GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7755 is a high accuracy electrical energy measurement
IC. The part specifications surpass the accuracy requirements
as quoted in the IEC1036 standard. See Analog Devices’
Application Note AN-559 for a description of an IEC1036
watt-hour meter reference design.
The only analog circuitry used in the AD7755 is in the ADCs
and reference circuit. All other signal processing (e.g., multiplication and filtering) is carried out in the digital domain. This
approach provides superior stability and accuracy over extremes
in environmental conditions and over time.
The AD7755 supplies average real power information on the
low frequency outputs F1 and F2. These logic outputs may be
used to directly drive an electromechanical counter or interface
to an MCU. The CF logic output gives instantaneous real power
information. This output is intended to be used for calibration
purposes, or interfacing to an MCU.
The AD7755 includes a power supply monitoring circuit on the
AVDD supply pin. The AD7755 will remain in a reset condition
until the supply voltage on AVDD reaches 4 V. If the supply falls
below 4 V, the AD7755 will also be reset and no pulses will be
issued on F1, F2 and CF.
Internal phase matching circuitry ensures that the voltage and
current channels are phase matched whether the HPF in Channel 1 is on or off. An internal no-load threshold ensures that the
AD7755 does not exhibit any creep when there is no load.
The AD7755 is available in 24-lead DIP and SSOP packages.

*Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD7755 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
WARNING!
ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
TERMINOLOGY
ADC OFFSET ERROR
MEASUREMENT ERROR
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 small dc signal (offset). The offset
decreases with increasing gain in channel V1. This specification
is measured at a gain of 1. At a gain of 16, the dc offset is typically less than 1 mV. However, when the HPF is switched on,
the offset is removed from the current channel and the power
calculation is not affected by this offset.
The error associated with the energy measurement made by the
AD7755 is defined by the following formula:
Percentage Error =
Energy Registered by the AD7755 – True Energy
True Energy
× 100%
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 40 Hz to 1 kHz. See Figures 22 and 23.
GAIN ERROR
The gain error of the AD7755 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 AD7755 transfer function—see Transfer Function section.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION
This quantifies the AD7755 measurement error as a percentage
of reading when the power supplies are varied.
GAIN ERROR MATCH
For the ac PSR measurement a reading at nominal supplies
(5 V) is taken. A 200 mV rms/100 Hz signal is then introduced
onto the supplies and a second reading obtained under the same
input signal levels. Any error introduced is expressed as a percentage of reading—see Measurement Error definition.
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.
For the dc PSR measurement a reading at nominal supplies
(5 V) is taken. The supplies are then varied ± 5% and a second
reading is obtained with the same input signal levels. Any error
introduced is again expressed as a percentage of reading.

