The Nonlinear Error is defined by the following formula:
eNL%=[(Error at X-Error at Ib) / (1+Error at Ib )]*100%
When V(v)= ±110mV, cosϕ=1, over the arrange of 5%Ib to 800%Ib, the nonlinear error should be
less than 0.1%.

3) Positive And Negative Real Power Error
When the positive real power and the negative real power is equal, and V(v) =±110mV, the test
current is Ib, then the positive and negative real power error can be achieved by the following
formula:
eNP%=|[(eN%-eP%)/(1+eP%)]*100%|
Where: eP% is the Positive Real Power Error, eN% is the Negative Real Power Error.

4) Phase Error Between Channels
The HPF (High Pass Filter) in Channel 1 has a phase lead response. To offset this phase response
and equalize the phase response between channels, a phase correction network is also placed in
Channel 1. The phase correction network matches the phase to within ±0.1°over a range of 45
Hz to 65 Hz and ±0.2°over a range 40Hz to 1KHz.
5) Gain Error
The gain error of the BL6502A is defined as the difference between the measured output
frequency (minus the offset) and the ideal output frequency. It is measured with a gain of 1 in
channel V1. The difference is expressed as a percentage of the ideal frequency. The ideal
frequency is obtained from the BL6502A transfer function.
6) Gain Error Match
The gain error match is defined as the gain error (minus the offset) obtained when switching
between a gain of 1 and a gain of 2, 8, or 16. It is expressed as a percentage of the output
frequency obtained under a gain of 1. This gives the gain error observed when the gain selection is
changed from 1 to 2, 8 or 16.
7) Power Supply Monitor
BL6502A has the on-chip Power Supply monitoring The BL6502A will remain in a reset
condition until the supply voltage on VDD reaches 4 V. If the supply falls below 4 V, the
BL6502A will also be reset and no pulses will be issued on F1, F2 and CF.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Principle of Energy Measure
In energy measure, the power information varying with time is calculated by a direct
multiplication of the voltage signal and the current signal. Assume that the current signal and the
voltage signal are cosine functions; Umax, Imax are the peak values of the voltage signal and the
current signal; ωis the angle frequency of the input signals; the phase difference between the
current signal and the voltage signal is expressed asφ. Then the power is given as follows:
p (t ) = U max cos( wt ) × I max cos( wt + ϕ )
If φ=0:
p (t ) =
U max I max
[1 + cos(2 wt )]
2
If φ≠0:
p (t ) = U max cos(ωt ) × I max cos(ωt + Φ )
= U max cos(ωt ) × [I max cos(ωt ) cos(Φ ) + I max sin(ωt ) sin(Φ )]
U max I max
[1 + cos(2ωt )] cos(Φ ) + U max I max cos(ωt ) sin(ωt ) sin(Φ )

P(t) is called as the instantaneous power signal. The ideal p(t) consists of the dc component and ac
component whose frequency is 2ω. The dc component is called as the average active power, that
is:

cos(ϕ )

The average active power is related to the cosine value of the phase difference between the voltage
signal and the current signal. This cosine value is called as Power Factor (PF) of the two channel
signals.

Figure1.
The Effect of phase
When the signal phase difference between the voltage and current channels is more than 90°, the
average active power is negative. It indicates the user is using the electrical energy reversely.
Operation Process
In BL6502A, the two ADCs digitize the voltage signals from the current and voltage transducers.
These ADCs are 16-bit second order sigma-delta with an oversampling rate of 900 kHz. This
analog input structure greatly simplifies transducer interfacing by providing a wide dynamic range
for direct connection to the transducer and also simplifying the antialiasing filter design. A
programmable gain stage in the current channel further facilitates easy transducer interfacing. A
high pass filter in the current channel removes any dc component from the current signal. This
eliminates any inaccuracies in the real power calculation due to offsets in the voltage or current
signals.
The real power calculation is derived from the instantaneous power signal. The instantaneous
power signal is generated by a direct multiplication of the current and voltage signals. In order to
extract the real power component (i.e., the dc component), the instantaneous power signal is
low-pass filtered. Figure 2 illustrates the instantaneous real power signal and shows how the real
power information can be extracted by low-pass filtering the instantaneous power signal. This
scheme correctly calculates real power for nonsinusoidal current and voltage waveforms at all
power factors. All signal processing is carried out in the digital domain for superior stability over
temperature and time.

