ADE7758
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(Continued from Page 1)
The ADE7758 has a waveform sample register that allows access
to the ADC outputs. The part also incorporates a detection circuit
for short duration low or high voltage variations. The voltage
threshold levels and the duration (number of half-line cycles) of
the variation are user programmable. A zero-crossing detection
is synchronized with the zero-crossing point of the line voltage
of any of the three phases. This information can be used to
measure the period of any one of the three voltage inputs. It is
also used internally to the chip in the line cycle energy accumulation mode. This mode permits faster and more accurate
calibration by synchronizing the energy accumulation with an
integer number of line cycles.
Data is read from the ADE7758 via the SPI serial interface. The
interrupt request output (IRQ) is an open-drain, active low
logic output. The IRQ output goes active low when one or more
interrupt events have occurred in the ADE7758. A status register
indicates the nature of the interrupt. The ADE7758 is available
in a 24-lead SOIC package.

Description
Active Power Calibration Frequency (APCF) Logic Output. It provides active power information. This output is
used for operational and calibration purposes. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by writing to the
APCFNUM and APCFDEN registers (see the Active Power Frequency Output section).
This provides the ground reference for the digital circuitry in the ADE7758, i.e., the multiplier, filters, and
digital-to-frequency converter. Because the digital return currents in the ADE7758 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.
Digital Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the digital circuitry in the ADE7758. The supply
voltage should be maintained at 5 V ± 5% for specified operation. This pin should be decoupled to DGND with
a 10 µF capacitor in parallel with a ceramic 100 nF capacitor.
Analog Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the analog circuitry in the ADE7758. 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. The Typical Performance Characteristics
graphs show the power supply rejection performance. This pin should be decoupled to AGND with a 10 µF
capacitor in parallel with a ceramic 100 nF capacitor.
Analog Inputs for Current Channel. This channel is used with the current transducer and is referenced in this
document as the current channel. These inputs are fully differential voltage inputs with maximum differential
input signal levels of ±0.5 V, ±0.25 V, and ±0.125 V, depending on the gain selections of the internal PGA (see
the Analog Inputs sections).
All 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.
This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry in the ADE7758, 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, for example, antialiasing filters,
current, and voltage transducers. In order to keep ground noise around the ADE7758 to a minimum, the quiet
ground plane should only be connected to the digital ground plane at one point. It is acceptable to place the
entire device on the analog ground plane.
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.
Analog Inputs for the Voltage Channel. This channel is used with the voltage transducer and is referenced as
the voltage channels in this document. These inputs are single-ended voltage inputs with the maximum
signal level of ±0.5 V with respect to VN for specified operation. These inputs are voltage inputs with
maximum input signal levels of ±0.5 V, ±0.25 V, and ±0.125 V, depending on the gain selections of the internal
PGA (see the Analog Inputs section).
All 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.

Description
Reactive Power Calibration Frequency Logic Output. It gives reactive power or apparent power information
depending on the setting of the VACF bit of the WAVMODE register. This output is used for operational and
calibration purposes. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by writing to the VARCFNUM and
VARCFDEN registers (see the Reactive Power Frequency Output section).
Interrupt Request Output. This is an active low open-drain logic output. Maskable interrupts include: active
energy register at half level, apparent energy register at half level, and waveform sampling up to 26 kSPS (see
the ADE7758 Interrupts section).
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 ADE7758. The clock frequency for specified operation is 10 MHz. Ceramic load capacitors of a
few tens of picofarad should be used with the gate oscillator circuit. Refer to the crystal manufacturer’s data
sheet for the load capacitance requirements
A crystal can be connected across this pin and CLKIN as previously described to provide a clock source for the
ADE7758. The CLKOUT pin can drive one CMOS load when either an external clock is supplied at CLKIN or a
crystal is being used.
Chip Select. Part of the 4-wire serial interface. This active low logic input allows the ADE7758 to share the serial
bus with several other devices (see the ADE7758 Serial Interface section).
Data Input for the Serial Interface. Data is shifted in at this pin on the falling edge of SCLK (see the ADE7758
Serial Interface section).
Serial Clock Input for the Synchronous Serial Interface. All serial data transfers are synchronized to this clock
(see the ADE7758 Serial Interface section). The SCLK has a Schmidt-trigger input for use with a clock source
which has a slow edge transition time, for example, opto-isolator outputs.
Data Output for the Serial Interface. Data is shifted out at this pin on the rising edge of SCLK. This logic output
is normally in a high impedance state, unless it is driving data onto the serial data bus (see the ADE7758 Serial
Interface section).

ADE7758
TERMINOLOGY
Measurement Error
The error associated with the energy measurement made by the
ADE7758 is defined by the following formula
Measuremen t Error =
Energy Registered by ADE7758 – True Energy
× 100%
True Energy
Phase Error between Channels
The high-pass filter and digital integrator introduce a slight
phase mismatch between the current and the voltage channel.
The all-digital design ensures that the phase matching between
the current channels and voltage channels in all three phases is
within ±0.1° over a range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz and ±0.2° over a
range of 40 Hz to 1 kHz. This internal phase mismatch can be
combined with the external phase error (from current sensor or
component tolerance) and calibrated with the phase calibration
registers.
Power Supply Rejection
This quantifies the ADE7758 measurement error as a
percentage of reading when the power supplies are varied. For
the ac PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies (5 V) is
taken. A second reading is obtained with the same input signal
levels when an ac signal (175 mV rms/100 Hz) is introduced
onto the supplies. Any error introduced by this ac signal is
expressed as a percentage of reading—see the Measurement
Error definition.
For the dc PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies
(5 V) 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 the reading.
ADC Offset 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 dc analog input signal. The
magnitude of the offset depends on the gain and input range
selection (see the Typical Performance Characteristics section).
However, when HPFs are switched on, the offset is removed
from the current channels and the power calculation is not
affected by this offset.
Gain Error
The gain error in the ADCs of the ADE7758 is defined as the
difference between the measured ADC output code (minus the
offset) and the ideal output code (see the Current Channel ADC
and Voltage Channel ADC sections). 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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
ANALOG INPUTS
The ADE7758 has a total of six analog inputs divided into two
channels: current and voltage. The current channel consists of
three pairs of fully differential voltage inputs: IAP and IAN, IBP
and IBN, and ICP and ICN. These fully differential voltage
input pairs have a maximum differential signal of ±0.5 V. The
current channel has a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with
possible gain selection of 1, 2, or 4. In addition to the PGA, the
current channels also have a full-scale input range selection for
the ADC. The ADC analog input range selection is also made
using the gain register (see Figure 38). As mentioned previously,
the maximum differential input voltage is ±0.5 V. However, by
using Bit 3 and Bit 4 in the gain register, the maximum ADC
input voltage can be set to ±0.5 V, ±0.25 V, or ±0.125 V on the
current channels. This is achieved by adjusting the ADC
reference (see the Reference Circuit section).
Figure 36 shows the maximum signal levels on the current
channel inputs. The maximum common-mode signal is
±25 mV as shown in Figure 36.
Figure 37 shows the maximum signal levels on the voltage
channel inputs. The maximum common-mode signal is
±25 mV as shown in Figure 36.

The gain selections are made by writing to the gain register.
Bit 0 to Bit 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 Bit 5 to Bit 6. Figure 38
shows how a gain selection for the current channel is made
using the gain register.

The need for this filter is that it prevents aliasing. Aliasing is an
artifact of all sampled systems. Input signals with frequency
components higher than half the ADC sampling rate distort the
sampled signal at a frequency below half the sampling rate. This
will happen with all ADCs, regardless of the architecture. The
combination of the high sampling rate ∑-∆ ADC used in the
ADE7758 with the relatively low bandwidth of the energy meter
allows a very simple low-pass filter (LPF) to be used as an
antialiasing filter. A simple RC filter (single pole) with a corner
frequency of 10 kHz produces an attenuation of approximately
40 dB at 833 kHz. This is usually sufficient to eliminate the
effects of aliasing.

Bit 7 of the gain register is used to enable the digital integrator
in the current signal path. Setting this bit will activate the digital
integrator (see the di/dt Current Sensor and Digital Integrator
section).

CURRENT CHANNEL ADC
Current Channel Sampling
Figure 41 shows the ADC and signal processing path for the
input IA of the current channels (same for IB and IC). In
waveform sampling mode, the ADC outputs are signed twos
complement 24-bit data-words at a maximum of 26.0 kSPS
(thousand samples per second). With the specified full-scale
analog input signal of ±0.5 V, the ADC produces its maximum
output code value (see Figure 41). This diagram shows a fullscale voltage signal being applied to the differential inputs IAP
and IAN. The ADC output swings between 0xD7AE14
(−2,642,412) and 0x2851EC (+2,642,412).
The waveform samples of the current channel can be routed to
the WFORM register at fixed sampling rates by setting the
WAVSEL[2:0] bit in the WAVMODE register to 000 (binary).
The phase in which the samples are routed is set by setting the
PHSEL[1:0] bits in the WAVMODE register. Energy calculation
remains uninterrupted during waveform sampling.
When in waveform sample mode, one of four output sample
rates may be chosen by using Bit 5 and Bit 6 of the WAVMODE
register (DTRT[1:0]). The output sample rate may be 26.0 kSPS,
13.0 kSPS, 6.5 kSPS, or 3.3 kSPS (see Table 16). By setting the
WSMP bit in the interrupt mask register to Logic 1, the interrupt
request output IRQ goes active low when a sample is available.
The timing is shown in Figure 40. The 24-bit waveform samples
are transferred from the ADE7758 one byte (8-bits) at a time,
with the most significant byte shifted out first.
Current Waveform Gain Registers
There is a multiplier in the signal path in the current channel
for each phase. The current waveform can be changed by ±50%
by writing a twos complement number to the 12-bit signed
current waveform gain registers (AIGAIN[11:0], BIGAIN[11:0],
and CIGAIN[11:0]). For example, if 0x7FF is written to those
registers, the ADC output is scaled up by +50%. On the other
hand, writing 0x800 scaled by the output –50%. The expression
below describes mathematically the function of the current
waveform gain registers.

The interrupt request output IRQ stays low until the interrupt

The current signal needs to be recovered from the di/dt signal
before it can be used. An integrator is therefore necessary to
restore the signal to its original form. The ADE7758 has a builtin digital integrator to recover the current signal from the di/dt
sensor. The digital integrator on Channel 1 is switched on by
default when the ADE7758 is powered up. Setting the MSB of
the GAIN[7:0] register turns on the integrator. Figure 43 to
Figure 46 show the magnitude and phase response of the digital
integrator.

