Preliminary Technical Data
The ADE7754 provides different solutions to measure Active
and Apparent Energy from the six analog inputs thus enabling the use of the ADE7754 in various Power meter
services as 3-phase 4-wire, 3-phase 3-wire but also 4-wire
delta.
In addition to RMS calculation, Real and Apparent power
informations, the ADE7754 provides system calibration
features for each phase, i.e., channel offset correction, phase
calibration and gain calibration. The CF logic output gives
instantaneous real power information.
The ADE7754 has a waveform sample register which enables
access to ADC outputs. The part also incorporates a detection circuit for short duration low or high voltage variations.
The voltage threshold levels and the duration (no. of half line
cycles) of the variation are user programmable.
A zero crossing detection is synchronized which the zero
crossing point of the line voltage of each of the three phases.
This information is used to measure each line’s Period. It is
also used internally to the chip in the Line Active Energy and
Line Apparent Energy accumulation modes. This permits
faster and more accurate calibration of the power calculations. This signal is also useful for synchronization of relay
switching.
Data is read from the ADE7754 via the SPI serial interface.
The interrupt request output (IRQ) is an open drain, active
low logic output. The IRQ output will go active low when one
or more interrupt events have occurred in the ADE7754. A
status register will indicate the nature of the interrupt.
The ADE7754 is available in a 24-lead SOIC package.

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 ADE7754 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Terminology
MEASUREMENT ERROR
ADC OFFSET ERROR
The error associated with the energy measurement made by
the ADE7754 is defined by the following formula:
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
magnitude of the offset depends on the gain and input range
selection - see characteristic curves. However, when HPFs
are switched on the offset is removed from the current
channels and the power calculation is not affected by this
offset.
Percentage Error =

 Energy registered by ADE 7754 − True Energy
× 100%

True Energy

PHASE ERROR BETWEEN CHANNELS
The HPF (High Pass Filter) in the current channel has a
phase lead response. To offset this phase response and
equalize the phase response between channels a phase correction network is also placed in the current channel. The phase
correction network ensures a phase match between the
current channels and voltage channels to within ±0.1° over a
range of 45Hz to 65Hz and ±0.2° over a range 40Hz to 1kHz.
This phase mismatch between the voltage and the current
channels can be further reduced with the phase calibration
register in each phase.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION
GAIN ERROR
The gain error in the ADE7754 ADCs, is defined as the
difference between the measured ADC output code (minus
the offset) and the ideal output code - see Current Channel ADC
& Voltage Channel ADC. The difference is expressed as a
percentage of the ideal code.
GAIN ERROR MATCH
The Gain Error Match is defined as the gain error (minus the
offset) obtained when switching between a gain of 1, 2 or 4.
It is expressed as a percentage of the output ADC code
obtained under a gain of 1.
This quantifies the ADE7754 measurement error as a percentage of reading when the power supplies are varied.
For the AC PSR measurement a reading at nominal supplies
(5V) is taken. A second reading is obtained with the same
input signal levels when an ac (175mVrms/100Hz) signal is
introduced onto the supplies. Any error introduced by this ac
signal is expressed as a percentage of reading—see Measurement Error definition above.
For the DC PSR measurement a reading at nominal supplies
(5V) is taken. A second reading is obtained with the same
input signal levels when the power supplies are varied ±5%.
Any error introduced is again expressed as a percentage of
reading.

Calibration Frequency logic output. The CF logic output gives Active Power information. This output is intended to be used for operational and calibration purposes. The
full-scale output frequency can be scaled by writing to the CFNUM and CFDEN registers—see Energy To Frequency Conversion.
2
DGND
This provides the ground reference for the digital circuitry in the ADE7754, i.e. multiplier, filters and digital-to-frequency converter. Because the digital return currents in
the ADE7754 are small, it is acceptable to connect this pin to the analog ground plane
of the whole system. However high bus capacitance on the DOUT pin may result in
noisy digital current which could affect performance.

D V DD
Digital power supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the digital circuitry in
the ADE7754. The supply voltage should be maintained at 5V ± 5% for specified operation. This pin should be decoupled to DGND with a 10µF capacitor in parallel with
a ceramic 100nF capacitor.
4
AVDD
Analog power supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the analog circuitry in
the ADE7754. The supply should be maintained at 5V ± 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. The typical performance graphs in this data sheet show
the power supply rejection performance. This pin should be decoupled to AGND with a
10µF capacitor in parallel with a ceramic 100nF capacitor.

fully differential voltage inputs with maximum differential input signal levels of ±0.5V,
±0.25V and ±0.125V, depending on the gain selections of the internal PGA -See Analog
Inputs.
All inputs have internal ESD protection circuitry, and in addition an overvoltage of
±6V can be sustained on these inputs without risk of permanent damage.
11
AGND
This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry in the ADE7754, i.e.
ADCs, temperature sensor, and reference. This pin should be tied to the analog ground
plane or the quietest ground reference in the system. This quiet ground reference
should be used for all analog circuitry, e.g. anti aliasing filters, current and voltage
transducers etc. In order to keep ground noise around the ADE7754 to a minimum, the
quiet ground plane should only connected to the digital ground plane at one point. It is
acceptable to place the entire device on the analog ground plane.
12
REFIN/OUT
This pin provides access to the on-chip voltage reference. The on-chip reference has a
nominal value of 2.4V ± 8% and a typical temperature coefficient of 30ppm/°C. An
external reference source may also be connected at this pin. In either case this pin
should be decoupled to AGND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor.

specified operation. These inputs are voltage inputs with maximum differential input
signal levels of ±0.5V, ±0.25V and ±0.125V, depending on the gain selections of the
internal PGA - see Analog Inputs.
All inputs have internal ESD protection circuitry, and in addition an over voltage of

CLKIN
Master clock for ADCs and digital signal processing. 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 ADE7754. The clock
frequency for specified operation is 10MHz. Ceramic load capacitors of between 22pF
and 33pF should be used with the gate oscillator circuit. Refer to crystal manufacturers
data sheet for load capacitance requirements
20
CLKOUT
A crystal can be connected across this pin and CLKIN as described above to provide a
clock source for the ADE7754. The CLKOUT pin can drive one CMOS load when
either an external clock is supplied at CLKIN or a crystal is being used.

Data Input for the Serial Interface. Data is shifted in at this pin on the falling edge of
SCLK—see ADE7754 Serial Interface.
23
SCLK
Serial Clock Input for the synchronous serial interface. All Serial data transfers are
synchronized to this clock—see ADE7754 Serial Interface. The SCLK has a Schmidt-trigger Input for use with a clock source which has a slow edge transition time, e.g.,
opto-isolator outputs etc.

POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
ANALOG INPUTS
The ADE7754 also contains an on-chip power supply monitor. The Analog Supply (AVDD) is continuously monitored
by the ADE7754. If the supply is less than 4V ± 5% then the
ADE7754 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 ADE7754 has a total of six analog inputs, dividable into
two channels: current channel and voltage channel. The
current channel consists of three pairs of fully-differential
voltage inputs, namely (IAP, IAN; IBP, IBN; ICP, ICN). The fully
differential voltage input pairs have a maximum differential
voltage of ±0.5V. The voltage channel has three single-ended
voltage inputs VAP, VBP, and VCP. These single-ended voltage inputs have a maximum input voltage of ±0.5V with
respect to VN. Both the current channel and the voltage
channel have a PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) with
possible gain selections of 1, 2, or 4. The same gain is applied
to all the inputs of each channel.
The gain selections are made by writing to the Gain register.
Bits 0 to 1 select the gain for the PGA in the fully-differential
current channel. The gain selection for the PGA in the singleended voltage channel is made via bits 5 to 6. Figure 3 shows
how a gain selection for the current channel is made using the
Gain register.

always masked by the Interrupt Mask register and cannot
cause the IRQ pin to go low. The Power supply and

AVDD does not exceed 5V ± 5% as specified for normal
operation.