pulses. The output frequency is therefore proportional to the average real power. This average real
power information can, in turn, be accumulated (e.g., by a counter) to generate real energy
information. Because of its high output frequency and hence shorter integration time, the CF
output is proportional to the instantaneous real power. This is useful for system calibration
purposes that would take place under steady load conditions.
Offset Effect
The dc offsets come from the input signals and the forepart analog circuitry.
Assume that the input dc offsets on the voltage channel and the current channel are Uoffset and Ioffset,
and PF equals 1 (φ=0).
p (t ) = [U cos(ωt ) + U offset ] × [ I cos(ωt + Φ ) + I offset ]

Figure 3.
Effect of Offset
As can be seen, for each phase input, if there are simultaneous dc offsets on the voltage channel
and the current channel, these offsets contribute a dc component for the result of multiplication.
That is, the offsets bring the error of Uoffset×Ioffset to the final average real power. Additionally,
there exists the component of Uoffset×I+U×Ioffset at the frequency of ω. The dc error on the real
power will result in measure error, and the component brought to the frequency of ω will also
affect the output of the average active power when the next low-pass filter can’t restrain the ac
component very completely.
When the offset on the one of the voltage and the current channels is filtered, for instance, the
offset on the current channel is removed; the result of multiplication is improved greatly. There is
no dc error, and the additional component at the frequency of ω is also decreased.
When the offsets on the voltage channel and the current channel are filtered respectively by two
high-pass filters, the component at the frequency of ω (50Hz) is subdued, and the stability of the
output signal is advanced. Moreover, in this case, the phases of the voltage channel and the current
channel can be matched completely, and the performance when PF equal 0.5C or 0.5L is improved.
In BL6502A, this structure is selected. Though it is given in the system specification that the
ripple of the output signal is less than 0.1%, in real measure of BL6502A, the calibration output is
very stable, and the ripple of the typical output signal is less than 0.05%.
Additionally, this structure can ensure the frequency characteristic. When the input signal changes
from 45Hz to 65Hz, the complete machine error due to the frequency change is less than 0.1%. In

such, the meter designed for the 50Hz input signal can be used on the transmission-line system of
electric power whose frequency is 60Hz.
VOLTAGE CHANNEL INPUT
The output of the line voltage transducer is connected to the BL6502A at this analog input. As
Figure4 shows that channel V2 is a fully differential voltage input. The maximum peak differential
signal on Channel 2 is ±660mV. Figure4 illustrates the maximum signal levels that can be

Voltage Channels
Voltage Channel must be driven from a common-mode voltage, i.e., the differential voltage signal
on the input must be referenced to a common mode (usually GND). The analog inputs of the
BL6502A can be driven with common-mode voltages of up to 100 mV with respect to GND.
However, best results are achieved using a common mode equal to GND.
Figure5 shows two typical connections for Channel V2. The first option uses a PT (potential
transformer) to provide complete isolation from the mains voltage. In the second option, the
BL6502A is biased around the neutral wire and a resistor divider is used to provide a voltage
signal that is proportional to the line voltage. Adjusting the ratio of Ra and Rb is also a convenient
way of carrying out a gain calibration on the meter.

Current Channels
The analog inputs V1A, V1B and V1N have same maximum signal level restrictions as V2P and
V2N. However, Channel 1 has a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with user-selectable gains of
1, 2, 8, or 16. These gains facilitate easy transducer interfacing. Figure illustrates the maximum
signal levels on V1A, V1B, and V1N. The maximum differential voltage is ±660 mV divided by
the gain selection. Again, the differential voltage signal on the inputs must be referenced to a
common mode, e.g., GND. The maximum common-mode signal is ±100 mV.
Figure7 shows a typical connection diagram for Channel V1. Here the analog inputs are being
used to monitor both the phase and neutral currents. Because of the large potential difference
between the phase and neutral, two CTs (current transformers) must be used to provide the
isolation. The CT turns ratio and burden resistor (Rb) are selected to give a peak differential
voltage of ±660 mV/gain.

BL6502A
Single Phase Energy Meter IC
with Integrated Oscillator
FAULT DETECTION
The BL6502A incorporates a novel fault detection scheme that warns of fault conditions and
allows the BL6502A to continue accurate billing during a fault event. The BL6502A does this by
continuously monitoring both the phase and neutral (return) currents. A fault is indicated when
these currents differ by more than 12.5%. However, even during a fault, the output pulse rate on
F1 and F2 is generated using the larger of the two currents. Because the BL6502A looks for a
difference between the signals on V1A and V1B, it is important that both current transducers are
closely matched. On power-up the output pulse rate of the BL6502A is proportional to the product
of the signals on Channel V1A and Voltage Channel. If there is a difference of greater than 12.5%
between V1A and V1B on power-up, the fault indicator (FAULT) will go active after about one
second. In addition, if V1B is greater than V1A the BL6502A will select V1B as the input. The
fault detection is automatically disabled when the voltage signal on Channel 1 is less than 0.5% of
the full-scale input range. This will eliminate false detection of a fault due to noise at light loads.
If V1A is the active current input (i.e., is being used for billing), and the signal on V1B (inactive
input) falls by more than 12.5% of V1A, the fault indicator will go active. Both analog inputs are
filtered and averaged to prevent false triggering of this logic output. As a consequence of the
filtering, there is a time delay of approximately one second on the logic output FAULT after the
fault event. The FAULT logic output is independent of any activity on outputs F1 or F2. Figure 8
illustrates one condition under which FAULT becomes active. Since V1A is the active input and it
is still greater than V1B, billing is maintained on VIA, i.e., no swap to the V1B input will occur.
V1A remains the active input.

