GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADE77531 features proprietary ADCs and DSP for high
accuracy over large variations in environmental conditions and
time. The ADE7753 incorporates two second-order 16-bit -Δ
ADCs, a digital integrator (on CH1), reference circuitry,
temperature sensor, and all the signal processing required to
perform active, reactive, and apparent energy measurements,
line-voltage period measurement, and rms calculation on the
voltage and current. The selectable on-chip digital integrator
provides direct interface to di/dt current sensors such as
Rogowski coils, eliminating the need for an external analog
integrator and resulting in excellent long-term stability and pre-
cise phase matching between the current and voltage channels.
The ADE7753 provides a serial interface to read data, and a
pulse output frequency (CF), which is proportional to the active
power. Various system calibration features, i.e., channel offset
correction, phase calibration, and power calibration, ensure
high accuracy. The part also detects short duration low or high
voltage variations.
The positive-only accumulation mode gives the option to
accumulate energy only when positive power is detected. An
internal no-load threshold ensures that the part does not exhibit
any creep when there is no load. The zero-crossing output (ZX)
produces a pulse that is synchronized to the zero-crossing point
of the line voltage. This signal is used internally in the line cycle
active and apparent energy accumulation modes, which enables
faster calibration.
The interrupt status register indicates the nature of the interrupt,
and the interrupt enable register controls which event produces
an output on the IRQ pin, an open-drain, active low logic output.
The ADE7753 is available in a 20-lead SSOP package.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Percentage
Phase Error between Channels
The digital integrator and the high-pass filter (HPF) in Channel 1
have a non-ideal phase response. To offset this phase response
and equalize the phase response between channels, two phase-
correction networks are placed in Channel 1: one for the digital
integrator and the other for the HPF. The phase correction
networks correct the phase response of the corresponding
component and ensure a phase match between Channel 1
(current) and Channel 2 (voltage) to within ±0.1° over a range
of 45 Hz to 65 Hz with the digital integrator off. With the digital
integrator on, the phase is corrected to within ±0.4°
over a range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz.
Power Supply Rejection
This quantifies the ADE7753 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 (175 mV rms/120 Hz) signal 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 supplies are varied ±5%. Any error
introduced is again expressed as a percentage of the reading.
ADC Offset Error
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
HPF1 is switched on, the offset is removed from Channel 1
(current) and the power calculation is not affected by this offset.
The offsets can be removed by performing an offset
calibration—see the Analog Inputs section.
Gain Error
The difference between the measured ADC output code (minus
the offset) and the ideal output code—see the Channel 1 ADC
and Channel 2 ADC sections. It is measured for each of the
input ranges on Channel 1 (0.5 V, 0.25 V, and 0.125 V). The
difference is expressed as a percentage of the ideal code.

1 RESET1Reset Pin for the ADE7753. A logic low on this pin holds the ADCs and digital circuitry (including the serial
interface) in a reset condition.
2 DVDD
Digital Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the digital circuitry in the ADE7753. 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.
3 AVDD
Analog Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the analog circuitry in the ADE7753. 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 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.
4, 5 V1P, V1N Analog Inputs for Channel 1. This channel is intended for use with a di/dt current transducer such as a
Rogowski coil or another current sensor such as a shunt or current transformer (CT). 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 full-scale selection—see the Analog Inputs section. Channel 1 also has a PGA with gain
selections of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. The maximum signal level at these pins with respect to AGND is ±0.5 V. Both
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.
6, 7 V2N, V2P Analog Inputs for Channel 2. This channel is intended for use with the voltage transducer. These inputs are
fully differential voltage inputs with a maximum differential signal level of ±0.5 V. Channel 2 also has a PGA
with gain selections of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. The maximum signal level at these pins with respect to AGND is
±0.5 V. Both inputs have internal ESD protection circuitry, and an overvoltage of ±6 V can be sustained on
these inputs without risk of permanent damage.
8 AGND
Analog Ground Reference. This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry in the ADE7753,
i.e., 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, for example,
anti-aliasing filters, current and voltage transducers, etc. To keep ground noise around the ADE7753 to a
minimum, the quiet ground plane should connected to the digital ground plane at only one point. It is
acceptable to place the entire device on the analog ground plane.
9 REFIN/OUT 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 30 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.
10 DGND Digital Ground Reference. This pin provides the ground reference for the digital circuitry in the ADE7753,
i.e., multiplier, filters, and digital-to-frequency converter. Because the digital return currents in the ADE7753
are small, it is acceptable to connect this pin to the analog ground plane of the system. However, high bus
capacitance on the DOUT pin could result in noisy digital current, which could affect performance.
11 CF Calibration Frequency Logic Output. The CF logic output gives active power information. This output is
intended to be used for operational and calibration purposes. The full-scale output frequency can be
adjusted by writing to the CFDEN and CFNUM registers—see the Energy-to-Frequency Conversion section.

