GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADE7762 is a high accuracy polyphase electrical energy
measurement IC. The ADE7762 specifications surpass the
accuracy requirements as quoted in the IEC62053-21 standard.
The only analog circuitry used in the ADE7762 is in the
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and reference circuit. All
other signal processing (for example, multiplication, filtering,
and summation) is carried out in the digital domain. This
approach provides superior stability and accuracy over
extremes in environmental conditions and over time.
The ADE7762 supplies average active power information on
the low frequency outputs, F1 and F2. These logic outputs can
be used to directly drive an electromechanical counter or to
interface with a microcontroller (MCU). The CF logic output
gives instantaneous active power information. This output is
intended to be used for calibration purposes.
The ADE7762 includes a power supply monitoring circuit on the
VDD pin. The ADE7762 remains inactive until the supply voltage
on VDD reaches 4 V. If the supply falls below 4 V, the ADE7762
resets and no pulses are issued on F1, F2, and CF.
A multiple multiplexed logic output provides phase dropout per
phase, reverse polarity per phase, and a phase sequence error.
Internal phase matching circuitry ensures that the voltage and
current channels are phase matched. An internal no load
threshold ensures that the ADE7762 does not exhibit any creep
when there is no load.
The ADE7762 is available in a 28-lead SOIC package.

1 LED_CTRL LED Control Output. The LED_CTRL signal multiplexes the indication of phase drop, phase sequence
error, and per phase reverse power on the LED_A, LED_B, and LED_C pins.
2 LED_A Phase A Phase Monitor Output. LEDs are connected to this pin to indicate phase drop or reverse power
on Phase A (see the Phase Monitor section).
3 CF Calibration Frequency Logic Output. The CF logic output gives instantaneous active power information.
This output is intended to be used for calibration purposes.
4 DGND This provides the ground reference for the digital circuitry in the ADE7762, that is, multipliers, filters,
and digital-to-frequency converters. Because the digital return currents in the ADE7762 are small, it is
acceptable to connect this pin to the analog ground plane of the whole system.
5 VDD Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the digital circuitry in the ADE7762. The supply
voltage should be maintained at 5 V ± 5% for a specified operation. This pin should be decoupled to
DGND with a 10 μF capacitor in parallel with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor.
6 REVP This logic output goes logic high when negative power is detected on the sum of the three phase
powers. This output is not latched and resets when positive power is once again detected (see the
Negative Total Power Detection section).

Analog Inputs for Current Channels. These channels are intended for use with current transducers and
are referenced in this document as current channels. These inputs are fully differential voltage inputs
with maximum differential input signal levels of ±0.5 V (see the Analog Inputs section). Both inputs
have internal ESD protection circuitry; in addition, an overvoltage of ±6 V can be sustained on these
inputs without risk of permanent damage.
13 AGND This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry in the ADE7762 (ADCs 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, such as antialiasing filters and current
and voltage transducers. To keep ground noise around the ADE7762 to a minimum, the quiet ground
plane should connect to the digital ground plane at only one point. It is acceptable to place the entire
device on the analog ground plane.
14 REFIN/OUT This pin provides access to the on-chip voltage reference. The on-chip reference has a nominal value of
2.4 V ± 8% and a typical temperature coefficient of 25 ppm/°C. An external reference source can also be
connected at this pin. In either case, this pin should be decoupled to AGND with a 1 μF ceramic
capacitor.

VN, VCP, VBP, VAP Analog Inputs for the Voltage Channels. These channels are intended for use with voltage transducers
and are referenced in this document as voltage channels. These inputs are single-ended voltage inputs
with a maximum signal level of ±0.5 V with respect to VN for a specified operation. All inputs have
internal ESD protection circuitry; in addition, an overvoltage of ±6 V can be sustained on these inputs
without risk of permanent damage.
19 ABS This logic input is used to select the method by which the three active energies from each phase are
summed. It selects between the arithmetical sum of the three energies (ABS logic high) or the sum of
the absolute values (ABS logic low). See the Mode Selection of the Sum of the Three Active Energies
section.
20 SCF Select Calibration Frequency. This logic input is used to select the frequency on the calibration output
CF. Table 7 shows how the calibration frequencies are selected.

