVGAIN  
registers affects all calculations based on its voltage; that is, it  
affects the corresponding phase active/reactive/apparent energy  
and voltage rms calculation. In addition, waveform samples are  
scaled accordingly.  
Bits[11:10] (VTOIB[1:0]) of the CONFIG register manage  
what phase voltage is directed to the Phase B computational  
data path. If VTOIB[1:0] = 00 (default value), the Phase B  
voltage is directed to the Phase B computational data path.  
If VTOIB[1:0] = 01, the Phase C voltage is directed to the  
Phase B computational data path. If VTOIB[1:0] = 10, the Phase A  
voltage is directed to the Phase B computational data path. If  
VTOIB[1:0] = 11, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
behaves as if VTOIB[1:0] = 00.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words,  
and the DSP works on 28 bits. As presented in Figure 35, the  
AVGAIN, BVGAIN, and CVGAIN registers are accessed as  
32-bit registers with four MSBs padded with 0s and sign  
extended to 28 bits.  
Voltage Channel HPF  
As explained in the Current Channel HPF section, the ADC  
outputs can contain a dc offset that can create errors in power  
and rms calculations. HPFs are placed in the signal path of the  
phase voltages, similar to the ones in the current channels. The  
HPFDIS register can enable or disable the filters. See the  
Current Channel HPF section for more details.  
Bits[13:12] (VTOIC[1:0]) of the CONFIG register manage what  
phase voltage is directed to the Phase C computational data  
path. If VTOIC[1:0] = 00 (default value), the Phase C voltage is  
directed to Phase C computational data path, if VTOIC[1:0] =  
01, the Phase A voltage is directed to the Phase C computational  
data path. If VTOIC[1:0] = 10, the Phase B voltage is directed to  
the Phase C computational data path. If VTOIC[1:0] = 11, the  
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 behaves as if  
VTOIC[1:0] = 00.  
Voltage Channel Sampling  
The waveform samples of the voltage channel are taken at the  
output of HPF and stored into VAWV, VBWV, and VCWV  
24-bit signed registers at a rate of 8 kSPS. All power and rms  
calculations remain uninterrupted during this process. Bit 17  
(DREADY) in the STATUS0 register is set when the VAW V,  
VBWV, and VCWV registers are available to be read using the  
I2C or SPI serial port. Setting Bit 17 (DREADY) in the MASK0  
register enables an interrupt to be set when the DREADY flag is  
set. See the Digital Signal Processor section for more details on  
Bit DREADY.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.  
Similar to registers presented in Figure 37, the VAWV, VBWV,  
and VCWV 24-bit signed registers are transmitted sign  
extended to 32 bits.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 each contain an  
HSDC port especially designed to provide fast access to the  
waveform sample registers. See the HSDC Interface section for  
more details.

To provide further protection from noise, input signals to the  
voltage channel with amplitude lower than 10% of full scale do  
not generate zero-crossing events at all. The Current Channel ZX  
detection circuit is active for all input signals independent of their  
amplitudes.

Figure 42 presents the case in which Phase A voltage is used in  
the Phase B datapath, Phase B voltage is used in the Phase C  
datapath, and Phase C voltage is used in the Phase A datapath.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain six zero-  
crossing detection circuits, one for each phase voltage and  
current channel. Each circuit drives one flag in the STATUS1  
register. If a circuit placed in the Phase A voltage channel  
detects one zero-crossing event, Bit 9 (ZXVA) in the STATUS1  
register is set to 1.  
POWER QUALITY MEASUREMENTS  
Zero-Crossing Detection  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have a zero-  
crossing (ZX) detection circuit on the phase current and voltage  
channels. The neutral current datapath does not contain a zero-  
crossing detection circuit. Zero-crossing events are used as a  
time base for various power quality measurements and in the  
calibration process.  
Similarly, the Phase B voltage circuit drives Bit 10 (ZXVB), the  
Phase C voltage circuit drives Bit 11 (ZXVC), and circuits placed  
in the current channel drive Bit 12 (ZXIA), Bit 13 (ZXIB), and  
Bit 14 (ZXIC) in the STATUS1 register. If a ZX detection bit is  
IRQ1  
set in the MASK1 register, the

events on the fundamental components of both current and  
voltage channels.  
cleared and the  
pin is set to high by writing to the STATUS1  
register with the status bit set to 1.  
Zero-Crossing Timeout  
Every zero-crossing detection circuit has an associated timeout  
register. This register is loaded with the value written into the  
16-bit ZXTOUT register and is decremented (1 LSB) every  
62.5 μs (16 kHz clock). The register is reset to the ZXTOUT  
value every time a zero crossing is detected. The default value of  
this register is 0xFFFF. If the timeout register decrements to 0  
before a zero crossing is detected, one of Bits[8:3] of the  
STATUS1 register is set to 1. Bit 3 (ZXTOVA), Bit 4 (ZXTOVB),  
and Bit 5 (ZXTOVC) in the STATUS1 register refer to Phase A,  
Phase B, and Phase C of the voltage channel; Bit 6 (ZXTOIA),  
Bit 7 (ZXTOIB), and Bit 8 (ZXTOIC) in the STATUS1 register  
refer to Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C of the current channel.  
The digital filter has a pole at 80 Hz and is clocked at 256 kHz.  
As a result, there is a phase lag between the analog input signal  
(one of IA, IB, IC, VA, VB, and VC) and the output of LPF1.  
The error in ZX detection is 0.0703° for 50 Hz systems (0.0843°  
for 60 Hz systems). The phase lag response of LPF1 results in a  
time delay of approximately 31.4° or 1.74 ms (at 50 Hz) between  
its input and output. The overall delay between the zero crossing  
on the analog inputs and ZX detection obtained after LPF1 is  
about 39.6° or 2.2 ms (at 50 Hz). The ADC and HPF introduce  
the additional delay. The LPF1 cannot be disabled to assure a  
good resolution of the ZX detection. Figure 43 shows how the  
zero-crossing signal is detected.  
If a ZXTOIx or ZXTOVx bit is set in the MASK1 register, the  
IRQ1  
interrupt pin is driven low when the corresponding status bit  
IRQ1  
is set to 1. The status bit is cleared and the  
pin is returned to  
high by writing to the STATUS1 register with the status bit set to 1.  
The resolution of the ZXOUT register is 62.5 μs (16 kHz clock)  
per LSB. Thus, the maximum timeout period for an interrupt is  
4.096 sec: 216/16 kHz.

Once a phase sequence error has been detected, the time  
measurement between various phase voltages (see the Time  
Interval Between Phases section) can help to identify which  
phase voltage should be considered with another phase current  
in the computational datapath. Bits[9:8] (VTOIA[1:0]), Bits[11:10]  
(VTOIB[1:0]), and Bits[13:12] (VTOIC[1:0]) in the CONFIG  
register can be used to direct one phase voltage to the datapath  
of another phase. See the Changing Phase Voltage Datapath  
section for details.

Phase Sequence Detection  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have on-chip  
phase sequence error detection circuits. This detection works  
on phase voltages and considers only the zero crossings  
determined by their negative-to-positive transitions. The regular  
succession of these zero-crossing events is Phase A followed by  
Phase B followed by Phase C (see Figure 46). If the sequence of  
zero-crossing events is, instead, Phase A followed by Phase C  
followed by Phase B, then Bit 19 (SEQERR) in the STATUS1  
register is set.  
Time Interval Between Phases  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have the capa-  
bility to measure the time delay between phase voltages, between  
phase currents, or between voltages and currents of the same  
phase. The negative-to-positive transitions identified by the zero-  
crossing detection circuit are used as start and stop measuring  
points. Only one set of such measurements is available at one time,  
based on Bits[10:9] (ANGLESEL[1:0]) in the COMPMODE  
register.  
If Bit 19 (SEQERR) in the MASK1 register is set to 1 and a  
phase sequence error event is triggered, the  
is driven low. The status bit is cleared and the

The phase sequence error detection circuit is functional only  
when the ADE78xx is connected in a 3-phase, 4-wire, three voltage  
sensors configuration (Bits[5:4], CONSEL[1:0] in the ACCMODE  
register, set to 00). In all other configurations, only two voltage  
sensors are used; therefore, it is not recommended to use the  
detection circuit. In these cases, use the time intervals between  
phase voltages to analyze the phase sequence (see the Time  
Interval Between Phases section for details).

Figure 46. Regular Succession of Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C  
When the ANGLESEL[1:0] bits are set to 00, the default value,  
the delays between voltages and currents on the same phase are  
measured. The delay between Phase A voltage and Phase A  
current is stored in the 16-bit unsigned ANGLE0 register (see  
Figure 47 for details). In a similar way, the delays between voltages  
and currents on Phase B and Phase C are stored in the ANGLE1  
and ANGLE2 registers, respectively.  
Figure 45 presents the case in which Phase A voltage is not  
followed by Phase B voltage but by Phase C voltage. Every time  
a negative-to-positive zero crossing occurs, Bit 19 (SEQERR) in  
the STATUS1 register is set to 1 because such zero crossings on  
Phase C, Phase B, or Phase A cannot come after zero crossings  
from Phase A, Phase C, or respectively, Phase B zero crossings.

The period measurement has a resolution of 3.90625 μs/LSB  
(256 kHz clock), which represents 0.0195% (50 Hz/256 kHz)  
when the line frequency is 50 Hz and 0.0234% (60 Hz/256 kHz)  
when the line frequency is 60 Hz. The value of the period register  
for 50 Hz networks is approximately 5120 (256 kHz/50 Hz) and  
for 60 Hz networks is approximately 4267 (256 kHz/60 Hz). The  
length of the register enables the measurement of line frequencies  
as low as 3.9 Hz (256 kHz/216). The period register is stable at  
1 LSB when the line is established and the measurement does  
not change.

Figure 47. Delay Between Phase A Voltage and Phase A Current Is

When the ANGLESEL[1:0] bits are set to 01, the delays between  
phase voltages are measured. The delay between Phase A voltage  
and Phase C voltage is stored into the ANGLE0 register. The  
delay between Phase B voltage and Phase C voltage is stored in  
the ANGLE1 register, and the delay between Phase A voltage  
and Phase B voltage is stored in the ANGLE2 register (see

The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can be pro-

drops below a certain peak value for a number of half-line cycles.  
The phase where this event takes place is identified in Bits[14:12]