MAGNITUDE (dB)
The flux density of a magnetic field induced by a current is
directly proportional to the magnitude of the current. The
changes in the magnetic flux density passing through a conductor
loop generate an electromotive force (EMF) between the two
ends of the loop. The EMF is a voltage signal that is proportional
to the di/dt of the current. The voltage output from the di/dt
current sensor is determined by the mutual inductance between
the current carrying conductor and the di/dt sensor.

ADE7758
Note that the integrator has a −20 dB/dec attenuation and
approximately −90° phase shift. When combined with a di/dt
sensor, the resulting magnitude and phase response should be a
flat gain over the frequency band of interest. However, the di/dt
sensor has a 20 dB/dec gain associated with it and generates
significant high frequency noise. A more effective antialiasing filter
is needed to avoid noise due to aliasing (see the Theory of
Operation section).
When the digital integrator is switched off, the ADE7758 can be
used directly with a conventional current sensor, such as a
current transformer (CT) or a low resistance current shunt.
Note that the number of half-line cycles is based on counting
the zero crossing of the voltage channel. The ZXSEL[2:0] bits in
the LCYCMODE register determine which voltage channels are
used for the zero-crossing detection. The same signal is also
used for line cycle energy accumulation mode if activated (see
the Line Cycle Accumulation Mode Register (0x17) section).

Figure 47. Peak Current Detection Using the IPEAK Register
Note that the content of the IPEAK register is equivalent to Bit 14
to Bit 21 of the current waveform sample. At full-scale analog
input, the current waveform sample is 0x2851EC . The IPEAK
at full-scale input is therefore expected to be 0xA1.
In addition, multiple phases can be activated for the peak
detection simultaneously by setting multiple bits to logic high
among the PEAKSEL[2:4] bits in the MMODE register. These
bits select the phase for both voltage and current peak measurements. Note that if more than one bit is set, the VPEAK and
IPEAK registers can hold values from two different phases, that
is, the voltage and current peak are independently processed
(see the Peak Current Detection section).
Note that the content of the IPINTLVL[7:0] register is equivalent
to Bit 14 to Bit 21 of the current waveform sample. Therefore,
setting this register to A1 (hex) represents putting peak detection
at full-scale analog input. Figure 48 shows a current exceeding a
threshold. The overcurrent event is recorded by setting the PKI
flag (Bit 15) in the interrupt status register. If the PKI enable bit
is set to Logic 1 in the interrupt mask register, the IRQ logic
output goes active low (see the ADE7758 Interrupts section).
Similar to peak level detection, multiple phases can be activated
for peak detection. If any of the active phase produces waveform
samples above the threshold, the PKI flag in the interrupt status
register is set. The phase of which overcurrent is monitored is
set by the PKIRQSEL[2:0] bits in the MMODE register (see
Table 15).

Voltage Channel Sampling
The waveform samples on the voltage channels can also be
routed to the WFORM register. However, before passing to the
WFORM register, the ADC outputs pass through a single-pole,
low-pass filter (LPF1) with a cutoff frequency at 260 Hz.
Figure 50 shows the magnitude and phase response of LPF1.
This filter attenuates the signal slightly. For example, if the line
frequency is 60 Hz, the signal at the output of LPF1 is attenuated
by 3.575%. The waveform samples are 16-bit, twos complement
data ranging between 0x2748 (+10,056d) and 0xD8B8 (−10,056d).
The data are sign extended to 24 bit in the WFORM register.

For active and reactive energy measurements, the output of the
ADC passes directly to the multipliers and is not filtered. This
solution avoids the much larger multibit multiplier and does not
affect the accuracy of the measurement. A HPF is not implemented on the voltage channel to remove the dc offset because
the HPF on the current channel alone should be sufficient to
eliminate error due to ADC offsets in the power calculation.
However, ADC offset in the voltage channels produces large
errors in the voltage rms calculation and affects the accuracy
of the apparent energy calculation.
Figure 50. Magnitude and Phase Response of LPF1
Note that LPF1 does not affect the active and reactive energy
calculation because it is used only in the waveform sampling
signal path. However, waveform samples are used for the
voltage rms calculation and the subsequent apparent energy
accumulation.
WAVSEL[2:0] bits in the WAVMODE register should be set to
001 (binary) to start voltage waveform sampling. PHSEL[1:0]
bits control the phase from which the samples are routed. When
in waveform sampling mode, one of four output sample rates
can be chosen by changing Bit 5 and Bit 6 of the WAVMODE
register (see Table 16). The available output sample rates are
26.0 kSPS, 13.5 kSPS, 6.5 kSPS, or 3.3 kSPS. By setting the WSMP
bit in the interrupt mask register to Logic 1, the interrupt request
output IRQ goes active low when a sample is available. Figure 40
shows the timing. The 24-bit waveform samples are transferred
from the ADE7758 one byte (8 bits) at a time, with the most
significant byte shifted out first. The sign of the register is
extended in the upper 8 bits. The timing is the same as that
for the current channels (see Figure 40).

crossing timeout register (ZXTOUT[15:0], Address 0x1B),
every time a zero crossing is detected on its associated input.
The default value of ZXTOUT is 0xFFFF. If the internal register
decrements to 0 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[15:0]. The ZXTOx
detection bit of the corresponding phase in the interrupt status
register is then switched on (Bit 9 to Bit 11). An active low on
the IRQ output also appears if the ZXTOx mask bit for the
corresponding phase in the interrupt mask register is set to
Logic 1. Figure 52 shows the mechanism of the zero-crossing
timeout detection when the line voltage A stays at a fixed dc
level for more than CLKIN/384 × ZXTOUT[15:0] seconds.
ZERO-CROSSING DETECTION
The ADE7758 has zero-crossing detection circuits for each of
the voltage channels (VAN, VBN, or VCN). Figure 51 shows

When one phase crosses from negative to positive, the

appears if the corresponding ZX bit in the interrupt mask
register is set to Logic 1. Note that only zero crossing from
negative to positive will generate an interrupt.
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.
Zero-Crossing Timeout
Each zero-crossing detection has an associated internal timeout
register (not accessible to the user). This unsigned, 16-bit register
is decreased by 1 every 384/CLKIN seconds. The registers are

DETECTION BIT
The zero-crossing interrupt is generated from the output of
LPF1. LPF1 has a single pole at 260 Hz (CLKIN = 10 MHz).
As a result, there is 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. The phase lag response of LPF1 results in a time delay
of approximately 1.1 ms (@ 60 Hz) between the zero-crossing
signal on the voltage inputs of the zero-crossing signal. Note
that the zero-crossing signal is used for the line cycle accumulation mode, zero-crossing interrupt, and line period/frequency
measurement.
Figure 52. Zero-Crossing Timeout Detection
PHASE COMPENSATION
When the HPF in the current channel is disabled, the phase
error between the current channel (IA, IB, or IC) and the
corresponding voltage channel (VA, VB, or VC) is negligible.
When the HPF is enabled, the current channels have phase
response (see Figure 53 and Figure 54). Figure 55 is the magnitude response of the filter. The phase response is almost 0 from
45 Hz to 1 kHz. The frequency band is sufficient for the
requirements of typical energy measurement applications.
However, despite being internally phase compensated, the
ADE7758 must work with transducers that may have inherent
phase errors. For example, a current transformer (CT) with a
phase error of 0.1° to 0.3° is not uncommon. 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 ADE7758 provides a means of digitally calibrating
these small phase errors. The ADE7758 allows a small time delay
or time advance to be introduced into the signal processing
chain in order to compensate for the small phase errors.
Rev. A | Page 24 of 68

The phase calibration registers (APHCAL, BPHCAL, and
CPHCAL) are twos complement, 7-bit signed registers that can
vary the time advance/delay in the voltage channel signal path
from –151.2 µs to +75.6 µs (CLKIN = 10 MHz). One LSB is
equivalent to 1.2 µs of time delay or 2.4 µs of time advance.
With a line frequency of 50 Hz, this gives a phase resolution of
0.026° at the fundamental, i.e., 360° × 1.2 µs × 60 Hz, in the positive
direction and 0.052° in the negative direction. This corresponds to
a total correction range of −2.72° to +1.36° at 50 Hz.

Figure 56 illustrates how the phase compensation is used to
remove a 0.1° phase lead in IA of the current channel from the
external current transducer. In order to cancel the lead (0.1°) in
the current channel of Phase A, a phase lead must be introduced
into the corresponding voltage channel. The resolution of the
phase adjustment allows the introduction of a phase lead of
0.104°. The phase lead is achieved by introducing a time advance
into VA. A time advance of −4.8 µs is made by writing −4 (0x3C)
to the time delay block (APHCAL[7:0]), thus reducing the
amount of time delay by 4.8 µs or equivalently, 360° × 4.8 µs ×
60 Hz = 0.104° at 60 Hz.

PERIOD MEASUREMENT
The ADE7758 provides the period or frequency measurement
of the line voltage. The period is measured on the phase
specified by Bit 0 to Bit 1 of the MMODE register. The period
register is an unsigned 12-bit FREQ register and is updated
every 4 periods of the selected phase.
Bit 7 of the LCYCMODE selects whether the period register
displays the frequency or the period. Setting this bit to logic
high causes the register to display the period. The default
setting is logic low, which causes the register to display the
frequency.
When set to measure the period, the resolution of this register is
96/CLKIN per LSB (9.6 µs/LSB when CLKIN is 10 MHz),
which represents 0.06% when the line frequency is 60 Hz. At 60
Hz, the value of the period register is 1737d. At 50 Hz, the value
of the period register is 2084d. When set to measure frequency,
the value of the period register is approximately 960d at 60 Hz
and 800d at 50 Hz. This is equivalent to 0.0625 Hz/LSB.
LINE VOLTAGE SAG DETECTION
section). The phases are compared to the same parameters
defined in the SAGLVL and SAGCYC registers.
SAG LEVEL SET
The contents of the single-byte SAG level register, SAGLVL[0:7],
are compared to the absolute value of Bit 6 to Bit 13 from the
voltage waveform samples. For example, the nominal maximum
code of the voltage channel waveform samples with a full-scale
signal input at 60 Hz is 0x249C (see the Voltage Channel
Sampling section). Bit 13 to Bit 6 are 0x92. Therefore, writing
0x92 to the SAG level register puts the SAG detection level at
full scale and sets the SAG detection to its most sensitive value.
The detection is made when the content of the SAGLVL[7:0]
register is greater than the incoming sample. Writing 0x00 puts
the SAG detection level at 0. The detection of a decrease of an
input voltage is in this case disabled.
PEAK VOLTAGE DETECTION
The ADE7758 can record the peak of the voltage waveform and
produce an interrupt if the current exceeds a preset limit.
Peak Voltage Detection Using the VPEAK Register
The ADE7758 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 57.
The peak absolute value of the voltage waveform within a fixed
number of half-line cycles is stored in the VPEAK register.
Figure 58 illustrates the timing behavior of the peak voltage
detection.

