AFE3010 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) With Self-Test and Neutral-Ground Fault  
Detection  
1 Features  
3 Description  
The AFE3010 is a precision, low-power, Ground Fault  
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) controller used for detecting  
ground fault leakage paths in electrical circuits. This  
device is a single IC solution that continuously  
monitors an electrical circuit for multiple fault  
conditions to verify that the system is operating  
correctly.  
1
Single-chip GFCI controller to aid in the design of  
UL-943 compliant systems  
Built-in self-test to detect end-of-life, blink the  
LED, and/ or trip the load switch  
Detect ground fault leakage path, and trip the  
load switch  
Detect neutral-ground leakage path, and trip  
the load switch  
In addition to a ground fault leakage detection, the  
AFE3010 can detect a grounded neutral condition  
which can also lead to a harmful shock from a  
Protection against single-component failure  
Dual VDD and GND pins for redundancy  
Integrated noise filter to prevent false trips  
connected appliance. The device implements  
a
unique closed-loop grounded neutral detection  
scheme that eliminates the need for component  
resonance tuning, resulting in optimized system  
development time. Periodic self-test is performed  
once in every 180 cycles of the AC power line to  
ensure all the components related to ground fault  
control system are working properly. In case of any  
component failure the device enables an LED light,  
and/ or trips a solenoid to open the load switch. In  
applications where an LED light indicator is not  
needed, the ALARM pin can be configured as a  
secondary SCR driver to drive an additional solenoid  
for redundancy purpose.  
Simultaneously protects against HOT to GND and  
neutral to GND faults  
Adjustable fault current thresholds through  
external feedback resistors  
Fast response time  
150 ms for ±5mA ground fault current  
85 ms for ±10-mA ground fault current  
40 ms for ±30-mA ground fault current  
10 ms for ±50-mA ground fault current  
Onboard shunt regulator powers the system  
through passives  
The AFE3010 integrates shunt and LDO regulators to  
directly power from an AC line through a diode bridge  
and passive components.  
Supports 120-V/ 60-Hz or 220-V/ 50-Hz systems  
Operating temperature range: –40 ºC to 105 ºC  
The AFE3010 offers flexible configurable options to  
implement robust application specific protection  
schemes in different end-equipments such as  
electrical receptacles, circuit breakers, and so forth.

7 Detailed Description  
7.1 Overview  
The AFE3010 is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) controller to detect the presence of leakage paths that  
could lead to potential injuries from electric shock. This device is designed to develop UL-943 compliant system  
like a GFCI receptacle or circuit-breaker. The self-test functionality ensures that the circuit is operating correctly  
prior to an actual fault event. A GFCI device relies on the imbalance of differential current through the  
transformer to detect a ground fault. The presence of a neutral-ground leakage path can potentially mask some  
of this imbalance through the transformer during an actual ground fault event, resulting in safety hazard for the  
downstream equipments connected to the GFCI unit. The AFE3010 employs an unique closed-loop neutral-  
ground leakage detection scheme to alleviate this safety hazard. The precision, low-noise amplifier along with the  
threshold detection filters in the AFE3010 ensure accurate detection of fault events while minimizing unintended  
false alerts.

7.3 Feature Description  
7.3.1 Powering The AFE3010  
Figure 7 shows the recommended components and configurations to develop a GFCI system using the  
AFE3010. The AFE3010 features an internal 20-V shunt regulator that connects to an external rectifier output  
through limiting resistors R1 and R2. The two separate VDD and GND pins offer redundancy during single  
component failure events in GFCI systems. An internal 5-V rail powers the majority of the internal circuitry, and  
drives all the signal pins except the NG_OUT, PH, and SCR_TST pins. The NG_OUT pin is referenced to the 20-  
V VDD through an internal reverse blocking diode inside the device.

7.3.2 Sensing Amplifier  
The AFE3010 employs a current-feedback chopper amplifier topology to sense a wide range of fault currents  
with high precision. The current-feedback topology allows the device to maintain consistent gain across the wide  
fault current limits. Hence no degradation of accuracy is experienced at large fault current measurements. The  
device REF, FB, and OUT pins are the noninverting, inverting, and output terminals of the amplifier, respectively.  
The user access of all three pins helps system designers develop their own current sensing thresholds and  
bandwidths by optimizing the corresponding passive component values.  
7.3.3 Noise Filter  
As shown in Figure 8, the AFE3010 uses a unique 2-stage filter architecture to provide robust protection against  
false trips. A series of internal comparators register the fault current thresholds at the output of the sensing  
amplifier. Once a valid fault threshold is detected, the filter searches for a pre-determined pattern of fault  
occurrences in the consecutive cycles. If the specific pattern is detected, the filter will enable the SCR driver to  
open the power line switch. As shown in Table 1, the AFE3010 response time is faster than the UL943 mandated  
requirements.