Pin No. Mnemonic Description
12 ZX Voltage Waveform (Channel 2) Zero-Crossing Output. This output toggles logic high and logic low at the
zero crossing of the differential signal on Channel 2—see the Zero-Crossing Detection section.
13 SAG This open-drain logic output goes active low when either no zero crossings are detected or a low voltage
threshold (Channel 2) is crossed for a specified duration—see the Line Voltage Sag Detection section.
14 IRQ Interrupt Request Output. This is an active low open-drain logic output. Maskable interrupts include active
energy register rollover, active energy register at half level, and arrivals of new waveform samples—see the
ADE7753 Interrupts section.
15 CLKIN Master Clock for ADCs and Digital Signal Processing. An external clock can be provided at this logic input.
Alternatively, a parallel resonant AT crystal can be connected across CLKIN and CLKOUT to provide a clock
source for the ADE7753. The clock frequency for specified operation is 3.579545 MHz. Ceramic load
capacitors of between 22 pF and 33 pF should be used with the gate oscillator circuit. Refer to the crystal
manufacturer’s data sheet for load capacitance requirements.
16 CLKOUT
A crystal can be connected across this pin and CLKIN as described for Pin 15 to provide a clock source for
the ADE7753. The CLKOUT pin can drive one CMOS load when either an external clock is supplied at CLKIN
or a crystal is being used.
17 CS Chip Select. Part of the 4-wire SPI serial interface. This active low logic input allows the ADE7753 to share
the serial bus with several other devices—see the ADE7753 Serial Interface section.
18 SCLK Serial Clock Input for the Synchronous Serial Interface. All serial data transfers are synchronized to this
clock—see the ADE7753 Serial Interface section. The SCLK has a Schmitt-trigger input for use with a clock
source that has a slow edge transition time, for example, opto-isolator output.
19 DOUT 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
ADE7753 Serial Interface section.
20 DIN Data Input for the Serial Interface. Data is shifted in at this pin on the falling edge of SCLK—see the
ADE7753 Serial Interface section.
1 It is recommended to drive the RESET, SCLK, and CS pins with either a push-pull without an external series resistor or with an open-collector with a 10 kΩ pull-up
resistor. Pull-down resistors are not recommended because under some conditions, they may interact with internal circuitry.

THEORY OF OPERATION
ANALOG INPUTS
The ADE7753 has two fully differential voltage input channels.
The maximum differential input voltage for input pairs V1P/V1N
and V2P/V2N is ±0.5 V. In addition, the maximum signal level
on analog inputs for V1P/V1N and V2P/ V2N is ±0.5 V with
respect to AGND.
Each analog input channel has a programmable gain amplifier
(PGA) with possible gain selections of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The
gain selections are made by writing to the gain register—see
Figure 32. Bits 0 to 2 select the gain for the PGA in Channel 1,
and the gain selection for the PGA in Channel 2 is made via
Bits 5 to 7. Figure 31 shows how a gain selection for Channel 1
is made using the gain register.

In addition to the PGA, Channel 1 also has a full-scale input
range selection for the ADC. The ADC analog input range
selection is also made using the gain register—see Figure 32. As
mentioned previously, the maximum differential input voltage
is 0.5 V. However, by using Bits 3 and 4 in the gain register, the
maximum ADC input voltage can be set to 0.5 V, 0.25 V, or
0.125 V. This is achieved by adjusting the ADC reference—see
the ADE7753 Reference Circuit section. Table 5 summarizes the
maximum differential input signal level on Channel 1 for the
various ADC range and gain selections.

Figure 32. ADE7753 Analog Gain Register
It is also possible to adjust offset errors on Channel 1 and
Channel 2 by writing to the offset correction registers, CH1OS
and CH2OS, respectively. These registers allow channel offsets
in the range ±20 mV to ±50 mV (depending on the gain setting)
to be removed. Channel 1 and 2 offset registers are sign magni-
tude coded. A negative number is applied to the Channel 1
offset register, CH1OS, for a negative offset adjustment. Note
that the Channel 2 offset register is inverted. A negative number
is applied to CH2OS for a positive offset adjustment. It is not
necessary to perform an offset correction in an energy measure-
ment application if HPF in Channel 1 is switched on. Figure 33
shows the effect of offsets on the real power calculation. As seen
from Figure 33, an offset on Channel 1 and Channel 2
contributes a dc component after multiplication. Because this dc
component is extracted by LPF2 to generate the active (real)
power information, the offsets contribute an error to the active
power calculation. This problem is easily avoided by enabling
HPF in Channel 1. By removing the offset from at least one
channel, no error component is generated at dc by the
multiplication. Error terms at cos(ωt) are removed by LPF2 and
by integration of the active power signal in the active energy
register (AENERGY[23:0]) —see the Energy Calculation section.

Figure 33. Effect of Channel Offsets on the Real Power Calculation
The contents of the offset correction registers are 6-bit, sign and
magnitude coded. The weight of the LSB depends on the gain
setting, i.e., 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. Table 6 shows the correctable offset
span for each of the gain settings and the LSB weight (mV) for
the offset correction registers. The maximum value that can be
written to the offset correction registers is ±31d—see Figure 34.
Figure 34 shows the relationship between the offset correction
register contents and the offset (mV) on the analog inputs for a
gain setting of 1. In order to perform an offset adjustment, the
analog inputs should be first connected to AGND, and there
should be no signal on either Channel 1 or Channel 2. A read
from Channel 1 or Channel 2 using the waveform register
indicates the offset in the channel. This offset can be canceled
by writing an equal and opposite offset value to the Channel 1
offset register, or an equal value to the Channel 2 offset register.
The offset correction can be confirmed by performing another
read. Note when adjusting the offset of Channel 1, one should
disable the digital integrator and the HPF.

di/dt CURRENT SENSOR AND DIGITAL INTEGRATOR
A di/dt sensor detects changes in magnetic field caused by ac
current. Figure 35 shows the principle of a di/dt current sensor.

+ EMF (ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE)
– INDUCED BY CHANGES IN
MAGNETIC FLUX DENSITY (di/dt)
02875-0-035
Figure 35. Principle of a di/dt Current Sensor
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, which 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. 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 ADE7753
has a built-in digital integrator to recover the current signal
from the di/dt sensor. The digital integrator on Channel 1 is
switched off by default when the ADE7753 is powered up.
Setting the MSB of CH1OS register turns on the integrator.
Figure 36 to Figure 39 show the magnitude and phase response
of the digital integrator.

Figure 39. Combined Phase Response of the
Digital Integrator and Phase Compensator (40 Hz to 70 Hz)
Note that the integrator has a –20 dB/dec attenuation and an
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. The di/dt sensor
has a 20 dB/dec gain associated with it. It also generates signifi-
cant high frequency noise, therefore a more effective anti-
aliasing filter is needed to avoid noise due to aliasing—see the
Antialias Filter section.
When the digital integrator is switched off, the ADE7753 can be
used directly with a conventional current sensor such as a current
transformer (CT) or with a low resistance current shunt.
ZERO-CROSSING DETECTION
The ADE7753 has a zero-crossing detection circuit on
Channel 2. This zero crossing is used to produce an external
zero-crossing signal (ZX), and it is also used in the calibration
mode—see the Calibrating an Energy Meter Based on the
ADE7753 section. The zero-crossing signal is also used to
initiate a temperature measurement on the ADE7753—see the
Temperature Measurement section.
Figure 40 shows how the zero-crossing signal is generated from
the output of LPF1.