Figure 6– Noise reduction due to Oversampling & Noise
shaping in the analog modulator
Figure 5 - First order Sigma-Delta (Σ−∆) ADC
A sigma-delta modulator converts the input signal into a
continuous serial stream of 1's and 0's at a rate determined by
the sampling clock. In the ADE7754 the sampling clock is
equal to CLKIN/12. 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) will 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, will a meaningful result be
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 which are proportional to the input
signal level. The sigma-delta converter uses two techniques
to achieve high resolution from what is essentially a 1-bit
conversion technique. The first is oversampling. By over
sampling we mean that the signal is sampled at a rate
(frequency) which is many times higher than the bandwidth
of interest. For example the sampling rate in the ADE7754
is CLKIN/12 (833kHz) and the band of interest is 40Hz to
2kHz. Oversampling has the effect of spreading the quantization noise (noise due to sampling) over a wider bandwidth.
With the noise spread more thinly over a wider bandwidth,
the quantization noise in the band of interest is lowered—see
Figure 6.
However oversampling alone is not an efficient enough
method to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the band
of interest. For example, an oversampling ratio of 4 is
required just to increase the SNR by only 6dB (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. This is what
happens in the sigma-delta modulator, the noise is shaped by
the integrator which has a high pass type response for the
quantization noise. The result is that most of the noise is at
the higher frequencies where it can be removed by the digital
low pass filter. This noise shaping is also shown in Figure 6.

Antialias Filter
Figure 5 also shows an analog low pass filter (RC) on the
input to the modulator. This filter is present to prevent
aliasing. Aliasing is an artifact of all sampled systems.
Basically it means that frequency components in the input
signal to the ADC which are higher than half the sampling
rate of the ADC will appear in the sampled signal at a
frequency below half the sampling rate. Figure 7 illustrates
the effect, frequency components (arrows shown in black)
above half the sampling frequency (also know as the Nyquist
frequency), i.e., 417kHz get imaged or folded back down
below 417kHz (arrows shown in grey). This will happen with
all ADCs no matter what the architecture. In the example
shown it can be seen that only frequencies near the sampling
frequency, i.e., 833kHz, will move into the band of interest
for metering, i.e, 40Hz - 2kHz. This fact allows us to use a
very simple LPF (Low Pass Filter) to attenuate these high
frequencies (near 900kHz) and so prevent distortion in the
band of interest. A simple RC filter (single pole) with a
corner frequency of 10kHz produces an attenuation of approximately 40dBs at 833kHz—see Figure 7. This is sufficient
to eliminate the effects of aliasing.

CURRENT CHANNEL ADC
Current channel Sampling
Figure 8 shows the ADC and signal processing chain for the
input IA of the current channels (same for IB and IC). In
waveform sampling mode the ADC outputs are signed 2’s
Complement 24-bit data word at a maximum of 26.0kSPS
(kilo Samples Per Second). The output of the ADC can be
scaled by ±50% by using the APGAINs register. While the
ADC outputs are 24-bit 2's complement value the maximum
full-scale positive value from the ADC is limited to 400000h
(+4,194,304d). The maximum full-scale negative value is
limited to C00000h (-4,194,304d). If the analog inputs are
over-ranged, the ADC output code clamps at these values.
With the specified full scale analog input signal of ±0.5V, the
ADC produces an output code between D70A3Eh (2,684,354) and 28F5C2h (+2,684,354). This is illustrated
in Figure 8. The diagram in Figure 8 shows a full-scale
voltage signal being applied to the differential inputs IAP and
IAN.
The waveform samples of the current channel inputs may
also be routed to the WAVEFORM register (WAVMODE
register to select the speed and the phase) to be read by the
system master (MCU). The Active Energy and Apparent
Energy calculation will remain uninterrupted during waveform sampling.
When in waveform sample mode, one of four output sample
rates may be chosen by using bits 3 and 4 of the WAVMode
register (DTRT[1:0] mnemonic). The output sample rate
may be 26.0kSPS, 13.0kSPS, 6.5kSPS or 3.3kSPS—see
WAVMode register. By setting the WSMP bit in the Interrupt
Mask register to logic one, the interrupt request output IRQ
will go active low when a sample is available. The timing is
shown in Figure 9. The 24-bit waveform samples are transferred from the ADE7754 one byte (8-bits) at a time, with the
most significant byte shifted out first.
IRQ
Current channel ADC Gain Adjust
SCLK
The ADC gain in each phase of the Current Channel can be
adjusted by using the multiplier and Active Power Gain
register (AAPGAIN[11:0], BAPGAIN and CAPGAIN).
The gain of the ADC is adjusted by writing a 2’s complement
12-bit word to the Active Power Gain register. Below is the
expression that shows how the gain adjustment is related to
the contents of the Active Power Gain register.

Note LPF1 does not affect the power calculation since it is
used only in the Waveform sample mode.
When in waveform sample mode, one of four output sample
rates can be chosen by using bits 3 and 4 of the WAVMode
register. The available output sample rates are 26.0kSPS,
13.5kSPS, 6.5kSPS or 3.3kSPS. The interrupt request
output IRQ signals a new sample availability by going active
low. The voltage waveform register is a 2-complement 16-bit
register. As the Waveform register is a 24-bit signed register,
the waveform data from the voltage input is located in the 16
LSB of the Waveform register. The sign of the 16-bit voltage
input value is not extended to the upper byte of the waveform
register. The upper byte is instead filled with zeros. 24-bit
waveform samples are transferred from the ADE7754 one
byte (8-bits) at a time, with the most significant byte shifted
out first. The timing is the same as that for the current
channels and is shown in Figure 9.
ZERO CROSSING DETECTION
Figure 10 – ADC and signal processing in voltage
channel
For Energy measurements, the output of the ADC (1 bit) is
passed directly to the multiplier and is not filtered. This
solution avoids a wide bits multiplier and does not affect the
accuracy of the measurement. A HPF is not required to
remove any DC offset since it is only required to remove the
offset from one channel to eliminate errors in the Power
calculation.
In the voltage channel, the samples may also be routed to the
WFORM register (WAVMODE to select VA, VB or VC and
sampling frequency). However before being passed to the
Waveform register, the ADC output is passed through a
single pole, low pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 260Hz.
The plots in Figure 11 show the magnitude and phase
response of this filter. The filter output code of any inputs of
the voltage channel swings between D70Bh (-10,485d) and
28F5h (+10,485d) for full scale sinewave inputs.
This has the effect of attenuating the signal. For example if
the line frequency is 60Hz, then the signal at the output of
LPF1 will be attenuated by 3%.

The zero crossing interrupt is generated from the output of
LPF1. LPF1 has a single pole at 260Hz (CLKIN = 10MHz).
As a result there will be a phase lag between the analog input
signal of the voltage channel and the output of LPF1. The
phase response of this filter is shown in the Voltage channel
Sampling section of this data sheet. The phase lag response
of LPF1 results in a time delay of approximately 0.6ms (@
60Hz) between the zero crossing on the analog inputs of
Voltage channel and the falling of IRQ.
When one phase crosses zero from negative to positive values
(rising edge), the corresponding flag in the Interrupt Status
register (bit 7-9) is set to logic one. An active-low in the IRQ
output will also appear if the corresponding ZX bit in the
Interrupt Mask register is set to logic one.
The flag in the Interrupt status register is reset to 0 when the
Interrupt status register with reset (RSTATUS) is read. Each
phase has its own interrupt flag and mask bit in the interrupt
register.

ADE7754
In addition to the MASK bits, the Zero crossing detection
interrupt of each phase is enabled/disabled by setting the
ZXSEL bits of the MMODE register (Addr. 0x0B) to logic
one or zero respectively.
Zero crossing Time out
Each zero crossing detection has an associated internal timeout register (not accessible to the user). This unsigned,
16-bit register is decremented (1 LSB) every 384/CLKIN
seconds. The registers are reset to a common user programmed value -i.e. Zero Cross Time Out register
(ZXTOUT, Addr. 0x12) every time a zero crossing is
detected on its associated input. The default value of ZXTOUT
is FFFFh. If the internal register decrements to zero before
a zero crossing at the corresponding input is detected, it
indicates an absence of a zero crossing in the time determined
by the ZXTOUT. The ZXTO detection bit of the corresponding phase in the Interrupt Status Register is then
switched on (bit 4-6). An active-low on the IRQ output will
also appear if the SAG mask bit for the corresponding phase
in the Interrupt Mask register is set to logic one.
In addition to the MASK bits, the Zero crossing Time out
detection interrupt of each phase is enabled/disabled by
setting the ZXSEL bits of the MMODE register (Addr.
0x0B) to logic one or zero respectively. When the zero
crossing Time out detection is disabled by this method, the
ZXTO flag of the corresponding phase is switched ON all the
time.
Figure 13 shows the mechanism of the zero crossing time out
detection when the line voltage A stays at a fixed DC level for
more than CLKIN/384 x ZXTOUT seconds.