Figure 49 shows Phase A voltage falling below a threshold that  
is set in the SAG level register (SAGLVL) for four half-line cycles  
(SAGCYC = 4). When Bit 16 (SAG) in the STATUS1 register is set  
to 1 to indicate the condition, Bit VSPHASE[0] in the PHSTATUS  
register is also set to 1 because the event happened on Phase A  
Bit 16 (SAG) in the STATUS1 register. All Bits[14:12] (VSPHASE[2],  
VSPHASE[1], and VSPHASE[0]) of the PHSTATUS register (not  
just the VSPHASE[0] bit) are erased by writing the STATUS1  
register with the SAG bit set to 1.  
the SAG event is triggered continuously. Writing 0x00 or 0x01  
puts the SAG detection level at 0, therefore, the SAG event is  
never triggered.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.  
Similar to the register presented in Figure 36, the SAGLVL  
register is accessed as a 32-bit register with eight MSBs padded  
with 0s.  
Peak Detection  
The SAGCYC register represents the number of half-line cycles  
the phase voltage must remain below the level indicated in the  
SAGLVL register to trigger a SAG condition; 0 is not a valid  
number for SAGCYC. For example, when the SAG cycle  
(SAGCYC[7:0]) contains 0x07, the SAG flag in the STATUS1  
register is set at the end of the seventh half line cycle for which  
the line voltage falls below the threshold. If Bit 16 (SAG) in  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 record the  
maximum absolute values reached by the voltage and current  
channels over a certain number of half-line cycles and stores  
them into the less significant 24 bits of the VPEAK and IPEAK  
32-bit registers.  
The PEAKCYC register contains the number of half-line cycles  
used as a time base for the measurement. The circuit uses the  
zero-crossing points identified by the zero-crossing detection  
circuit. Bits[4:2] (PEAKSEL[2:0]) in the MMODE register select  
the phases upon which the peak measurement is performed. Bit 2  
selects Phase A, Bit 3 selects Phase B, and Bit 4 selects Phase C.  
Selecting more than one phase to monitor the peak values  
decreases proportionally the measurement period indicated in  
the PEAKCYC register because zero crossings from more  
phases are involved in the process. When a new peak value is  
determined, one of Bits[26:24] (IPPHASE[2:0] or VPPHASE[2:0])  
in the IPEAK and VPEAK registers is set to 1, identifying the  
phase that triggered the peak detection event. For example, if a  
peak value has been identified on Phase A current, Bit 24  
(IPPHASE[0]) in the IPEAK register is set to 1. If next time a  
new peak value is measured on Phase B, Bit 24 (IPPHASE[0])  
of the IPEAK register is cleared to 0, and Bit 25 (IPPHASE[1])  
of the IPEAK register is set to 1. Figure 50 shows the composition  
of the IPEAK and VPEAK registers.  
IRQ1  
MASK1 is set, the  
interrupt pin is driven low in case of  
a SAG event in the same moment the Status Bit 16 (SAG) in  
STATUS1 register is set to 1. The SAG status bit in the STATUS1  
register and all Bits[14:12] (VSPHASE[2], VSPHASE[1], and  
VSPHASE[0]]) of the PHSTATUS register are cleared, and the  
IRQ1  
pin is returned to high by writing to the STATUS1  
register with the status bit set to 1.  
When the Phase B voltage falls below the indicated threshold  
into the SAGLVL register for two line cycles, Bit VSPHASE[1]  
in the PHSTATUS register is set to 1, and Bit VSPHASE[0] is  
cleared to 0. Simultaneously, Bit 16 (SAG) in the STATUS1 register  
is set to 1 to indicate the condition.  
Note that the internal zero-crossing counter is always active. By  
setting the SAGLVL register, the first SAG detection result is,  
therefore, not executed across a full SAGCYC period. Writing to  
the SAGCYC register when the SAGLVL register is already initia-  
lized resets the zero-crossing counter, thus ensuring that the first  
SAG detection result is obtained across a full SAGCYC period.

PEAKCYC is set to 16, meaning that the peak measurement  
cycle is four line periods. The maximum absolute value of Phase A  
is the greatest during the first four line periods (PEAKCYC = 16),  
so the maximum absolute value is written into the less signifi-

remains at 1 for the duration of the second PEAKCYC period of

The content of the overvoltage (OVLVL), and overcurrent,  
(OILVL) 24-bit unsigned registers is compared to the absolute  
value of the voltage and current channels. The maximum value of  
these registers is the maximum value of the HPF outputs:  
+5,928,256 (0x5A7540). When the OVLVL or OILVL register is  
equal to this value, the overvoltage or overcurrent conditions  
are never detected. Writing 0x0 to these registers signifies the  
overvoltage or overcurrent conditions are continuously detected,  
and the corresponding interrupts are permanently triggered.  
If ISUM INWV ISUMLVL , then MISMTCH = 0  
If ISUM INWV > ISUMLVL , then MISMTCH = 1  
ISUMLVL, the positive threshold used in the process, is a 24-bit  
signed register. Because it is used in a comparison with an  
absolute value, always set ISUMLVL as a positive number,  
somewhere between 0x00000 and 0x7FFFFF. ISUMLVL uses  
the same scale of the current ADCs outputs, so writing  
+5,928,256 (0x5A7540) to the ISUMLVL register puts the  
mismatch detection level at full scale; see the Current Channel  
ADC section for details. Writing 0x000000, the default value, or  
a negative value, signifies the MISMTCH event is always triggered.  
The right value for the application should be written into the  
ISUMLVL register after power-up or after a hardware/software  
reset to avoid continuously triggering MISMTCH events.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.  
Similar to the register presented in Figure 36, OILVL and  
OVLVL registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the eight  
MSBs padded with 0s.  
Neutral Current MismatchADE7868, ADE7878  
Neutral current mismatch is available in the ADE7868 and  
ADE7878 only. In 3-phase systems, the neutral current is equal  
to the algebraic sum of the phase currents  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit  
words and the DSP works on 28 bits. As presented in Figure 53,  
ISUM, the 28-bit signed register, is accessed as a 32-bit register  
with the four most significant bits padded with 0s.

used to signal when the ISUM register can be read. See the

PHASE COMPENSATION  
As described in the Current Channel ADC and Voltage Channel  
ADC sections, the datapath for both current and voltages is the  
same. The phase error between current and voltage signals  
introduced by the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
is negligible. However, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/  
ADE7878 must work with transducers that may have inherent

current leads the voltage, the result is negative and the absolute  
value is written into the PHCAL registers. If the current lags  
the voltage, the result is positive and 512 is added to the result  
before writing it into xPHCAL.  
The errors associated with phase mismatch are particularly  
noticeable at low power factors. The ADE78xx provides a means  
of digitally calibrating these small phase errors. The ADE78xx  
allows a small time delay or time advance to be introduced into  
the signal processing chain to compensate for the small phase  
errors.

The phase calibration registers (APHCAL, BPHCAL, and  
CPHCAL) are 10-bit registers that can vary the time advance  
in the voltage channel signal path from −374.0 µs to +61.5 μs.  
Negative values written to the PHCAL registers represent a time  
advance whereas positive values represent a time delay. One LSB  
is equivalent to 0.976 µs of time delay or time advance (clock  
rate of 1.024 MHz). With a line frequency of 60 Hz, this gives  
a phase resolution of 0.0211° (360° × 60 Hz/1.024 MHz) at the  
fundamental. This corresponds to a total correction range of  
−8.079° to +1.329° at 60 Hz. At 50 Hz, the correction range is  
−6.732° to +1.107° and the resolution is 0.0176° (360° × 50 Hz/  
1.024 MHz).  
Figure 55 illustrates how the phase compensation is used to remove  
x = −1° phase lead in IA of the current channel from the external  
current transducer (equivalent of 55.5 µs for 50 Hz systems). To  
cancel the lead (1°) in the current channel of Phase A, a phase  
lead must be introduced into the corresponding voltage channel.  
Using Equation 8, APHCAL is 57 least significant bits, rounded  
up from 56.8. The phase lead is achieved by introducing a time  
delay of 55.73 µs into the Phase A current.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.  
As shown in Figure 54, APHCAL, BPHCAL, and CPHCAL

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
The drift curve on any particular IC can be matched with either  
of these sample curves. The general relationship between the  
absolute value of the voltage reference at a particular endpoint  
temperature and the temperature coefficient for that region of  
the curve is explained by the following two equations:  
REFERENCE CIRCUIT  
The nominal reference voltage at the REFIN/OUT pin is 1.2 V. This  
is the reference voltage for the ADCs in the ADE7854/  
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878. Use a typical external reference  
voltage of 1.2 V to overdrive the REFIN/OUT pin. The temperature  
coefficient of the internal voltage reference is calculated based  
on the endpoint method. To calculate the drift over  
temperature, the values of the voltage reference at endpoints  
(−40°C and +85°C) are measured and compared to the  
reference value at 25°C, which in turn provides the slope of the  
temperature coefficient curve. Figure 56 is a typical

where αc and αh are cold and hot temperature coefficients,  
respectively, calculated by  
representation of the drift over temperature. It contains two

of two possible curvatures that are observed over the entire  
specified temperature range.

As the sign of cold and hot temperature coefficients can vary  
from one IC to another, the typical drift is specified for the  
whole range with a plus-minus sign( ). To find the typical,  
minimum and maximum temperature coefficients, as listed in  
the Specifications section, data based on the end-point method  
is collected on ICs spread out over different lots. The minimum  
and maximum temperature coefficents denote that the drift of  
any particular IC will be within those limits, over the specified  
temperature range, with reference to 25°C. See Figure 57 and  
Figure 58 for the device-to-device variation of the drift.

Figure 56. Internal Voltage Reference Temperature Drift  
Figure 56 shows that independent consideration of two regions  
is necessary for accurate analysis of the drift over temperature,  
as follows:  
Considering the region between Point A and Point B in  
Curve X, the reference value increases with an increase in  
temperature; thus, the curve has a positive slope from A to  
B. This results in a positive temperature coefficient in this  
region.  
Considering the region between Point B and Point C in  
Curve X, the slope of the curve is negative because the  
voltage reference decreases with an increase in  
temperature; thus, this region of the curve has a negative  
temperature coefficient.  
Based on similar logic, Curve Y has a negative temperature  
coefficient between Point Aand PointB and a positive  
temperature coefficient between Point B and PointC.

memory RAM are initialized at 0, their default values, and they  
can be read/written without any restriction. The run register,  
used to start and stop the DSP, is cleared to 0x0000. The run  
register needs to be written with 0x0001 for the DSP to start  
code execution.  
To protect the integrity of the data stored in the data memory  
RAM of the DSP (addresses between 0x4380 and 0x43BE),  
a write protection mechanism is available. By default, the  
protection is disabled and registers placed between 0x4380 and  
0x43BE can be written without restriction. When the protection  
is enabled, no writes to these registers is allowed. Registers can  
be always read, without restriction, independent of the write  
protection state.

To enable the protection, write 0xAD to an internal 8-bit

to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3.  
Figure 58. Histogram of the Reference Drift from 25°C to 85°C  
Because the reference is used for all ADCs, any x% drift in the  
reference results in a 2x% deviation of the meter accuracy. The  
reference drift resulting from temperature changes is usually very  
small and, typically, much smaller than the drift of other  
components on a meter.  
It is recommended to enable the write protection after the  
registers have been initialized. If any data memory RAM based  
register needs to be changed, simply disable the protection,  
change the value and then re-enable the protection. There is  
no need to stop the DSP to change these registers.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 use the internal  
voltage reference when Bit 0 (EXTREFEN) in the CONFIG2  
register is cleared to 0 (the default value); the external voltage  
reference is used when the bit is set to 1. Set the CONFIG2 register  
during the PSM0 mode; its value is maintained during the PSM1,  
PSM2, and PSM3 power modes.  
To disable the protection, write 0xAD to an internal 8-bit  
register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of 0x00  
to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3.  
The recommended procedure to initialize the ADE7854/  
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers at power up is as  
follows:  
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain a fixed  
function digital signal processor (DSP) that computes all powers  
and rms values. It contains program memory ROM and data  
memory RAM.  
Initialize the AIGAIN, BIGAIN, CIGAIN, and NIGAIN  
registers.  
Start the DSP by setting run = 1.  
The program used for the power and rms computations is  
stored in the program memory ROM and the processor executes  
it every 8 kHz. The end of the computations is signaled by  
setting Bit 17 (DREADY) to 1 in the STATUS0 register. An  
interrupt attached to this flag can be enabled by setting Bit 17  
Initialize all the other data memory RAM registers. Write  
the last register in the queue three times to ensure its  
value was written into the RAM. Initialize all of the other  
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers with the  
exception of the CFMODE register.