Figure 40. Zero-Crossing Detection on Channel 2
The ZX signal goes logic high on a positive-going zero crossing
and logic low on a negative-going zero crossing on Channel 2.
The zero-crossing signal ZX is generated from the output of
LPF1. LPF1 has a single pole at 140 Hz (at CLKIN = 3.579545
MHz). As a result, there is a phase lag between the analog input
signal V2 and the output of LPF1. The phase response of this
filter is shown in the Channel 2 Sampling section. The phase lag
response of LPF1 results in a time delay of approximately
1.14 ms (@ 60 Hz) between the zero crossing on the analog
inputs of Channel 2 and the rising or falling edge of ZX.
The zero-crossing detection also drives the ZX flag in the
interrupt status register. The ZX flag is set to Logic 0 on the
rising and falling edge of the voltage waveform. It stays low
until the status register is read with reset. An active low in the
IRQ output also appears if the corresponding bit in the
interrupt enable register is set to Logic 1.
ADE7753
Rev. C | Page 19 of 60
The flag in the interrupt status register as well as the IRQ output
are reset to their default values when the interrupt status register
with reset (RSTSTATUS) is read.
Zero-Crossing Timeout
The zero-crossing detection also has an associated timeout
register, ZXTOUT. This unsigned, 12-bit register is decremented
(1 LSB) every 128/CLKIN seconds. The register is reset to its
user programmed full-scale value every time a zero crossing is
detected on Channel 2. The default power on value in this
register is 0xFFF. If the internal register decrements to 0 before
a zero crossing is detected and the DISSAG bit in the mode
register is Logic 0, the SAG pin goes active low. The absence
of a zero crossing is also indicated on the IRQ pin if the ZXTO
enable bit in the interrupt enable register is set to Logic 1.
Irrespective of the enable bit setting, the ZXTO flag in the
interrupt status register is always set when the internal ZXTOUT
register is decremented to 0—see the section. ADE7753 Interrupts
The ZXOUT register can be written/read by the user and has an
address of 1Dh—see the ADE7753 Serial Interface section. The
resolution of the register is 128/CLKIN seconds per LSB. Thus the
maximum delay for an interrupt is 0.15 second (128/CLKIN × 212).
Figure 41 shows the mechanism of the zero-crossing timeout
detection when the line voltage stays at a fixed dc level for more
than CLKIN/128 × ZXTOUT seconds.

PERIOD MEASUREMENT
The ADE7753 also provides the period measurement of the
line. The period register is an unsigned 16-bit register and is
updated every period. The MSB of this register is always zero.
The resolution of this register is 2.2 μs/LSB when CLKIN =
3.579545 MHz, which represents 0.013% when the line fre-
quency is 60 Hz. When the line frequency is 60 Hz, the value of
the period register is approximately CLKIN/4/32/60 Hz × 16 =
7457d. The length of the register enables the measurement of line
frequencies as low as 13.9 Hz.
The period register is stable at ±1 LSB when the line is
established and the measurement does not change. A settling
time of 1.8 seconds is associated with this filter before the
measurement is stable.
POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
The ADE7753 also contains an on-chip power supply monitor.
The analog supply (AVDD) is continuously monitored by the
ADE7753. If the supply is less than 4 V ± 5%, then the
ADE7753 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, which give a high degree of immunity
to false triggering due to noisy supplies.

As seen in Figure 42, the trigger level is nominally set at 4 V.
The tolerance on this trigger level is about ±5%. The SAG pin
can also be used as a power supply monitor input to the MCU.
The SAG pin goes logic low when the ADE7753 is in its inactive
state. The power supply and decoupling for the part should be
such that the ripple at AVDD does not exceed 5 V ±5%, as
specified for normal operation.
LINE VOLTAGE SAG DETECTION
In addition to the detection of the loss of the line voltage signal
(zero crossing), the ADE7753 can also be programmed to detect
when the absolute value of the line voltage drops below a
certain peak value for a number of line cycles. This condition is
illustrated in Figure 43.

Figure 43 shows the line voltage falling below a threshold that is
set in the sag level register (SAGLVL[7:0]) for three line cycles.
The quantities 0 and 1 are not valid for the SAGCYC register,
and the contents represent one more than the desired number
of full line cycles. For example, when the sag cycle (SAGCYC[7:0])
contains 0x04, the SAG pin goes active low at the end of the
third line cycle for which the line voltage (Channel 2 signal)
falls below the threshold, if the DISSAG bit in the mode register
is Logic 0. As is the case when zero crossings are no longer
detected, the sag event is also recorded by setting the SAG flag
in the interrupt status register. If the SAG enable bit is set to
Logic 1, the IRQ logic output goes active low—see the
section. The
ADE7753
Interrupts SAG pin goes logic high again when the
absolute value of the signal on Channel 2 exceeds the sag level
set in the sag level register. This is shown in when the Figure 43
SAG pin goes high again during the fifth line cycle from the
time when the signal on Channel 2 first dropped below the
threshold level.
Sag Level Set
The contents of the sag level register (1 byte) are compared to
the absolute value of the most significant byte output from LPF1
after it is shifted left by one bit, thus, for example, the nominal
maximum code from LPF1 with a full-scale signal on Channel 2
is 0x2518—see the Channel 2 Sampling section. Shifting one bit
left gives 0x4A30. Therefore writing 0x4A to the SAG level
register puts the sag detection level at full scale. Writing 0x00 or
0x01 puts the sag detection level at 0. The SAG level register is
compared to the most significant byte of a waveform sample
after the shift left and detection is made when the contents of
the sag level register are greater.
PEAK DETECTION
The ADE7753 can also be programmed to detect when the
absolute value of the voltage or current channel exceeds a
specified peak value. Figure 44 illustrates the behavior of the
peak detection for the voltage channel. Both Channel 1 and
Channel 2 are monitored at the same time.