The resolution of this register is 2.4µs/LSB when
CLKIN=10MHz, which represents 0.014% when the line
frequency is 60Hz. When the line frequency is 60Hz, the
value of the Period register is approximately 6944d. The
length of the register enables the measurement of line
frequencies as low as 12.7Hz.
LINE VOLTAGE SAG DETECTION
The ADE7754 can be programmed to detect when the
absolute value of the line voltage of any phase drops below a
certain peak value, for a number of half cycles. Each phase of
the voltage channel is controlled simultaneously. This condition is illustrated in Figure 14 below.

Figure 14 shows a line voltage falling below a threshold
which is set in the Sag Level register (SAGLVL[7:0]) for
nine half cycles. Since the Sag Cycle register indicates a 6
half-cycle threshold (SAGCYC[7:0]=06h), the SAG event is
recorded at the end of the sixth half-cycle by setting the SAG
flag of the corresponding phase in the Interrupt status register
(bit 1 to 3 in the Interrupt Status register). If the SAG enable
bit is set to logic one for this phase (bit 1 to 3 in the Interrupt
Mask register), the IRQ logic output will go active low - see
ADE7754 Interrupts. All the phases are compared to the same
parameters defined in the SAGLVL and SAGCYC registers.
Sag Level Set
Figure 13 - Zero crossing Time out detection
PERIOD MEASUREMENT
The ADE7754 provides also the period measurement of the
line voltage. The period is measured on the phase specified
by bit 0-1 of the MMODE register. The period register is an
unsigned 15-bit register and is updated every period of the
selected phase. Bit 0-1 and bit 4-6 of the MMODE register
select the phase for the period measurement, both selection
should indicate the same phase. The ZXSEL bits of the
MMODE register (bit 4-6) enable the phases on which the
Period measurement can be done. The PERDSEL bits select
the phase for Period measurement within the phases selected
by the ZXSEL bits.
The content of the Sag Level register (1 byte) is compared to
the absolute value of the most significant byte output from the
voltage channel ADC. Thus, for example, the nominal
maximum code from the voltage channel ADC with a full
scale signal is 28F5h —see Voltage Channel Sampling.
Therefore, writing 28h to the Sag Level register will put the
sag detection level at full scale and set the SAG detection to
its most sensitive value.
Writing 00h will put the Sag detection level at zero. The
detection of a decrease of an input voltage is in this case
hardly possible. The detection is made when the content of
the SAGLVL register is greater than the incoming sample.

The contents of the Temperature register are signed (2's

temperature is approximately 129°C. The value of the
register will be : Temperature register = (Temperature (°C)
- 129)/4.
The temperature in the ADE7754 has an offset tolerance of
approximately ±5°C. The error can be easily calibrated out
by an MCU.

Bits 2-3 of the Measurement Mode register define the phase

shows a line voltage exceeding a threshold which is set in the
Voltage peak register (VPEAK[7:0]). The Voltage Peak
event is recorded by setting the PKV flag in the Interrupt
Status register. If the PKV enable bit is set to logic one in the
Interrupt Mask register, the IRQ logic output will go active
low - see ADE7754 Interrupts.
Peak Level Set
The contents of the VPEAK and IPEAK registers are respectively compared to the absolute value of the most significant
byte output of the selected voltage and current channels.
Thus, for example, the nominal maximum code from the
current channel ADC with a full scale signal is 28F5C2h —
see Current Channel Sampling.
Therefore, writing 28h to the IPEAK register will put the
current channel peak detection level at full scale and set the
current peak detection to its least sensitive value.
Writing 00h will put the current channel detection level at
zero. The detection is done when the content of the IPEAK
register is smaller than the incoming current channel sample.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The ADE7754 also includes an on-chip temperature sensor.
A temperature measurement is made every 4/CLKIN seconds. The output from the temperature sensing circuit is

PHASE COMPENSATION
When the HPFs are disabled the phase error between the
current channel (IA, IB and IC) and the voltage channel (VA,
VB and VC) is zero from DC to 3.3kHz. When the HPFs are
enabled, the current channels have a phase response illustrated in Figure 16a & 16b. Also shown in Figure 16c is the
magnitude response of the filter. As can be seen from the
plots, the phase response is almost zero from 45Hz to 1kHz,
This is all that is required in typical energy measurement
applications.

However despite being internally phase compensated, the
ADE7754 must work with transducers which may have
inherent phase errors. For example a phase error of 0.1° to
0.3° is not uncommon for a CT (Current Transformer).
These phase errors can vary from part to part and they must
be corrected in order to perform accurate power calculations.
The errors associated with phase mismatch are particularly
noticeable at low power factors. The ADE7754 provides a
means of digitally calibrating these small phase errors. The
ADE7754 allows a small time delay or time advance to be
introduced into the signal processing chain in order to
compensate for small phase errors. Because the compensation is in time, this technique should only be used for small
phase errors in the range of 0.1° to 0.5°. Correcting large
phase errors using a time shift technique can introduce
significant phase errors at higher harmonics.
The Phase Calibration registers (APHCAL, BPHCAL and
CPHCAL) are 2’s complement 5-bit signed registers which
can vary the time delay in the voltage channel signal path from
–19.2µs to +19.2µs (CLKIN = 10MHz). One LSB is
equivalent to 1.2µs. With a line frequency of 50Hz this gives
a phase resolution of 0.022° at the fundamental (i.e., 360° x
1.2µs x 50Hz).
Figure 17 illustrates how the phase compensation is used to
remove a 0.091° phase lead in IA of the current channel due
to some external transducer. In order to cancel the lead
(0.091°) in IA of the current channel, a phase lead must also
be introduced into VA of the voltage channel. The resolution
of the phase adjustment allows the introduction of a phase
lead of 0.086°. The phase lead is achieved by introducing a
time advance into VA. A time advance of 4.8µs is made by
writing -4 (1Ch) to the time delay block (APHCAL[4:0]),
thus reducing the amount of time delay by 4.8µs - see
Calibration of a 3-phase meter based on the ADE7754.

One LSB of the current RMS register is equivalent to one
LSB of a current waveform sample. The update rate of the
current RMS measurement is CLKIN/12.
With the specified full scale analog input signal of 0.5V, the
ADC will produce an output code which is approximately
±2,684,354d - see Current channel ADC. The equivalent
RMS values of a full-scale AC signal and full scale DC signal
are respectively 1,898,124d (1CF68Ch) and 2,684,354d
(28F5C2h).
With offset calibration, the current rms measurement provided in the ADE7754 is accurate within +/-2% for signal
input between Full scale and Full scale/100.
ROOT MEAN SQUARE MEASUREMENT
Root Mean Square (RMS) is a fundamental 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 heat in the same load.
Mathematically: the RMS value of a continuous signal f(t) is
defined as:
T
Frms =
1
⋅ f 2 (t ) dt (1)
T ∫0
Note: A crosstalk between phases can appear in the ADE7754
current rms measurements. This crosstalk follows a specific
pattern: Current rms measurements of Phase A are corrupted
by the signal on the Phase C current input, Current rms
measurements of Phase B are corrupted by the signal on the
Phase A current input and Current rms measurements of
Phase C are corrupted by the signal on the Phase B current
input. This crosstalk is only present on the current rms
measurements and does not affect the regular Active power
measurements. The level of the crosstalk is dependent on the
level of the noise source and the phase angle between the noise
source and the corrupted signal. The level of the crosstalk can
be reduced by writing 0x01F7 to the address 0x3D. This 16bit register is reserved for factory operation and should not be
written to any other value.
When the current inputs are 120° out of phase and the register
0x3D is set to 0x01F7, the level of the current rms crosstalk
is below 2%.
For time sampling signals, rms calculation involves squaring
the signal, taking the average and obtaining the square root:
1 N 2
⋅ ∑ f ( i ) (2)
N i =1
Frms =
The method used to calculate the RMS value in the ADE7754
is to low-pass filter the square of the input signal (LPF3) and
take the square root of the result.
With V (t ) = Vrms ⋅ 2 ⋅ sin (ωt ) then
V (t ) × V (t ) = Vrms 2 − Vrms 2 ⋅ cos (2ωt )
The RMS calculation is simultaneously processed on the six
analog input channels. Each result is available on separate
registers.
Current RMS calculation
Figure 18 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

affects the result of the RMS calculation - see Current RMS
Gain adjust. The current RMS values are stored in an
unsigned 24-bit registers (AIRMS, BIRMS and CIRMS).