computations. The status bit is cleared and the  
pin is set  
to high by writing to the STATUS0 register with Bit 17 (DREADY)  
set to 1.  
Clear Bit 9 (CF1DIS), Bit 10 (CF2DIS), and Bit 11  
(CF3DIS) in the CFMODE register to enable pulses at  
the CF1, CF2, and CF3 pins. Do this initialization last,  
so no spurious pulses are generated while the ADE7854/  
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are initialized.  
The registers used by the DSP are located in the data memory  
RAM, at addresses between 0x4380 and 0x43BE. The width of  
this memory is 28 bits. Within the DSP core, the DSP contains a  
two stage pipeline. This means that when a single register needs  
to be initialized, two more writes are required to ensure the  
value has been written into RAM, and if two or more registers  
need to be initialized, the last register must be written two more  
times to ensure the value has been written into RAM.  
Enable the write protection by writing 0xAD to an internal  
8-bit register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of  
0x80 to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3.  
Read back all data memory RAM registers to ensure they  
were initialized with the desired values.  
As explained in the Power-Up Procedure section, at power-up  
or after a hardware or software reset, the DSP is in idle mode.  
No instruction is executed. All the registers located in the data  
In the remote case that one or more registers are not initia-

There is no obvious reason to stop the DSP if the ADE78xx is  
maintained in PSM0 normal mode. All ADE78xx registers,  
including ones located in the data memory RAM, can be  
modified without stopping the DSP. However, to stop the DSP,  
0x0000 has to be written into run register. To restart the DSP,  
one of the following procedures must be followed:

If the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers  
located in the data memory RAM have not been modified,  
write 0x0001 into the run register to start the DSP.  
If the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers  
located in the data memory RAM have to be modified, first  
execute a software or a hardware reset, and then follow the  
recommended procedure to initialize the registers at power  
up.  
The rms calculation based on this method is simultaneously  
processed on all seven analog input channels. Each result is  
available in the 24-bit registers: AIRMS, BIRMS, CIRMS,  
AVRMS, BVRMS, CVRMS, and NIRMS (NIRMS is available  
on the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only).  
The second method computes the absolute value of the input  
signal and then filters it to extract its dc component. It computes  
the absolute mean value of the input. If the input signal in  
Equation 12 has a fundamental component only, its average  
value is  
As mentioned in the Power Management section, when the  
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 switch out of PSM0  
power mode, it is recommended to stop the DSP by writing  
0x0000 into the run register (see Figure 11 and Table 12 for  
the recommended actions when changing power modes).

ROOT MEAN SQUARE MEASUREMENT

Root mean square (rms) is a measurement of the magnitude of  
an ac signal. Its definition can be both practical and mathematical.  
Defined practically, the rms value assigned to an ac signal is the  
amount of dc required to produce an equivalent amount of  
power in the load. Mathematically, the rms value of a conti-  
nuous signal f(t) is defined as

The calculation based on this method is simultaneously processed  
only on the three phase currents. Each result is available in the  
20-bit registers, which are available on the ADE7868 and  
ADE7878 only: AIMAV, BMAV, and CMAV. Note that the  
proportionality between mav and rms values is maintained for  
the fundamental components only. If harmonics are present in the  
current channel, the mean absolute value is no longer  
proportional to rms.

This section presents the first approach to compute the rms  
values of all phase and neutral currents.

Equation 10 implies that for signals containing harmonics, the  
rms calculation contains the contribution of all harmonics, not  
only the fundamental. The ADE78xx uses two different methods  
to calculate rms values. The first one is very accurate and is active  
only in PSM0 mode. The second one is less accurate, uses the  
estimation of the mean absolute value (mav) measurement, is  
active in PSM0 and PSM1 modes, and is available for the  
ADE7868 and ADE7878 only.  
Figure 59 shows the detail of the signal processing chain for the  
rms calculation on one of the phases of the current channel.  
The current channel rms value is processed from the samples  
used in the current channel. The current rms values are signed  
24-bit values and they are stored into the AIRMS, BIRMS, CIRMS,  
and NIRMS (ADE7868/ADE7878 only) registers. The update  
rate of the current rms measurement is 8 kHz.  
With the specified full-scale analog input signal of 0.5 V, the  
ADC produces an output code that is approximately 5,928,256.  
The equivalent rms value of a full-scale sinusoidal signal is  
4,191,910 (0x3FF6A6), independent of the line frequency. If  
The first method is to low-pass filter the square of the input  
signal (LPF) and take the square root of the result (see Figure 59).

The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 incorporate a  
current rms offset compensation register for each phase:  
AIRMSOS, BIRMSOS, CIRMSOS registers, and the NIRMSOS  
register for ADE7868 and ADE7878 only. These are 24-bit  
signed registers that are used to remove offsets in the current  
rms calculations. An offset can exist in the rms calculation due  
to input noises that are integrated in the dc component of I2(t).  
The current rms offset register is multiplied by 128 and added  
to the squared current rms before the square root is executed.  
Assuming that the maximum value from the current rms  
calculation is 4,191,910 with full-scale ac inputs (50 Hz), one LSB of

currents equal to zero for this purpose.

The mav values of full-scale sinusoidal signals of 50 Hz and  
60 Hz are 209,686 and 210,921, respectively. As seen in Figure 61,  
there is a 1.25% variation between the mav estimate at 45 Hz  
and the one at 65 Hz for full-scale sinusoidal inputs. The accuracy  
of the current mav is typically 0.5% error from the full-scale  
input down to 1/100 of the full-scale input. Additionally, this  
measurement has a bandwidth of 2 kHz. The settling time for  
the current mav measurement, that is the time it takes for the  
mav register to reflect the value at the input to the current  
channel within 0.5% error, is 500 ms. However, during the first  
measurement after entering this mode, it takes a longer time to  
settle to the correct value.

and the DSP works on 28 bits. Similar to the register presented  
in Figure 35, the AIRMSOS, BIRMSOS, CIRMSOS, and  
NIRMSOS (ADE7868/ADE7878 only) 24-bit signed registers

8-bit words. As presented in Figure 62, the AIMAV, BIMAV, and  
CIMAV 20-bit unsigned registers are accessed as 32-bit registers  
with the 12 MSBs padded with 0s.  
This section presents the second approach to estimate the rms  
values of all phase currents using the mean absolute value (mav)  
method. This approach is used in PSM1 mode, which is available  
to the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only, to allow energy accumu-  
lation based on current rms values when the missing neutral  
case demonstrates to be a tamper attack. This datapath is active  
also in PSM0 mode to allow for its gain calibration. The gain is  
used in the external microprocessor during PSM1 mode. The  
mav value of the neutral current is not computed using this  
method. Figure 60 shows the details of the signal processing  
chain for the mav calculation on one of the phases of the current  
channel.

coefficients corresponding to each phase. It is recommended to  
calculate the gains in PSM0 mode by supplying the ADE7868/

With the specified full-scale analog input signal of 0.5 V, the

The settling time for the V rms measurement is 440 ms for both  
50 Hz and 60 Hz input signals. The V rms measurement settling  
time is the time it takes for the rms register to reflect the value  
at the input to the voltage channel when starting from 0.  
The accuracy of the voltage rms is typically 0.1% error from the  
full-scale input down to 1/1000 of the full-scale input. Additionally,

ACTIVE POWER CALCULATION  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 compute the  
total active power on every phase. Total active power considers  
in its calculation all fundamental and harmonic components of  
the voltages and currents. In addition, the ADE7878 computes  
the fundamental active power, the power determined only by  
the fundamental components of the voltages and currents.  
Note that the total active power is equal to the dc component of

This is the expression used to calculate the total active power in

Total Active Power Calculation  
Electrical power is defined as the rate of energy flow from source  
to load, and it is given by the product of the voltage and current  
waveforms. The resulting waveform is called the instantaneous  
power signal, and it is equal to the rate of energy flow at every  
instant of time. The unit of power is the watt or joules/sec. If an

Figure 64 shows how the ADE78xx computes the total active  
power on each phase. First, it multiplies the current and voltage  
signals in each phase. Next, it extracts the dc component of the  
instantaneous power signal in each phase (A, B, and C) using  
LPF2, the low-pass filter.

If the phase currents and voltages contain only the fundamental  
component, are in phase (that is φ1 = γ1 = 0), and they correspond  
to full-scale ADC inputs, then multiplying them results in an  
instantaneous power signal that has a dc component, V1 × I1,  
and a sinusoidal component, V1 × I1 cos(2ωt); Figure 65 shows  
the corresponding waveforms.  
PMAX = 33,516,139; it is the instantaneous power computed  
when the ADC inputs are at full scale and in phase.

of the frequency of the network and its nominal voltage measured  
in the voltage channel. Bit 14 (SELFREQ) in the COMPMODE

which the ADE7878 is connected. If the network frequency is

Because LPF2 does not have an ideal brick wall frequency  
response (see Figure 66), the active power signal has some  
ripple due to the instantaneous power signal. This ripple is  
sinusoidal and has a frequency equal to twice the line frequency.  
Because the ripple is sinusoidal in nature, it is removed when  
the active power signal is integrated over time to calculate the  
energy.

to them. These registers are used to calibrate the active power  
(or energy) calculation in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/  
ADE7878for each phase.  
Calculation section, the active energy accumulation is performed  
in two stages. Every time a sign change is detected in the energy  
accumulation at the end of the first stage, that is, after the energy  
accumulated into the internal accumulator reaches the WTHR  
register threshold, a dedicated interrupt is triggered. The sign of  
each phase active power can be read in the PHSIGN register.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words, and the DSP works on 28 bits.  
Similar to registers presented in Figure 35, AWGAIN, BWGAIN,  
CWGAIN, AFWGAIN, BFWGAIN, and CFWGAIN 24-bit  
signed registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the four  
MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.  
Bit 6 (REVAPSEL) in the ACCMODE register sets the type  
of active power being monitored. When REVAPSEL is 0,  
the default value, the total active power is monitored. When  
REVAPSEL is 1, the fundamental active power is monitored.  
Bits[8:6] (REVAPC, REVAPB, and REVAPA, respectively) in the  
STATUS0 register are set when a sign change occurs in the  
power selected by Bit 6 (REVAPSEL) in the ACCMODE  
register.  
Active Power Offset Calibration  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 incorporate a  
watt offset 24-bit register on each phase and on each active  
power. The AWAT TOS, BWATTOS, and CWATTOS registers  
compensate the offsets in the total active power calculations,  
and the AFWATTOS, BFWATTOS, and CFWATTOS registers  
compensate offsets in the fundamental active power calculations.  
These are signed twos complement, 24-bit registers that are  
used to remove offsets in the active power calculations. An  
offset can exist in the power calculation due to crosstalk between  
channels on the PCB or in the chip itself. One LSB in the active  
power offset register is equivalent to 1 LSB in the active power  
multiplier output. With full-scale current and voltage inputs,  
the LPF2 output is PMAX = 33,516,139. At −80 dB down from  
the full scale (active power scaled down 104 times), one LSB of  
the active power offset register represents 0.0298% of PMAX.  
Bits[2:0] (CWSIGN, BWSIGN, and AWSIGN, respectively) in  
the PHSIGN register are set simultaneously with the REVAPC,  
REVAPB, and REVAPA bits. They indicate the sign of the power.  
When they are 0, the corresponding power is positive. When  
they are 1, the corresponding power is negative.  
Bit REVAPx of STATUS0 and Bit xWSIGN in the PHSIGN  
register refer to the total active power of Phase x, the power type  
being selected by Bit 6 (REVAPSEL) in the ACCMODE register.  
Interrupts attached to Bits[8:6] (REVAPC, REVAPB, and REVAPA,  
respectively) in the STATUS0 register can be enabled by setting

Bits[8:6] in the MASK0 register. If enabled, the  
pin is set  
low, and the status bit is set to 1 whenever a change of sign occurs.  
To find the phase that triggered the interrupt, the PHSIGN register  
is read immediately after reading the STATUS0 register. Next, the

Figure 67. Total Active Energy Accumulation  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 achieve the  
integration of the active power signal in two stages (see Figure 67).  
The process is identical for both total and fundamental active  
powers. The first stage is accomplished inside the DSP: every  
125 µs (8 kHz frequency) the instantaneous phase total or funda-  
mental active power is accumulated into an internal register.  
When a threshold is reached, a pulse is generated at the processor  
port, and the threshold is subtracted from the internal register.  
The sign of the energy in this moment is considered the sign of  
the active power (see Sign of Active Power Calculation section  
for details). The second stage is done outside the DSP and consists  
of accumulating the pulses generated by the processor into internal  
32-bit accumulation registers. The content of these registers is  
transferred to watt-hour registers, xWAT THR and xFWATTHR,  
when these registers are accessed.