Since the SAG cycle register indicates a six half-cycle threshold
(SAGCYC[7:0] = 0x06), 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 Bit 3 in the
interrupt status register). If the SAG enable bit is set to Logic 1
for this phase (Bit 1 to Bit 3 in the interrupt mask register), the

Note that the content of the VPEAK register is equivalent to Bit 6

analog input, the voltage waveform sample at 60 Hz is 0x249C.
The VPEAK at full-scale input is, therefore, expected to be 0x92.
In addition, multiple phases can be activated for the peak
detection simultaneously by setting multiple bits to logic high
among the PEAKSEL[2:4] bits in the MMODE register. These
bits select the phase for both voltage and current peak measurements. Note that if more than one bit is set, the VPEAK and

the voltage and current peak are independently processed (see

Note that the content of the VPINTLVL[7:0] register is
equivalent to Bit 6 to Bit 13 of the 16-bit voltage waveform
samples; therefore, setting this register to 0x92 represents
putting the peak detection at full-scale analog input. Figure 59
shows a voltage exceeding a threshold. By setting the PKV flag
(Bit 14) in the interrupt status register, the overvoltage event is
recorded. If the PKV enable bit is set to Logic 1 in the interrupt
mask register, the IRQ logic output goes active low (see the
ADE7758 Interrupts section).
Multiple phases can be activated for peak detection. If any
of the active phase produces waveform samples above the
threshold, the PKV flag in the interrupt status register is set.
The phase in which overvoltage is monitored is set by the
PKIRQSEL[5:7] bits in the MMODE register (see Table 15).
POWER-SUPPLY MONITOR
The ADE7758 also contains an on-chip power-supply monitor.
The analog supply (AVDD) is monitored continuously by the
ADE7758. If the supply is less than 4 V ± 5%, the ADE7758
goes into an inactive state, that is, no energy is accumulated
when the supply voltage is below 4 V. 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. Figure 61 shows the behavior of the ADE7758

The ADE7758 has on-chip phase sequence error detection
interrupt. If the zero crossing of Phase A is not followed by
Phase C but by Phase B, the SEQERR bit (Bit 19) in the STATUS
register is set. If SEQERR, Bit 19, is set in the mask register, the
IRQ logic output goes active low (see the ADE7758 Interrupts
section). The following figure depicts how the interrupt is
issued in two different configurations. Note that if it is desired
to have the interrupt occur when Phase A is followed by
Phase B and not Phase C, then the analog inputs for Phase B
and phase C should be swapped. In this case, the Phase B

REFERENCE CIRCUIT
The nominal reference voltage at the REFIN/OUT pin is 2.42 V.
This is the reference voltage used for the ADCs in the ADE7758.
However, the current channels have three input range selections
(full scale is selectable among 0.5 V, 0.25 V, and 0.125 V). This is
achieved by dividing the reference internally by 1, ½, and ¼. The
reference value is used for the ADC in the current channels. Note
that the full-scale selection is only available for the current inputs.
The REFIN/OUT pin can be overdriven by an external source, for
example, an external 2.5 V reference. Note that the nominal
reference value supplied to the ADCs is now 2.5 V and not 2.42 V.
This has the effect of increasing the nominal analog input signal
range by 2.5/2.42 × 100% = 3% or from 0.5 V to 0.5165 V.
The voltage of the ADE7758 reference drifts slightly with
temperature—see the Specifications section for the temperature
coefficient specification (in ppm/°C). The value of the temperature drift varies from part to part. Because the reference is used
for all ADCs, any x% drift in the reference results in a 2x%
deviation of the meter accuracy. The reference drift resulting
from temperature changes is usually very small and typically
much smaller than the drift of other components on a meter.
Alternatively, the meter can be calibrated at multiple
temperatures.
The ADE7758 temperature register varies with power supply.
It is recommended to use the temperature register only in
applications with a fixed, stable power supply. Typical error
with respect to power supply variation is show in Table 5.

Power Supply Variation
Depending on the nominal value of the register, some finite
temperature may cause the register to roll over. This should be
compensated in the MCU.

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 power in the load. Mathematically the
rms value of a continuous signal f(t) is defined as
FRMS =

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The ADE7758 also includes an on-chip temperature sensor. A
temperature measurement is made every 4/CLKIN seconds.
The output from the temperature sensing circuit is connected to
an ADC for digitizing. The resultant code is processed and
placed in the temperature register (TEMP[7:0]). This register
can be read by the user and has an address of 0x11 (see the
ADE7758 Serial Interface section). The contents of the temperature register are signed (twos complement) with a resolution of
3°C/LSB. The offset of this register may vary from part to part
significantly. To calibrate this register, the nominal value should
be measured, and the equation should be adjusted accordingly.
For example, if the temperature register produces a code of 0x00
when the ambient temperature is approximately 70°C, the value
of the register is

The method used to calculate the rms value in the ADE7758 is
to low-pass filter the square of the input signal (LPF3) and take
the square root of the result (see Figure 62).
With
i(t) =
2 × IRMS × sin( ω t)
then
i2(t) = IRMS2 − IRMS2× cos (ω t)
The rms calculation is simultaneously processed on the six analog
input channels. Each result is available in separate registers.
While the ADE7758 measures nonsinusoidal signals, it should
be noted that the voltage rms measurement, and therefore the
apparent energy, are band-limited to 160 Hz. The current rms,
as well as the active power, have a bandwidth of 14 kHz.
Current RMS Calculation
Figure 62 shows the detail of the signal processing chain for the
rms calculation on one of the phases of the current channel. The
current channel rms value is processed from the samples used
in the current channel waveform sampling mode. The current
rms values are stored in unsigned 24-bit registers (AIRMS,
BIRMS, and CIRMS). One LSB of the current rms register is

With the specified full-scale analog input signal of 0.5 V, the
ADC produces an output code that is approximately ±2,642,412d
(see the Current Channel ADC section). The equivalent rms
values of a full-scale sinusoidal signal at 60 Hz is 1,914,753
(0x1D3781).
The accuracy of the current rms is typically 0.2% error
from the full-scale input down to 1/500 of the full-scale input.
Additionally, this measurement has a bandwidth of 14 kHz.
With the specified full-scale ac analog input signal of 0.5 V, the
LPF1 produces an output code that is approximately 63% of its
full-scale value , i.e., ±9,372d, at 60 Hz (see the Voltage Channel
ADC section). The equivalent rms value of a full-scale ac signal
is approximately 1,639,101 (0x1902BD) in the VRMS register.
The accuracy of the VRMS measurement is typically 0.5% error
from the full-scale input down to 1/20 of the full-scale input.
Additionally, this measurement has a bandwidth of 160 Hz.

Current RMS Offset Compensation
The ADE7758 incorporates a current rms offset compensation
for each phase (AIRMSOS, BIRMSOS, and CIRMSOS). These
are 12-bit signed registers that 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 I2(t). The offset calibration allows the contents of
the IRMS registers to be maintained at 0 when no current is
being consumed. One LSB of the current rms offset register is
equivalent to 16,384 (decimal) of the square of the current rms
register. Assuming that the maximum value from the current
rms calculation is 1,868,467d with full-scale ac inputs, one LSB
of the current rms offset represents 0.94% of the measurement
error at −60 dB down of full scale. For details on how to
calibrate the current rms measurement, see the Calibration

The ADE7758 incorporates a voltage rms offset compensation

These are 12-bit signed registers that can be used to remove

rms calculation due to input noises and offsets in the input
samples. It should be noted that the offset calibration does not
allow the contents of the VRMS registers to be maintained at 0
when no voltage is applied. This is caused by noise in the
voltage rms calculation, which limits the usable range between
full scale
and 1/50th of full scale. One LSB of the voltage rms offset is
equivalent to 64 LSBs of the voltage rms register.
Assuming that the maximum value from the voltage rms

Voltage RMS Gain Adjust
The ADC gain in each phase of the voltage channel can be
adjusted for the rms calculation by using the voltage rms gain
registers (AVRMSGAIN, BVRMSGAIN, and CVRMSGAIN).
The gain of the voltage waveforms before LPF1 is adjusted by
writing twos complement, 12-bit words to the voltage rms gain
registers. The expression below shows how the gain adjustment
is related to the contents of the voltage gain register.

phase. Figure 64 shows this process. The active power of each
phase accumulates in the corresponding 16-bit watt-hour
register (AWATTHR, BWATTHR, or CWATTHR). The input to
each active energy register can be changed depending on the
accumulation mode setting (see Table 17).

ACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
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.
Figure 64. Active Power Calculation
Because LPF2 does not have an ideal “brick wall” frequency
response (Figure 65), the active power signal has some ripple
due to the instantaneous power signal. This ripple is sinusoidal
and has a frequency equal to twice the line frequency. Because
the ripple is sinusoidal in nature, it is removed when the active
power signal is integrated over time to calculate the energy.

Active Power Gain Calibration
Sign of Active Power Calculation
Note that the average active power result from the LPF output
in each phase can be scaled by ±50% by writing to the phase’s
watt gain register (AWG, BWG, or CWG). The watt gain registers
are twos complement, signed registers and have a resolution of
0.024%/LSB. The following equation describes mathematically
the function of the watt gain registers.
Note that the average active power is a signed calculation. If the
phase difference between the current and voltage waveform are
more than 90°, the average power becomes negative. Negative
power indicates that energy is being placed back on the grid.
The ADE7758 has a sign detection circuitry for active power
calculation. The REVPAP bit (Bit 17) in the interrupt status
register is set if the average power from any one of the phases
changes sign. The phases monitored are selected by TERMSEL
bits in the COMPMODE register (see Table 17). The TERMSEL
bits are also used to select which phases are included in the
APCF and VARCF pulse outputs. If the REVPAP bit is set in the
mask register, the IRQ logic output goes active low (see the
ADE7758 Interrupts section). Note that this bit is set whenever
there are sign changes, i.e., the REVPAP bit is set for both a
positive-to-negative change or a negative-to-positive change of
the sign bit. The APCFNUM [15:13] indicate reverse power on
each of the individual phases. Bit 15 will be set if the sign of the
power on Phase A is negative, Bit 14 for Phase B, and Bit 13 for
Phase C.