7.3.4 ALARM (LED) Driver  
The AFE3010 ALARM pin can be used to drive an LED or a buzzer. Under normal system operation the ALARM  
output remains low. During active operation, the ALARM signal generates a 3-KHz signal for the duration of  
positive half of the power cycle and remains low for the duration of the negative half power cycle. Figure 9 shows  
the ALARM signal scheme over a 60-Hz power line.

The AFE3010 monitors power line signal phase at any given time through the PH and SCR_TST pins. Both pins  
are clamped to VDD through internal clamping diodes. The PH pin is connected directly to the HOT power line.  
This enables the device to monitor the power signal instantaneously. Phase measurement is critical for faster  
and accurate response to system fault conditions. The SCR_TST pin measures the phase after the rectifying  
diode.  
7.3.6 SCR Control  
The AFE3010 triggers an external SCR through the device SCR pin during a load fault event or self-test fail  
event. This SCR trigger event activates a solenoid to trip the load switch disconnecting the load.

7.3.7 Self-Test Function  
The AFE3010 performs two different types of self-tests: periodic self-test and continuous self-test.  
7.3.7.1 Periodic Self-Test  
At system power up, the self-test starts after 60 cycles of power line signal, and retests within 60 cycles if the first  
self-test fails. Five consecutive self-test fails drive the SCR and assert the ALARM signal blinking at 1-second  
intervals (for 60-Hz systems). After the first self-test pass, the device fires ALARM for 250-ms period to indicate  
the successful pass of the first self-test. During normal operating conditions, the self-test repeats every 180  
cycles. Figure 10 shows the periodic self-test sequences and decision blocks. The device requires one cycle  
from the AC power line to complete the periodic self-tests listed below:  
1. Ground Fault Test: the AFE3010 generates a fault current through the FT pin. The device reads a test pass if  
the AFE3010 detects the fault current through the transformer. If the fault current is not detected, the device  
reads a test fail. This fail event triggers another self-test within next 60 cycles. After five consecutive fails, the  
AFE3010 fires the SCR and sets the ALARM blinking at 1-s intervals (for 60-Hz systems). The ground fault  
test covers the integrity check of the transformer, fault current generator components, feedback resistors,  
and the AFE3010 fault detection circuits.  
2. SCR Integrity Test: The AFE3010 performs SCR integrity test after completing the ground fault test. The  
device induces a SCR anode signal transition with the help of SCR_TST pin. If the SCR anode signal low  
transition is not detected, the AFE3010 reads a test fail. This fail event triggers another self-test within next  
60 cycles. After five consecutive fails it fires the SCR and sets ALARM blinking at 1-s intervals (for 60-Hz  
systems).  
7.3.7.2 Continuous Self-Test  
The AFE3010 performs the following continuous mode self-tests. If any of these tests fail, the device does not  
wait to perform another self-test. Rather, the AFE3010 immediately fires the SCR and sets the ALARM blinking  
as 1-s intervals (for 60-Hz systems).  
1. Open Solenoid Test: The AFE3010 checks for transition of AC line signal at the PH and SCR_TST pins. If  
the device does not detect a transition of the line signal at PH or SCR_TST pins for approximately 100 ms,  
then the device reads a self-test fail.  
2. Diode Bridge Test: if a diode is shorted in the diode bridge rectifier, the device is able to detect the variation  
in supply current from the diode bridge. This detection is considered a self-test fail, and the AFE3010 fires  
the SCR and sets the ALARM blinking at 1-s intervals (for 60-Hz systems).  
3. Amplifier Short/ Open: The device monitors for sustained fault current conditions, even after the fault current  
has been detected and SCR has fired. The primary purpose of this self-test is to detect a single-point failure  
with the amplifier signal pins and associated components. If a failure is detected, the device fires SCR one  
more time and LED starts blinking. In the event the load switch doesn't open after SCR is fired, this self-test  
recognizes a failure and starts the LED blinking.