21 CLKIN Master Clock for the 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 ADE7762. The clock frequency for the specified operation is 10 MHz.
Ceramic load capacitors between 22 pF and 33 pF should be used with the gate oscillator circuit. Refer
to the crystal manufacturers data sheet for the load capacitance requirements.
22 CLKOUT A crystal can be connected across this pin and CLKIN as described for Pin 21 to provide a clock source
for the ADE7762. The CLKOUT pin can drive one CMOS load when an external clock is supplied at CLKIN
or when a crystal is used.
23, 24 S0, S1 These logic inputs are used to select one of four possible frequencies for the digital-to-frequency
conversion for design flexibility.
25, 26 F2, F1 Low Frequency Logic Outputs. F1 and F2 supply average active power information. These logic outputs
can be used to drive electromechanical counters and 2-phase stepper motors directly (see the Transfer
Function section).

TERMINOLOGY
Measurement Error
The error associated with the energy measurement made by the
ADE7762 is defined by the following formula:
Percentage Error =
%100
×
yTrue Energ
yTrue Energ ADE7762istered byEnergy Reg (1)
Error Between Channels
The high-pass filter (HPF) in the current channel has a phase
lead response. To offset this phase response and equalize the
phase response between channels, a phase correction network
is placed in the current channel. The phase correction network
ensures a phase match between the current channels and the
voltage channels to within ±0.1° over a range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz
and ±0.2° over a range of 40 Hz to 1 kHz (see Figure 24 and
Figure 25).
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
This quantifies the ADE7762 measurement error as a percent-
age of reading when the power supplies are varied.
For the ac PSR measurement, a reading at a nominal supply
(5 V) is taken. A 200 mV rms/100 Hz signal is then introduced
onto the supply, and a second reading is obtained under the
same input signal levels. Any error introduced is expressed as a
percentage of reading. See the definition for Measurement Error.
For the dc PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies
(5 V) is taken. The supply is then varied ±5%, and a second
reading is obtained with the same input signal levels. Any
error introduced is again expressed as a percentage of reading.
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 an analog input signal offset.
However, because the HPF is always present, the offset is re-
moved from the current channel, and the power calculation
is not affected by this offset.
Gain Error
The gain error of the ADE7762 is defined as the difference
between the measured output frequency (minus the offset)
and the ideal output frequency. The difference is expressed
as a percentage of the ideal frequency. The ideal frequency is
obtained from the ADE7762 transfer function (see the Transfer
Function section).
ADE7762
Rev. 0 | Page 12 of 28
THEORY OF OPERATION
The six signals from the current and voltage transducers are
digitized with ADCs. These ADCs are 16-bit, second-order
∑-Δ devices with an oversampling rate of 833 kHz. This analog
input structure greatly simplifies transducer interface by
providing a wide dynamic range and bipolar input for direct
connection to the transducer. High-pass filters in the current
channels remove the dc component from the current signals.
This eliminates any inaccuracies in the active power calculation
due to offsets in the voltage or current signals (see the HPF and
Offset Effects section).
The active power calculation is derived from the instantaneous
power signal. The instantaneous power signal is generated by a
direct multiplication of the current and voltage signals of each
phase. To extract the active power component, the dc compo-
nent, the instantaneous power signal is low-pass filtered on
each phase. Figure 12 illustrates the instantaneous active power
signal and shows how the active power information can be
extracted by low-pass filtering the instantaneous power signal.
This method is used to extract the active power information
on each phase of the polyphase system. The total active power
information is then obtained by adding the individual phase
active power. This scheme correctly calculates active power
for nonsinusoidal current and voltage waveforms at all power
factors. All signal processing is carried out in the digital domain
for superior stability over temperature and time.
The low frequency output of the ADE7762 is generated by
accumulating the total active power information. This low
frequency inherently means a long accumulation time between
output pulses. The output frequency is therefore proportional to
the average active power. This average active power information
can, in turn, be accumulated (for example, by a counter) to
generate active energy information. Because of its high output
frequency and, therefore, shorter integration time, the CF
output is proportional to the instantaneous active power. This
pulse is useful for system calibration purposes that take place
under steady load conditions.
POWER FACTOR CONSIDERATIONS
Low-pass filtering, the method used to extract the active power
information from the individual instantaneous power signal, is
still valid when the voltage and current signals of each phase are
not in phase. Figure 13 displays the unity power factor condition
and a displacement power factor (DPF) of 0.5, that is, current
signal lagging the voltage by 60° for one phase of the polyphase.
Assuming that the voltage and current waveforms are sinusoi-
dal, the active power component of the instantaneous power
signal (the dc term) is given by