The output is scaled by −50% when the watt gain registers
contents are set to 0x800 and the output is increased by +50%
by writing 0x7FF to the watt gain register. This register can be
used to calibrate the active power (or energy) calculation in the
ADE7758 for each phase.
Active Power Offset Calibration
The ADE7758 also incorporates a watt offset register on each
phase (AWATTOS, BWATTOS, and CWATTOS). These are
signed twos complement, 12-bit registers that are used to remove
offsets in the active power calculations. An offset may exist in
the power calculation due to crosstalk between channels on the
PCB or in the chip itself. The offset calibration allows the contents of the active power register to be maintained at 0 when no
power is being consumed. One LSB in the active power offset
register is equivalent to 1/16 LSB in the active power multiplier
output. At full-scale input, if the output from the multiplier is
0xCCCCD (838,861d), then 1 LSB in the LPF2 output is
equivalent to 0.0075% of measurement error at −60 dB down of
full scale at current channel. At −60 dB down on full scale (the
input signal level is 1/1000 of full-scale signal inputs), the
average word value from LPF2 is 838.861 (838,861/1,000). One
LSB is equivalent to 1/838.861/16 × 100% = 0.0075% of the
measured value. The active power offset register has a correction
resolution equal to 0.0075% at −60 dB.
No-Load Threshold
The ADE7758 has an internal no-load threshold on each phase.
The no-load threshold can be activated by setting the NOLOAD
bit (Bit 7) of the COMPMODE register. If the active power falls
below 0.005% of full-scale input, the energy is not accumulated
in that phase. As stated, the average multiplier output with fullscale input is 0xCCCCD. Therefore, if the average multiplier
output falls below 0x2A, the power is not accumulated to avoid
creep in the meter. The no-load threshold is implemented only
on the active energy accumulation. The reactive and apparent
energies do not have the no-load threshold option.
Active Energy Calculation
As stated earlier, power is defined as the rate of energy flow.
This relationship can be expressed mathematically as Equation 7.

Figure 66 shows a signal path of this energy accumulation. The
average active power signal is continuously added to the internal
active energy register. This addition is a signed operation.
Negative energy is subtracted from the active energy register.
Note the values shown in Figure 65 are the nominal full-scale
values, i.e., the voltage and current inputs at the corresponding
phase are at their full-scale input level. The average active power
is divided by the content of the watt divider register before it is
added to the corresponding watt-hr accumulation registers.

power is accumulated without division. WDIV is an 8-bit
unsigned register that is useful to lengthen the time it takes

maximum factor of 255.
Note that the active energy register content can roll over to fullscale negative (0x8000) and continue increasing in value when
the active power is positive (see Figure 66). Conversely, if the
active power is negative, the energy register would under flow
to full-scale positive (0x7FFF) and continue decreasing in value.
By setting the AEHF bit (Bit 0) of the interrupt mask register,
the ADE7758 can be configured to issue an interrupt (IRQ)
when Bit 14 of any one of the three watt-hr accumulation
registers has changed, indicating that the accumulation register
is half full (positive or negative).
Setting the RSTREAD bit (Bit 6) of the LCYMODE register
enables a read-with-reset for the watt-hr accumulation registers,
i.e., the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.

The ADE7758 achieves the integration of the active power
signal by continuously accumulating the active power signal
in the internal 41-bit energy registers. The watt-hr registers
(AWATTHR, BWATTHR, and CWATTHR) represent the upper
16 bits of these internal registers. This discrete time accumulation
or summation is equivalent to integration in continuous time.
Equation 9 expresses the relationship
ADE7758
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation
register is 0.4 µs (4/CLKIN). With full-scale sinusoidal signals
on the analog inputs and the watt gain registers set to 0x000, the
average word value from each LPF2 is 0xCCCCD (see Figure 64
and Figure 66). The maximum value which can be stored in the
watt-hr accumulation register before it overflows is 215 − 1 or
0x7FFF. Because the average word value is added to the internal
register, which can store 240 − 1 or 0xFF, FFFF, FFFF before it
overflows, the integration time under these conditions with
WDIV = 0 is calculated as
Time =
0xFF, FFFF, FFFF
× 0.4 μs = 0.524 second

When WDIV is set to a value different from 0, the time before
overflow is scaled accordingly as shown in Equation 10.
Time = Time (WDIV = 0 ) × WDIV [7 : 0 ]

Energy Accumulation Mode
Different gain calibration parameters are offered in the
ADE7758 to cover the calibration of the meter in different
configurations. It should be noted that in CONSEL Mode 0d
the IGAIN and WGAIN registers have the same effect on the
end result. However, changing IGAIN also changes all other
calculations that use the current waveform. In other words,
changing IGAIN changes the active, reactive, and apparent
energy, as well as the RMS current calculation results.
Active Power Frequency Output
Pin 1 (APCF) of the ADE7758 provides frequency output
for the total active power. After initial calibration during
manufacturing, the manufacturer or end customer will often
verifies the energy meter calibration. One convenient way to
verify the meter calibration is for the manufacturer to provide
an output frequency that 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 68 illustrates the energyto-frequency conversion in the ADE7758.
The active power accumulated in each watt-hr accumulation
register (AWATTHR, BWATTHR, or CWATTHR) depends on
the configuration of the CONSEL bits in the COMPMODE
register (Bit 0 and Bit 1). The different configurations are
described in Table 6.

Note that the contents of the watt-hr accumulation registers are

Depending on the poly phase meter service, the appropriate
formula should be chosen to calculate the active energy. The
American ANSI C12.10 standard defines the different

A digital-to-frequency converter (DFC) is used to generate the
APCF pulse output from the total active power. TERMSEL bits
(Bit 2 to Bit 4) of the COMPMODE register can be used to select
which phases to include in the total power calculation. Setting
Bit 2, Bit 3, and Bit 4 includes the input to the AWATTHR,
BWATTHR, and CWATTHR registers in the total active power
calculation. The total active power is signed addition. However,
setting the ABS bit (Bit 5) in the COMPMODE register enables
the absolute only mode, that is, only the absolute value of the
active power is considered.
The output from the DFC is divided down by a pair of frequency
division registers before sending to the APCF pulse output.
Namely, APCFDEN/APCFNUM pulses are needed at the DFC
output before the APCF pin outputs a pulse. Under steady load
conditions, the output frequency is directly proportional to the
total active power. The pulse width of APCF is 64 × CLKIN if
APCFNUM and APCFDEN are both equal. If APCFDEN is
greater than APCFNUM, the pulse width depends on
APCFDEN. The pulse width in this case is T × (APCFDEN/2),
where T is the period of the APCF pulse and APCFDEN/2 is
rounded to the nearest whole number. An exception to this is
when the period is greater than 180 ms. In this case, the pulse
width is fixed at 90 ms.

APCFDEN = 0x00) with full-scale ac signals on one phase is
approximately 16 kHz.

The ADE7758 incorporates two registers to set the frequency
of APCF (APCFNUM[11:0] and APCFDEN[11:0]). These are
unsigned 12-bit registers that can be used to adjust the frequency
of APCF by 1/212 to 1 with a step of 1/212. For example, if the
output frequency is 1.562 kHz, while the contents of CFDIV are
0 (0x000), then the output frequency can be set to 6.103 Hz by
writing 0xFF to the CFDEN register.

From Equation 13, it can be seen that there is a small ripple in
the energy calculation due to the sin(2ωt) component. Figure 69
shows this. The ripple gets larger with larger loads. Choosing a
lower output frequency for APCF during calibration by using a
large APCFDEN value and keeping APCFNUM relatively small
can significantly reduce the ripple. Also, averaging the output
frequency over a longer period of time achieves the same results.
If 0 is written to any of the frequency division registers, the
divider would use 1 in the frequency division. In addition, the
ratio APCFNUM/ APCFDEN should be set not greater than
one to ensure proper operation. In other words, the APCF
output frequency cannot be higher than the frequency on the
DFC output.

The output frequency has 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 the Active Power Calculation section). Equation 5 gives an
expression for the instantaneous power signal. This is filtered by
LPF2, which has a magnitude response given by Equation 11.

Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation Mode
(11)
The ADE7758 is designed with a special energy accumulation
mode that simplifies the calibration process. By using the onchip zero-crossing detection, the ADE7758 updates the watt-hr
accumulation registers after an integer number of zero crossings
(Figure 70). The line active energy accumulation mode for watthr accumulation is activated by setting the LWATT bit (Bit 0) of
the LCYCMODE register. The total energy over an integer
number of half-line cycles is written to the watt-hr accumulation
registers after the LINECYC number of zero crossings have
been detected. When using the line cycle accumulation mode,
the RSTREAD bit (Bit 6) of the LCYCMODE register should be
set to Logic 0.

Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C zero crossings are, respectively,
included when counting the number of half-line cycles by
setting ZXSEL[0:2] bits (Bit 3 to Bit 5) in the LCYCMODE
register. Any combination of the zero crossings from all three
phases can be used for counting the zero crossing. Only one
phase should be selected at a time for inclusion in the zero
crossings count during calibration (see the Calibration section).
where V = rms voltage, I = rms current, θ = total phase shift
caused by the reactive elements in the load. Then the
instantaneous reactive power q(t) can be expressed as
The number of zero crossings is specified by the LINECYC
register. LINECYC is an unsigned 16-bit register. The ADE7758
can accumulate active power for up to 65535 combined zero
crossings. Note that the internal zero crossing counter is always
active. By setting the LWATT bit, the first energy accumulation
result is therefore incorrect. Writing to the LINECYC register
when the LWATT bit is set resets the zero-crossing counter, thus
ensuring that the first energy accumulation result is accurate.
where i′(t ) is the current waveform phase shifted by 90°. Note
that q(t) can be rewritten as
At the end of an energy calibration cycle, the LENERGY bit
(Bit 12) in the STATUS register is set. If the corresponding
mask bit in the interrupt mask register is enabled, the IRQ
output also goes active low; thus, the IRQ can also be used to
signal the end of a calibration.
Because active power is integrated on an integer number of half
line cycles in this mode, the sinusoidal component is reduced to
0. This eliminates any ripple in the energy calculation. Therefore,
total energy accumulated using the line-cycle accumulation
mode is

where t is the accumulation time.
Note that line cycle active energy accumulation uses the same
signal path as the active energy accumulation. The LSB size of
these two methods is equivalent. Using the line cycle accumulation to calculate the kWh/LSB constant results in a value that can
be applied to the WATTHR registers when the line accumulation
mode is not selected (see the Calibration section).