7.4.2 ALARM Modes to Drive LED  
The AFE3010 supports three different modes when the ALARM pin is used as an LED driver:  
1. Successful power-up indication: The LED turns on for 250-ms when the first periodic self-test is completed  
after power up. On a 60-Hz system, this event occurs approximately one second after power up.  
2. LED blinking due to self-test fail: In case of a self-test fail, the ALARM pin sets the LED in blinking mode a  
frequency of 0.5-Hz. In this state, the LED is on for one second and off for one second. When the ALARM  
pin goes into blinking mode, a system power recycle or a successful self-test pass through the PTT press will  
deactivate the ALARM signal.  
3. LED on through the SW_OPEN pin: If the SW_OPEN pin is low, the LED will turn on without 0.5-Hz blinking.  
During a self-test fail event, the device overrides the SW_OPEN state and puts the LED blinking mode at 0.5  
Hz.

8.1.2 ALARM and RESET Function With SW_OPEN  
The SW_OPEN pin can be used as a reset signal to the device through a mechanical assembly or a micro  
controller. When the SW_OPEN remains low longer than the debounce time td2, the device fires the SCR. For  
applications that require a reset without the SCR fire, keep the SW_OPEN low state for shorter duration (in  
between 55 ms to 75 ms) before transition to high state. The ALARM (LED) function is also modified using the  
SW_OPEN function. Connect a noise-blocking capacitor to the SW_OPEN pin if this function is not needed.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
The following procedure details how to design a GFCI system with the AFE3010. The procedure is not intended  
to represent all of the validation required for a GFCI system to comply with the necessary regulations. The main  
goals are to tune the ground fault trip level and neutral-to-ground (N-G) detection of the system.  
Table 5 presents the key parameters needed for the components in Figure 15. Table 5 also provides brief  
explanations of components and parameters. Component voltage ratings are dependent upon either the 20-V  
internal shunt regulator, the internal 5-V rail, or by the line voltage itself. Note that while Table 5 shows tested  
and working values, some components could be optimized further to reduce necessary power and voltage  
ratings depending upon the system requirements.

WARNING  
When evaluating this device, implement high-voltage safety precaution and  
procedures.  
1. The first step in the design of a system with AFE3010 is to determine the correct transformer orientation and  
coil connections. The AFE3010 internal detection scheme requires the fault waveforms to have a specific  
polarity to the Hot-to-Neutral line voltage. The two rules the design must follow are:  
a. The amplifier output voltage (VOUT) must be approximately 180° out of phase with the Hot-Neutral line  
voltage when line voltage connects to a GFCI unit with normal polarity. Thus, when line is connected to  
system with reverse polarity, the VOUT signal must be in-phase with line voltage. The amplifier's polarity  
is determined by the value of C3, the connection of amplifier inputs (REF and FB) to the 1000-turn coil,  
and by the direction of the line wires through the transformer core. Refer to Figure 17 for the correct  
waveform. Note that normal line polarity means that the Hot and neutral nodes of the source are  
connected correctly to the Hot and Neutral input connectors of the system, respectively, which means the  
PH pin and D4 are also connected to Hot as shown in Figure 15.  
b. The N-G pulse on VOUT when there is a N-G fault must look like Figure 18. The N-G pulse measured on  
VOUT should first increase above 2.5 V and then decrease below 2.5 V. The second, downward pulse  
should be greater in amplitude and energy than the initial positive pulse. This rule should be true  
regardless of line polarity. N-G pulse polarity is determined by the connection of NG_OUT and GND pins  
to the 200-turn coil and by the polarity of the line wires through the transformer core.  
2. Populate the board with the recommended values shown in Table 5.  
3. Tune the amplifier's ground fault threshold (trip point).  
a. Set up the system with an adjustable Hot-to-ground (H-G) fault load and an ammeter in-series to  
measure the fault (or leakage) current.  
b. Adjust the fault load so that the ammeter reads < 3 mA RMS of fault current.  
c. Power off and then power on the system to reset any possible trips by the system.  
d. Slowly increase the fault current until the AFE3010 SCR driver is pulsed and trips the solenoid. Note the  
ammeter reading once the system trips.  
e. If the system trips too early (< 4.5 mA RMS), then disconnect the system from power and decrease R7.  
f. If the system trips too late (> 5.5 mA RMS), then disconnect the system from power and increase R7.  
4. Tune the system's Neutral-to-ground (N-G) detection.  
a. Set up the system according to Figure 16. Note that this initial design process does not require testing N-  
G detection with H-G fault or load currents.