As can be seen from Equation 6, a harmonic active power
component is generated for every harmonic, provided that
harmonic is present in both the voltage and current waveforms.
The power factor calculation has been shown to be accurate in
the case of a pure sinusoid. Therefore, the harmonic active
power also correctly accounts for power factor because
harmonics are made up of a series of pure sinusoids. A limiting
factor on harmonic measurement is the bandwidth. On the
ADE7762, the bandwidth of the active power measurement is
14 kHz with a master clock frequency of 10 MHz.

ANALOG INPUTS
CURRENT CHANNELS
The voltage outputs from the current transducers are connected
to the ADE7762 current channels, which are fully differential
voltage inputs. IAP, IBP, and ICP are the positive inputs for IAN,
IBN, and ICN, respectively.
The maximum peak differential signal on the current channel
should be less than ±500 mV (353 mV rms for a pure sinusoidal
signal) for the specified operation.

The maximum signal levels on IAP and IAN are shown in

AGND. The maximum common-mode signal shown in
Figure 14 is ±25 mV.
VOLTAGE CHANNELS
The output of the line voltage transducer is connected to the
voltage inputs of the ADE7762. Voltage channels are pseudo-
differential voltage inputs. VAP, VBP, and VCP are the positive
inputs with respect to VN.
The maximum peak differential signal on the voltage channel is

fied operation.

of the ADE7762 can be driven with common-mode voltages of
up to 25 mV with respect to AGND. However, best results are
achieved using a common mode equal to AGND.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAMS
CURRENT CHANNEL CONNECTION
Figure 16 shows a typical connection diagram for the current
channel (IAN). A current transformer (CT) is the current trans-
ducer selected for this example. Notice that the common-mode
voltage for the current channel is AGND and is derived by
center-tapping the burden resistor to AGND. This provides the
complementary analog input signals for IAP and IAN. The CT
turns ratio and Burden Resistor Rb are selected to give a peak
differential voltage of ±500 mV at maximum load.
In theory, it is better to center-tap Rb; however, this requires
very careful attention to the layout and matching of the resistors
to ensure that the channels have the same resistance. A single
resistor may be more practical and is a valid design choice.

VOLTAGE CHANNEL CONNECTION
Figure 17 shows two typical connections for the voltage chan-
nel. The first option uses a potential transformer (PT) to pro-
vide complete isolation from the main voltage. In the second
option, the ADE7762 is biased around the neutral wire, and a
resistor divider is used to provide a voltage signal proportional
to the line voltage. Adjusting the ratio of Ra, Rb, and VR is a
convenient way of carrying out a gain calibration on the meter.
VR can be implemented using either a potentiometer or a
binary weighted series of resistors. Either configuration works,
however, the potentiometer is subject to noise over time. Two
fixed value resistors can be used in place of VR to minimize
the noise.

POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
The ADE7762 contains an on-chip power supply monitor. The
power supply (VDD) is monitored continuously. At power-up,
when the supply is less than 4 V ± 2% and VREF is less than 1.9 V
(typical), the outputs of the ADE7762 are inactive and the data
path is held in reset. Once VDD is greater than 4 V ±2% and
VREF is greater than 1.9 V (typical), the chip is active and energy
accumulation begins. At power-down, when VDD falls below
4 V or VREF falls below 1.9 V (typical), the data path is again held
in reset. This implementation ensures correct device operation
at power-up and at power-down. The power supply monitor
has built-in hysteresis and filtering. This gives a high degree of
immunity to false triggering due to noisy supplies.
The power supply and decoupling for the part should be such
that the ripple at VDD does not exceed ±5% as specified for
normal operation.