Bit 0 (AEHF) in the STATUS0 register is set when Bit 30 of  
one of the xWATTHR registers changes, signifying one of these  
registers is half full. If the active power is positive, the watt-hour  
register becomes half full when it increments from 0x3FFF FFFF to  
0x4000 0000. If the active power is negative, the watt-hour  
register becomes half full when it decrements from 0xC000  
0000 to 0xBFFF FFFF. Similarly, Bit 1 (FAEHF) in STATUS0  
register, is set when Bit 30 of one of the xFWATTHR registers  
changes, signifying one of these registers is half full.

Setting Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE register enables a  
read-with-reset for all watt-hour accumulation registers, that is,  
the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.  
Integration Time Under Steady Load  
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation register  
is 125 µs (8 kHz frequency). With full-scale sinusoidal signals  
on the analog inputs and the watt gain registers set to 0x00000, the  
average word value from each LPF2 is PMAX = 33,516,139 =  
0x1FF6A6B. If the WTHR register threshold is set at the PMAX  
level, this means the DSP generates a pulse that is added at watt-  
hour registers every 125 µs.  
Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation Mode  
In line cycle energy accumulation mode, the energy accumula-  
tion is synchronized to the voltage channel zero crossings such  
that active energy is accumulated over an integral number of  
half line cycles. The advantage of summing the active energy  
over an integer number of line cycles is that the sinusoidal compo-  
nent in the active energy is reduced to 0. This eliminates any  
ripple in the energy calculation and allows the energy to be  
accumulated accurately over a shorter time. By using the line  
cycle energy accumulation mode, the energy calibration can be  
greatly simplified, and the time required to calibrate the meter  
can be significantly reduced. In line cycle energy accumulation  
mode, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 transfer the  
active energy accumulated in the 32-bit internal accumulation  
registers into the xWAT THR or xFWAT THR registers after an  
integral number of line cycles, as shown in Figure 70. The  
number of half line cycles is specified in the LINECYC register.  
The maximum value that can be stored in the watt-hour  
accumulation register before it overflows is 231 − 1 or  
0x7FFFFFFF. The integration time is calculated as  
Time = 0x7FFF,FFFF × 125 μs = 74 hr 33 min 55 sec (27)  
Energy Accumulation Modes  
The active power accumulated in each watt-hour accumulation  
32-bit register (AWATTHR, BWATTHR, CWATTHR,  
AFWAT THR, BFWATTHR, and CFWATTHR) depends on the  
configuration of Bit 5 and Bit 4 (CONSEL bits) in the ACCMODE  
register. The various configurations are described in Table 15.

A load that contains a reactive element (inductor or capacitor)  
produces a phase difference between the applied ac voltage and  
the resulting current. The power associated with reactive elements  
is called reactive power, and its unit is VAR. Reactive power is  
defined as the product of the voltage and current waveforms when  
all harmonic components of one of these signals are phase  
shifted by 90°.  
The line cycle energy accumulation mode is activated by setting  
Bit 0 (LWATT) in the LCYCMODE register. The energy accu-  
mulation over an integer number of half line cycles is written  
to the watt-hour accumulation registers after LINECYC number  
of half line cycles is detected. When using the line cycle  
accumulation mode, the Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE  
register should be set to Logic 0 because the read with reset of  
watt-hour registers is not available in this mode.  
Equation 31 gives an expression for the instantaneous reactive  
power signal in an ac system when the phase of the current  
channel is shifted by +90°.  
Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C zero crossings are, respectively,  
included when counting the number of half line cycles by setting  
Bits[5:3] (ZXSEL[x]) in the LCYCMODE register. Any combi-  
nation of the zero crossings from all three phases can be used  
for counting the zero crossing. Select only one phase at a time  
for inclusion in the zero crossings count during calibration.

The number of zero crossings is specified by the LINECYC 16-bit  
unsigned register. The ADE78xx can accumulate active power  
for up to 65,535 combined zero crossings. Note that the internal  
zero-crossing counter is always active. By setting Bit 0 (LWATT)  
in the LCYCMODE register, the first energy accumulation  
result is, therefore, incorrect. Writing to the LINECYC register  
when the LWATT bit is set resets the zero-crossing counter, thus  
ensuring that the first energy accumulation result is accurate.

Reactive Power Gain Calibration  
The average reactive power in each phase can be scaled by  
100% by writing to one of the phase’s VAR gain 24-bit registers  
(AVARGAIN, BVARGAIN, CVARGAIN, AFVARGAIN,  
BFVARGAIN, or CFVARGAIN). The xVARGAIN registers are  
placed in each phase of the total reactive power datapath. The  
xFVARGAIN registers are placed in each phase of the fundamental  
reactive power datapath. The xVARGAIN registers are twos com-  
plement signed registers and have a resolution of 2−23/LSB. The  
function of the xVARGAIN registers is expressed by  
The average total reactive power over an integral number of line

This is the relationship used to calculate the total reactive power  
in the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 for each phase. The  
instantaneous reactive power signal, q(t), is generated by multi-  
plying each harmonic of the voltage signals by the 90° phase-  
shifted corresponding harmonic of the current in each phase.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-,  
16-, or 8-bit words and the DSP works on 28 bits. Similar to  
registers presented in Figure 35, the AVARGAIN, BVARGAIN,  
CVARGAIN, AFVARGAIN, BFVARGAIN, and CFVARGAIN  
24-bit signed registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the  
four MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.

Reactive Power Offset Calibration

The ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 provide a reactive power  
offset register on each phase and on each reactive power. AVAROS,  
BVAROS, and CVAROS registers compensate the offsets in the  
total reactive power calculations, whereas AFVAROS, BFVAROS,  
and CFVAROS registers compensate offsets in the fundamental  
reactive power calculations. These are signed twos complement,  
24-bit registers that are used to remove offsets in the reactive  
power calculations. An offset can exist in the power calculation  
due to crosstalk between channels on the PCB or in the chip  
itself. The offset resolution of the registers is the same as for the  
active power offset registers (see the Active Power Offset  
Calibration section).

the ADC inputs are at full scale.  
PMAX = 33,516,139, the instantaneous power computed when  
the ADC inputs are at full scale and in phase.  
The xVAR waveform registers can be accessed using various  
serial ports. Refer to the Waveform Sampling Mode section for  
more details.  
The expression of fundamental reactive power is obtained from  
Equation 33 with k = 1, as follows:  
FQ = V1I1 sin(φ1 γ1)  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-,  
16-, or 8-bit words and the DSP works on 28 bits. Similar to the  
registers presented in Figure 35, the AVAROS, BVAROS, and  
CVAROS 24-bit signed registers are accessed as 32-bit registers  
with the four MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.  
The ADE7878 computes the fundamental reactive power using  
a proprietary algorithm that requires some initialization function  
of the frequency of the network and its nominal voltage measured  
in the voltage channel. These initializations are introduced in  
the Active Power Calculation section and are common for both  
fundamental active and reactive powers.

Sign of Reactive Power Calculation  
Both total and fundamental reactive energy accumulations are  
always a signed operation. Negative energy is subtracted from  
the reactive energy contents.  
Note that the reactive power is a signed calculation. Table 18  
summarizes the relationship between the phase difference between  
the voltage and the current and the sign of the resulting reactive  
power calculation.  
Similar to active power, the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
achieve the integration of the reactive power signal in two  
stages (see Figure 71). The process is identical for both total and  
fundamental reactive powers.  
The ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have sign detection circuitry  
for reactive power calculations that can monitor the total reactive  
powers or the fundamental reactive powers. As described in the  
Reactive Energy Calculation section, the reactive energy accu-  
mulation is executed in two stages. Every time a sign change is  
detected in the energy accumulation at the end of the first stage,  
that is, after the energy accumulated into the internal accumulator  
reaches the VARTHR register threshold, a dedicated interrupt is  
triggered. The sign of each phase reactive power can be read in  
the PHSIGN register. Bit 7 (REVRPSEL) in the ACCMODE  
register sets the type of reactive power being monitored. When  
REVRPSEL is 0, the default value, the total reactive power is  
monitored. When REVRPSEL is 1, then the fundamental  
reactive power is monitored.  
The first stage is conducted inside the DSP: every 125 µs  
(8 kHz frequency), the instantaneous phase total reactive  
or fundamental power is accumulated into an internal  
register. When a threshold is reached, a pulse is generated  
at the processor port and the threshold is subtracted from  
the internal register. The sign of the energy in this moment  
is considered the sign of the reactive power (see the Sign of  
Reactive Power Calculation section for details).  
The second stage is performed outside the DSP and consists  
in accumulating the pulses generated by the processor into  
internal 32-bit accumulation registers. The content of these  
registers is transferred to the var-hour registers (xVARHR and  
xFVARHR) when these registers are accessed. AVARHR,  
BVARHR, CVARHR, AFWATTHR, BFWATTHR, and  
CFWATTHR represent phase fundamental reactive powers.  
Bits[12:10] (REVRPC, REVRPB, and REVRPA, respectively)  
in the STATUS0 register are set when a sign change occurs in  
the power selected by Bit 7 (REVRPSEL) in the ACCMODE  
register.  
Figure 68 from the Active Energy Calculation section explains  
this process. The VARTHR 48-bit signed register contains the  
threshold and it is introduced by the user. It is common for both  
total and fundamental phase reactive powers. Its value depends  
on how much energy is assigned to one LSB of var-hour  
registers. When a derivative of reactive energy (varh) of [10n  
varh], where n is an integer, is desired as one LSB of the  
xVARHR register; then, the xVARTHR register can be computed  
using the following equation:  
Bits[6:4] (CVARSIGN, BVARSIGN, and AVARSIGN, respectively)  
in the PHSIGN register are set simultaneously with the REVRPC,  
REVRPB, and REVRPA bits. They indicate the sign of the reactive  
power. When they are 0, the reactive power is positive. When  
they are 1, the reactive power is negative.  
Bit REVRPx of the STATUS0 register and Bit xVARSIGN in the  
PHSIGN register refer to the reactive power of Phase x, the  
power type being selected by Bit REVRPSEL in ACCMODE  
register.

In this mode, the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 transfer the  
reactive energy accumulated in the 32-bit internal accumulation  
registers into the xVARHR or xFVARHR registers after an  
integral number of line cycles, as shown in Figure 72. The  
number of half line cycles is specified in the LINECYC register.  
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation register  
is 125 µs (8 kHz frequency). With full-scale pure sinusoidal signals  
on the analog inputs and a 90° phase difference between the vol-  
tage and the current signal (the largest possible reactive power),  
the average word value representing the reactive power is PMAX =  
33,516,139 = 0x1FF6A6B. If the VARTHR threshold is set at the  
PMAX level, this means the DSP generates a pulse that is added  
at the var-hour registers every 125 µs.  
The line cycle reactive energy accumulation mode is activated by  
setting Bit 1 (LVAR) in the LCYCMODE register. The total reactive  
energy accumulated over an integer number of half line cycles  
or zero crossings is available in the var-hour accumulation registers  
after the number of zero crossings specified in the LINECYC reg-  
ister is detected. When using the line cycle accumulation mode,  
Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE register should be set to  
Logic 0 because a read with the reset of var-hour registers is not

The maximum value that can be stored in the var-hour

Bits[3:2] (VARACC[1:0]) in the ACCMODE register determine  
how CF frequency output can be a generated function of the total  
and fundamental reactive powers. While the var-hour accumu-  
lation registers accumulate the reactive power in a signed  
format, the frequency output can be generated in either the signed  
mode or the sign adjusted mode function of VARACC[1:0]. See  
the Energy-to-Frequency Conversion section for details.

Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C zero crossings are, respectively,  
included when counting the number of half line cycles by setting  
Bits[5:3] (ZXSEL[x]) in the LCYCMODE register. Any combi-  
nation of the zero crossings from all three phases can be used  
for counting the zero crossing. Select only one phase at a time  
for inclusion in the zero-crossings count during calibration.  
Line Cycle Reactive Energy Accumulation Mode  
As mentioned in the Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation  
Mode section, in line cycle energy accumulation mode, the  
energy accumulation can be synchronized to the voltage  
channel zero crossings so that reactive energy can be accu-  
mulated over an integral number of half line cycles.

(LENERGY) in the MASK0 interrupt mask register associated

The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 store the instan-  
taneous phase apparent powers into the AVA, BVA, and CVA  
registers. Their expression is  
APPARENT POWER CALCULATION

delivered to a load. One way to obtain the apparent power is by

called the arithmetic apparent power)

The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 compute the  
arithmetic apparent power on each phase. Figure 73 illustrates  
the signal processing in each phase for the calculation of the  
apparent power in the ADE78xx. Because V rms and I rms con-  
tain all harmonic information, the apparent power computed by  
the ADE78xx is total apparent power. The ADE7878 does not  
compute fundamental apparent power because it does not measure  
the rms values of the fundamental voltages and currents.  
The xVA[23:0] waveform registers may be accessed using  
various serial ports. Refer to the Waveform Sampling Mode  
section for more details.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can compute the  
apparent power in an alternative way by multiplying the phase  
rms current by an rms voltage introduced externally. See the  
Apparent Power Calculation Using VNOM section for details.

Apparent Power Gain Calibration  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers, the serial  
ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words. Similar  
to the register presented in Figure 36, the VNOM 24-bit signed  
register is accessed as a 32-bit register with the eight MSBs  
padded with 0s.  
The average apparent power result in each phase can be scaled  
by 100% by writing to one of the phases VAGAIN 24-bit registers  
(AVAGAIN, BVAGAIN, or CVAG AIN). The VAGAIN registers  
are twos complement, signed registers and have a resolution of  
2−23/LSB. The function of the xVAGAIN registers is expressed  
mathematically as  
Apparent Energy Calculation  
Apparent energy is defined as the integral of apparent power.  
Average Apparent Power =  
Apparent Energy = ∫s(t)dt  
(43)  
(41)  
VAGAIN Register  
Similar to active and reactive powers, the ADE7854/ADE7858/  
ADE7868/ADE7878 achieve the integration of the apparent power  
signal in two stages (see Figure 73). The first stage is conducted  
inside the DSP: every 125 µs (8 kHz frequency), the instanta-  
neous phase apparent power is accumulated into an internal  
register. When a threshold is reached, a pulse is generated at the  
processor port and the threshold is subtracted from the internal  
register. The second stage is conducted outside the DSP and  
consists of accumulating the pulses generated by the processor  
into internal 32-bit accumulation registers. The content of these  
registers is transferred to the VA-hour registers, xVAHR, when  
these registers are accessed. Figure 68 from the Active Energy  
Calculation section illustrates this process. The VATHR 48-bit  
register contains the threshold. Its value depends on how much  
energy is assigned to one LSB of the VA-hour registers. When a  
derivative of apparent energy (VAh) of [10n VAh], where n is an  
integer, is desired as one LSB of the xVAHR register; then, the  
xVATHR register can be computed using the following equation:  
V rms×I rms × 1 +  
223  
The output is scaled by –50% by writing 0xC00000 to the  
xVAGAIN registers, and it is increased by +50% by writing  
0x400000 to them. These registers calibrate the apparent power  
(or energy) calculation in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/  
ADE7878 for each phase.  
As previously stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers  
section, the serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit  
words and the DSP works on 28 bits. Similar to registers presented  
in Figure 35, the AVAGAIN, BVAGAIN, and CVAGAIN 24-bit  
registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the four MSBs  
padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.  
Apparent Power Offset Calibration  
Each rms measurement includes an offset compensation register  
to calibrate and eliminate the dc component in the rms value  
(see the Root Mean Square Measurement section). The voltage  
and current rms values are multiplied together in the apparent  
power signal processing. As no additional offsets are created in  
the multiplication of the rms values, there is no specific offset  
compensation in the apparent power signal processing. The offset  
compensation of the apparent power measurement in each phase is  
accomplished by calibrating each individual rms measurement.  
PMAX × fs × 3600 ×10n  
VATHR =  
VFS × IFS  
where:  
PMAX = 33,516,139 = 0x1FF6A6B, the instantaneous power  
computed when the ADC inputs are at full scale.  
fS = 8 kHz, the frequency with which the DSP computes the  
instantaneous power.  
VFS, IFS are the rms values of phase voltages and currents when  
the ADC inputs are at full scale.  
Apparent Power Calculation Using VNOM  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can compute the  
apparent power by multiplying the phase rms current by an rms  
voltage introduced externally in the VNOM 24-bit signed register.  
VATHR is a 48-bit register. As previously stated in the Current  
Waveform Gain Registers section, the serial ports of the ADE7854/  
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.  
Similar to the WTHR register presented in Figure 69, the VATHR  
register is accessed as two 32-bit registers (VATHR1 and VATHR0),  
each having eight MSBs padded with 0s.  
When one of Bits[13:11] (VNOMCEN, VNOMBEN, or  
VNOMAEN) in the COMPMODE register is set to 1, the  
apparent power in the corresponding phase (Phase x for  
VNOMxEN) is computed in this way. When the VNOMxEN  
bits are cleared to 0, the default value, then the arithmetic  
apparent power is computed.  
This discrete time accumulation or summation is equivalent to  
integration in continuous time following the description in  
Equation 44.  
The VNOM register contains a number determined by V, the  
desired rms voltage, and VFS, the rms value of the phase voltage  
when the ADC inputs are at full scale:

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
In the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, the phase  
apparent powers are accumulated in the AVAHR, BVAHR, and  
CVAHR 32-bit signed registers. The apparent energy register  
content can roll over to full-scale negative (0x80000000) and  
continue increasing in value when the apparent power is  
positive.  
The maximum value that can be stored in the xVAHR  
accumulation register before it overflows is 231 − 1 or  
0x7FFFFFFF. The integration time is calculated as  
Time = 0x7FFF,FFFF × 125 ꢀs = 74 hr 33 min 55 sec (45)  
Energy Accumulation Mode  
The apparent power accumulated in each accumulation register  
depends on the configuration of Bits[5:4] (CONSEL[1:0]) in the  
ACCMODE register. The various configurations are described  
in Table 20.  
Bit 4 (VAEHF) in the STATUS0 register is set when Bit 30 of one of  
the xVAHR registers changes, signifying one of these registers is  
half full. As the apparent power is always positive and the xVAHR  
registers are signed, the VA-hour registers become half full when  
they increment from 0x3FFFFFFF to 0x4000 0000. Interrupts  
attached to Bit VAEHF in the STATUS0 register can be enabled by

Setting Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE register enables  
a read-with-reset for all xVAHR accumulation registers, that is,  
the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.  
Line Cycle Apparent Energy Accumulation Mode  
As described in the Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation  
Mode section, in line cycle energy accumulation mode, the  
energy accumulation can be synchronized to the voltage channel  
zero crossings allowing apparent energy to be accumulated over an  
integral number of half line cycles. In this mode, the ADE7854/  
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878transfer the apparent energy  
accumulated in the 32-bit internal accumulation registers into  
the xVAHR registers after an integral number of line cycles, as  
shown in Figure 74. The number of half line cycles is specified  
in the LINECYC register.  
Integration Time Under Steady Load  
The discrete time sample period for the accumulation register is  
125 μs (8 kHz frequency). With full-scale pure sinusoidal signals  
on the analog inputs, the average word value representing the  
apparent power is PMAX. If the VATHR threshold register is set  
at the PMAX level, this means the DSP generates a pulse that  
is added at the xVAHR registers every 125 μs.

Data Sheet  
The line cycle apparent energy accumulation mode is activated  
by setting Bit 2 (LVA) in the LCYCMODE register. The apparent  
energy accumulated over an integer number of zero crossings is  
written to the xVAHR accumulation registers after the number  
of zero crossings specified in LINECYC register is detected. When  
using the line cycle accumulation mode, set Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of  
the LCYCMODE register to Logic 0 because a read with the reset  
of xVAHR registers is not available in this mode.  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain a high  
speed data capture (HSDC) port that is specially designed to  
provide fast access to the waveform sample registers. Read the  
HSDC Interface section for more details.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words. All registers listed in Table 21  
are transmitted signed extended from 24 bits to 32 bits (see  
Figure 37).  
Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C zero crossings are, respectively,  
included when counting the number of half line cycles by setting  
Bits[5:3] (ZXSEL[x]) in the LCYCMODE register. Any combi-  
nation of the zero crossings from all three phases can be used  
for counting the zero crossing. Select only one phase at a time  
for inclusion in the zero-crossings count during calibration.  
ENERGY-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERSION  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 provide three  
frequency output pins: CF1, CF2, and CF3. The CF3 pin is  
multiplexed with the HSCLK pin of the HSDC interface. When  
HSDC is enabled, the CF3 functionality is disabled at the pin.  
CF1 and CF2 pins are always available. After initial calibration  
at manufacturing, the manufacturer or end customer verifies  
the energy meter calibration. One convenient way to verify the  
meter calibration is to provide an output frequency propor-  
tional to the active, reactive, or apparent powers under steady  
load conditions. This output frequency can provide a simple,  
single-wire, optically isolated interface to external calibration  
equipment. Figure 75 illustrates the energy-to-frequency  
conversion in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878.  
For details on setting the LINECYC register and Bit 5 (LENERGY)  
in the MASK0 interrupt mask register associated with the line  
cycle accumulation mode, see the Line Cycle Active Energy  
Accumulation Mode section.  
WAVEFORM SAMPLING MODE  
The waveform samples of the current and voltage waveform,  
the active, reactive, and apparent power outputs are stored  
every 125 µs (8 kHz rate) into 24-bit signed registers that can be  
accessed through various serial ports of the ADE7854/ADE7858/  
ADE7868/ADE7878. Table 21 provides a list of registers and their  
descriptions.  
The DSP computes the instantaneous values of all phase powers:  
total active, fundamental active, total reactive, fundamental  
reactive, and apparent. The process in which the energy is sign  
accumulated in various xWATTHR, xVARHR, and xVAHR  
registers has already been described in the energy calculation  
sections: Active Energy Calculation, Reactive Energy Calculation,  
and Apparent Energy Calculation. In the energy-to-frequency  
conversion process, the instantaneous powers generate signals  
at the frequency output pins (CF1, CF2, and CF3). One digital-  
to-frequency converter is used for every CFx pin. Every converter  
sums certain phase powers and generates a signal proportional  
to the sum. Two sets of bits decide what powers are converted.