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 average reactive power information on each phase.
This process is illustrated in Figure 71. The reactive power of
each phase is accumulated in the corresponding 16-bit VARhour register (AVARHR, BVARHR, or CVARHR). The input to
each reactive energy register can be changed depending on the
accumulation mode setting (see Table 17).
The frequency response of the LPF in the reactive power signal
path is identical to that of the LPF2 used in the average active
power calculation (see Figure 65).

A load that contains a reactive element (inductor or capacitor)

elements is called reactive power and its unit is VAR. Reactive
power is defined as the product of the voltage and current

in nature, it is removed when the reactive power signal is
integrated over time to calculate the reactive energy.
The phase-shift filter has –90° phase shift when the integrator is
enabled and +90° phase shift when the integrator is disabled. In
addition, the filter has a nonunity magnitude response. Because
the phase-shift filter has a large attenuation at high frequency, the
reactive power is primarily for the calculation at line frequency.
The effect of harmonics is largely ignored in the reactive power
calculation. Note that because of the magnitude characteristic of
the phase shifting filter, the LSB weight of the reactive power
calculation is slightly different from that of the active power
calculation (see the Energy Registers Scaling section).

TERMSEL bits in the COMPMODE register (see Table 17). If
the REVPRP bit is set in the mask register, the IRQ logic output
goes active low (see the ADE7758 Interrupts section). Note that
this bit is set whenever there is a sign change, i.e., the bit is set
for both a positive-to-negative change or a negative-to-positive
change of the sign bit.

Reactive Power Gain Calibration

The average reactive power from the LPF output in each phase
can be scaled by ±50% by writing to the phase’s VAR gain
register (AVARG, BVARG, or CVARG). The VAR gain registers
are twos complement, signed registers, and have a resolution of
0.024%/LSB. The function of the VAR gain registers is
expressed below.
Φ is defined as the phase angle of the voltage signal minus the current
signal, i.e., Φ is positive if the load is inductive and negative if the load is
capacitive.

Reactive energy is defined as the integral of reactive power.

The output is scaled by –50% when the VAR gain registers
contents are set to 0x800 and the output is increased by +50%
by writing 0x7FF to the VAR gain register. This register can be
used to calibrate the reactive power (or energy) calculation in
the ADE7758 for each phase.
Similar to active power, the ADE7758 achieves the integration
of the reactive power signal by continuously accumulating the
reactive power signal in the internal 41-bit accumulation
registers. The VAR-hr registers (AVARHR, BVARHR, and
CVARHR) represent the upper 16 bits of these internal
registers. This discrete time accumulation or summation is
equivalent to integration in continuous time. Equation 20
expresses the relationship

Reactive Power Offset Calibration
The ADE7758 incorporates a VAR offset register on each phase
(AVAROS, BVAROS, and CVAROS). These are signed twos
complement, 12-bit registers that are used to remove offsets in
the reactive power calculations. An offset may exist in the
power calculation due to crosstalk between channels on the
PCB or in the chip itself. The offset calibration allows the
contents of the reactive power register to be maintained at 0
when no reactive power is being consumed. The offset registers’
resolution is the same as the active power offset registers (see
the Apparent Power Offset Calibration section).
Sign of Reactive Power Calculation
Note that the average reactive power is a signed calculation. As
stated previously, the phase shift filter has –90° phase shift when
the integrator is enabled and +90° phase shift when the
integrator is disabled. Table 8 summarizes the relationship
between the phase difference between the voltage and the
current and the sign of the resulting VAR calculation.
The ADE7758 has a sign detection circuit for the reactive power
calculation. The REVPRP bit (Bit 18) in the interrupt status
register is set if the average reactive power from any one of the

Figure 72 shows the signal path of the reactive energy accumulation. The average reactive power signal is continuously added to
the internal reactive energy register. This addition is a signed
operation. Negative energy is subtracted from the reactive energy
register. The average reactive power is divided by the content of
the VAR divider register before they are added to the corresponding VAR-hr accumulation registers. When the value in
the VARDIV[7:0] register is 0 or 1, the reactive power is
accumulated without any division. VARDIV is an 8-bit
unsigned register that is useful to lengthen the time it takes
before the VAR-hr accumulation registers overflow.
Similar to reactive power, the fastest integration time occurs
when the VAR gain registers are set to maximum full scale, i.e.,
0x7FF. The time it takes before overflow can be scaled by writing
to the VARDIV register and therefore it can be increased by a
maximum factor of 255.

When overflow occurs, the VAR-hr accumulation registers
content can rollover to full-scale negative (0x8000) and continue
increasing in value when the reactive power is positive. Conversely, if the reactive power is negative the VAR-hr accumulation
registers content can roll over to full-scale positive (0x7FFF)
and continue decreasing in value.
Energy Accumulation Mode
By setting the REHF bit (Bit 1) of the mask register, the
ADE7758 can be configured to issue an interrupt (IRQ) when
Bit 14 of any one of the three VAR-hr accumulation registers
has changed, indicating that the accumulation register is half
full (positive or negative).
Table 9. Inputs to VAR-Hr Accumulation Registers
Setting the RSTREAD bit (Bit 6) of the LCYMODE register
enables a read-with-reset for the VAR-hr accumulation
registers, i.e., the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.
Integration Time Under Steady Load
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation
register is 0.4 µs (4/CLKIN). With full-scale sinusoidal signals
on the analog inputs, and a 90° phase difference between the
voltage and the current signal (the largest possible reactive
power), and the VAR gain registers set to 0x000, the average
word value from each LPF2 is 0xCCCCD. The maximum value
that can be stored in the reactive energy register before it
overflows is 215 − 1 or 0x7FFF. As the average word value is first
added to the internal register, which can store 240 − 1 or 0xFF,
FFFF, FFFF before it overflows, the integration time under these
conditions with VARDIV = 0 is calculated as
Time =
0xFF, FFFF, FFFF
× 0.4 μs = 0.5243 second
0xCCCCD
When VARDIV is set to a value different from 0, the time
before overflow are scaled accordingly as shown in Equation 21.
Time = Time (VARDIV = 0 ) × VARDIV
(21)
The reactive power accumulated in each VAR-hr accumulation
register (AVARHR, BVARHR, or CVARHR) depends on the
configuration of the CONSEL bits in the COMPMODE register
(Bit 0 and Bit 1). The different configurations are described in
Table 9.

The contents of the VAR-hr accumulation registers are affected

register of the corresponding phase.
Reactive Power Frequency Output
Pin 17 (VARCF) of the ADE7758 provides frequency output for
the total reactive power. Similar to APCF, this pin provides an
output frequency that is directly proportional to the total reactive
power. The pulse width of VARPCF is 64 × CLKIN if VARCFNUM
and VARCFDEN are both equal. If VARCFDEN is greater than
VARCFNUM, the pulse width depends on VARCFDEN. The
pulse width in this case is T × (VARCFDEN/2), where T is the
period of the VARCF pulse and VARCFDEN/2 is rounded to
the nearest whole number. An exception to this is when the
period is greater than 180 ms. In this case, the pulse width is
fixed at 90 ms.
A digital-to-frequency converter (DFC) is used to generate the
VARCF pulse output from the total reactive power. The TERMSEL
bits (Bit 2 to Bit 4) of the COMPMODE register can be used to
select which phases to be included in the total reactive power
calculation. Setting Bit 2, Bit 3, and Bit 4 includes the input to
the AVARHR, BVARHR, and CVARHR registers in the total
active power calculation. The total reactive power is signed
addition. However, setting the SAVAR bit (Bit 6) in the
COMPMODE register enables absolute value calculation.
Rev. A | Page 37 of 68
ADE7758
If the active power of that phase is positive, no change is made
to the sign of the reactive power. However, if the sign of the
active power is negative in that phase, the sign of its reactive
power is inversed before summing and creating VARCF pulses.
This mode should be used in conjunction with the absolute
value mode for active power (Bit 5 in the COMPMODE
register) for APCF pulses. Table 10 shows the effect of setting
the ABS and SAVAR bits of the COMPMODE register.
The effects of setting the ABS and SAVAR bits of the
COMPMODE register results as follows when ABS = 1
and SAVAR = 1:
If watt > 0
The line cycle reactive energy accumulation mode is activated
by setting the LVAR bit (Bit 1) in the LCYCMODE register. The
total reactive energy accumulated over an integer number of
zero crossings is written to the VAR-hr accumulation registers
after the LINECYC number of zero crossings has been detected.
The operation of this mode is similar to watt-hr accumulation
(see the Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation Mode section).
When using the line cycle accumulation mode, the RSTREAD
bit (Bit 6) of the LCYCMODE register should be set to Logic 0.