PHASE MONITOR
The ADE7762 has phase monitoring functions to detect phase
dropout, phase sequence error, and reverse polarity using four
pins. Phase dropout has the highest priority, and reverse
polarity has the lowest priority. If a phase dropout occurs, phase
sequence error indication is disabled until all three phases are
above the phase dropout level (see the Phase Dropout Error
section). Because the dropout detection level is not set to zero, a
phase can have some small voltage during a phase dropout
condition. Therefore, reverse polarity is still indicated on that
phase if the proper conditions occur.
The phase monitor circuit functions by multiplexing signals onto
the four pins. The four multiplexed pins are LED_CTRL, LED_A,
LED_B, and LED_C. Two LEDs can be connected to each pin as
shown in Figure 21. When LED_CTRL is high, LED_A is low to
turn on an LED and indicate a phase drop condition on Phase A.
When LED_CTRL is low, LED_A is high to indicate a reverse
polarity (REVP) condition on Phase A. Phase sequence error is
indicated by blinking the Phase Seq/Drop LEDs.
LED_CTRL switches at a rate of 131 kHz so that both the Phase
Seq/Drop LEDs and REVP LEDs can appear to be on simultane-
ously, which allows indication of phase dropout and REVP at the
same time. For the timing diagram, see Figure 3.

PHASE DROPOUT ERROR
The ADE7762 indicates a phase drop condition when there is a
low voltage signal or no voltage signal on a phase. The phase
dropout condition occurs when the amplitude of the phase
drops below 20% of full-scale analog input voltage or when a
zero crossing is not followed by another zero crossing on that
phase for 150 ms. When this occurs, a phase dropout signal is
generated, and the Phase Seq/Drop LED is turned on for the
missing phase. The delay between the phase drop condition
occurring at the analog inputs and indication of the condition
on the LED outputs is approximately 150 ms. During a phase
dropout condition, energy continues to accumulate on the
dropped channel, as well as the other channels, and phase
sequence error indication is disabled. The Phase Seq/Drop LED
for the dropped phase is turned off when the zero crossings
return for more than 150 ms and there is more than 20% of full-
scale input voltage on the voltage input of that phase.
PHASE SEQUENCE ERROR
The ADE7762 detects the zero crossing of each phase. A phase
sequence error occurs when the sequence A>B>C>A> … is
violated. If a phase sequence error occurs, the Phase Seq/Drop
LEDs blink at 1 Hz (see Figure 22).
Phase sequence error and REVP can be displayed simultane-
ously. The REVP LEDs continue to indicate reverse polarity if
the proper conditions exist. For example, if the phase sequence
becomes A>C>B>A… and Phase B has negative active energy
accumulated, then the REVP LED for Phase B is on solid, and
all of the Phase Seq/Drop LEDs are blinking at 1 Hz. The delay
in indicating the phase sequence error with blinking LEDs is
approximately 150 ms from the time that a phase sequence
error occurs.
PHASE REVERSE POLARITY DETECTION
When reverse power is detected on any phase, the correspond-
ing REVP LED turns on for that phase. For example, if the
power for Phase A is negative, the REVP LED connected to
LED_A turns on. The indication of REVP on the LED_A,
LED_B, or LED_C pins is nearly instantaneous. As soon as the
input to the ADCs changes and the power is calculated such
that there is a reverse power condition on any phase, the
appropriate LED is turned on.