Figure 44 shows a line voltage exceeding a threshold that is set
in the voltage peak register (VPKLVL[7:0]). The voltage peak
event is recorded by setting the PKV flag in the interrupt status
register. If the PKV enable bit is set to Logic 1 in the interrupt
mask register, the IRQ logic output goes active low. Similarly,
the current peak event is recorded by setting the PKI flag in the
interrupt status register—see the section. ADE7753 Interrupts
Peak Level Set
The contents of the VPKLVL and IPKLVL registers are
respectively compared to the absolute value of Channel 1 and
Channel 2 after they are multiplied by 2. Thus, for example, the
nominal maximum code from the Channel 1 ADC with a full-
scale signal is 0x2851EC—see the Channel 1 Sampling section.
Multiplying by 2 gives 0x50A3D8. Therefore, writing 0x50 to
the IPKLVL register, for example, puts the Channel 1 peak
detection level at full scale and sets the current peak detection
to its least sensitive value. Writing 0x00 puts the Channel 1
detection level at 0. The detection is done by comparing the
contents of the IPKLVL register to the incoming Channel 1
sample. The IRQ pin indicates that the peak level is exceeded if
the PKI or PKV bits are set in the interrupt enable register
(IRQEN[15:0]) at Address 0x0A.
Peak Level Record
The ADE7753 records the maximum absolute value reached by
Channel 1 and Channel 2 in two different registers—IPEAK
and VPEAK, respectively. VPEAK and IPEAK are 24-bit
unsigned registers. These registers are updated each time the
absolute value of the waveform sample from the corresponding
channel is above the value stored in the VPEAK or IPEAK
register. The contents of the VPEAK register correspond to 2×
the maximum absolute value observed on the Channel 2 input.
The contents of IPEAK represent the maximum absolute value
observed on the Channel 1 input. Reading the RSTVPEAK and
RSTIPEAK registers clears their respective contents after the read
operation.

Using the ADE7753 Interrupts with an MCU
ADE7753 INTERRUPTS
Figure 46 shows a timing diagram with a suggested implemen-
tation of ADE7753 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 ADE7753. 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 by using the global interrupt enable bit. At this
point, the MCU external interrupt flag can be cleared to capture
interrupt events that occur during the current ISR. When the
MCU interrupt flag is cleared, a read from the status register
with reset is carried out. This causes the IRQ line to be reset
logic high (t2)—see the section. The status
register contents are used to determine the source of the
interrupt(s) and therefore the appropriate action to be taken. If
a subsequent interrupt event occurs during the ISR, that event is
recorded by the MCU external interrupt flag being set again
(t3). On returning from the ISR, the global interrupt mask is
cleared (same instruction cycle), and the external interrupt flag
causes the MCU to jump to its ISR once a gain. This ensures
that the MCU does not miss any external interrupts.
Interrupt Timing
ADE7753 interrupts are managed through the interrupt status
register (STATUS[15:0]) and the interrupt enable register
(IRQEN[15:0]). When an interrupt event occurs in the ADE7753,
the corresponding flag in the status register is set to Logic 1—
see the Interrupt Status Register section. If the enable bit for this
interrupt in the interrupt enable register is Logic 1, then the
IRQ logic output goes active low. The flag bits in the status
register are set irrespective of the state of the enable bits.
To determine the source of the interrupt, the system master
(MCU) should perform a read from the status register with
reset (RSTSTATUS[15:0]). This is achieved by carrying out a
read from Address 0x0C. The IRQ output goes logic high on
completion of the interrupt status register read command—see
the section. When carrying out a read with
reset, the ADE7753 is designed to ensure that no interrupt
events are missed. If an interrupt event occurs just as the status
register is being read, the event is not lost and the
Interrupt Timing

output is guaranteed to go high for the duration of the interrupt
status register data transfer before going logic low again to
indicate the pending interrupt. See the next section for a more

Interrupt Timing
The ADE7753 Serial Interface section should be reviewed first
before reviewing the interrupt timing. As previously described,
when the IRQ output goes low, the MCU ISR must read the
interrupt status register to determine the source of the interrupt.
When reading the 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 15-bit transfer is shifted
out (interrupt status register contents)—see . If an
interrupt is pending at this time, the
Figure 45
IRQ output goes low again.
If no interrupt is pending, the IRQ output stays high.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The ADE7753 also includes an on-chip temperature sensor. A
temperature measurement can be made by setting Bit 5 in the
mode register. When Bit 5 is set logic high in the mode register,
the ADE7753 initiates a temperature measurement on the next
zero crossing. When the zero crossing on Channel 2 is detected,
the voltage output from the temperature sensing circuit is
connected to ADC1 (Channel 1) for digitizing. The resulting
code is processed and placed in the temperature register
(TEMP[7:0]) approximately 26 μs later (96/CLKIN seconds). If
enabled in the interrupt enable register (Bit 5), the IRQ output
goes active low when the temperature conversion is finished.
The contents of the temperature register are signed (twos
complement) with a resolution of approximately 1.5 LSB/°C.
The temperature register produces a code of 0x00 when the
ambient temperature is approximately −25°C. The temperature
measurement is uncalibrated in the ADE7753 and has an offset
tolerance as high as ±25°C.
ADE7753 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION
The analog-to-digital conversion in the ADE7753 is carried out
using two second-order Σ-Δ ADCs. For simplicity, the block
diagram in Figure 47 shows a first-order Σ-Δ ADC. The converter
is made up of the Σ-Δ modulator and the digital low-pass filter.