Phase A power is included in the sum of powers at the CFx  
converter. When cleared to 0, Phase A power is not included.  
The TERMSELx[1] bits manage Phase B, and the TERMSELx[2]  
bits manage Phase C. Setting all TERMSELx bits to 1 means all  
3-phase powers are added at the CFx converter. Clearing all  
TERMSELx bits to 0 means no phase power is added and no  
CF pulse is generated.  
Bit 17 (DREADY) in the STATUS0 register can be used to  
signal when the registers listed in Table 21 can be read using  
I2C or SPI serial ports. An interrupt attached to the flag can be  
enabled by setting Bit 17 (DREADY) in the MASK0 register.

By default, the TERMSELx bits are all 1 and the CF1SEL bits are  
000, the CF2SEL bits are 001, and the CF3SEL bits are 010. This  
means that by default, the CF1 digital-to-frequency converter  
produces signals proportional to the sum of all 3-phase total  
active powers, CF2 produces signals proportional to total  
reactive powers, and CF3 produces signals proportional to  
apparent powers.  
The pulse output is active low and preferably connected to an  
LED, as shown in Figure 76.  
V

CFx PIN  
Similar to the energy accumulation process, the energy-to-  
frequency conversion is accomplished in two stages. In the first  
stage, the instantaneous phase powers obtained from the DSP at  
the 8 kHz rate are shifted left by seven bits and then accumulate  
into an internal register at a 1 MHz rate. When a threshold is  
reached, a pulse is generated and the threshold is subtracted  
from the internal register. The sign of the energy in this moment  
is considered the sign of the sum of phase powers (see the Sign  
of Sum-of-Phase Powers in the CFx Datapath section for details).  
The threshold is the same threshold used in various active,  
reactive, and apparent energy accumulators in the DSP, such  
as the WTHR, VARTHR , or VATHR registers, except for being  
shifted left by seven bits. The advantage of accumulating the  
instantaneous powers at the 1 MHz rate is that the ripple at the  
CFx pins is greatly diminished.  
Figure 76. CFx Pin Recommended Connection  
Bits[11:9] (CF3DIS, CF2DIS, and CF1DIS) of the CFMODE  
register decide if the frequency converter output is generated  
at the CF3, CF2, or CF1 pin. When Bit CFxDIS is set to 1 (the  
default value), the CFx pin is disabled and the pin stays high.  
When Bit CFxDIS is cleared to 0, the corresponding CFx pin  
output generates an active low signal.  
Bits[16:14] (CF3, CF2, CF1) in the Interrupt Mask Register MASK0  
manage the CF3, CF2, and CF1 related interrupts. When the  
CFx bits are set, whenever a high-to-low transition at the corres-  
IRQ0  
ponding frequency converter output occurs, an interrupt  
is triggered and a status bit in the STATUS0 register is set to 1.  
The interrupt is available even if the CFx output is not enabled  
by the CFxDIS bits in the CFMODE register.  
The second stage consists of the frequency divider by the  
CFxDEN 16-bit unsigned registers. The values of CFxDEN  
depend on the meter constant (MC), measured in impulses/kWh  
and how much energy is assigned to one LSB of various energy  
registers: xWATTHR, xVARHR, and so forth. Supposing a deri-  
vative of wh [10n wh], n a positive or negative integer, is desired  
as one LSB of xWAT THR register. Then, CFxDEN is as follows:  
Synchronizing Energy Registers with CFx Outputs  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain a feature  
that allows synchronizing the content of phase energy accu-  
mulation registers with the generation of a CFx pulse. When  
a high-to-low transition at one frequency converter output  
occurs, the content of all internal phase energy registers that  
relate to the power being output at CFx pin is latched into hour  
registers and then resets to 0. See Table 22 for the list of registers  
that are latched based on the CFxSEL[2:0] bits in the CFMODE  
register. All 3-phase registers are latched independent of the  
TERMSELx bits of the COMPMODE register. The process is  
shown in Figure 77 for CF1SEL[2:0] = 010 (apparent powers  
contribute at the CF1 pin) and CFCYC = 2.  
103  
CFxDEN =  
(46)  
MC[imp/kwh]×10n  
The derivative of wh must be chosen in such a way to obtain a  
CFxDEN register content greater than 1. If CFxDEN = 1, then  
the CFx pin stays active low for only 1 µs, therefore, avoid this  
number. The frequency converter cannot accommodate fractional  
results; the result of the division must be rounded to the nearest  
integer. If CFxDEN is set equal to 0, then the ADE78xx considers it  
to be equal to 1.  
The CFCYC 8-bit unsigned register contains the number of high to  
low transitions at the frequency converter output between two  
consecutive latches. Avoid writing a new value into the CFCYC  
register during a high-to-low transition at any CFx pin.  
The pulse output for all digital-to-frequency converters stays  
low for 80 ms if the pulse period is larger than 160 ms (6.25 Hz). If  
the pulse period is smaller than 160 ms and CFxDEN is an even  
number, the duty cycle of the pulse output is exactly 50%. If the  
pulse period is smaller than 160 ms and CFxDEN is an odd  
number, the duty cycle of the pulse output is

CF Outputs for Various Accumulation Modes  
Bits[1:0] (WATTACC[1:0]) in the ACCMODE register deter-  
mine the accumulation modes of the total active and fundamental  
powers when signals proportional to the active powers are chosen  
at the CFx pins (the CFxSEL[2:0] bits in the CFMODE register  
equal 000 or 011). When WATTACC[1:0] = 00 (the default value),  
the active powers are sign accumulated before entering the energy-  
to-frequency converter. Figure 78 shows how signed active power  
accumulation works. In this mode, the CFx pulses synchronize  
perfectly with the active energy accumulated in xWAT THR regis-  
ters because the powers are sign accumulated in both data paths.

Figure 80. Reactive Power Signed Accumulation Mode  
When VARACC[1:0] = 10, the reactive powers are accumulated  
depending on the sign of the corresponding active power. If the  
active power is positive, the reactive power is accumulated as is.  
If the active power is negative, the sign of the reactive power is  
changed for accumulation. Figure 81 shows how the sign adjusted  
reactive power accumulation mode works. In this mode, the  
xVARHR registers continue to accumulate reactive powers in  
signed mode, even if the CFx pulses are generated based on the  
sign adjusted accumulation mode.  
Bits[3:2] (VARACC[1:0]) in the ACCMODE register determine the  
accumulation modes of the total and fundamental reactive powers  
when signals proportional to the reactive powers are chosen at the  
CFx pins (the CFxSEL[2:0] bits in the CFMODE register equal  
001 or 100). When VARACC[1:0] = 00, the default value, the  
reactive powers are sign accumulated before entering the  
energy-to-frequency converter. Figure 80 shows how signed

NO LOAD CONDITION  
The no load condition is defined in metering equipment standards  
as occurring when the voltage is applied to the meter and no cur-  
rent flows in the current circuit. To eliminate any creep effects in  
the meter, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878contain  
three separate no load detection circuits: one related to the total  
active and reactive powers (ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
only), one related to the fundamental active and reactive powers  
(ADE7878 only), and one related to the apparent powers.

This no load condition is triggered when the absolute values of

to positive thresholds indicated in the respective APNOLOAD  
and VARNOLOAD signed 24-bit registers. In this case, the total  
active and reactive energies of that phase are not accumulated  
and no CFx pulses are generated based on these energies. The  
APNOLOAD register represents the positive no load level of  
active power relative to PMAX, the maximum active power  
obtained when full-scale voltages and currents are provided at

Sign of Sum-of-Phase Powers in the CFx Datapath  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have sign  
detection circuitry for the sum of phase powers that are used in  
the CFx datapath. As seen in the beginning of the Energy-to-  
Frequency Conversion section, the energy accumulation in the  
CFx datapath is executed in two stages. Every time a sign change is  
detected in the energy accumulation at the end of the first stage,  
that is, after the energy accumulated into the accumulator  
reaches one of the WTHR, VARTHR, or VATHR thresholds, a  
dedicated interrupt can be triggered synchronously with the  
corresponding CFx pulse. The sign of each sum can be read in  
the PHSIGN register.

The VARNOLOAD register usually contains the same value as  
the APNOLOAD register. When APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD  
are set to negative values, the no load detection circuit is disabled.  
Note that the ADE7854 measures only the total active powers.  
To ensure good functionality of the ADE7854 no-load circuit,  
set the VARNOLOAD register at 0x800000.  
Bit 8, Bit 7, and Bit 3 (SUM3SIGN, SUM2SIGN, and SUM1SIGN,  
respectively) of the PHSIGN register are set in the same moment  
with Bit REVPSUM3, Bit REVPSUM2, and Bit REVPSUM1 and  
indicate the sign of the sum of phase powers. When cleared to  
0, the sum is positive. When set to 1, the sum is negative.  
As previously stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers  
section, the serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or  
8-bit words and the DSP works on 28 bits. APNOLOAD and  
VARNOLOAD 24-bit signed registers are accessed as 32-bit  
registers with the four MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended  
to 28 bits. See Figure 35 for details.  
Interrupts attached to Bit 18, Bit 13, and Bit 9 (REVPSUM3,  
REVPSUM2, and REVPSUM1, respectively) in the STATUS0

(NLPHASE[2:0]) in the PHNOLOAD register indicate the state  
of all phases relative to a no load condition and are set simulta-

When the VANOLOAD register is set to negative values, the no  
load detection circuit is disabled.  
This no load condition (available on the ADE7878 only) is  
triggered when the absolute values of both phase fundamental  
active and reactive powers are less than or equal to the respective  
APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD positive thresholds. In this  
case, the fundamental active and reactive energies of that phase  
are not accumulated, and no CFx pulses are generated based on  
these energies. APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD are the same  
no load thresholds set for the total active and reactive powers.  
When APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD are set to negative  
values, this no load detection circuit is disabled.  
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the  
serial ports of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words and the DSP works on 28 bits.

24-bit signed register is accessed as a 32-bit register with the

Bit 2 (VANLOAD) in the STATUS1 register is set when this no

indicates the state of Phase B, and FNLPHASE[2] indicates the

means the phase is out of the no load condition. When set to 1,  
it means the phase is in a no load condition.  
Bit VANLPHASE[0] indicates the state of Phase A.  
Bit VANLPHASE[1] indicates the state of Phase B.