HPF AND OFFSET EFFECTS
Figure 23 shows the effect of offsets on the active power
calculation. An offset on the current channel and the voltage
channel contributes a dc component after multiplication, as
shown in Figure 23. Because this dc component is extracted by
the LPF and is used to generate the active power information
for each phase, the offsets can contribute a constant error to the
total active power calculation. The HPF in the current channels
avoids this problem easily. By removing the offset from at least
one channel, no error component can be generated at dc by the
multiplication. Error terms at cos(ωt) are removed by the LPF
and the digital-to-frequency conversion (see the Digital-to-
Frequency Conversion) section.

The ADE7762 is phase compensated up to 1 kHz as shown. This

DIGITAL-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERSION
After multiplication, the digital output of the low-pass filter
contains the active power information of each phase. However,
because this LPF is not an ideal brick wall filter implementation,
the output signal also contains attenuated components at the line
frequency and its harmonics, that is, cos(hωt), where h = 1, 2, 3 …
The magnitude response of the filter is given by

where the −3 dB cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter is 8 Hz.
For a line frequency of 50 Hz, this gives an attenuation of
the 2ω (100 Hz) component of approximately −22 dB. The
dominating harmonic is twice the line frequency, that is,
cos(2ωt), due to the instantaneous power signal. Figure 26
shows the instantaneous active power signal at the output of
the CF, which still contains a significant amount of instantane-
ous power information, cos(2ωt).
This signal is then passed to the digital-to-frequency converter
where it is integrated (accumulated) over time to produce an
output frequency. This accumulation of the signal suppresses or
averages out any nondc component in the instantaneous active
power signal.
The average value of a sinusoidal signal is zero. Thus, the
frequency generated by the ADE7762 is proportional to the
average active power. Figure 26 shows the digital-to-frequency
conversion for steady load conditions, that is, constant voltage
and current.
The frequency output CF varies over time, even under steady load
conditions (see Figure 26). This frequency variation is primarily
due to the cos(2ωt) components in the instantaneous active power
signal. The output frequency on CF can be up to 160× higher than
the frequency on F1 and F2. The higher output frequency is
generated by accumulating the instantaneous active power signal
over a much shorter time, while converting it to a frequency. This
shorter accumulation period means less averaging of the cos(2ωt)
component. Therefore, some of this instantaneous power signal
passes through the digital-to-frequency conversion.
Where CF is used for calibration purposes, the frequency counter
should average the frequency to remove the ripple and obtain a
stable frequency. If CF is used to measure energy, for example, in a
microprocessor-based application, the CF output should also be
averaged to calculate power. Because the outputs F1 and F2 operate
at a much lower frequency, significant averaging of the
instantaneous active power signal is carried out. The result is a
greatly attenuated sinusoidal content and a virtually ripple-free
frequency output on F1 and F2, which are used to measure energy
in a stepper motor-based meter.

ACCUMULATION OF 3-PHASE POWER
Power Measurement Considerations
Calculating and displaying power information always have
some associated ripple that depends on the integration period
used in the MCU to determine average power as well as the
load. For example, at light loads, the output frequency can be
10 Hz. With an integration period of 2 seconds, only about
20 pulses are counted. The possibility of missing one pulse
always exists because the ADE7762 output frequency is running
asynchronously to the MCU timer. This results in a 1-in-20
or 5% error in the power measurement. To remedy this, an
appropriate integration time should be considered to achieve
the desired accuracy.
Mode Selection of the Sum of the Three Active Energies
The ADE7762 can be configured to execute the arithmetic sum
of the three active energies, Wh = WhΦA + WhΦB + WhΦC, or the
sum of the absolute value of these energies, Wh = |WhΦA| +
|WhΦB| + |WhΦC|. The selection between the two modes can be
made by setting the ABS pin. Logic high and logic low applied
on the ABS pin correspond to the arithmetic sum and the sum
of absolute values, respectively.
When the sum of the absolute values is selected, the active
energy from each phase is always counted positive in the total
active energy. It is particularly useful in 3-phase, 4-wire installa-
tion where the sign of the active power should always be the
same. If the meter is misconnected to the power lines, that is,
if CT is connected in the wrong direction, then the total active
energy recorded without this solution can be reduced by
two-thirds.
The sum of the absolute values assures that the active energy
recorded represents the actual active energy delivered. In this
mode, the reverse power pin still detects when the arithmetic
sum of the active powers is negative, but energy continues to
accumulate regardless of the sign.
Negative Total Power Detection
The ADE7762 detects when total power, calculated as the
arithmetic sum of the three phases, is negative. This detection
is independent of the mode of the sum of the three powers
(arithmetic or absolute). This mechanism can detect an incor-
rect connection of the meter or generation of negative active
energy. When the sum of the powers of the three phases is
negative, the REVP pin output goes active high. When the
sum of the powers of the three phases is positive, the REVP
pin output is reset to low.
The REVP pin output changes state at the same time that a
pulse is issued on CF. If the sum of the powers of the three
phases is negative, then the REVP pin output stays high until
the sum of the three phases’ power is positive or until all three
phases are below the no-load threshold.