-∆ ADC
A Σ-Δ modulator converts the input signal into a continuous
serial stream of 1s and 0s at a rate determined by the sampling
clock. In the ADE7753, the sampling clock is equal to CLKIN/4.
The 1-bit DAC in the feedback loop is driven by the serial data
stream. The DAC output is subtracted from the input signal. If
the loop gain is high enough, the average value of the DAC out-
put (and therefore the bit stream) can approach that of the input
signal level. For any given input value in a single sampling interval,
the data from the 1-bit ADC is virtually meaningless. Only when
a large number of samples are averaged is a meaningful result
obtained. This averaging is carried out in the second part of the
ADC, the digital low-pass filter. By averaging a large number of
bits from the modulator, the low-pass filter can produce 24-bit
data-words that are proportional to the input signal level.
The Σ-Δ converter uses two techniques to achieve high resolution
from what is essentially a 1-bit conversion technique. The first
is oversampling. Oversampling means that the signal is sampled
at a rate (frequency), which is many times higher than the
bandwidth of interest. For example, the sampling rate in the
ADE7753 is CLKIN/4 (894 kHz) and the band of interest is
40 Hz to 2 kHz. Oversampling has the effect of spreading the
quantization noise (noise due to sampling) over a wider
bandwidth. With the noise spread more thinly over a wider
bandwidth, the quantization noise in the band of interest is
lowered—see Figure 48. However, oversampling alone is not
efficient enough to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in
the band of interest. For example, an oversampling ratio of 4 is
required just to increase the SNR by only 6 dB (1 bit). To keep
the oversampling ratio at a reasonable level, it is possible to
shape the quantization noise so that the majority of the noise
lies at the higher frequencies. In the Σ-Δ modulator, the noise is
shaped by the integrator, which has a high-pass-type response
for the quantization noise. The result is that most of the noise is
at the higher frequencies where it can be removed by the digital
low-pass filter. This noise shaping is shown in Figure 48.

Antialias Filter ADE7753 Reference Circuit
Figure 50 shows a simplified version of the reference output
circuitry. The nominal reference voltage at the REFIN/OUT pin is
2.42 V. This is the reference voltage used for the ADCs in the
ADE7753. However, Channel 1 has three input range selections
that are selected by dividing down the reference value used for
the ADC in Channel 1. The reference value used for Channel 1
is divided down to ½ and ¼ of the nominal value by using an
internal resistor divider, as shown in Figure 50.
Figure 47 also shows an analog low-pass filter (RC) on the input
to the modulator. This filter is present to prevent aliasing.
Aliasing is an artifact of all sampled systems. Aliasing means
that frequency components in the input signal to the ADC,
which are higher than half the sampling rate of the ADC,
appear in the sampled signal at a frequency below half the
sampling rate. Figure 49 illustrates the effect. Frequency
components (arrows shown in black) above half the sampling
frequency (also know as the Nyquist frequency, i.e., 447 kHz)
are imaged or folded back down below 447 kHz. This happens
with all ADCs regardless of the architecture. In the example
shown, only frequencies near the sampling frequency, i.e.,
894 kHz, move into the band of interest for metering, i.e., 40 Hz
to 2 kHz. This allows the use of a very simple LPF (low-pass
filter) to attenuate high frequency (near 900 kHz) noise, and
prevents distortion in the band of interest. For conventional
current sensors, a simple RC filter (single-pole LPF) with a
corner frequency of 10 kHz produces an attenuation of
approximately 40 dB at 894 kHz—see Figure 49. The 20 dB per
decade attenuation is usually sufficient to eliminate the effects
of aliasing for conventional current sensors. However, for a
di/dt sensor such as a Rogowski coil, the sensor has a 20 dB per
decade gain. This neutralizes the –20 dB per decade attenuation
produced by one simple LPF. Therefore, when using a di/dt
sensor, care should be taken to offset the 20 dB per decade gain.
One simple approach is to cascade two RC filters to produce the
–40 dB per decade attenuation needed.

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, not 2.42 V,
which has the effect of increasing the nominal analog input

The voltage of the ADE7753 reference drifts slightly with
temperature—see the ADE7753 Specifications for the temperature
coefficient specification (in ppm/°C). The value of the temperature
drift varies from part to part. Since the reference is used for the
ADCs in both Channels 1 and 2, any x% drift in the reference
results in 2×% deviation of the meter accuracy. The reference
drift resulting from temperature changes is usually very small
and it is typically much smaller than the drift of other components
on a meter. However, if guaranteed temperature performance
is needed, one needs to use an external voltage reference.
Alternatively, the meter can be calibrated at multiple temperatures.
Real-time compensation can be achieved easily by using the
on-chip temperature sensor.

Figure 51 shows the ADC and signal processing chain for
Channel 1. In waveform sampling mode, the ADC outputs a
signed twos complement 24-bit data-word at a maximum of
27.9 kSPS (CLKIN/128). With the specified full-scale analog
input signal of 0.5 V (or 0.25 V or 0.125 V—see the Analog
Inputs section) the ADC produces an output code that is
approximately between 0x2851EC (+2,642,412d) and
0xD7AE14 (–2,642,412d)—see Figure 51.
Therefore with a full-scale signal on the input of 0.5 V and an
internal reference of 2.42 V, the ADC output code is nominally
165,151 or 2851Fh. The maximum code from the ADC is
±262,144; this is equivalent to an input signal level of ±0.794 V.
However, for specified performance, it is recommended that the
full-scale input signal level of 0.5 V not be exceeded.