CHECKSUM REGISTER  
No Load Detection Based on Apparent Power  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have a checksum  
32-bit register, CHECKSUM, that ensures certain very important  
configuration registers maintain their desired value during  
Normal Power Mode PSM0.  
This no load condition is triggered when the absolute value  
of phase apparent power is less than or equal to the threshold  
indicated in the VANOLOAD 24-bit signed register. In this  
case, the apparent energy of that phase is not accumulated  
and no CFx pulses are generated based on this energy. The  
VANOLOAD register represents the positive no load level  
of apparent power relative to PMAX, the maximum apparent  
The registers covered by this register are MASK0, MASK1,  
COMPMODE, gain, CFMODE, CF1DEN, CF2DEN, CF3DEN,  
CONFIG, MMODE, ACCMODE, LCYCMODE, HSDC_CFG,  
and another six 8-bit reserved internal registers that always have

default values. The ADE78xx computes the cyclic redundancy  
check (CRC) based on the IEEE802.3 standard. The registers  
are introduced one-by-one into a linear feedback shift register  
(LFSR) based generator starting with the least significant bit (as  
shown in Figure 82). The 32-bit result is written in the  
CHECKSUM register. After power-up or a hardware/software  
reset, the CRC is computed on the default values of the registers  
giving the results presented in the Table 23.  
gi, i = 0, 1, 2, …, 31 are the coefficients of the generating  
polynomial defined by the IEEE802.3 standard as follows:

j = 1, 2, …, 256. The value written into the CHECKSUM register  
contains the Bit bi(256), i = 0, 1, …, 31. The value of the CRC,

COMPMODE, gain, CFMODE, CF1DEN, CF2DEN, CF3DEN,  
CONFIG, MMODE, ACCMODE, LCYCMODE, and HSDC_CFG  
registers, and the six 8-bit reserved internal registers form the  
bits [a255, a254,…, a0] used by LFSR. Bit a0 is the least significant  
bit of the first internal register to enter LFSR; Bit a255 is the most  
significant bit of the MASK0 register, the last register to enter  
LFSR. The formulas that govern LFSR are as follows:  
Two different approaches can be followed in using the CHECK-  
SUM register. One is to compute the CRC based on the relations  
(47) to (53) and then compare the value against the CHECKSUM  
register. Another is to periodically read the CHECKSUM register.  
If two consecutive readings differ, it can be assumed that one of  
the registers has changed value and therefore, the ADE7854,  
ADE7858, ADE7868, or ADE7878 has changed configuration.  
The recommended response is to initiate a hardware/software  
reset that sets the values of all registers to the default, including  
the reserved ones, and then reinitialize the configuration registers.

irrespective of the state of the mask bits. To determine the source  
of the interrupt, the MCU should perform a read of the corres-  
ponding STATUSx register and identify which bit is set to 1. To  
erase the flag in the status register, write back to the STATUSx

ends. To cancel the status flag, the STATUS1 register has to be  
written with Bit 15 (RSTDONE) set to 1.  
2. On detection of the negative edge, configure the MCU to  
start executing its interrupt service routine (ISR).  
3. On entering the ISR, disable all interrupts using the global  
interrupt mask bit. At this point, the MCU external interrupt  
flag can be cleared to capture interrupt events that occur  
during the current ISR.  
4. When the MCU interrupt flag is cleared, a read from  
STATUSx, the interrupt status register, is carried out. The  
interrupt status register content is used to determine the  
source of the interrupt(s) and, hence, the appropriate  
action to be taken.  
Certain interrupts are used in conjunction with other status  
registers. The following bits in the MASK1 register work in  
conjunction with the status bits in the PHNOLOAD register:  
Bit 0 (NLOAD)  
Bit1 (FNLOAD), available in the ADE7878 only

The following bits in the MASK1 register work with the status bits

On returning from the ISR, the global interrupt mask bit is  
cleared (same instruction cycle) and the external interrupt flag  
uses the MCU to jump to its ISR once again. This ensures that

peripheral interface (SPI), and one high speed data capture port  
(HSDC). As the SPI pins are multiplexed with some of the pins  
of the I2C and HSDC ports, the ADE78xx accepts two confi-  
gurations: one using the SPI port only and one using the I2C  
port in conjunction with the HSDC port.  
SS  
toggling of the pin and an eventual switch into using the SPI  
port is no longer possible. If the SPI is the active serial port, any  
write to the CONFIG2 register locks the port. From this moment,  
a switch into using the I2C port is no longer possible. Once locked,  
the serial port choice is maintained when the ADE78xx changes  
PSMx power modes.  
The functionality of the ADE78xx is accessible via several on-  
chip registers. The contents of these registers can be updated or  
read using either the I2C or SPI interfaces. The HSDC port provides  
the state of up to 16 registers representing instantaneous values of  
phase voltages and neutral currents, and active, reactive, and  
apparent powers.  
Serial Interface Choice  
After reset, the HSDC port is always disabled. Choose between

I C port until a new hardware reset is executed. If the /HSA  
pin is toggled high to low three times after power-up or after a

use the SPI port until a new hardware reset is executed. This  
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 supports a fully  
licensed I2C interface. The I2C interface is implemented as a full  
hardware slave. SDA is the data I/O pin, and SCL is the serial  
clock. These two pins are shared with the MOSI and SCLK pins  
of the on-chip SPI interface. The maximum serial clock frequency  
supported by this interface is 400 kHz.  
SS  
manipulation of the /HSA pin can be accomplished in two  
SS  
ways. First, use the /HSA pin of the master device (that is, the  
microcontroller) as a regular I/O pin and toggle it three times.  
Second, execute three SPI write operations to a location in the  
address space that is not allocated to a specific ADE78xx register  
(for example 0xEBFF, where eight bit writes can be executed).  
The two pins used for data transfer, SDA and SCL, are confi-  
gured in a wire-ANDe d format that allows arbitration in a  
multimaster system.  
The transfer sequence of an I2C system consists of a master device  
initiating a transfer by generating a start condition while the bus  
is idle. The master transmits the address of the slave device and  
the direction of the data transfer in the initial address transfer. If  
the slave acknowledges, the data transfer is initiated. This con-  
tinues until the master issues a stop condition, and the bus  
becomes idle.  
SS  
These writes allow the /HSA pin to toggle three times. See the  
SPI Write Operation section for details on the write protocol  
involved.

bit. Because this  
is a read operation, it must be set to 1; thus, the first byte of the  
read operation is 0x71. After this byte is received, the ADE78xx  
generates an acknowledge. Then, the ADE78xx sends the value  
of the register, and after every eight bits are received, the master  
generates an acknowledge. All the bytes are sent with the most  
significant bit first. Because registers can have 8, 16, or 32 bits,  
after the last bit of the register is received, the master does not  
acknowledge the transfer but generates a stop condition.

The SPI of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is

SCLK, MOSI, MISO, and . The serial clock for a data transfer  
is applied at the SCLK logic input. All data transfer operations  
synchronize to the serial clock. Data shifts into the ADE78xx at  
the MOSI logic input on the falling edge of SCLK and the  
ADE78xx samples it on the rising edge of SCLK. Data shifts out  
of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 at the MISO  
logic output on a falling edge of SCLK and can be sampled by  
the master device on the raising edge of SCLK. The most  
significant bit of the word is shifted in and out first. The  
maximum serial clock frequency supported by this interface is  
2.5 MHz. MISO stays in high impedance when no data is  
transmitted from the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878.  
See Figure 88 for details of the connection between the  
ADE78xx SPI and a master device containing an SPI interface.

SPI Read Operation  
The read operation using the SPI interface of the ADE7854/  
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 initiate when the master sets the  
SS  
/HSA pin low and begins sending one byte, representing the  
address of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, on the  
MOSI line. The master sets data on the MOSI line starting with  
the first high-to-low transition of SCLK. The SPI of the ADE78xx  
samples data on the low-to-high transitions of SCLK. The most  
significant seven bits of the address byte can have any value, but  
as a good programming practice, they should be different from  
0111000b, the seven bits used in the I C protocol. Bit 0 (read/

write  
)
of the address byte must be 1 for a read operation. Next, the  
master sends the 16-bit address of the register that is read. After  
the ADE78xx receives the last bit of address of the register on a  
low-to-high transition of SCLK, it begins to transmit its contents  
on the MISO line when the next SCLK high-to-low transition  
occurs; thus, the master can sample the data on a low-to-high  
SCLK transition. After the master receives the last bit, it sets the

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878  
HSDC Interface  
Bit 0 (HCLK) in the HSDC_CFG register determines the serial  
clock frequency of the HSDC communication. When HCLK is  
0 (the default value), the clock frequency is 8 MHz. When HCLK  
is 1, the clock frequency is 4 MHz. A bit of data is transmitted  
for every HSCLK high-to-low transition. The slave device that  
receives data from HSDC samples the HSD line on the low-to-  
high transition of HSCLK.  
The high speed data capture (HSDC) interface is disabled after  
default. It can be used only if the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/  
ADE7878 is configured with an I2C interface. The SPI interface  
of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 cannot be used  
simultaneously with HSDC.  
Bit 6 (HSDCEN) in the CONFIG register activates HSDC when  
set to 1. If Bit HSDCEN is cleared to 0, the default value, the  
HSDC interface is disabled. Setting Bit HSDCEN to 1 when SPI  
is in use does not have any effect. HSDC is an interface for  
sending to an external device (usually a microprocessor or a  
DSP) up to sixteen 32-bit words. The words represent the  
instantaneous values of the phase currents and voltages, neutral  
current, and active, reactive, and apparent powers. The registers  
being transmitted include IAWV, VAWV, IBWV, VBWV, ICWV,  
VCWV, INWV, AVA, BVA, CVA, AWATT, BWATT, CWATT,  
AVAR, BVAR, and CVAR. All are 24-bit registers that are sign  
extended to 32-bits (see Figure 37 for details). In the case of  
ADE7854 and ADE7858, the INWV register is not available. In  
its place, the HSDC transmits one 32-bit word always equal  
to 0. In addition, the AVAR, BVAR, and CVAR registers are not  
available in the ADE7854. In their place, the HSDC transmits  
three 32-bit words that are always equal to 0.  
The words can be transmitted as 32-bit packages or as 8-bit  
packages. When Bit 1 (HSIZE) in the HSDC_CFG register is 0 (the  
default value), the words are transmitted as 32-bit packages. When  
Bit HSIZE is 1, the registers are transmitted as 8-bit packages. The  
HSDC interface transmits the words MSB first.  
Bit 2 (HGAP) introduces a gap of seven HSCLK cycles between  
packages when Bit 2 (HGAP) is set to 1. When Bit HGAP is cleared  
to 0 (the default value), no gap is introduced between packages  
and the communication time is shortest. In this case, HSIZE  
does not have any influence on the communication and a data  
bit is placed on the HSD line with every HSCLK high-to-low  
transition.  
Bits[4:3] (HXFER[1:0]) decide how many words are transmitted.  
When HXFER[1:0] is 00, the default value, then all 16 words are  
transmitted. When HXFER[1:0] is 01, only the words representing  
the instantaneous values of phase and neutral currents and phase  
voltages are transmitted in the following order: IAWV, VAWV,  
IBWV, VBWV, ICWV, VCWV, and one 32-bit word that is always  
equal to INWV. When HXFER[1:0] is 10, only the instantaneous  
values of phase powers are transmitted in the following order:  
AVA, BVA, CVA, AWATT, BWATT, CWATT, AVAR, BVAR, and  
CVAR. The value, 11, for HXFER[1:0] is reserved and writing it is  
equivalent to writing 00, the default value.  
HSDC can be interfaced with SPI or similar interfaces. HSDC is  
always a master of the communication and consists of three  
pins: HSA, HSD, and HSCLK. HSA represents the select signal.  
It stays active low or high when a word is transmitted and it is  
usually connected to the select pin of the slave. HSD sends data  
to the slave and it is usually connected to the data input pin of  
the slave. HSCLK is the serial clock line that is generated by the  
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 and it is usually con-  
nected to the serial clock input of the slave. Figure 91 shows the  
connections between the ADE78xx HSDC and slave devices  
containing an SPI interface.  
Bit 5 (HSAPOL) determines the polarity of HSA function of the  
SS  
/HSA pin during communication. When HSAPOL is 0 (the  
default value), HSA is active low during the communication.  
This means that HSA stays high when no communication is in  
progress. When a communication is executed, HSA is low when  
the 32-bit or 8-bit packages are transferred, and is high during

pin is active high during the communication. This means that  
HSA stays low when no communication is in progress. When a  
communication is executed, HSA is high when the 32-bit or  
8-bit packages are transferred, and is low during the gaps.  
Figure 91. Connecting the ADE78xx HSDC with an SPI  
The HSDC communication is managed by the HSDC_CFG  
register (see Table 53). It is recommended to set the HSDC_CFG  
register to the desired value before enabling the port using Bit 6  
(HSDCEN) in the CONFIG register. In this way, the state of  
various pins belonging to the HSDC port do not take levels incon-  
sistent with the desired HSDC behavior. After a hardware reset  
Bits[7:6] of the HSDC_CFG register are reserved. Any value  
written into these bits does not have any consequence on HSDC  
behavior.  
Figure 92 shows the HSDC transfer protocol for HGAP = 0,  
HXFER[1:0] = 00 and HSAPOL = 0. Note that the HSDC  
interface sets a data bit on the HSD line every HSCLK high-  
to-low transition and the value of Bit HSIZE is irrelevant.