Figure 9 illustrates another fault condition. If V1A is the active input (i.e., is being used for billing)
and the voltage signal on V1B (inactive input) becomes greater than 114% of V1A, the FAULT
indicator goes active, and there is also a swap over to the V1B input. The analog input V1B has

swap. V1A will not swap back to being the active channel until V1A becomes greater than 114%
of V1B. However, the FAULT indicator will become inactive as soon as V1A is within 12.5% of
V1B. This threshold eliminates potential chatter between V1A and V1B.

Power Supply Monitor
The BL6502A contains an on-chip power supply monitor. If the supply is less than 4V±5% then
the BL6502A will go in an inactive state, i.e. no energy will be accumulated when the supply
voltage is below 4V. This is useful to ensure correct device operation at power up and during
power down. The power supply monitor has built-in hysteresis and filtering. This gives a high
degree of immunity to false triggering due to noisy supplies.
The trigger level is nominally set at 4V, and the tolerance on this trigger level is about ±5%. The
power supply and decoupling for the part should be such that the ripple at VDD does not exceed
5V±5% as specified for normal operation.
SLiM technology
The BL6502A adopts the technology of SLiM (Smart Low current Management) to decrease the
static power greatly. The static power of BL6502A is about 12mW. It is half of the previous
product BL0951 (about 25mW ).This technology also decreases the request for power supply
design.
BL65XX series products used 0.35um CMOS process. The reliability and consistency are
advanced.
OPERATION MODE
Transfer Function
The BL6502A calculates the product of two voltage signals (on Channel 1 and Channel 2) and
then low-pass filters this product to extract real power information. This real power information is
then converted to a frequency. The frequency information is output on F1 and F2 in the form of
active low pulses. The pulse rate at these outputs is relatively low. It means that the frequency at
these outputs is generated from real power information accumulated over a relatively long period
of time. The result is an output frequency that is proportional to the average real power. The
average of the real power signal is implicit to the digital-to-frequency conversion. The output
frequency or pulse rate is related to the input voltage signals by the following equation.
Freq =
3.5 × V (v) × V (i ) × gain × FZ

VREF
Freq——Output frequency on F1 and F2 (Hz)
V(v)——Differential rms voltage signal on Channel 1 (volts)
V(i)——Differential rms voltage signal on Channel 2 (volts)
Gain——1, 2, 8 or 16, depending on the PGA gain selection, using logic inputs G0 and G1
Vref——The reference voltage (2.50 V±8%) (volts)

Frequency Output CF
The pulse output CF (Calibration Frequency) is intended for use during calibration. The output
pulse rate on CF can be up to 128 times the pulse rate on F1 and F2. The following Table shows
how the two frequencies are related, depending on the states of the logic inputs S0, S1 and SCF.

Because of its relatively high pulse rate, the frequency at this logic output is proportional to the
instantaneous real power. As is the case with F1 and F2, the frequency is derived from the output
of the low-pass filter after multiplication. However, because the output frequency is high, this real
power information is accumulated over a much shorter time. Hence less averaging is carried out in
the digital-to-frequency conversion. With much less averaging of the real power signal, the CF
output is much more responsive to power fluctuations.
GAIN SELECTION
By select the digital input G0 and G1 voltage (5V or 0V), we can adjust the gain of current
channel. We can see that while increasing the gain, the input dynamic range is decreasing.

ANALOG INPUT RANGE
The maximum peak differential signal on Voltage Channel is ± 660 mV, and the common-mode
voltage is up to 100 mV with respect to GND.
The analog inputs V1A, V1B, and V1N have the same maximum signal level restrictions as V2P
and V2N. However, The Current Channel has a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with
user-selectable gains of 1, 2, 8, or 16. These gains facilitate easy transducer interfacing. The
maximum differential voltage is ±660 mV and the maximum common-mode signal is ±100
mV.
The corresponding Max Frequency of CF/F1/F2 is shown in the following table.