The waveform samples can also be routed to the waveform
register (MODE[14:13] = 1,0) to be read by the system master
(MCU). In waveform sampling mode, the WSMP bit (Bit 3) in
the interrupt enable register must also be set to Logic 1. The
active, apparent power, and energy calculation remain
uninterrupted during waveform sampling.
When in waveform sampling mode, one of four output sample
rates can be chosen by using Bits 11 and 12 of the mode register
(WAVSEL1,0). The output sample rate can be 27.9 kSPS, 14 kSPS,
7 kSPS, or 3.5 kSPS—see the Mode Register (0x09) section. The
interrupt request output, IRQ, signals a new sample availability
by going active low. The timing is shown in . The 24-bit
waveform samples are transferred from the ADE7753 one byte
(eight bits) at a time, with the most significant byte shifted out

Figure 53. Channel 1 RMS Signal Processing
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 Channel 1 ADC section. The equivalent
rms value of a full-scale ac signal are 1,868,467d (0x1C82B3).
The current rms measurement provided in the ADE7753 is
accurate to within 0.5% for signal input between full scale and
full scale/100. Table 7 shows the settling time for the IRMS
measurement, which is the time it takes for the rms register to
reflect the value at the input to the current channel. The
conversion from the register value to amps must be done
externally in the microprocessor using an amps/LSB constant. To
minimize noise, synchronize the reading of the rms register
with the zero crossing of the voltage input and take the average
of a number of readings.

Channel 1 RMS Offset Compensation
The ADE7753 incorporates a Channel 1 rms offset compensa-
tion register (IRMSOS). This is a 12-bit signed register that can
be used to remove offset in the Channel 1 rms calculation. An
offset could exist in the rms calculation due to input noises that
are integrated in the dc component of V2(t). The offset calibration
allows the content of the IRMS register to match the theoretical
value even when the Channel 1 input is low.
One LSB of the Channel 1 rms offset is equivalent to 32,768 LSB
of the square of the Channel 1 rms register. Assuming that the
maximum value from the Channel 1 rms calculation is
1,868,467d with full-scale ac inputs, then 1 LSB of the Channel 1
rms offset represents 0.46% of measurement error at –60 dB
down of full scale.

where IRMS0 is the rms measurement without offset correction.
To measure the offset of the rms measurement, two data points
are needed from non-zero input values, for example, the base
current, Ib, and Imax/100. The offset can be calculated from these
measurements.
CHANNEL 2 ADC
Channel 2 Sampling
In Channel 2 waveform sampling mode (MODE[14:13] = 1,1
and WSMP = 1), the ADC output code scaling for Channel 2 is
not the same as Channel 1. The Channel 2 waveform sample is a
16-bit word and sign extended to 24 bits. For normal operation,
the differential voltage signal between V2P and V2N should not
exceed 0.5 V. With maximum voltage input (±0.5 V at PGA gain
of 1), the output from the ADC swings between 0x2852 and
0xD7AE (±10,322d). However, before being passed to the wave-
form register, the ADC output is passed through a single-pole,
low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 140 Hz. The plots in
Figure 54 show the magnitude and phase response of this filter.

Figure 56. Channel 2 RMS Signal Processing
Channel 2 has only one analog input range (0.5 V differential).
Like Channel 1, Channel 2 has a PGA with gain selections of 1,
2, 4, 8, and 16. For energy measurement, the output of the ADC
is passed directly to the multiplier and is not filtered. An HPF is
not required to remove any dc offset since it is only required to
remove the offset from one channel to eliminate errors due to
offsets in the power calculation. When in waveform sampling
mode, one of four output sample rates can be chosen by using
Bits 11 and 12 of the mode register. The available output sample
rates are 27.9 kSPS, 14 kSPS, 7 kSPS, or 3.5 kSPS—see the Mode
Register (0x09) section. The interrupt request output IRQ
signals that a sample is available by going active low. The timing
is the same as that for Channel 1, as shown in . Figure 52
Channel 2 RMS Calculation
Figure 56 shows the details of the signal processing chain for the
rms estimation on Channel 2. This Channel 2 rms estimation is
done in the ADE7753 using the mean absolute value calculation, as
shown in Figure 56. The Channel 2 rms value is processed from
the samples used in the Channel 2 waveform sampling mode.
The rms value is slightly attenuated because of LPF1. Channel 2
rms value is stored in the unsigned 24-bit VRMS register. The
update rate of the Channel 2 rms measurement is CLKIN/4.
With the specified full-scale ac analog input signal of 0.5 V, the
output from the LPF1 swings between 0x2518 and 0xDAE8 at
60 Hz—see the Channel 2 ADC section. The equivalent rms
value of this full-scale ac signal is approximately 1,561,400
(0x17D338) in the VRMS register. The voltage rms measure-
ment provided in the ADE7753 is accurate to within ±0.5% for
signal input between full scale and full scale/20. Table 8 shows
the settling time for the VRMS measurement, which is the time
it takes for the rms register to reflect the value at the input to
the voltage channel. The conversion from the register value to
volts must be done externally in the microprocessor using a
volts/LSB constant. Since the low-pass filtering used for
calculating the rms value is imperfect, there is some ripple noise
from 2ω term present in the rms measurement. To minimize
the noise effect in the reading, synchronize the rms reading
with the zero crossings of the voltage input.
Table 8.