TRANSFER FUNCTION
FREQUENCY OUTPUTS F1 AND F2
The ADE7762 calculates the product of six voltage signals (on
current channel and voltage channel) and then low-pass filters
this product to extract active power information. This active
power information is then converted to a frequency. The
frequency information is output on F1 and F2 in the form of
active high pulses. The pulse rate at these outputs is relatively
low, for example, 2.09 Hz maximum for ac signals with SCF =
S0 = 0; S1 = 1 (see Table 6). This means that the frequency at
these outputs is generated from active power information
accumulated over a relatively long period. The result is an
output frequency that is proportional to the average active
power. The averaging of the active power signal is implicit to
the digital-to-frequency conversion. The output frequency or
pulse rate is related to the input voltage signals by the following

As can be seen from these two example calculations, the maximum
output frequency for ac inputs is always half of that for dc input
signals. The maximum frequency also depends on the number
of phases connected to the ADE7762. In a 3-phase, 3-wire delta
service, the maximum output frequency is different from the maxi-
mum output frequency in a 3-phase, 4-wire Wye service. The
reason is that there are only two phases connected to the analog
inputs, but also that in a delta service, the current channel input
and voltage channel input of the same phase are not in phase in
normal operation.
Example 2
In this example, the ADE7762 is connected to a 3-phase, 3-wire
delta service as shown in Figure 18. The total active energy
calculation processed in the ADE7762 can be expressed as
Total Active Power = (VAVC) × IA + (VB VC) × IB (15)
where:
VA, VB, and VC represent the voltage on Phase A, Phase B, and
Phase C, respectively.
IA and IB represent the current on Phase A and Phase B,
respectively.
With respect to the voltage and current inputs in Equation 7
and Equation 8, the total active power (P) is

FREQUENCY OUTPUT CF
The pulse output calibration frequency (CF) is intended for use
during calibration. The output pulse rate on CF can be up to
64× the pulse rate on F1 and F2. Table 7 shows how the two
frequencies are related, depending on the states of the logic
inputs S0, S1, and SCF. Because of its relatively high pulse rate,
the frequency at this logic output is proportional to the instantane-
ous active power. As is the case with F1 and F2, the frequency is
derived from the output of the low-pass filter after multiplication.
However, because the output frequency is high, this active
power information is accumulated over a much shorter time.
Thus, less averaging is carried out in the digital-to-frequency
conversion. The CF output is much more responsive to power
fluctuations with much less averaging of the active power signal
(see Figure 12).

SELECTING A FREQUENCY FOR AN ENERGY METER APPLICATION
As shown in Table 5, the user can select one of seven frequencies.
This frequency selection determines the maximum frequency on
F1 and F2. These outputs are intended to be used to drive the
energy register (electromechanical or other). Because seven
different output frequencies can be selected, the available
frequency selection has been optimized for a 3-phase, 4-wire
service with a meter constant of 100 imp/kWh and a maximum
current of between 10 A and 100 A. Table 8 shows the output
frequency for several maximum currents (IMAX) with a line
voltage of 220 V (phase neutral). In all cases, the meter constant
is 100 imp/kWh.
Table 8. F1 and F2 Frequency at 100 imp/kWh
IMAX (A) F1 and F2 (Hz)
10 0.18
25 0.46
40 0.73
60 1.10
80 1.47
100 1.83
The f1 to 7 frequencies allow complete coverage of this range of
output frequencies on F1 and F2. When designing an energy
meter, the nominal design voltage on the voltage channels
should be set to half scale to allow for calibration of the meter
constant. The current channel should also be no more than
half scale when the meter sees maximum load. This allows
overcurrent signals and signals with high crest factors to be
accommodated. Table 9 shows the output frequency on F1
and F2 when all six analog inputs are half scale.