Current RMS Gain Adjust
The Active power Gain registers (AAPGAIN[11:0],
BAPGAIN and CAPGAIN) have an effect on the Active
Power and current rms values. It is not recommended to
calibrate the current rms measurements with these registers.
The conversion of the current rms registers values to Amperes has to be done in an external Micro-controller with a
specific Ampere/LSB constant for each phase - see Calibration
of a 3-phase meter based on the ADE7754. Due to gain
mismatches between phases, the calibration of the Ampere/
LSB constant has to be done for each phase separately. One
point calibration is sufficient for this calibration. The Active
Power Gain registers are aimed to ease the calibration of the
Active energy calculation in MODE 1 and 2 of the VAMODE
register.
If the APGAIN registers are used for Active Power calibration (WATMOD bits in WATTMode register = 1 or 2), the
current rms values are changed by Active Power Gain register
value as described in the expression below:

AAPGAIN 
Current RMS Register phase A =  RMS × 1 +

212


For example, when 7FFh is written to the Active Power Gain
register, the ADC output is scaled up by 22.5%. Similarly,
800h = -2047d (signed 2’s Complement) and ADC output is
scaled by 29.3%. These two examples are illustrated graphically in Figure 18.
Current RMS offset compensation
The ADE7754 incorporates a current RMS offset compensation for each phase (AIRMSOS, BIRMSOS and
CIRMSOS). These are 12-bit 2-complement signed registers which can be used to remove offsets in the current RMS
calculations. An offset may exist in the RMS calculation due
to input noises that are integrated in the DC component of
V2(t). The offset calibration will allow the contents of the
IRMS registers to be maintained at zero when no current is
being consumed.
n LSB of the Current RMS offset are equivalent to 32768 x
n LSB of the square of the Current RMS register. Assuming
that the maximum value from the Current RMS calculation
is 1,898,124d with full scale AC inputs, then 1 LSB of the
current RMS offset represents 0.0058% of measurement
error at -40dB down of full scale.
I rms = I rms 0 2 + IRMSOS × 32768
where Irmso is the RMS measurement without offset correction.
The current rms offset compensation should be done by
testing the rms results at two non-zero input levels. One
measurement can be done close to full scale and the other at
approximately Full scale/100. The current offset compensation can then be derived from these measurements - see
Calibration of a 3-phase meter based on the ADE7754.
Voltage RMS calculation
Figure 19 shows the details of the signal processing chain for
the RMS calculation on one of the phases of the voltage
channel. The voltage channel RMS value is processed from
the samples used in the voltage channel waveform sampling
mode. The output of the voltage channel ADC can be scaled
by ±50% by changing VGAIN registers to perform an overall
Apparent power calibration -see Apparent Power calculation.
The VGAIN adjustment affects the RMS calculation as it is
done before the RMS signal processing. The voltage RMS
values are stored in unsigned 24-bit registers (AVRMS,
BVRMS and CVRMS). 256 LSB of the voltage RMS register
is approximately equivalent to one LSB of a voltage waveform sample. The update rate of the voltage RMS measurement
is CLKIN/12.
With the specified full scale AC analog input signal of 0.5V,
the LPF1 produces an output code which is approximately
±10,217d at 60 Hz- see Voltage channel ADC. The equivalent
RMS value of a full-scale AC signal is approximately 7,221d
(1C35h), which gives a voltage RMS value of 1,848,772
(1C35C4h) in the VRMS register.
With offset calibration, the voltage rms measurement provided in the ADE7754 is accurate within +/-0.5% for signal
input between Full scale and Full scale/20.

ACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
The Voltage Gain register (AVGAIN[11:0], BVGAIN and
CVGAIN) have an effect on the Apparent Power and voltage
rms values. It is not recommended to calibrate the voltage
rms measurements with these registers. The conversion of
the voltage rms registers values to Volts has to be done in an
external Micro-controller with a specific Volt/LSB constant
for each phase - see Calibration of a 3-phase meter based on the
ADE7754. Due to gain mismatches between phases, the
calibration of the Volt/LSB constant has to be done for each
phase separately. One point calibration is sufficient for this
calibration. The Voltage Gain registers are aimed to ease the
calibration of the apparent energy calculation in MODE 1
and 2 of the VAMODE register.
If the VGAIN registers are used for Apparent Power calibration (VAMOD bits in VAMode register = 1 or 2), the voltage
rms values are changed by Voltage Gain register value as
described in the expression below:
Electrical power is defined as the rate of energy flow from
source to load. 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. Equation 5 gives an expression for the instantaneous power signal in an ac system.


For example, when 7FFh is written to the Voltage Gain
register, the ADC output is scaled up by +50%. 7FFh =
2047d, 2047/212 = 0.5. Similarly, 800h = -2047 Dec (signed
2’s Complement) and ADC output is scaled by –50%. These
two examples are illustrated graphically in Figure 19.
Voltage RMS offset compensation
The ADE7754 incorporates a voltage RMS offset compensation for each phase (AVRMSOS, BVRMSOS and
CVRMSOS). These are 12-bit 2-complement signed registers which can be used to remove offsets in the voltage RMS
calculations. An offset may exist in the RMS calculation due
to input noises and offsets in the input samples. The offset
calibration allows the contents of the VRMS registers to be
maintained at zero when no voltage is applied.
n LSB of the Voltage RMS offset are equivalent to 64 x n LSB
of the voltage RMS register. Assuming that the maximum
value from the Voltage RMS calculation is 1,898,124d with
full scale AC inputs, then 1 LSB of the voltage RMS offset
represents 0.07% of measurement error at -26dB down of full
scale.

P is referred to as the Active or Real Power. Note that the

relationship used to calculate active power in the ADE7754
for each phase. The instantaneous power signal p(t) is
generated by multiplying the current and voltage signals in
each phase. The DC component of the instantaneous power
signal in each phase (A, B and C) is then extracted by LPF2
(Low Pass Filter) to obtain the active power information on
each phase. This process is illustrated graphically on Figure
20. In a polyphase system, the total electrical power is simply
the sum of the real power in all active phases. The different
solutions available to process the total active power are

Since LPF2 does not have an ideal “brick wall” frequency
response—see Figure 21, the Active Power signal will have
some ripple due to the instantaneous power signal. This
ripple is sinusoidal and has a frequency equal to twice the line
frequency. Since the ripple is sinusoidal in nature, it is
removed when the Active Power signal is integrated to
calculate the Energy – see Energy Calculation.