Channel 2 RMS Offset Compensation
The ADE7753 incorporates a Channel 2 rms offset compensation
register (VRMSOS). This is a 12-bit signed register that can be
used to remove offset in the Channel 2 rms calculation. An
offset could exist in the rms calculation due to input noises and
dc offset in the input samples. The offset calibration allows the
contents of the VRMS register to be maintained at 0 when no
voltage is applied. One LSB of the Channel 2 rms offset is
equivalent to one LSB of the rms register. Assuming that the
maximum value from the Channel 2 rms calculation is
1,561,400d with full-scale ac inputs, then one LSB of the
Channel 2 rms offset represents 0.064% of measurement
error at –60 dB down of full scale.
VRMS = VRMS0 + VRMSOS (6)
where VRMS0 is the rms measurement without offset correction.
The voltage rms offset compensation should be done by testing
the rms results at two non-zero input levels. One measurement
can be done close to full scale and the other at approximately
full scale/10. The voltage offset compensation can be derived
ADE7753
Rev. C | Page 27 of 60
from these measurements. If the voltage rms offset register does
not have enough range, the CH2OS register can also be used.
PHASE COMPENSATION
When the HPF is disabled, the phase error between Channel 1
and Channel 2 is 0 from dc to 3.5 kHz. When HPF is enabled,
Channel 1 has the phase response illustrated in Figure 58 and
Figure 59. Also shown in Figure 60 is the magnitude response of
the filter. As can be seen from the plots, the phase response is
almost 0 from 45 Hz to 1 kHz. This is all that is required in
typical energy measurement applications. However, despite
being internally phase compensated, the ADE7753 must work
with transducers, which could have inherent phase errors. For
example, a phase error of 0.1° to 0.3° is not uncommon for a
current transformer (CT). 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
ADE7753 provides a means of digitally calibrating these small
phase errors. The ADE7753 allows a small time delay or time
advance to be introduced into the signal processing chain to
compensate for small phase errors. Because the compensation is
in time, this technique should be used only for small phase
errors in the range of 0.1° to 0.5°. Correcting large phase errors
using a time shift technique can introduce significant phase
errors at higher harmonics.
The phase calibration register (PHCAL[5:0]) is a twos comple-
ment signed single-byte register that has values ranging from
0x21 (–31d) to 0x1F (31d).
The register is centered at 0x0D, so that writing 0x0D to the
register gives 0 delay. By changing the PHCAL register, the time
delay in the Channel 2 signal path can change from –102.12 μs
to +39.96 μs (CLKIN = 3.579545 MHz). One LSB is equivalent
to 2.22 μs (CLKIN/8) time delay or advance. A line frequency of
60 Hz gives a phase resolution of 0.048° at the fundamental (i.e.,
360° × 2.22 μs × 60 Hz). Figure 57 illustrates how the phase
compensation is used to remove a 0.1° phase lead in Channel 1
due to the external transducer. To cancel the lead (0.1°) in
Channel 1, a phase lead must also be introduced into Channel 2.
The resolution of the phase adjustment allows the introduction
of a phase lead in increment of 0.048°. The phase lead is achieved
by introducing a time advance into Channel 2. A time advance
of 4.48 μs is made by writing −2 (0x0B) to the time delay block,
thus reducing the amount of time delay by 4.48 μs, or equiva-
lently, a phase lead of approximately 0.1° at line frequency of 60 Hz.
0x0B represents –2 because the register is centered with 0 at 0x0D.

ACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
Power is defined as the rate of energy flow from source to load.
It is defined as the product of the voltage and current wave-
forms. The resulting waveform is called the instantaneous
power signal and is equal to the rate of energy flow at every
instant of time. The unit of power is the watt or joules/sec.
Equation 9 gives an expression for the instantaneous power
signal in an ac system.
v(t) = )sin(2 tV ω× (7)

where:
V is the rms voltage.
I is the rms current.

where:
T is the line cycle period.
P is referred to as the active or real power.
Note that the active power is equal to the dc component of the
instantaneous power signal p(t) in Equation 8, i.e., VI. This is
the relationship used to calculate active power in the ADE7753.
The instantaneous power signal p(t) is generated by multiplying
the current and voltage signals. The dc component of the
instantaneous power signal is then extracted by LPF2 (low-pass
filter) to obtain the active power information. This process is
illustrated in Figure 61.

Figure 61. Active Power Calculation
Since LPF2 does not have an ideal “brick wall” frequency
response—see Figure 62, 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 to calculate energy—see the
Energy Calculation section.

Figure 63. ADE7753 Active Energy Calculation
Figure 63 shows the signal processing chain for the active power
calculation in the ADE7753. As explained, the active power is
calculated by low-pass filtering the instantaneous power signal.
Note that when reading the waveform samples from the output
of LPF2, the gain of the active energy can be adjusted by using
the multiplier and watt gain register (WGAIN[11:0]). The gain
is adjusted by writing a twos complement 12-bit word to the
watt gain register. Equation 11 shows how the gain adjustment
is related to the contents of the watt gain register:

0.5. Similarly, 0x800 = –2048d (signed twos complement) and
power output is scaled by –50%. Each LSB scales the power output
by 0.0244%. Figure 64 shows the maximum code (in hex) output
range for the active power signal (LPF2). Note that the output
range changes depending on the contents of the watt gain register.
The minimum output range is given when the watt gain register

Figure 65. Active Power Signal Processing
The ADE7753 achieves the integration of the active power signal by
continuously accumulating the active power signal in an internal
nonreadable 49-bit energy register. The active energy register
(AENERGY[23:0]) represents the upper 24 bits of this internal
register. This discrete time accumulation or summation is
equivalent to integration in continuous time. Equation 14
expresses the relationship.

where:
n is the discrete time sample number.
T is the sample period.
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation
register in the ADE7753 is 1.1μs (4/CLKIN). As well as
calculating the energy, this integration removes any sinusoidal
components that might be in the active power signal. Figure 65
shows this discrete time integration or accumulation. The active
power signal in the waveform register is continuously added to
the internal active energy register. This addition is a signed
addition; therefore negative energy is subtracted from the active
energy contents. The exception to this is when POAM is
selected in the MODE[15:0] register. In this case, only positive
energy contributes to the active energy accumulation—see the
Positive-Only Accumulation Mode section.
The output of the multiplier is divided by WDIV. If the value in
the WDIV register is equal to 0, then the internal active energy
register is divided by 1. WDIV is an 8-bit unsigned register.
After dividing by WDIV, the active energy is accumulated in a
49-bit internal energy accumulation register. The upper 24 bits
of this register are accessible through a read to the active energy
register (AENERGY[23:0]). A read to the RAENERGY register
returns the content of the AENERGY register and the upper 24
bits of the internal register are cleared. As shown in Figure 65, the
active power signal is accumulated in an internal 49-bit signed
register. The active power signal can be read from the waveform
register by setting MODE[14:13] = 0,0 and setting the WSMP
bit (Bit 3) in the interrupt enable register to 1. Like the Channel 1
and Channel 2 waveform sampling modes, the waveform date is
available at sample rates of 27.9 kSPS, 14 kSPS, 7 kSPS, or
3.5 kSPS—see Figure 52.
Figure 66 shows this energy accumulation for full-scale signals
(sinusoidal) on the analog inputs. The three curves displayed
illustrate the minimum period of time it takes the energy register
to roll over when the active power gain register contents are
0x7FF, 0x000, and 0x800. The watt gain register is used to carry
out power calibration in the ADE7753. As shown, the fastest
integration time occurs when the watt gain register is set to
maximum full scale, i.e., 0x7FF.

