Typical Connection Diagrams

Figure 7 shows a typical connection diagram for Channel V1. A

shunt is the current sensor selected for this example because of

its low cost compared to other current sensors such as the CT

(current transformer). This IC is ideal for low current meters.

Figure 8 shows a typical connection for Channel V2. Typically,

the ADE7757 is biased around the phase wire, and a resistor

divider is used to provide a voltage signal that is proportional to

convenient way of carrying out a gain calibration on a meter.

POWER SUPPLY MONITOR

The ADE7757 contains an on-chip power supply monitor. The

If the supply is less than 4 V, the ADE7757 becomes inactive.

This is useful to ensure proper device operation at power-up

and power-down. The power supply monitor has built in hyster-

esis and filtering that provide a high degree of immunity to false

triggering from noisy supplies.

As can be seen from Figure 9, the trigger level is nominally set

at 4 V. The tolerance on this trigger level is within

±5%. The

power supply and decoupling for the part should be such that

± 5% as specified for

normal operation.

HPF and Offset Effects

Figure 10 illustrates the effect of offsets on the real power calcu-

lation. As can be seen, offsets on Channel V1 and Channel V2

will contribute a dc component after multiplication. Since this

dc component is extracted by the LPF and used to generate the

real power information, the offsets will contribute a constant

error to the real power calculation. This problem is easily avoided

by the built-in HPF in Channel V1. By removing the offsets

from at least one channel, no error component can be generated

at dc by the multiplication. Error terms at the line frequency ( )

are removed by the LPF and the digital-to-frequency conversion

(see Digital-to-Frequency Conversion section).

The equation below shows how the power calculation is affected

by the dc offsets in the current and voltage channels.
