ADE7758

The ADE7758 is a high accuracy, 3-phase electrical energy measurement IC with a serial interface and two pulse outputs. The ADE7758 incorporates second-order Σ-Δ ADCs, a digital integrator, reference circuitry, a temperature sensor, and all the signal processing required to perform active, reactive, and apparent energy measurement and rms calculations.The ADE7758 is suitable to measure active, reactive, and apparent energy in various 3-phase configurations, such as WYE or DELTA services, with both three and four wires. The ADE7758 provides system calibration features for each phase, that is, rms offset correction, phase calibration, and power calibration. The APCF logic output gives active power information, and the VARCF logic output provides instantaneous reactive or apparent power information.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. The zero-crossing detection is used inside the chip for 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.