Figure 93 shows the HSDC transfer protocol for HSIZE = 0,  
HGAP = 1, HXFER[1:0] = 00, and HSAPOL = 0. Note that the  
HSDC interface introduces a seven-HSCLK cycles gap between  
every 32-bit word.  
Table 24 lists the time it takes to execute an HSDC data transfer  
for all HSDC_CFG register settings. For some settings, the  
transfer time is less than 125 μs (8 kHz), the waveform sample  
registers update rate. This means the HSDC port transmits data  
every sampling cycle. For settings in which the transfer time is  
greater than 125 μs, the HSDC port transmits data only in the  
first of two consecutive 8 kHz sampling cycles. This means it  
transmits registers at an effective rate of 4 kHz.  
Figure 94 shows the HSDC transfer protocol for HSIZE = 1,  
HGAP = 1, HXFER[1:0] = 00, and HSAPOL = 0. Note that the  
HSDC interface introduces a seven-HSCLK cycles gap between  
every 8-bit word.

Figure 96 and Figure 97 present a proposed layout of a printed  
circuit board (PCB) with two layers that have the components  
placed only on the top of the board. Following these layout  
guidelines will help in creating a low noise design with higher  
immunity to EMC influences.

The VDD, AVDD, DVDD and REFin/out pins have each two  
decoupling capacitors, one of uF order and a ceramic one of  
220nF or 100nF. These ceramic capacitors need to be placed the  
closest the the ADE7878 as they decouple high frequency  
noises, while the uF ones need to be placed in close proximity.  
The crystal load capacitors need to be placed closest to the  
ADE7878, while the crystal can be placed in close proximity.  
LAYOUT GUIDELINES  
Figure 95 presents a basic schematic of the ADE7878 together  
with its surrounding circuitry: decoupling capacitors at pins  
VDD, AVDD, DVDD and REFin/out, the 16.384 MHz crystal and  
its load capacitors. The rest of the pins are dependent on the  
particular application and are not shown here. The ADE7854,

shown in Figure 98. CL1 and CL2 denote the capacitances of the  
ceramic capacitors attached to the crystal pins, whereas CP1 and  
CP2 denote the parasitic capacitances on those pins.  
The recommended typical value of total capacitance at each  
clock pin, CLKIN and CLKOUT, is 24 pF, which means that  
Total Capacitance = CP1 + CL1 = CP2 + CL2 = 24 pF  
Crystal manufacturer data sheets specify the load capacitance  
value. A total capacitance of 24 pF, per clock pin, is recommended;  
therefore, select a crystal with a 12 pF load capacitance. In  
addition, when selecting the ceramic capacitors, CL1 and CL2,  
the parasitic capacitances, CP1 and CP2, on the crystal pins of  
the IC must be taken into account. Thus, the values of CL1 and  
CL2 must be based on the following expression:  
CL1 = CL2 = 2 × Crystal Load Capacitance CP1  
where CP1 = CP2.  
For example, if a 12 pF crystal is chosen and the parasitic  
capacitances on the clock pins are CP1 = CP2 = 2 pF, the ceramic  
capacitors that must be used in the crystal circuit are CL1 = CL2  
= 22 pF.  
Figure 96. ADE7878 Top Layer Printed Circuit Board  
The exposed pad of the ADE7878 is soldered to an equivalent  
pad on the PCB. The AGND and DGND traces of the ADE7878  
are then routed directly into the PCB pad.  
The Evaluation Board EVAL-ADE7878EBZ uses the crystal  
VM6-1D11C12-TR-16.384MHZ (maximum drive level 1 mW;  
maximum ESR 20 Ω; load capacitance 12 pF). It is recommended  
that the same crystal, or a crystal with similar specifications, be  
selected. Lower values of ESR and load capacitance and higher  
values of drive level capability of the crystal are preferable.  
The bottom layer is composed mainly of a ground plane  
surrounding as much as possible the crystal traces.  
It is also recommended that a 5 Mꢀ resistor be attached in  
parallel to the crystal, as shown in Figure 98.

FUNCTIONALITY ISSUES  
Table 25. Offset RMS Registers Cannot be Set to Negative Values [er001, Version = 2 Silicon]  
When the AIRMSOS, AVRMSOS, BIRMSOS, BVRMSOS, CIRMSOS, CVRMSOS, and NIRMSOS registers are set to a negative  
value, for sufficiently small inputs, the argument of the square root used in the rms data path may become negative. In  
this case, the corresponding AIRMS, AVRMS, BIRMS, BVRMS, CIRMS, or CVRMS rms register is automatically set to 0.  
Background  
Negative values for the AIRMSOS, AVRMSOS, BIRMSOS, BVRMSOS, CIRMSOS, CVRMSOS, and NIRMSOS registers are not  
supported in the silicon version identified by the version register being equal to 2.  
Issue  
Do not use negative values for the AIRMSOS, AVRMSOS, BIRMSOS, BVRMSOS, CIRMSOS, CVRMSOS, and NIRMSOS  
registers.

Data Sheet  
Table 26. Values Written to the CF1DEN, CF2DEN, CF3DEN, SAGLVL, and ZXTOUT Registers May Not Be Immediately Used By  
ADE7854, ADE7858, ADE7868, ADE7878 [er002, Version = 2 Silicon]  
Background  
Usually, the CF1DEN, CF2DEN, CF3DEN, SAGLVL, and ZXTOUT registers initialize immediately after power-up or after a  
hardware/software reset. After the RUN register is set to 1, the energy-to-frequency converter (for CF1DEN, CF2DEN, and CF3DEN), the  
phase voltage sag detector (for SAGLVL), and the zero-crossing timeout circuit (for ZXTOUT) use these values immediately.  
Issue  
After the CF1DEN register is initialized with a new value after power-up or a hardware/software reset, the new value may be  
delayed and, therefore, not immediately available for use by the energy-to-frequency converter. It is, however, used by the  
converter after the first high-to-low transition is triggered at t the CF1 pin using the CF1DEN default value (0x0).  
CF2DEN and CF3DEN registers present similar behavior at the CF2 and CF3 pins, respectively. CF1DEN, CF2DEN and CF3DEN  
above behavior has been corrected in Version = 4 silicon.  
After the SAGLVL register is initialized with a new value after power-up or a hardware or software reset, the new value may be  
delayed and not available for immediate use by the phase voltage sag detector. However, it is used by the detector after at least  
one phase voltage rises above 10% of the full-scale input at the phase voltage ADCs.  
After the ZXTOUT register is initialized with a new value after power-up or a hardware or software reset, the new value may be  
delayed and not available for immediate use by the zero-crossing timeout circuit. However, the circuit does use the new value  
after at least one phase voltage rises above 10% of the full-scale input at the phase voltage ADCs.  
Workaround  
If the behavior outlined in the Issue row does not conflict with the meter specification, then the new values of the CF1DEN,  
CF2DEN, CF3DEN, SAGLVL, and ZXTOUT registers may be written one time only.  
If the behavior is not acceptable, write the new value into the CF1DEN, CF2DEN, and CF3DEN registers eight consecutive times.  
This ensures the probability of the new value not being considered immediately by the energy-to-frequency converter becomes  
lower than 0.2 ppm.  
Usually, at least one of the phase voltages is greater than 10% of full scale after power-up or after a hardware/software reset. If  
this cannot be guaranteed, then the SAGLVL and ZXTOUT registers should also be written eight consecutive times to reduce the  
probability of not being considered immediately by the phase voltage sag detector and zero-crossing timeout circuit.  
Related Issues None.  
Table 27. The Read-Only RMS Registers May Show the Wrong Value [er003, Version = 2 Silicon]  
Background  
The read-only rms registers (AVRMS, BVRMS, CVRMS, AIRMS, BIRMS, CIRMS, and NIRMS) can be read without restrictions at  
any time.  
Issue  
The fixed function DSP of ADE7854, ADE7858, ADE7868, and ADE7878 computes all the powers and rms values in a loop  
with a period of 125 µs (8 kHz frequency). If two rms registers are accessed (read) consecutively, the value of the second  
register may be corrupted. Consequently, the apparent power computed during that 125 µs cycle is also corrupted. The  
rms calculation recovers in the next 125 µs cycle, and all the rms and apparent power values compute correctly.  
The issue appears independent of the communication type, SPI or I2C, when the time between the start of two  
consecutive rms readings is lower than 265 µs. The issue affects only the rms registers; all of the other registers of  
ADE7854, ADE7858, ADE7868, and ADE7878 can be accessed without any restrictions.  
Workaround  
The rms registers can be read one at a time with at least 265 µs between the start of the readings. DREADY interrupt at the  
IRQ0  
pin can be used to time one rms register reading every three consecutive DREADY interrupts. This ensures 375 µs  
between the start of the rms readings.  
Alternatively, the rms registers can be read interleaved with readings of other registers that are not affected by this  
restriction as long as the time between the start of two consecutive rms register readings is 265 μs.  
None.

Table 28. To Obtain Best Accuracy Performance, Internal Setting Must Be Changed [er004, Version = 2 Silicon]  
Internal default settings provide best accuracy performance for ADE7854, ADE7858, ADE7868, and ADE7878.  
It was found that if a different setting is used, the accuracy performance can be improved.  
To enable a new setting for this internal register, execute two consecutive 8-bit register write operations:  
The first write operation: 0xAD is written to Address 0xE7FE.  
Background  
Issue  
Workaround  
The second write operation: 0x01 is written to Address 0xE7E2.  
The write operations must be executed consecutively without any other read/write operation in between. As a  
verification that the value was captured correctly, a simple 8-bit read of Address 0xE7E2 should show the 0x01 value.

Background  
Usually, the SAGLVL and ZXTOUT registers initialize immediately after power-up or after a hardware/software reset. After  
the run register is set to 1, the phase voltage sag detector (for SAGLVL), and the zero-crossing timeout circuit (for ZXTOUT)  
use these values immediately.  
Issue

and voltages: IAWV, VAWV, IBWV, VBWV, ICWV, and VCWV, and one 32-bit word equal to 0.  
For the ADE7868 and ADE7878, HSDC transmits seven instantaneous values of currents and  
voltages: IAWV, VAWV, IBWV, VBWV, ICWV, VCWV, and INWV.  
10 = for the ADE7854, HSDC transmits six instantaneous values of phase powers: AVA, BVA,  
CVA, AWATT, BWATT, and CWATT and three 32-bit words equal to 0. For the ADE7858,  
ADE7868, and ADE7878, HSDC transmits nine instantaneous values of phase powers: AVA,  
BVA, CVA, AWATT, BWATT, CWATT, AVAR, BVAR, and CVAR.  
11 = reserved. If set, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 behave as if HXFER[1:0] = 00.

EXTREFEN  
0
When this bit is 0, it signifies that the internal voltage reference is used in the ADCs.  
When this bit is 1, an external reference is connected to the Pin 17 REFIN/OUT  
.
I2C_LOCK  
0
When this bit is 0, the SS/HSA pin can be toggled three times to activate the SPI port. If I2C is  
the active serial port, this bit must be set to 1 to lock it in. From this moment on, spurious  
toggling of the SS/HSA pin and an eventual switch into using the SPI port is no longer possible. If  
SPI is the active serial port, any write to CONFIG2 register locks the port. From this moment  
on, a switch into using I2C port is no longer possible. Once locked, the serial port choice is  
maintained when the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 change PSMx power modes.