Figure 73. ADE7758 Reactive Power Frequency Output
The output from the DFC is divided down by a pair of frequency
division registers before sending to the APCF pulse output.
Namely, VARCFDEN/VARCFNUM pulses are needed at the
DFC output before the VARCF pin outputs a pulse. Under
steady load conditions, the output frequency is directly
proportional to the total reactive power.
Figure 68 illustrates the energy-to-frequency conversion in the
ADE7758. Note that the input to the DFC can be selected
between the total reactive power and total apparent power.
Therefore, the VARCF pin can output frequency that is
proportional to the total reactive power or total apparent power.
The selection is made by setting the VACF bit (Bit 7) in the
WAVMODE register. Setting this bit to logic high switches the
input to the total apparent power. The default value of this bit is
logic low. Therefore, the default output from the VARCF pin is
the total reactive power.
All other operations of this frequency output are similar to that
of the active power frequency output (see the Active Power
Frequency Output section).
ACTIVE POWER
Figure 74. Power Triangle
There are two ways to calculate apparent power, namely the
arithmetical approach or the vectorial method. The arithmetical
method uses the product of the voltage rms value and current
rms value to calculate apparent power. Equation 22 describes
the arithmetical approach mathematically.
S = VRMS × IRMS
(22)
where S is the apparent power, and VRMS and IRMS are the
rms voltage and current, respectively.
The vectorial method uses the square root of the sum of the
active and reactive power, after the two are individually
squared. Equation 23 shows the calculation used in the vectorial
approach.
S = P2 + Q2
(23)
where S is the apparent power, P is the active power, and Q is
the reactive power.
Rev. A | Page 38 of 68
ADE7758
For a pure sinusoidal system, the two approaches should yield
the same result. The apparent energy calculation in the ADE7758
uses the arithmetical approach. However, the line cycle energy
accumulation mode in the ADE7758 enables energy accumulation between active and reactive energies over a synchronous
period of time, thus the vectorial method can be easily
implemented in the external MCU (see the Line Cycle Active
Energy Accumulation Mode section).
Note that apparent power is always positive regardless of the
direction of the active or reactive energy flows. The rms value of
the current and voltage in each phase is multiplied to produce
the apparent power of the corresponding phase. The output
from the multiplier is then low-pass filtered to obtain the
average apparent power. The frequency response of the LPF in
the apparent power signal path is identical to that of the LPF2
used in the average active power calculation (see Figure 65).
Apparent Power Gain Calibration
Note that the average active power result from the LPF output
in each phase can be scaled by ±50% by writing to the phase’s
VAGAIN register (AVAG, BVAG, or CVAG). The VAGAIN
registers are twos complement, signed registers and have a
resolution of 0.024%/LSB. The function of the VAGAIN
registers is expressed below mathematically.

The output is scaled by –50% when the VAR gain registers

by writing 0x7FF to the watt gain register. This register can be
used to calibrate the apparent power (or energy) calculation in
the ADE7758 for each phase.
Apparent Power Offset Calibration
Each rms measurement includes an offset compensation
register to calibrate and eliminate the dc component in the rms
value (see the Current RMS Calculation and Voltage Channel
RMS Calculation sections). The voltage and current rms values
are then multiplied together in the apparent power signal
processing. As no additional offsets are created in the
multiplication of the rms values, there is no specific offset
compensation in the apparent power signal processing. The
offset compensation of the apparent power measurement in
each phase should be done by calibrating each individual rms
measurement (see the Calibration section).
accumulating the apparent power signal in the internal 40-bit,
unsigned accumulation registers. The VA-hr registers (AVAHR,
BVAHR, and CVAHR) represent the upper 16 bits of these
internal registers. This discrete time accumulation or summation
is equivalent to integration in continuous time. Equation 25
below expresses the relationship
⎧ ∞

Apparent Energy = ∫ S(t ) dt = Lim ⎨ ∑ S (nT ) × T ⎬ (25)

where n is the discrete time sample number and T is the sample

Figure 75 shows the signal path of the apparent energy accumulation. The apparent power signal is continuously added to the
internal apparent energy register. The average apparent power is
divided by the content of the VA divider register before they are
added to the corresponding VA-hr accumulation registers. When
the value in the VADIV[7:0] register is 0 or 1, apparent power is
accumulated without any division. VADIV is an 8-bit unsigned
register that is useful to lengthen the time it takes before the
VA-hr accumulation registers overflow.
Similar to active or reactive power accumulation, the fastest
integration time occurs when the VAGAIN registers are set to
maximum full scale, i.e., 0x7FF. When overflow occurs, the
VA-hr accumulation registers contents can roll over to 0 and
continue increasing in value. By setting the VAEHF bit (Bit 2) of
the mask register, the ADE7758 can be configured to issue an
interrupt (IRQ) when the MSB of any one of the three VA-hr
accumulation registers has changed, indicating that the
accumulation register is half full.
Setting the RSTREAD bit (Bit 6) of the LCYMODE register
enables a read-with-reset for the VA-hr accumulation registers,
i.e., the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.
Integration Time Under Steady Load
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation
register is 0.4 µs (4/CLKIN). With full-scale, 60 Hz sinusoidal
signals on the analog inputs and the VAGAIN registers set to
0x000, the average word value from each LPF2 is 0xB9954. The
maximum value that can be stored in the apparent energy
register before it overflows is 216 − 1 or 0xFFFF. As the average
word value is first added to the internal register, which can store
241 − 1 or 0x1FF, FFFF, FFFF before it overflows, the integration
time under these conditions with VADIV = 0 is calculated as

Energy Accumulation Mode
The apparent power accumulated in each VA-hr accumulation
register (AVAHR, BVAHR, or CVAHR) depends on the configuration of the CONSEL bits in the COMPMODE register
(Bit 0 and Bit 1). The different configurations are described in
Table 10.
The contents of the VA-hr accumulation registers are affected
by both the gain registers for the current (IGAIN) and rms
voltage gain (VRMSGAIN), as well as the VAGAIN register of
the corresponding phase. IGAIN should not be used when
using CONSEL Mode 0, COMPMODE[0:1].
Apparent Power Frequency Output
Pin 17 (VARCF) of the ADE7758 can provide frequency output
for the total apparent power. By setting the VACF bit (Bit 7) of
the WAVMODE register, this pin provides an output frequency
that is directly proportional to the total apparent power.
A digital-to-frequency converter (DFC) is used to generate the
pulse output from the total apparent power. The TERMSEL bits
(Bit 2 to Bit 4) of the COMPMODE register can be used to
select which phases to include in the total power calculation.
Setting Bit 2, Bit 3, and Bit 4 includes the input to the AVAHR,
BVAHR, and CVAHR registers in the total active power
calculation. A pair of frequency divider registers, namely
VARCFDEN and VARCFNUM, can be used to scale the output
frequency of this pin. Note that either VAR or apparent power
can be selected at one time for this frequency output (see the
Reactive Power Frequency Output section).
Line Cycle Apparent Energy Accumulation Mode
The line cycle apparent energy accumulation mode is activated
by setting the LVA bit (Bit 2) in the LCYCMODE register. The
total apparent energy accumulated over an integer number of
zero crossings is written to the VA-hr accumulation registers
after the LINECYC number of zero crossings has been detected.
The operation of this mode is similar to watt-hr accumulation
(see the Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation Mode section).
When using the line cycle accumulation mode, the RSTREAD
bit (Bit 6) of the LCYCMODE register should be set to Logic 0.
Note that this mode is especially useful when the user chooses
to perform the apparent energy calculation using the vectorial
method. By setting LWATT and LVAR bits (Bit 0 and Bit 1) of
the LCYCMODE register, the active and reactive energies are
accumulated over the same period of time. Therefore, the MCU
can perform the squaring of the two terms and then take the
square root of their sum to determine the apparent energy over
the same period of time.

ADE7758
ENERGY REGISTERS SCALING
CALIBRATION
The ADE7758 provides measurements of active, reactive, and
apparent energies that use separate signal paths and filtering for
calculation. The differences in the data paths can result in small
differences in LSB weight between the active, reactive, and
apparent energy registers. These measurements are internally
compensated so that the scaling is nearly one to one. The
relationship between the registers is shown in Table 11.
A reference meter or an accurate source is required to calibrate
the ADE7758 energy meter. When using a reference meter, the
ADE7758 calibration output frequencies, APCF and VARCF,
are adjusted to match the frequency output of the reference
meter under the same load conditions. Each phase must be
calibrated separately in this case. When using an accurate source
for calibration, one can take advantage of the line cycle accumulation mode and calibrate the three phases simultaneously.
Table 11. Energy Registers Scaling

VAR = 1.004 × WATT

Integrator On
VAR = 1.0059 × WATT
VA = 1.00058 × WATT
VAR = 1.0064 × WATT

There are two objectives in calibrating the meter: to establish
the correct impulses/kW-hr constant on the pulse output and to
obtain a constant that relates the LSBs in the energy and rms
registers to Watt/VA/VAR hours, amps, or volts. Additionally,
calibration compensates for part-to-part variation in the meter
design as well as phase shifts and offsets due to the current
sensor and/or input networks.
Calibration Using Pulse Output
WAVEFORM SAMPLING MODE
The waveform samples of the current and voltage waveform, as
well as the active, reactive, and apparent power multiplier outputs, can all be routed to the WAVEFORM register by setting
the WAVSEL[2:0] bits (Bit 2 to Bit 4) in the WAVMODE
register. The phase in which the samples are routed is set by
setting the PHSEL[1:0] bits (Bit 0 and Bit 1) in the WAVMODE
register. All energy calculation remains uninterrupted during
waveform sampling. Four output sample rates may be chosen by
using Bit 5 and Bit 6 of the WAVMODE register (DTRT[1:0]).
The output sample rate may be 26.0 kSPS, 13.0 kSPS, 6.5 kSPS,
or 3.3 kSPS (see Table 16).
By setting the WSMP bit in the interrupt mask register to
Logic 1, the interrupt request output IRQ goes active low
when a sample is available. The 24-bit waveform samples are
transferred from the ADE7758 one byte (8 bits) at a time, with
the most significant byte shifted out first.
The ADE7758 provides a pulsed output proportional to the
active power accumulated by all three phases, called APCF.
Additionally, the VARCF output is proportional to either the
reactive energy or apparent energy accumulated by all three
phases. The following section describes how to calibrate the
gain, offset, and phase angle using the pulsed output
information. The equations are based on the pulse output from
the ADE7758 (APCF or VARCF) and the pulse output of the
reference meter or CFEXPECTED.
Figure 76 shows a flow chart of how to calibrate the ADE7758
using the pulse output. Since the pulse outputs are proportional
to the total energy in all three phases, each phase must be calibrated individually. Writing to the registers is fast in order to
reconfigure the part for calibrating a different phase, therefore
Figure 76 shows a method that calibrates all phases at a given
test condition before changing the test condition.
The interrupt request output IRQ stays low until the interrupt
routine reads the reset status register (see the ADE7758 Interrupts
section).

Gain Calibration Using Pulse Output
Gain calibration is used for meter-to-meter gain adjustment,
APCF or VARCF output rate calibration, and determining the
Wh/LSB, VARh/LSB, and VAh/LSB constant. The registers used
for watt gain calibration are CFNUM (0x45), CFDEN (0x46),
and xWG (0x2A to 0x2C). Equations 32 through 34 show how
these registers affect the Wh/LSB constant and the APCF
pulses. For calibrating VAR gain, the registers in Equations 32
through 34 should be replaced by VARCFNUM (0x47),
VARCFDEN (0x48), and xVARG (0x2D to 0x2F). For VAGAIN,
they should be replaced by VARCFNUM (0x47), VARCFDEN
(0x48), and xVAG (0x30 to 0x32).