Figure 22 shows the signal processing in each phase for the
Active Power in the ADE7754.
Figure 23 shows the maximum code (Hexadecimal) output
range of the Active Power signal (after AWG). Note that the
output range changes depending on the contents of the Active
Power Gain and Watt Gain registers – see Current channel
ADC. The minimum output range is given when the Active
Power Gain and Watt Gain registers contents are equal to
800h and the maximum range is given by writing 7FFh to the
Active Power Gain and Watt Gain registers. These can be
used to calibrate the Active Power (or Energy) calculation in
the ADE7754 for each phase and also the Total Active
Energy -see Total Active Power calculation.
The ADE7754 also incorporates an Active Offset register on
each phase (AAPOS, BAPOS and CAPOS). These are
signed 2’s complement 12-bit registers which can be used to
remove offsets in the active power calculations. An offset may
exist in the power calculation due to cross talk between
channels on the PCB or in the IC itself. The offset calibration
allows the contents of the Active Power register to be
maintained at zero when no power is being consumed.
1 LSBs in the Active Power Offset register is equivalent to 1
LSB in the 28-bit Energy bus displayed on Figure 22. Each
time power is added to the internal Active Energy register, the
content of the Active Power Offset register is added -see Total
Active Power calculation. Assuming the average value from
LPF2 is 8637BCh (8,796,092d) with full AC scale inputs on
current channel and voltage channel, then 1 LSB in the LPF2
output is equivalent to 0.011% of measurement error at 60dB down of full scale - see Calibration of a 3-phase meter

Reverse Power Information
The ADE7754 detects when the current and voltage channels
of any of the three phase inputs have a phase difference greater
than 90° i.e. |ΦA| or |ΦB| or |ΦC| > 90°. This mechanism can
detect wrong connection of the meter or generation of Active
Energy.
The Reverse power information is available for Phase A - B
and C respectively by reading bit12-14 of the CFNUM
register - see Table XI. The state of these bits represent the
sign of the active power of the corresponding phase. Logic
one corresponds to negative active power.
The AENERGY phase selection bits (WATSEL bits of the
WATMode register) enable the negative power detection per
phase. If Phase A is enabled in the AENERGY accumulation
-bit 5 of WATMode register sets to logic one- the negative
power detection for Phase A -bit 12 of CFNUM registerindicates the direction of the active energy. If Phase A is
disabled in the AENERGY register, the negative power bit
for Phase A is set to logic zero.
TOTAL ACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
The sum of the active powers coming from each phase gives
the total active Power consumption. Different combinations
of the three phases can be selected in the sum by setting bits
7-6 of the WATMode register (mnemonic WATMOD[1:0]).
Figure 24 demonstrates the calculation of the total active
power.
The total active power calculated by the ADE7754 depends
on the configuration of the WATMOD bits in the WATMode
register. Each term of the formula can be disabled or enabled
by setting WATSEL bits respectively to logic 0 or logic 1 in
the WATMode register. The different configurations are
described in Table I.

As stated earlier, power is defined as the rate of energy flow.
This relationship can be expressed mathematically as
Equation 7.

Where P = Power and E = Energy.
Conversely Energy is given as the integral of Power.
P=
E=∫ Pdt

The ADE7754 achieves the integration of the Active Power
signal by continuously accumulating the Active Power signal
in an internal non-readable 54-bit Energy register. The
Active Energy register (AENERGY[23:0]) represents the
upper 24 bits of this internal register. This discrete time
accumulation or summation is equivalent to integration in
continuous time. Equation 9 below expresses the relationship
register after a read. Two operations are held when reading
the RAENERGY register: Read and reset to zero the internal
Active Energy register. Only one operation is held when
reading the AENERGY register: read the internal Active
Energy register.
Figure 26 shows the energy accumulation for full scale
signals (sinusoidal) on the analog inputs. The three displayed
curves, illustrate the minimum time it takes the energy
register to roll-over, when the individual Watt Gain registers
contents are all equal to 3FFh, 000h and 800h. The Watt
Gain registers are used to carry out a power calibration in the
ADE7754. As shown, the fastest integration time occurs
when the Watt Gain registers are set to maximum full scale,
i.e., 3FFh.

calculating the Energy, this integration removes any sinusoidal component which may be in the Active Power signal.
Figure 26 shows a graphical representation of this discrete
time integration or accumulation. The Active Power signal
is continuously added to the internal Energy register. This
addition is a signed addition, therefore negative energy will

Integration times under steady load
As mentioned in the last section, the discrete time sample
period (T) for the accumulation register is 0.4µs (4/CLKIN).
With full-scale sinusoidal signals on the analog inputs and the
Watt Gain registers set to 000h, the average word value from
each LPF2 is D1B717h - see Figures 20 and 22. The
maximum value which can be stored in the Active Energy
register before it over flows is 223 -1 or 7F,FFFFh. As the
average word value is added to the internal register, which can
store 253 - 1 or 1F,FFFF,FFFF,FFFFh before it overflows,
the integration time under these conditions with WDIV=0 is
calculated as follows:
Time =
1F , FFFF , FFFF , FFFFh
× 0.4 µs = 88 s
3 × D1B717h
When WDIV is set to a value different from 0, the integration
time varies as shown on Equation 10.
Time = TimeWDIV=0 x WDIV
The ADE7754 also provides energy to frequency conversion
for calibration purposes. After initial calibration at manufacture, the manufacturer or end customer will often verify the
energy meter calibration. One convenient way to verify the
meter calibration is for the manufacturer to provide an output
frequency which is proportional to the energy or active power
under steady load conditions. This output frequency can
provide a simple, single wire, optically isolated interface to
external calibration equipment. Figure 27 illustrates the
Energy to frequency conversion in the ADE7754.

Figure 27– ADE7754 Energy to Frequency Conversion
A Digital to Frequency Converter (DFC) is used to generate
the CF pulsed output. The DFC generates a pulse each time
one LSB in the Active Energy register is accumulated. An
output pulse is generated when CFDEN/CFNUM pulses are
generated at the DFC output. Under steady load conditions
the output frequency is proportional to the Active Power.
The maximum output frequency (CFNUM=00h &
CFDEN=00h) with full scale AC signals on the three phases
i.e. current channel and voltage channel is approximately
96kHz.
The ADE7754 incorporates two registers to set the frequency
of CF (CFNUM[11:0] and CFDEN[11:0]). These are
unsigned 12-bit registers which can be used to adjust the
frequency of CF to a wide range of values. These Frequency
scaling registers are 12-bit registers which can scale the
output frequency by 1/212 to 1 with a step of 1/212.
From Equation 8
(13)
From Equation 13 it can be seen that there is a small ripple
in the energy calculation due to a sin(2ωt) component. This
is shown graphically in Figure 28. The ripple will get larger
as a percentage of the frequency at larger loads and higher
output frequencies. Choosing a lower output frequency at CF
for calibration can significantly reduce the ripple. Also
averaging the output frequency by using a longer gate time for
the counter will achieve the same results.

The output frequency will have a slight ripple at a frequency
equal to twice the line frequency. This is due to imperfect
filtering of the instantaneous power signal to generate the
Active Power signal – see ACTIVE POWER CALCULATION.
Equation 5 gives an expression for the instantaneous power
signal. This is filtered by LPF2 which has a magnitude
response given by Equation 11.

The WDIV register can be used to increase the time before
the active energy register overflows, therefore reducing the