Digital Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the digital circuitry in the AD7755.
The supply voltage should be maintained at 5 V ± 5% for specified operation. This pin should be
decoupled with a 10 µF capacitor in parallel with a ceramic 100 nF capacitor.
High Pass Filter Select. This logic input is used to enable the HPF in Channel 1 (the current channel).
A logic one on this pin enables the HPF. The associated phase response of this filter has been internally compensated over a frequency range of 45 Hz to 1 kHz. The HPF filter should be enabled in
power metering applications.
Analog Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the analog circuitry in the AD7755.
The supply should be maintained at 5 V ± 5% for specified operation. Every effort should be made to
minimize power supply ripple and noise at this pin by the use of proper decoupling. This pin should
be decoupled to AGND with a 10 µF capacitor in parallel with a ceramic 100 nF capacitor.
No Connect.
Analog Inputs for Channel 1 (Current Channel). These inputs are fully differential voltage inputs with
a maximum differential signal level of ± 470 mV for specified operation. Channel 1 also has a PGA and
the gain selections are outlined in Table I. The maximum signal level at these pins is ± 1 V with respect
to AGND. Both inputs have internal ESD protection circuitry and in addition an overvoltage of ± 6 V
can be sustained on these inputs without risk of permanent damage.
Negative and Positive Inputs for Channel 2 (Voltage Channel). These inputs provide a fully differential
input pair. The maximum differential input voltage is ± 660 mV for specified operation. The maximum
signal level at these pins is ± 1 V with respect to AGND. Both inputs have internal ESD protection
circuitry and an overvoltage of ± 6 V can also be sustained on these inputs without risk of permanent
damage.
Reset Pin for the AD7755. A logic low on this pin will hold the ADCs and digital circuitry in a reset
condition. Bringing this pin logic low will clear the AD7755 internal registers.
This pin provides access to the on-chip voltage reference. The on-chip reference has a nominal value
of 2.5 V ± 8% and a typical temperature coefficient of 30 ppm/°C. An external reference source may
also be connected at this pin. In either case this pin should be decoupled to AGND with a 1 µF
ceramic capacitor and 100 nF ceramic capacitor.
This provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry in the AD7755, i.e., ADCs and reference.
This pin should be tied to the analog ground plane of the PCB. The analog ground plane is the ground
reference for all analog circuitry, e.g., antialiasing filters, current and voltage transducers, etc. For
good noise suppression the analog ground plane should only connected to the digital ground plane at
one point. A star ground configuration will help to keep noisy digital currents away from the analog
circuits.
Select Calibration Frequency. This logic input is used to select the frequency on the calibration output
CF. Table IV shows how the calibration frequencies are selected.
These logic inputs are used to select one of four possible frequencies for the digital-to-frequency conversion. This offers the designer greater flexibility when designing the energy meter. See Selecting a
Frequency for an Energy Meter Application section.
These logic inputs are used to select one of four possible gains for Channel 1, i.e., V1. The possible
gains are 1, 2, 8 and 16. See Analog Input section.
An external clock can be provided at this logic input. Alternatively, a parallel resonant AT crystal can
be connected across CLKIN and CLKOUT to provide a clock source for the AD7755. The clock
frequency for specified operation is 3.579545 MHz. Crystal load capacitance of between 22 pF and
33 pF (ceramic) should be used with the gate oscillator circuit.
A crystal can be connected across this pin and CLKIN as described above to provide a clock source
for the AD7755. The CLKOUT pin can drive one CMOS load when an external clock is supplied at
CLKIN or by the gate oscillator circuit.
This logic output will go logic high when negative power is detected, i.e., when the phase angle between
the voltage and current signals is greater that 90°. This output is not latched and will be reset when
positive power is once again detected. The output will go high or low at the same time as a pulse is
issued on CF.

This provides the ground reference for the digital circuitry in the AD7755, i.e., multiplier, filters and
digital-to-frequency converter. This pin should be tied to the analog ground plane of the PCB. The
digital ground plane is the ground reference for all digital circuitry, e.g., counters (mechanical and
digital), MCUs and indicator LEDs. For good noise suppression the analog ground plane should only
be connected to the digital ground plane at one point only, e.g., a star ground.
Calibration Frequency Logic Output. The CF logic output gives instantaneous real power information. This output is intended to be used for calibration purposes. Also see SCF pin description.
Low Frequency Logic Outputs. F1 and F2 supply average real power information. The logic outputs
can be used to directly drive electromechanical counters and two phase stepper motors. See Transfer
Function section.

THEORY OF OPERATION
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—see HPF and
Offset Effects section.

This is the correct real power calculation.

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 20
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.

The low frequency output of the AD7755 is generated by accumulating this real power information. This low frequency inherently means a long accumulation time between output 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

As can be seen from Equation 4 above, a harmonic real power
component is generated for every harmonic, provided that harmonic is present in both the voltage and current waveforms.
The power factor calculation has previously been shown to be
accurate in the case of a pure sinusoid, therefore the harmonic

AD7755 can be driven with common-mode voltages of up to
100 mV with respect to AGND. However best results are
achieved using a common mode equal to AGND.

Figure 24 shows a typical connection diagram for Channel V1.
A CT (current transformer) is the current transducer selected for
this example. Notice the common-mode voltage for Channel 1
is AGND and is derived by center tapping the burden resistor

HPF and Offset Effects
Figure 27 shows the effect of offsets on the real power calculation. As can be seen, an offset on Channel 1 and Channel 2 will
contribute a dc component after multiplication. Since this dc
component is extracted by the LPF and used to generate the
real power information, the offsets will have contributed a constant error to the real power calculation. This problem is easily
avoided by enabling the HPF (i.e., pin AC/DC is set logic high)
in Channel 1. By removing the offset from at least one channel,
no error component can be generated at dc by the multiplication. Error terms at cos(ωt) are removed by the LPF and the
digital-to-frequency conversion—see Digital-to-Frequency
Conversion section.

POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
The AD7755 contains an on-chip power supply monitor. The
Analog Supply (AVDD) is continuously monitored by the AD7755.
If the supply is less than 4 V ± 5%, the AD7755 will be reset.
This is useful to ensure correct device start-up at power-up and
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.
As can be seen from Figure 26, the trigger level is nominally set
at 4 V. The tolerance on this trigger level is about ± 5%. The
power supply and decoupling for the part should be such that
the ripple at AVDD does not exceed 5 V ± 5% as specified for
normal operation.

Figure 30 shows the instantaneous real power signal at the output
of the CPF which still contains a significant amount of instantaneous power information, i.e., cos (2ωt). This signal is then
passed to the digital-to-frequency converter where it is integrated
(accumulated) over time in order to produce an output frequency. This accumulation of the signal will suppress or average
out any non-dc components in the instantaneous real power
signal. The average value of a sinusoidal signal is zero. Hence
the frequency generated by the AD7755 is proportional to the
average real power. Figure 30 shows the digital-to-frequency
conversion for steady load conditions, i.e., constant voltage and
current.

DIGITAL-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERSION
As previously described, the digital output of the low-pass filter
after multiplication contains the real power information. However since this LPF is not an ideal “brick wall” filter implementation, the output signal also contains attenuated components
at the line frequency and its harmonics, i.e., cos(hωt) where
h = 1, 2, 3, . . . etc.
The magnitude response of the filter is given by:
| H( f ) | =
1
1 + ( f / 8.9 Hz )
(5)
For a line frequency of 50 Hz this would give an attenuation of
the 2ω (100 Hz) component of approximately –22 dBs. The
dominating harmonic will be at twice the line frequency, i.e.,
cos (2ωt) and this is due to the instantaneous power signal.

As can be seen in the diagram, the frequency output CF is seen
to vary over time, even under steady load conditions. This frequency variation is primarily due to the cos (2 ωt) component in
the instantaneous real power signal. The output frequency on
CF can be up to 2048 times higher than the frequency on F1
and F2. This higher output frequency is generated by accumulating the instantaneous real power signal over a much shorter
time while converting it to a frequency. This shorter accumulation period means less averaging of the cos (2 ωt) component.
As a consequence, some of this instantaneous power signal passes
through the digital-to-frequency conversion. This will not be a
problem in the application. Where CF is used for calibration
purposes, the frequency should be averaged by the frequency
counter. This will remove any ripple. If CF is being used to
measure energy, e.g., in a microprocessor-based application, the
CF output should also be averaged to calculate power. Because
the outputs F1 and F2 operate at a much lower frequency, a lot
more averaging of the instantaneous real power signal is carried
out. The result is a greatly attenuated sinusoidal content and a
virtually ripple-free frequency output.

AD7755
Interfacing the AD7755 to a Microcontroller for Energy
Measurement
Power Measurement Considerations
Calculating and displaying power information will always have
some associated ripple that will depend on the integration period
used in the MCU to determine average power and also the load.
For example, at light loads the output frequency may be 10 Hz.
With an integration period of two seconds, only about 20 pulses
will be counted. The possibility of missing one pulse always exists
as the AD7755 output frequency is running asynchronously to
the MCU timer. This would result in a one-in-twenty or 5%
error in the power measurement.
The easiest way to interface the AD7755 to a microcontroller is
to use the CF high frequency output with the output frequency
scaling set to 2048 × F1, F2. This is done by setting SCF = 0
and S0 = S1 = 1, see Table IV. With full-scale ac signals on the
analog inputs, the output frequency on CF will be approximately
5.5 kHz. Figure 31 illustrates one scheme which could be used
to digitize the output frequency and carry out the necessary
averaging mentioned in the previous section.
TRANSFER FUNCTION

AVERAGE
FREQUENCY
The AD7755 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, e.g., 0.34 Hz maximum
for ac signals with S0 = S1 = 0—see Table III. This 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 averaging 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.

For the purpose of calibration, this integration time could be 10

correct averaging of the frequency. In normal operation the integration time could be reduced to one or two seconds depending,
for example, on the required undate rate of a display. With
shorter integration times on the MCU the amount of energy in
each update may still have some small amount of ripple, even
under steady load conditions. However, over a minute or more
the measured energy will have no ripple.