b. Choose the RN and RG pair that creates the largest total resistance, as this is the worst-case for the  
AFE3010's N-G detection. In this procedure, the total N-G resistance to test is 2 Ω.  
c. Using the relays S1 and S3, switch in the N-G fault and check if the system trips. Note that either relay  
may be closed first.  
d. If the system successfully trips, then re-test the detection over temperature.  
e. If the system successfully detects N-G fault overtemperature, then the first-pass component optimization  
is complete.  
f. If the system fails to detect the N-G, then consider the following component modifications:  
i. Adjust R6. Decreasing R6 has shown to increase the N-G pulse sensed by amplifier with minimal  
effect on amplifier gain.  
ii. Increase R7. The trip point must be checked again because the amplifier gain will increase.  
iii. Reduce the NG_OUT resistor R5. Note that there is a lower bound to the value of R5, depending on  
the impedance of the 200-turn coil. R5 helps limit current from any activated internal ESD cells  
during the inductive kickback on the NG_OUT pin. If R5 must be decreased, consider adding a  
Schottky diode at the NG_OUT pin to clamp the NG_OUT voltage above the Absolute Maximum  
Rating of –0.3 V.  
iv. Add a small capacitor from the REF pin to GND. Values between 100 pF and 300 pF are acceptable.  
5. Successful operation of the AFE3010 can be seen with the successful passing of the internal self-tests. A  
successful self-test can be observed with the ALARM LED (D3) blinking once one second after device power  
up.  
6. Perform the rest of the testing specified in the UL-943 standard.

8.3 What to Do and What Not to Do  
Do:  
Check that the system can pass its own periodic self-test before performing system testing and  
characterization.  
Make R8 small enough so the AFE3010 can pass a self-test even when there is some small leakage current  
and the line is connected with reverse polarity.  
Make R5 large enough so that the NG_OUT driver current does not burn or break the 200-turn coil.  
Make R5 large enough so that the NG_OUT pin voltage does not drop below –0.3 V or does not sink more 5  
mA of current during inductive kickback.  
Always re-test the trip point and N-G detection whenever making changes to the system component values.  
Place filter capacitors as close a possible to the device pins, especially for the amplifier, VDD, PH, PTT, and  
SW_OPEN pins.

9 Power Supply Recommendations  
It is important to choose proper resistors and capacitors for the VDD pins. Sufficient decoupling capacitance is  
required to keep the internal 20-V shunt regulator stable during events in which the AFE3010 is driving loads with  
the ALARM, SCR, or NG_OUT pins. The values recommended in the typical application schematic and Table 5  
have shown to maintain a stable VDD even during events when diodes in D1 rectifier were shorted. Additionally,  
the VDD regulator maintained sufficient voltage even when one of the current limiting resistors (R1 through R4)  
was disconnected. As a general rule, do not let the VDD regulator drop below 8 V during board failure events, or  
else the device could reset. If the capacitance at VDD is too large, then the device takes longer to power up,  
which adds to trip times when device is powered up with a fault current. The recommended values shown in  
Table 5 have shown to yield power-up trip times compliant with the UL 943 standard.  
The current-limiting resistors for VDD (R1 through R4) should have enough resistance to reduce power  
dissipation, but should not be large enough to affect power-on trip times. To determine the maximum total power  
rating needed by these resistors, calculate the maximum instantaneous supply current (IVDD) needed by summing  
the maximum quiescent current and the maximum ALARM and SCR driver currents. The NG_OUT driver current  
has shown minimal effect on VDD regulation.  
Place the decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the VDD pins to generate a short, low-impedance return  
current path to ground.

10 Layout  
10.1 Layout Guidelines  
The layout of the AFE3010 and its surrounding circuit is critical to maintaining performance and minimizing  
unwanted noise coupling. Follow these layout guidelines:  
Place all capacitors as close as possible to their respective pins or nodes.  
Route the signal traces from the 1000-turn coil to the amplifier as a differential pair.  
Provide low-impedance ground connections throughout the board, especially between the ground pin of the  
rectifier (D1) and the ground pin of the AFE3010.  
Connect the bottom AFE3010 thermal pad to board ground to help with noise immunity.