If the value zero is written to any of these registers, the value
one would be applied to the register. The ratio CFNUM/
CFDEN should be smaller than one to assure proper operation. If the ratio of the registers CFNUM/CFDEN is greater
than one, the CF frequency can no longer be guaranteed to
be a consistent value.
For example if the output frequency is 18.744kHz while the
contents of CFDEN are zero (000h), then the output frequency
can be set to 6.103Hz by writing BFFh to the CFDEN
register.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
ADE7754
In this mode, the Reverse Power information available in the
CFNUM register is still detecting when negative active
power is present on any of the three phase inputs.
No Load Threshold
The ADE7754 includes a selectable “no load threshold” or
“start up current” feature that will eliminate any creep effects
in the active energy measurement of the meter. When
enabled, this function is independently applied on each
phase’s active power calculation. This mode is selected by
default and can be disabled by setting to logic one bit3 of the
GAIN register (Address 18h) - see Table X. Any load
generating an active power amplitude lower than the minimum amplitude specified, will not be taken into account
when accumulating the active power from this phase.
The minimum instantaneous active power allowed in this
mode is 0.005% of the full scale amplitude. As the maximum
active power value is 13,743,895d with full scale analog
input, the no-load threshold is 687d. For example, an energy
meter with maximum inputs of 220V and 40A and Ib=10A,
the maximum instantaneous active power is 3,435,974d
assuming that both inputs represent half of the analog input
full scale . As the no-load threshold represents 687d, the start
up current represents 8mA or 0.08% of Ib.
LINE ENERGY ACCUMULATION
The ADE7754 is designed with a special energy accumulation mode which simplifies the calibration process. By using
the on-chip zero-crossing detection, the ADE7754 accumulates the Active Power signal in the LAENERGY register for
an integer number of half cycles, as shown in Figure 29. The
line active energy accumulation mode is always active.
Important: It is recommended to use this mode with only
one phase selected. If several phases are selected, the amount
accumulated can be smaller than it is supposed to be.
Each one of three phases zero-crossing detection can contribute to the accumulation of the half line cycles. Phase A, B and
C zero crossings are respectively taken into account when
counting the number of half line cycles by setting to logic one
bits 4-6 of the MMODE register. Selecting phases for the
Zero crossing counting has also the effect of enabling the
Zero-crossing detection, Zero-crossing Time-Out and Period Measurement for the corresponding phase as described
in the Zero-crossing Detection paragraph.
The number of half line cycles is specified in the LINCYC
register. LINCYC is an unsigned 16-bit register. The
ADE7754 can accumulate Active Power for up to 65535
combined half cycles. Because the Active Power is integrated
on an integer number of line cycles, the sinusoidal component is reduced to zero. This eliminates any ripple in the
energy calculation. Energy is calculated more accurately
because of this precise timing control. At the end of an energy
calibration cycle the LINCYC flag in the Interrupt Status
register is set. If the LINCYC mask bit in the Interrupt Mask
register is enabled, the IRQ output will also go active low.
Mode selection of the sum of the three active energies
The ADE7754 can be configured to execute the arithmetic
sum of the three active energies, Wh = WhφA + WhφΒ + WhφC,
or the sum of the absolute value of these energies, Wh =
|WhφA| + | WhφΒ| + |WhφC|. The selection between the two
modes can be made by setting bit2 of the GAIN register
(Address 18h) - see Table X. Logic high and logic low of this
bit correspond respectively to the sum of absolute values and
the arithmetic sum. This selection affects the active energy
accumulation in the AENERGY, RAENERGY, LAENERGY
registers as well as for the CF frequency output.
When the sum of the absolute values is selected, the active
energy from each phase is always counted positive in the total
active energy. It is particularly useful in 3-phase 4-wire
installation where the sign of the active power should always
be the same. If the meter is misconnected to the power lines
i.e. CT connected in the wrong direction, the total active
energy recorded without this solution can be reduced by two
third. The sum of the absolute values assures that the active
energy recorded represents the actual active energy delivered.

In the mode where the Active powers are accumulated in the
LVAENERGY register, bit5 of WAVMODE register equals
1, it should be noticed that the sum of several active power is
always done ignoring the sign of the active powers. This is
due to the unsigned nature of the LVAENERGY register that
does not allow signed addition.
REACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
Reactive power is defined as the product of the voltage and
current waveforms when one of this signal is phase shifted by
90º at each frequency. It is defined mathematically in the
IEEE Standard Dictionary 100 as:
Reactive Power =
∞
∑V
n
n =1
The total active power calculated by the ADE7754 in the Line
accumulation mode depends on the configuration of the
WATMOD bits in the WATMode register. Each term of the
formula can be disabled or enabled by the LWATSEL bits of
the WATMode register. The different configurations are
described in Table III.

values of the nth harmonics of the line frequency, and ϕn is the
phase difference between the voltage and current nth harmonics. The resulting waveform is called the instantaneous
reactive power signal (VAR).
Equation 19 gives an expression for the instantaneous reactive power signal in an ac system without harmonics when the
phase of the current channel is shifted by -90º.

Note: IA*, IB* and IC* represent the current channels samples

Important: The Line Active Energy accumulation uses the
same signal path as the Active Energy accumulation. However, the LSB size of these two registers is different. If the
Line Active energy register and Active energy register are
accumulated during the same amount of time, the Line Active
energy register will be 4 times bigger than the Active Energy
register.
The LAENERGY register is also used to accumulate the
reactive energy by setting to logic one bit5 of the WAVMode
register (Add. 0Ch) - see reactive power calculation. When
this bit is set to one, the accumulation of the Active Energy
over half line cycles in the LAENERGY register is disabled
and is done instead in the LVAENERGY register. As the
LVAENERGY register is an unsigned value, the accumulation of the active energy in the LVAENERGY register is
unsigned in this mode. The reactive energy is then accumulated in the LAENERGY register - see Figure 31. In this
mode (reactive energy), the selection of the phases accumulated in the LAENERGY and LVAENERGY registers is
done by the LWATSEL selection bits of the WATTMode
register.

VAR is referred to as the Reactive Power. Note that the
reactive power is equal to the DC component of the instantaneous reactive power signal VAR(t) in Equation 19. This is
the relationship used to calculate reactive power in the
ADE7754 for each phase. The instantaneous reactive power
signal VAR(t) is generated by multiplying the current and
voltage signals in each phase. In this case, the phase of the
current channel is shifted by -89º. The DC component of the
instantaneous reactive power signal in each phase (A, B and
C) is then extracted by a low pass filter to obtain the reactive
power information on each phase. In a polyphase system, the
total reactive power is simply the sum of the reactive power
in all active phases. The different solutions available to
process the total reactive power from the individual calculation are discussed in the following paragraph.

Important: As the phase shift applied on the current channel
is not -90º as it should be ideally, the reactive power
calculation done in the ADE7754 cannot be used directly for

only to get the sign of the reactive power. The reactive power
can be processed using the power triangle method.

TOTAL REACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
The sum of the Reactive powers coming from each phase
gives the Total Reactive Power consumption. Different
combinations of the three phases can be selected in the sum
by setting bits 7-6 of the WATMode register (mnemonic
WATMOD[1:0]). Each term of the formula can be disabled
or enabled by the LWATSEL bits of the WATMode register.
It should be noticed that in this mode, the LWATSEL bits
are also used to select the terms of the LVAENERGY
register. The different configurations are described in Table
III.
The accumulation of the Reactive Power in the LAENERGY
register is different from the accumulation of the Active
Power in the LAENERGY register. Under the same signal
conditions (e.g. Current and voltage channels at full scale),
if the accumulation of the active power with PF = 1 during
1 second is Wh1 and the accumulation of the reactive power
with PF = 0 during the same time is VARh1, then Wh1 =
9.546 x VAR1.
Note: IA*, IB* and IC* represent the current channels samples
after APGAIN correction, High-Pass Filtering and -89º
phase shift in the case of Reactive Energy accumulation.
The features of the Reactive Energy accumulation are the
same as the Line Active Energy accumulation:
Each one of three phases zero-crossing detection can contribute to the accumulation of the half line cycles. Phase A, B and
C zero crossings are respectively taken into account when
counting the number of half line cycles by setting to logic one
bits 4-6 of the MMODE register. Selecting phases for the
Zero crossing counting has also the effect of enabling the
Zero-crossing detection, Zero-crossing Time-Out and Period Measurement for the corresponding phase as described
int he Zero-crossing Detection paragraph.
The number of half line cycles is specified in the LINCYC
register. LINCYC is an unsigned 16-bit register. The
ADE7754 can accumulate Active Power for up to 65535
combined half cycles. At the end of an energy calibration
cycle the LINCYC flag in the Interrupt Status register is set.
If the LINCYC mask bit in the Interrupt Mask register is
enabled, the IRQ output will also go active low. Thus the IRQ
line can also be used to signal the end of a calibration.
As explained in the Reactive Power paragraph, the purpose
of the reactive Energy calculation in the ADE7754 is not to
give an accurate measurement of this value but to to provide
the sign of the the reactive energy. The ADE7754 provides
an accurate measurement of the Apparent Energy. As the
active energy is also measured in the ADE7754, a simple
mathematical formula can be used to extract the Reactive
energy. The evaluation of the sign of the Reactive Energy
makes up the calculation of the Reactive Energy.
Reactive Energy =
Reactive Energy accumulation selection
sign (Reactive Power ) × Apparent Energy 2 − Active Energy 2
The ADE7754 accumulates the Total Reactive Power signal
in the LAENERGY register for an integer number of half
cycles, as shown in Figure 29. This mode is selected by
setting to logic one bit5 of the WAVMode register (Add.
0Ch). When this bit is set the accumulation of the Active
Energy over half line cycles in the LAENERGY register is
disabled and is done instead in the LVAENERGY register.
In this mode, the accumulation of the Apparent Energy over
half line cycles in the LVAENERGY is no-longer available
- See Figure 31.