Step 1: Enable the pulse output by setting Bit 2 of the OPMODE
register (0x13) to Logic 0. This bit enables both the APCF and
VARCF pulses.
Step 1a: VAR and VA share the VARCF pulse output.
WAVMODE[7], Address (0x15), should be set to choose
between VAR or VA pulses on the output. Setting the bit to Logic
1 selects VA. The default is Logic 0 or VARCF pulse output.
Step 2: Ensure the xWG/xVARG/xVAG are set to Logic 0.
Step 3: Disable the Phase B and Phase C contribution to the
APCF and VARCF pulses. This is done by the TERMSEL[2:4]
bits of the COMPMODE register (0x16). Setting Bit 2 to Logic 1
and Bit 3 and Bit 4 to Logic 0 allows only Phase A to be included
in the pulse outputs.
Step 4: Set APCFNUM(0x45) and APCFDEN(0x46) to the
calculated value to perform a coarse adjustment on the
imp/kWh ratio. For VAR/VA calibration, VARCFNUM (0x47)
and VARCFDEN(0x48) should be set to the calculated value.
The pulse output frequency with one phase at full-scale inputs

is approximately 16 kHz. A sample set of meters could be tested
to find a more exact value of the pulse output at full scale.

IFULLSCALE = 130 A, MC = 3200 impulses/kWh, Power Factor = 1,
and Frequency = 50 Hz.
Set APCFNUM(0x45) and APCFDEN(0x46) to the calculated
value to perform a coarse adjustment on the imp/kWh ratio.
Using Equations 27 through 29.
Step 5: Set the test system for ITEST, VNOM, and the unity power
factor. For VAR calibration, the power factor should be set to 0
in this step. For watt and VA, the unity power factor should be
used. VAGAIN can be calibrated at the same time as WGAIN
because VAGAIN can be calibrated at the unity power factor,
and both pulse outputs can be measured simultaneously.
However, when calibrating VAGAIN at the same time as
WGAIN, the rms offsets should be calibrated first (see the
Calibration of IRMS and VRMS Offset section).
Step 6: Measure the percent error in the pulse output, APCF
and/or VARCF, from the reference meter:
APCF – CFREF

Step 8: Return to Step 2 to calibrate Phase B and Phase C gain.
Because the CFNUM and CFDEN values can be calculated

automatically during production calibration.

Step 7: Calculate xWG adjustment. One LSB change in xWG

Phase Calibration Using Pulse Output
The ADE7758 includes a phase calibration register on each
phase to compensate for small phase errors. Large phase errors
should be compensated by adjusting the antialiasing filters. The
ADE7758’s phase calibration is a time delay with different
weights in the positive and negative direction (see the Phase
Compensation section). Because a current transformer is a
source of phase error, a fixed nominal value may be decided on
to load into the xPHCAL registers at power-up. During
calibration, this value can be adjusted for CT-to-CT error.
Figure 78 shows the steps involved in calibrating the phase
using the pulse output.

Power offset calibration should be used for outstanding

of the power offset is done at or close to the minimum current
where the desired accuracy is required. The ADE7758 has
power offset registers for watts and VAR (xWATTOS and
xVAROS). Offsets in the VA measurement are compensated by

Figure 80. Calibration Using Line Accumulation

Calibration Using Line Accumulation
Line cycle accumulation mode configures the nine energy
registers such that the amount of energy accumulated over an
integer number of half line cycles appears in the registers after
the LINECYC interrupt. The benefit of using this mode is that
the sinusoidal component of the active energy is eliminated.
Figure 80 shows a flow chart of how to calibrate the ADE7758
using the line accumulation mode. Calibration of all phases and
energies can be done simultaneously using this mode to save
time during calibration.
Gain calibration is used for meter-to-meter gain adjustment,
APCF or VARCF output rate calibration, and determining the
Wh/LSB, VARh/LSB, and VAh/LSB constant.
Step 0: Before performing the gain calibration, the
CFNUM/CFDEN (0x45/0x46) and VARCFNUM/VARCFDEN
(0x47/0x48) values can be set to achieve the correct
impulses/kWh, impulses/kVAh, or impulses/kVARh using the
same method outlined in Step 4 in the Gain Calibration Using

(0x2A through 0x32) is done with the line accumulation mode.

(0x17), to Logic 1. It also sets the ZXSEL bits, LCYCMODE[3:5],
to Logic 1 to enable the zero-crossing detection on all phases for
line accumulation. Additionally, the FREQSEL bit,
LCYCMODE[7], is set to Logic 0 so that FREQ (0x10) stores
the line frequency. When using the line accumulation mode, the
RSTREAD bit of LCYCMODE should be set to 0 to disable the
read with reset mode.
Step 3: Set the number of half-line cycles for line accumulation
by writing to LINECYC (0x1C).
Step 4: Set the LENERGY bit, MASK[12] (0x18), to Logic 1 to
enable the interrupt that signals the end of the line cycle
accumulation.
Step 5: Set the test system for ITEST, VNOM, and unity power factor
(calibrate watt and VA simultaneously and first).
Step 6: Read the FREQ (0x10) register if the frequency is
unknown.
Step 7: Reset the interrupt status register by reading RSTATUS
(0x1A).

Phase Calibration Using Line Accumulation
The ADE7758 includes a phase calibration register on each
phase to compensate for small phase errors. Large phase errors
should be compensated by adjusting the antialiasing filters. The
ADE7758’s phase calibration is a time delay with different
weights in the positive and negative direction (see the Phase
Compensation section). Since a current transformer is a source
of phase error, a fixed nominal value may be decided on to load
into the xPHCAL (0x3F to 0x41) registers at power-up. During
calibration, this value can be adjusted for CT-to-CT error.

Step 1: If the values were changed after gain calibration, Step 1,
Step 3, and Step 4 from the gain calibration should be repeated
to configure the LCYCMODE and LINECYC registers.
With ITEST, VNOM, and 0.5 inductive power factor, the example
ADE7758 meter shows 12036d in the AWATTHR (0x01)
register. For unity power factor (after gain calibration), the
meter shows 24020d in the AWATTHR register. This is
equivalent to 26 LSBs of error.
Step 2: Set the test system for ITEST, VNOM, and 0.5 power factor.
The Phase Error in degrees using Equation 50 is −0.07°.
Step 3: Reset the interrupt status register by reading RSTATUS
(0x1A).
Step 4: The xWATTHR registers should be read after the
LINECYC interrupt. Measure the percent error in the energy
register readings (AWATTHR, BWATTHR, and CWATTHR)
compared to the energy register readings at unity power factor
(after gain calibration) using Equation 49. The readings at unity
power factor should have been repeated after the gain
calibration and stored for use in the phase calibration routine.

Power offset calibration should be used for outstanding
performance over a wide dynamic range (1,000:1). Calibration
of the power offset is done at or close to the minimum current.
The ADE7758 has power offset registers for watts and VAR,
xWATTOS (0x39 to 0x3B) and xVAROS (0x3C to 0x3E).
Offsets in the VA measurement are compensated by adjusting
the rms offset registers (see the Calibration of IRMS and VRMS

offsets using the line accumulation mode.

Example—Power Offset Calibration Using Line
Accumulation
This example only shows Phase A of the phase active power
offset calibration. Both active and reactive power offset for all
phases can be calibrated simultaneously using the method
explained in the Power Offset Calibration Using Line
Accumulation section.
For this example, ITEST = 10 A, IMIN = 100 mA, VNOM = 220 V,
Power Factor = unity, Frequency = 50 Hz, and LINECYC =
0xFFF.
At ITEST, the example ADE7758 meter shows 192489d in the
AWATTHR (0x01) register after gain calibration at 0xFFF line
cycles. At IMIN, the meter shows 1919d in the AWATTHR
register. By using Equation 52, this is equivalent to the 6 LSBs of
offset, therefore, using Equation 53, the value written to
AWATTOS is 94d.
Offset =
IRMSOS and VRMSOS are used to cancel noise and offset
contributions from the inputs. The calibration method is the
same whether calibrating using the pulse outputs or line
accumulation. Reading the registers is required for this
calibration since there is no rms pulse output. The rms offset
calibration should be performed before VAGAIN calibration.
The rms offset calibration also removes offset from the VA
calculation. For this reason, no VA offset register exists in the
ADE7758.
The low-pass filter used to obtain the rms measurements is not
ideal, therefore it is recommended to synchronize the readings
with the zero crossings of the voltage waveform and to average a
few measurements when reading the rms registers.
The ADE7758 IRMS measurement is linear over a 500:1 range,
and the VRMS measurement is linear over a 20:1 range. To
measure the voltage VRMS offset (xVRMSOS), measure rms
values at two different nonzero current levels, for example,
VNOM and VNOM/20. To measure the current rms offset
(IRMSOS), measure rms values at two different nonzero current
levels, for example, ITEST and IMAX/500). This translates to three
test conditions: ITEST and VNOM, IMAX/500 and VNOM, ITEST and
VNOM/20. Figure 84 shows a flow chart for calibrating the rms
measurements.

ADE7758 INTERRUPTS
For this example, ITEST = 10 A, IMAX = 100 A, VNOM = 220 V,
VFULLSCALE = 500 V, Power Factor = 1, and Frequency = 50 Hz.
The ADE7758 interrupts are managed through the interrupt
status register (STATUS[23:0], Address 0x19) and the interrupt
mask register (MASK[23:0], Address 0x18). When an interrupt
event occurs in the ADE7758, the corresponding flag in the
interrupt status register is set to a Logic 1 (see Table 20). If the
mask bit for this interrupt in the interrupt mask register is
Logic 1, 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. 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 RSTATUS, Address 0x1A. The IRQ output goes
logic high on completion of the interrupt status register read
command (see the Interrupt Timing section). When carrying
out a read with reset, the ADE7758 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 is not lost
and the IRQ logic output is guaranteed to go logic high for the
duration of the interrupt status register data transfer before
going logic low again to indicate the pending interrupt. Note
that the reset interrupt bit in the status register is high for only
one clock cycle; then it goes back to 0.
With ITEST and VNOM, the example ADE7758 meter shows
0x34266 in the AIRMS (0x0A) register and 0x10B0A3 in the
AVRMS (0x0D) register. At IMAX/500, the example meter shows
0x19F in AIRMS. At VNOM/20, the example meter shows 0xD65B
in the AVRMS register. These are the average value of 20
samples synchronous to the zero crossings of all three phases.
Using this data, −3d is written to AVRMSOS (0x33) and −1004d
is written to AIRMSOS (0x36) registers according to the
Equation 56 and Equation 57.