0 0 0 2.24 0.23
1 0 0 4.49 0.46
0 0 1 1.12 0.12
1 0 1 4.49 0.46
0 1 0 5.09 0.52
1 1 0 1.12 0.12
0 1 1 0.56 0.06
1 1 1 0.56 0.06
When selecting a suitable f1 to 7 frequency for a meter design, the
frequency output at IMAX (maximum load) with a 100 imp/kWh
meter constant should be compared with Column 5 of Table 9.
The frequency that is closest in Table 9 determines the best
choice of frequency (f1 to 7). For example, if a 3-phase, 4-wire
Wye meter with a 25 A maximum current is being designed,
the output frequency on F1 and F2 with a 100 imp/kWh meter
constant is 0.46 Hz at 25 A and 220 V (see Table 8). Looking at
Table 9, the closest frequency to 0.46 Hz in Column 5 is 0.46 Hz.
Therefore, f1 to 7 = 4.49 Hz is selected for this design.
FREQUENCY OUTPUTS
Figure 2 shows a timing diagram for the various frequency
outputs. The outputs F1 and F2 are the low frequency outputs
that can be used to directly drive a stepper motor or electro-
mechanical impulse counter. The F1 and F2 outputs provide
two alternating high going pulses. The pulse width (t1) is set at
120 ms, and the time between the rising edges of F1 and F2 (t3)
is approximately half the period of F1 (t2). If, however, the
period of F1 and F2 falls below 550 ms (1.81 Hz), the pulse
width of F1 and F2 is set to half of their period. The maximum
output frequencies for F1 and F2 are shown in Table 6.
The high frequency CF output is intended to be used for
communications and calibration purposes. CF produces a
90 ms-wide active high pulse (t4) at a frequency proportional
to active power. The CF output frequencies are given in Table 7.
As in the case of F1 and F2, if the period of CF (t5) falls below
190 ms, the CF pulse width is set to half the period. For exam-
ple, if the CF frequency is 20 Hz, the CF pulse width is 25 ms.

NO-LOAD THRESHOLD
The ADE7762 includes an innovative no-load threshold detection
scheme that detects if a current input, when multiplied with any
of the three voltage inputs, cannot create power larger than a no-
load threshold. This threshold represents 0.0075% of the full-
scale output frequency.
For example, if the A, B, and C voltage phases are 50% of full-
scale input and 120° apart, and Current Phase A is 10% of full
scale with a PF = 0, this detection scheme detects that VA × IA
is below the no-load threshold but that VB × IA and VC × IA are
not. Therefore, the ADE7762 does not detect a no-load threshold
for VA × IA and lets this phase contribute to the total power.
However, in the same voltage conditions, if Current Phase A is
0.0075% of full scale with a PF = 1, this detection scheme detects
that VA × IA is below the no-load threshold. Because VB × IA
and VC × IA are as well, VA × IA is detected as below the no-load
threshold, and its contribution to the total power is stopped.
The no-load threshold is given as 0.0075% of the full-scale
output frequency for each of the f1 to 7 frequencies (see Table 10).
For example, for an energy meter with a 100 imp/kWh meter
constant using f1 to 7 (4.49 Hz), the minimum output frequency
at F1 or F2 is 1.38 × 10−4 Hz. This is 2.21 × 10−3 Hz at CF
(16 × F1 Hz). In this example, the no-load threshold is equiva-
lent to 4.8 W of load, or a start-up current of 20.7 mA at 240 V.