APPARENT POWER CALCULATION
Apparent Power
Apparent power is defined as the maximum active power that
can be delivered to a load. As Vrms and Irms are the effective
voltage and current delivered to the load, the Apparent Power
(AP) is defined as Vrms x Irms.
Voltage channel and Current channel 0.5V / GAIN
13A929h
D1B71h
Note that the Apparent power is equal to the multiplication
of the RMS values of the voltage and current inputs. For a
poly-phase system, the RMS values of the current and voltage
inputs of each phase (A, B and C) are multiplied together to
obtain the apparent power information of each phase. The
total apparent power is the sum of the apparent powers of all
the phases. The different solutions available to process the
total apparent power are discussed in the following paragraph.
Figure 32 illustrates graphically the signal processing in each
phase for the calculation of the Apparent Power in the

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
done by calibrating each individual RMS measurements.

Figure 32 - Apparent Power Signal Processing
The Apparent Power is calculated with the Current and
Voltage RMS values obtained in the RMS blocks of the
ADE7754. Shown in Figure 33 is the maximum code
(Hexadecimal) output range of the Apparent Power signal for
each phase. Note that the output range changes depending on
the contents of the Apparent Power Gain registers but also on
the contents of the Active Power Gain and Voltage Gain
registers – see Current RMS calculation and Voltage RMS
calculation. Only the effect of the Apparent Power Gain is
shown on Figure 33. The minimum output range is given
when the Apparent Power Gain register content is equal to
800h and the maximum range is given by writing 7FFh to the
Apparent Power Gain register. This can be used to calibrate
the Apparent Power (or Energy) calculation in the ADE7754
for each phase and also the Total Apparent Energy -see Total
Apparent Power calculation.
The sum of the Apparent powers coming from each phase
gives the total Apparent Power consumption. Different combinations of the three phases can be selected in the sum by
setting bits 7-6 of the VAMode register (mnemonic

APPARENT ENERGY CALCULATION
The Apparent Energy is given as the integral of the Apparent
Power.
Apparent Energy =
∫ Apparent Power(t ) dt
The ADE7754 achieves the integration of the Apparent
Power signal by continuously accumulating the Apparent
Power signal in an internal non-readable 49-bit register. The
Apparent Energy register (VAENERGY[23:0]) represents
the upper 24 bits of this internal register. This discrete time
accumulation or summation is equivalent to integration in
continuous time. Equation 22 below expresses the relationship

∞
Apparent Energy = Lim ∑ Apparent Power ( nT ) × T  (22)


Where n is the discrete time sample number and T is the
sample period.
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation
register in the ADE7754 is 1.2µs (12/10MHz).
Figure 35 shows a graphical representation of this discrete
time integration or accumulation. The Apparent Power
signal is continuously added to the internal register. This
addition is a signed addition even if the Apparent Energy
remains theoretically always positive.

Different gain calibration parameters are offered in the

VAGAIN, have different purposes in the signal processing of
the ADE7754.
APGAIN registers affect the Apparent power calculation but
should be used only for Active Power calibration. VAGAIN
registers are used to calibrate the Apparent Power calculation.
VGAIN registers have the same effect as VAGAIN registers
when VAMOD=0 or 2. They should be left at their default
value in these modes. VGAIN registers should be used to
compensate gain mismatches between channels in
VAMOD=1.

in the 24-bit Apparent Energy register (VAENERGY[23:0]).
RVAENERGY register (24 bits long) is provided to read the

Each one of three phases zero-crossing detection can contribute to the accumulation of the half line cycles. Phase A, B and
C zero crossings are taken into account when counting the
number of half line cycle by setting to logic one bits 4-6 of
the MMODE register. Selecting phases for the Zero crossing
counting has also the effect of enabling the Zero-crossing
detection, Zero-crossing Time-Out and Period Measurement for the corresponding phase as described in the
Zero-crossing Detection paragraph.
The number of half line cycles is specified in the LINCYC
register. LINCYC is an unsigned 16-bit register. The
ADE7754 can accumulate Apparent Power for up to 65535
combined half cycles. Because the Apparent Power is integrated on the same integral number of line cycles as the Line
Active Energy register, these two values can be compared
easily - see Energy Scaling. The active and apparent Energy
are calculated more accurately because of this precise timing
control and provide all the information needed for Reactive
Power and Power Factor calculation. At the end of an energy
calibration cycle the LINCYC flag in the Interrupt Status
register is set. If the LINCYC mask bit in the Interrupt Mask
register is enabled, the IRQ output will also go active low.
Thus the IRQ line can also be used to signal the end of a
calibration.

CHECK SUM REGISTER
The ADE7754 has a check sum register (CHECKSUM[5:0])
to ensure the data bits received in the last serial read
operation are not corrupted. The 6-bit Checksum register is
reset before the first bit (MSB of the register to be read) is
put on the DOUT pin. During a serial read operation, when
each data bit becomes available on the rising edge of SCLK,
the bit will be added to the Checksum register. In the end of
the serial read operation, the content of the Checksum
register will equal to the sum of all ones in the register
previously read. Using the Checksum register, the user can
determine if an error has occurred during the last read
operation.
Note that a read to the Checksum register will also generate
a checksum of the Checksum register itself.
The Line Apparent Energy accumulation uses the same
signal path as the Apparent Energy accumulation. The LSB
size of these two registers is equivalent.
The ADE7754 accumulates the Total Reactive Power signal
in the LAENERGY register. This mode is selected by setting
to logic one bit5 of the WAVMode register (Add. 0Ch).
When this bit is set the accumulation of the Active Energy
over half line cycles in the LAENERGY register is disabled
and is done instead in the LVAENERGY register. In this
mode, the accumulation of the Apparent Energy over half line
cycles in the LVAENERGY is no-longer available - see
Figure 31. As the LVAENERGY register is an unsigned
value, the accumulation of the active energy in the
LVAENERGY register is unsigned. In this mode (reactive
energy), the selection of the phases accumulated in the
LAENERGY and LVAENERGY registers is done by the
LWATSEL selection bits of the WATMode register.

ADE7754
ADE7754 SERIAL INTERFACE
ADE7754 has a built-in SPI interface. The Serial Interface
of the ADE7754 is made of four signals SCLK, DIN,
DOUT and CS. The serial clock for a data transfer is applied
at the SCLK logic input. This logic input has a Schmidttrigger input structure, which allows slow rising (and falling)
clock edges to be used. All data transfer operations are
synchronized to the serial clock. Data is shifted into the
ADE7754 at the DIN logic input on the falling edge of
SCLK. Data is shifted out of the ADE7754 at the DOUT
logic output on a rising edge of SCLK. The CS logic input
is the chip select input. This input is used when multiple
devices share the serial bus. A falling edge on CS also resets
the serial interface and places the ADE7754 in communications mode. The CS input should be driven low for the entire
data transfer operation. Bringing CS high during a data
transfer operation will abort the transfer and place the serial
bus in a high impedance state. The CS logic input may be tied
low if the ADE7754 is the only device on the serial bus.
However with CS tied low, all initiated data transfer operations must be fully completed, i.e., the LSB of each register
must be transferred as there is no other way of bringing the
ADE7754 back into communications mode without resetting
the entire device, i.e., setting the RESET pin logic low.
All the ADE7754 functionality is accessible via several onchip registers – see Figure 39. The contents of these registers
can be updated or read using the on-chip serial interface.
After power-on or toggling the RESET pin low or a falling
edge on CS, the ADE7754 is placed in communications
mode. In communications mode the ADE7754 expects the
first communication to be a write to the internal Communications register. The data written to the Communications
register contains the address and specifies the next data
transfer to be a read or a write command. Therefore all data
transfer operations with the ADE7754, whether a read or a
write, must begin with a write to the Communications
register.