This example shows the calculations and measurements for
Phase A only. However, all three xIRMS and xVRMS registers
can be read simultaneously to compute the values for each
xIRMSOS and xVRMSOS register.
CHECKSUM REGISTER
The ADE7758 has a checksum register CHECKSUM[7:0]
(0x7E) to ensure the data bits received in the last serial read
operation are not corrupted. The 8-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 is
added to the checksum register. In the end of the serial read
operation, the content of the checksum register is equal to the
sum of all the 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 also generates a checksum of the checksum
register itself.

USING THE ADE7758 INTERRUPTS WITH AN MCU
Figure 87 shows a timing diagram that illustrates a suggested
implementation of ADE7758 interrupt management using an
MCU. At time t1, the IRQ line goes active low indicating that
one or more interrupt events have occurred in the ADE7758.
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 using the global interrupt mask
bit. At this point, the MCU external interrupt flag can be
cleared in order to capture interrupt events that 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 causes the IRQ line to be reset logic high (t2)—see the
Interrupt Timing section.) 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 is recorded
by the MCU external interrupt flag being set again. On
returning from the ISR, the global interrupt mask bit is cleared
(same instruction cycle) and the external interrupt flag uses the
MCU to jump to its ISR once again. This ensures that the MCU
does not miss any external interrupts. The reset bit in the status
register is an exception to this, and is only high for one clock
cycle after a reset event.
Rev. A | Page 54 of 68
ADE7758
INTERRUPT TIMING
the ADE7758 is the only device on the serial bus. However, with
CS tied low, all initiated data transfer operations must be fully
completed. The LSB of each register must be transferred
because there is no other way of bringing the ADE7758 back
into communications mode without resetting the entire device,
i.e., performing a software reset using Bit 6 of the OPMODE[7:0]
register, Address 0x13. The functionality of the ADE7758 is
accessible via several on-chip registers (see Figure 86). The
contents of these registers can be updated or read using the onchip serial interface. After a falling edge on CS, the ADE7758 is
placed in communications mode. In communications mode, the
ADE7758 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 ADE7758, whether a read
or a write, must begin with a write to the communications
register.
ADE7758 SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADE7758 has a built-in SPI interface. The serial interface
of the ADE7758 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 Schmitt trigger input
structure that 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 ADE7758 at the DIN logic input
on the falling edge of SCLK. Data is shifted out of the ADE7758
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 ADE7758 in communications mode. The CS input should be driven low for the
entire data transfer operation. Bringing CS high during a data
transfer operation aborts the transfer and place the serial bus in
a high impedance state. The CS logic input may be tied low if

The ADE7758 Serial Interface section should be reviewed first
before reviewing this interrupt timing section. 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 87. If an interrupt is pending at
this time, the IRQ output goes low again. If no interrupt is
pending, the IRQ output remains high.

The communications register is an 8-bit write-only register. The
MSB determines whether the next data transfer operation is a
read or a write. The seven LSBs contain the address of the register
to be accessed. See Table 12 for a more detailed description.
MSB of this byte transfer must be set to 1, indicating that the
next data transfer operation is a write to the register. The seven
LSBs of this byte contain the address of the register to be written
to. The ADE7758 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 the subsequent SCLK pulses
(see Figure 91).
Figure 89 and Figure 90 show the data transfer sequences for a
read and write operation, respectively.
On completion of a data transfer (read or write), the ADE7758
once again enters into communications mode, i.e., the next
instruction followed must be a write to the communications
register.
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 ADE7758, 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 ADE7758
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 900 ns after the end of the previous byte transfer.
This functionality is expressed in the timing specification t6 (see
Figure 91). If a write operation is aborted during a byte transfer
(CS brought high), then that byte is not written to the
destination register.

Destination registers may be up to 3 bytes wide (see the
Accessing the ADE7758 On-Chip Registers section). Therefore,
the first byte shifted into the serial port at DIN is transferred to
the most significant byte (MSB) 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 four LSBs of the first byte written
to the ADE7758 would be the four MSBs of the 12-bit word.
Figure 92 illustrates this example.
Figure 90. Writing Data to the ADE7758 via the Serial Interface
A data transfer is completed when the LSB of the ADE7758
register being addressed (for a write or a read) is transferred to
or from the ADE7758.
ADE7758 SERIAL WRITE OPERATION
The serial write sequence takes place as follows. With the
ADE7758 in communications mode and the CS input logic low,
a write to the communications register takes place first. 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.
ADE7758 SERIAL READ OPERATION
During a data read operation from the ADE7758, 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.
When an ADE7758 register is addressed for a read operation,
the entire contents of that register are transferred to the serial
port. This allows the ADE7758 to modify its on-chip registers
without the risk of corrupting data during a multibyte transfer.
With the ADE7758 in communications mode and CS logic low,
an 8-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 seven LSBs of this
byte contain the address of the register that is to be read. The
ADE7758 starts shifting out of the register data on the next
rising edge of SCLK (see Figure 93). At this point, the DOUT
logic output switches from a 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 again as soon as the
Note that when a read operation follows a write operation, the
read command (i.e., write to communications register) should
not happen for at least 1.1 µs after the end of the write operation.
If the read command is sent within 1.1 µs of the write operation,
the last byte of the write operation may be lost.

ADE7758
ACCESSING THE ADE7758 ON-CHIP REGISTERS
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER
All ADE7758 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 the ADE7758
Serial Interface section.
The communications register is an 8-bit, write-only register that
controls the serial data transfer between the ADE7758 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 12
outlines the bit designations for the communications register.

Description
The seven LSBs of the communications register specify the register for the data transfer operation.
Table 13 lists the address of each ADE7758 on-chip register.
When this bit is a Logic 1, the data transfer operation immediately following the write to the
communications register is interpreted as a write to the ADE7758. When this bit is a Logic 0, the data
transfer operation immediately following the write to the communications register is interpreted as a
read operation.

These bits select the phases used for the voltage and current peak registers. Setting Bit 2 switches the
IPEAK and VPEAK registers to hold the absolute values of the largest current and voltage waveform
(over a fixed number of half-line cycles) from Phase A. The number of half-line cycles is determined by
the content of the LINECYC register. At the end of the LINECYC number of half-line cycles, the content
of the registers is replaced with the new peak values. Similarly, setting Bit 3 turns on the peak
detection for Phase B and Bit 4 is for Phase C. Note that if more than one bit is set, the VPEAK and
IPEAK registers can hold values from two different phases, i.e., the voltage and current peak are
independently processed (see the Peak Current Detection section).
These bits select the phases used for the peak interrupt detection. Setting Bit 5 switches on the
monitoring of the absolute current and voltage waveform to Phase A. Similarly, setting Bit 6 turns on
the waveform detection for Phase B and Bit 7 is for Phase C. Note that more than one bit can be set for
detection on multiple phases. If the absolute values of the voltage or current waveform samples in
the selected phases exceeds the preset level specified in the PKVLVL or PKILVL registers, the
corresponding bit(s) in the STATUS registers are set (see the Peak Current Detection section).

CONSEL[1, 1] is reserved.
Note: IA, IB, and IC are IA, IB, and IC phase shifted by –90°, respectively.
These bits are used to select the phases to be included in the APCF and VARCF pulse outputs.
Setting Bit 2 enables Phase A (the inputs to AWATTHR and AVARHR registers) to be included. Bit 3
and Bit 4 are for Phase B and Phase C, respectively. Setting all three bits enables the sum of all three
phases to be included in the frequency outputs (see the Active Power Frequency Output and the
Reactive Power Frequency Output sections).
Setting this bit places the APCF output pin in absolute only mode. Namely, the APCF output
frequency is proportional to the sum of the absolute values of the watt-hour accumulation registers
(AWATTHR, BWATTHR, and CWATTHR). Note that this bit only affects the APCF pin and has no effect
on the content of the corresponding registers.
Setting this bit places the VARCF output pin in the signed adjusted mode. Namely, the VARCF
output frequency are proportional to the sign-adjusted sum of the VAR-hour accumulation registers
(AVARHR, BVARHR, and CVARHR). The sign of the VAR is determined from the sign of the watt
calculation from the corresponding phase, i.e., the sign of the VAR is flipped if the sign of the watt is
negative, and if the watt is positive, there is no change to the sign of the VAR. Note that this bit only
affects the VARCF pin and has no effect on the content of the corresponding registers.
Setting this bit activates the no-load threshold in the ADE7758.

Description
Setting this bit places the watt-hour accumulation registers (AWATTHR, BWATTHR, and CWATTHR
registers) into line-cycle accumulation mode.
Setting this bit places the VAR-hour accumulation registers (AVARHR, BVARHR, and CVARHR
registers) into line-cycle accumulation mode.
Setting this bit places the VA-hour accumulation registers (AVAHR, BVAHR, and CVAHR registers)
into line-cycle accumulation mode.
These bits select the phases used for counting the number of zero crossings in the line-cycle
accumulation mode. Bit 3, Bit 4, and Bit 5 select Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C, respectively. More
than one phase can be selected for the zero-crossing detection, and the accumulation time is
shortened accordingly.
Setting this bit enables the read-with-reset for all the WATTHR, VARHR, and VAHR registers for all
three phases, i.e., a read to those registers resets the registers to 0 after the content of the registers
have been read. This bit should be set to Logic 0 when the LWATT, LVAR, or LVA bits are set to
Logic 1.
Setting this bit causes the FREQ (0x10) register to display the period, instead of the frequency of
the line input.

INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER (0x18)
When an interrupt event occurs in the ADE7758, the IRQ logic output goes active low if the mask bit for this event is Logic 1 in the
MASK register. The IRQ logic output is reset to its default collector open state when the RSTATUS register is read. Table 19 describes the
function of each bit in the interrupt mask register.

ADE7758
INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER (0x19)/RESET INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER (0x1A)
The interrupt status register is used to determine the source of an interrupt event. When an interrupt event occurs in the ADE7758, the
corresponding flag in the interrupt status register is set logic high. The IRQ pin goes 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.