As can be seen from these two example calculations, the maximum output frequency for ac inputs is always half of that for dc
input signals. Table III shows a complete listing of all maximum
output frequencies.

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 2048 times the pulse rate on F1 and F2. The lower the F1–4
frequency selected, the higher the CF scaling (except for the
high frequency mode SCF = 0, S1 = S0 = 1). Table IV shows
how the two frequencies are related, depending on the states of

SELECTING A FREQUENCY FOR AN ENERGY METER
APPLICATION
NOTE: If the on-chip reference is used, actual
output frequencies may vary from device to device
due to reference tolerance of ± 8%.
Freq =
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-tofrequency conversion. With much less averaging of the real
power signal, the CF output is much more responsive to power
fluctuations—see Signal Processing Block in Figure 20.

The F1–4 frequencies allow complete coverage of this range of
output frequencies on F1 and F2. When designing an energy
meter the nominal design voltage on Channel 2 (voltage) should
be set to half-scale to allow for calibration of the meter constant.
The current channel should also be no more than half-scale
when the meter sees maximum load. This will allow over current
signals and signals with high crest factors to be accommodated.
Table VI shows the output frequency on F1 and F2 when both
analog inputs are half-scale. The frequencies listed in Table
VI align very well with those listed in Table V for maximum load.

The high frequency CF output is intended to be used for communications and calibration purposes. CF produces a 90 mswide active high pulse (t4) at a frequency proportional to active
power. The CF output frequencies are given in Table IV. As in
the case of F1 and F2, if the period of CF (t5) falls below 180 ms,
the CF pulsewidth is set to half the period. For example, if the CF
frequency is 20 Hz, the CF pulsewidth is 25 ms.

When selecting a suitable F1–4 frequency for a meter design, the
frequency output at IMAX (maximum load) with a meter constant of 100 imp/kWhr should be compared with Column 4 of
Table VI. The frequency that is closest in Table VI will determine the best choice of frequency (F1–4). For example, if a meter
with a maximum current of 25 A is being designed, the output frequency on F1 and F2 with a meter constant of 100 imp/
kWhr is 0.153 Hz at 25 A and 220 V (from Table V). Looking
at Table VI, the closest frequency to 0.153 Hz in column four is
0.17 Hz. Therefore F2 (3.4 Hz—see Table II) is selected for this
design.
Frequency Outputs
Figure 1 shows a timing diagram for the various frequency outputs. The outputs F1 and F2 are the low frequency outputs that
can be used to directly drive a stepper motor or electromechanical impulse counter. The F1 and F2 outputs provide two alternating low going pulses. The pulsewidth (t1) is set at 275 ms and
the time between the falling edges of F1 and F2 (t3) is approximately half the period of F1 (t2). If however the period of F1
and F2 falls below 550 ms (1.81 Hz) the pulsewidth of F1 and
F2 is set to half of their period. The maximum output frequencies for F1 and F2 are shown in Table III.
NOTE: When the high frequency mode is selected, (i.e., SCF =
0, S1 = S0 = 1) the CF pulsewidth is fixed at 18 µs. Therefore t4
will always be 18 µs, regardless of output frequency on CF.
NO LOAD THRESHOLD
The AD7755 also includes a “no load threshold” and “start-up
current” feature that will eliminate any creep effects in the
meter. The AD7755 is designed to issue a minimum output
frequency on all modes except when SCF = 0 and S1 = S0 = 1.
The no-load detection threshold is disabled on this output mode
to accommodate specialized application of the AD7755. Any
load generating a frequency lower than this minimum frequency
will not cause a pulse to be issued on F1, F2 or CF. The minimum output frequency is given as 0.0014% of the full-scale
output frequency for each of the F1–4 frequency selections—see
Table II. For example, an energy meter with a meter constant
of 100 imp/kWhr on F1, F2 using F2 (3.4 Hz), the maximum
output frequency at F1 or F2 would be 0.0014% of 3.4 Hz or
4.76 × 10–5 Hz. This would be 3.05 × 10–3 Hz at CF (64 × F1 Hz).
In this example the no-load threshold would be equivalent to
1.7 W of load or a start-up current of 8 mA at 220 V. Comparing this value to the IEC1036 specification which states that the
meter must start up with a load equal to or less than 0.4% Ib.
For a 5A (Ib) meter 0.4% of Ib is equivalent to 20 mA.