Figure 39– Addressing ADE7754 Registers via the

The Communications register is an eight bit write only
register. The MSB determines whether the next data transfer
operation is a read or a write. The 6 LSBs contain the address
of the register to be accessed. See ADE7754 Communications
Register for a more detailed description.
Figure 40 and Figure 41 show the data transfer sequences for
a read and write operation respectively.

serial interface
A data transfer is completed when the LSB of the ADE7754
register being addressed (for a write or a read) is transferred
to or from the ADE7754.
ADE7754 Serial Write Operation
The serial write sequence takes place as follows: with the
ADE7754 in communications mode and the CS input logic
low, a write to the communications register first takes place.
The MSB of this byte transfer must be set to 1, indicating that
the next data transfer operation is a write to the register. The
six LSBs of this byte contain the address of the register to be
written to. The ADE7754 starts shifting in the register data
on the next falling edge of SCLK. All remaining bits of
register data are shifted in on the falling edge of subsequent
SCLK pulses – see Figure 42.
As explained earlier the data write is initiated by a write to the
Communications register followed by the data. During a data
write operation to the ADE7754, data is transferred to all onchip registers one byte at a time. After a byte is transferred
into the serial port, there is a finite time duration before the
content in the serial port buffer is transferred to one of the
ADE7754 on-chip registers. Although another byte transfer
to the serial port can start while the previous byte is being
transferred to the destination register, this second byte
transfer should not finish until at least TBD after the end of
the previous byte transfer. This functionality is expressed in
the timing specification t6 - see Figure 42. If a write operation
is aborted during a byte transfer (CS brought high), then that
byte will not be written to the destination register.
Destination registers may be up to 3 bytes wide – see
ADE7754 Register Descriptions. Hence the first byte shifted
into the serial port at DIN is transferred to the MSB (Most
significant Byte) of the destination register. If the destination
register is 12 bits wide, for example, a two-byte data transfer
must take place. The data is always assumed to be right
justified, therefore in this case, the four MSBs of the first byte
would be ignored and the 4 LSBs of the first byte written to
the ADE7754 would be the 4MSBs of the 12-bit word.
Figure 43 illustrates this example.

again as soon as the read has been completed. The DOUT
logic output enters a high impedance state on the falling edge
of the last SCLK pulse. The read operation may be aborted
by bringing the CS logic input high before the data transfer
is completed. The DOUT output enters a high impedance
state on the rising edge of CS.
When an ADE7754 register is addressed for a read operation,
the entire contents of that register are transferred to the Serial
port. This allows the ADE7754 to modify its on-chip
registers without the risk of corrupting data during a multi
byte transfer.
Note: when a read operation follows a write operation, the
read command (i.e., write to communications register)
should not happen for at least TBD after the end of the write
operation. If the read command is sent within TBD of the
write operation, the last byte of the write operation may be
lost. The is given as timing specification t15.
ADE7754 Serial Read Operation
During a data read operation from the ADE7754 data is
shifted out at the DOUT logic output on the rising edge of
SCLK. As was the case with the data write operation, a data
read must be preceded with a write to the Communications
register.
With the ADE7754 in communications mode and CS logic
low an eight bit write to the Communications register first
takes place. The MSB of this byte transfer must be a 0,
indicating that the next data transfer operation is a read. The
six LSBs of this byte contain the address of the register which
is to be read. The ADE7754 starts shifting out of the register
data on the next rising edge of SCLK – see Figure 44. At this
point the DOUT logic output switches from high impedance
state and starts driving the data bus. All remaining bits of
register data are shifted out on subsequent SCLK rising
edges. The serial interface enters communications mode

using the global interrupt mask bit. At this point the MCU
external interrupt flag can be cleared in order to capture
interrupt events which occur during the current ISR. When
the MCU interrupt flag is cleared, a read from the Reset
Interrupt Status register with reset is carried out. This will
cause the IRQ line to be reset logic high (t2)—see Interrupt
timing. The Reset Interrupt Status register contents are used
to determine the source of the interrupt(s) and hence the
appropriate action to be taken. If a subsequent interrupt event
occurs during the ISR (t3), that event will be recorded by the
MCU external interrupt flag being set again. On returning
from the ISR, the global interrupt mask bit will be cleared
(same instruction cycle) and the external interrupt flag will
cause the MCU to jump to its ISR once again. This will
ensure that the MCU does not miss any external interrupts.
ADE7754 INTERRUPTS
ADE7754 Interrupts are managed through the Interrupt
Status register (STATUS[15:0], Address 10h) and the Interrupt Mask register (MASK[15:0], Address 0Fh). When an
interrupt event occurs in the ADE7754, the corresponding
flag in the Interrupt Status register is set to a logic one - see
ADE7754 Interrupt Status register. If the mask bit for this interrupt
in the Interrupt Mask register is logic one, then the IRQ logic
output goes active low. The flag bits in the Interrupt Status
register are set irrespective of the state of the mask bits.
In order to determine the source of the interrupt, the system
master (MCU) should perform a read from the Reset Interrupt Status register with reset. This is achieved by carrying
out a read from address 11h. The IRQ output will go logic
high on completion of the Interrupt Status register read
command—see Interrupt timing. When carrying out a read with
reset the ADE7754 is designed to ensure that no interrupt
events are missed. If an interrupt event occurs just as the
Interrupt Status register is being read, the event will not be
lost and the IRQ logic output is guaranteed to go high for the
duration of the Interrupt Status register data transfer before
going logic low again to indicate the pending interrupt.
Interrupt timing
The ADE7754 Serial Interface section should be reviewed first
before reviewing the interrupt timing. As previously described, when the IRQ output goes low the MCU ISR must
read the Interrupt Status register in order to determine the
source of the interrupt. When reading the Interrupt Status
register contents, the IRQ output is set high on the last falling
edge of SCLK of the first byte transfer (read Interrupt Status
register command). The IRQ output is held high until the last
bit of the next 8-bit transfer is shifted out (Interrupt Status
register contents). See Figure 46. If an interrupt is pending
at this time, the IRQ output will go low again. If no interrupt
is pending the IRQ output will remain high.
Using the ADE7754 Interrupts with an MCU
Shown in Figure 45 is a timing diagram which illustrates a
suggested implementation of ADE7754 interrupt management using an MCU. At time t1 the IRQ line will go active
low indicating that one or more interrupt events have occurred in the ADE7754. The IRQ logic output should be tied
to a negative edge triggered external interrupt on the MCU.
On detection of the negative edge, the MCU should be
configured to start executing its Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR). On entering the ISR, all interrupts should be disabled

ACCESSING THE ADE7754 ON-CHIP REGISTERS
All ADE7754 functionality is accessed via the on-chip registers. Each register is accessed by first writing to the
communications register and then transferring the register data. For a full description of the serial interface protocol, see Serial
Interface section of this data sheet.
Communications Register
The Communications register is an eight bit, write-only register which controls the serial data transfer between the ADE7754
and the host processor. All data transfer operations must begin with a write to the communications register. The data written
to the communications register determines whether the next operation is a read or a write and which register is being accessed.
Table VII below outlines the bit designations for the Communications register.

ADE7754
Interrupt Status Register (10h) / Reset Interrupt Status Register (11h)
The Interrupt Status Register is used to determine the source of an interrupt event. When an interrupt event occurs in the
ADE7754, the corresponding flag in the Interrupt Status Register is set logic high. The IRQ pin will go active low if the
corresponding bit in the Interrupt Mask register is set logic high. When the MCU services the interrupt, it must first carry
out a read from the Interrupt Status Register to determine the source of the interrupt. All the interrupts in the Interrupt Status
Register stay at their logic high state after an event occurs. The state of the interrupt bit in the Interrupt Status register is reset
to its default value once the Reset Interrupt Status register is read.