Note that the energy register contents rolls over to full-scale
negative (0x800000) and continues to increase in value when
the power or energy flow is positive—see Figure 66. Conversely,
if the power is negative, the energy register underflows to full-
scale positive (0x7FFFFF) and continues to decrease in value.
By using the interrupt enable register, the ADE7753 can be
configured to issue an interrupt (IRQ) when the active energy
register is greater than half-full (positive or negative) or when
an overflow or underflow occurs.
Integration Time under Steady Load
As mentioned in the last section, the discrete time sample
period (T) for the accumulation register is 1.1 μs (4/CLKIN).
With full-scale sinusoidal signals on the analog inputs and the
WGAIN register set to 0x000, the average word value from each
LPF2 is 0xCCCCD—see Figure 61. The maximum positive

under these conditions with WDIV = 0 is calculated as follows:

When WDIV is set to a value different from 0, the integration

WDIVTimeTime WDIV ×= =0 (16)
POWER OFFSET CALIBRATION
The ADE7753 also incorporates an active power offset register
(APOS[15:0]). This is a signed twos complement 16-bit register
that can be used to remove offsets in the active power calculation—
see Figure 65. An offset could exist in the power calculation due
to crosstalk between channels on the PCB or in the IC itself.
The offset calibration allows the contents of the active power
register to be maintained at 0 when no power is being consumed.
The 256 LSBs (APOS = 0x0100) written to the active power
offset register are equivalent to 1 LSB in the waveform sample
register. Assuming the average value, output from LPF2 is
0xCCCCD (838,861d) when inputs on Channels 1 and 2 are
both at full scale. At −60 dB down on Channel 1 (1/1000 of the
Channel 1 full-scale input), the average word value output from
LPF2 is 838.861 (838,861/1,000). One LSB in the LPF2 output
has a measurement error of 1/838.861 × 100% = 0.119% of the
average value. The active power offset register has a resolution
equal to 1/256 LSB of the waveform register, therefore the power
offset correction resolution is 0.00047%/LSB (0.119%/256) at –60 dB.
ENERGY-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERSION
ADE7753 also provides energy-to-frequency conversion for
calibration purposes. After initial calibration at manufacturing,
the manufacturer or end customer often verify the energy meter
calibration. One convenient way to verify the meter calibration
is for the manufacturer to provide an output frequency, which is
proportional to the energy or active power under steady load
conditions. This output frequency can provide a simple, single-
wire, optically isolated interface to external calibration
equipment. Figure 67 illustrates the energy-to-frequency
conversion in the ADE7753.

Figure 67. ADE7753 Energy-to-Frequency Conversion
A digital-to-frequency converter (DFC) is used to generate the
CF pulsed output. The DFC generates a pulse each time 1 LSB
in the active energy register is accumulated. An output pulse is
generated when (CFDEN + 1)/(CFNUM + 1) number of pulses
are generated at the DFC output. Under steady load conditions,
the output frequency is proportional to the active power.
The maximum output frequency, with ac input signals at full scale
and CFNUM = 0x00 and CFDEN = 0x00, is approximately 23 kHz.
The ADE7753 incorporates two registers, CFNUM[11:0] and
CFDEN[11:0], to set the CF frequency. These are unsigned
12-bit registers, which can be used to adjust the CF frequency to
a wide range of values. These frequency-scaling registers are
12-bit registers, which can scale the output frequency by 1/212 to
1 with a step of 1/212.
If the value 0 is written to any of these registers, the value 1
would be applied to the register. The ratio (CFNUM + 1)/
(CFDEN + 1) should be smaller than 1 to ensure proper
operation. If the ratio of the registers (CFNUM + 1)/(CFDEN + 1)
is greater than 1, the register values would be adjusted to a ratio
(CFNUM + 1)/(CFDEN + 1) of 1. For example, if the output
frequency is 1.562 kHz while the contents of CFDEN are 0
(0x000), then the output frequency can be set to 6.1 Hz by
writing 0xFF to the CFDEN register.
When CFNUM and CFDEN are both set to one, the CF pulse
width is fixed at 16 CLKIN/4 clock cycles, approximately 18 μs
with a CLKIN of 3.579545 MHz. If the CF pulse output is
longer than 180 ms for an active energy frequency of less than
5.56 Hz, the pulse width is fixed at 90 ms. Otherwise, the pulse
width is 50% of the duty cycle.
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 9 from the
Active Power Calculation section gives an expression for the
instantaneous power signal. This is filtered by LPF2, which has
a magnitude response given by Equation 17.

From Equation 19 it can be seen that there is a small ripple in
the energy calculation due to a sin(2 ωt) component. This is
shown graphically in Figure 68. The active energy calculation is
shown by the dashed straight line and is equal to V × I × t. The
sinusoidal ripple in the active energy calculation is also shown.
Since the average value of a sinusoid is 0, this ripple does not
contribute to the energy calculation over time. However, the
ripple can be observed in the frequency output, especially at
higher output frequencies. The ripple gets larger as a percentage
of the frequency at larger loads and higher output frequencies.
The reason is simply that at higher output frequencies the
integration or averaging time in the energy-to-frequency
conversion process is shorter. As a consequence, some of the
sinusoidal ripple is observable in the frequency output. Choosing
a lower output frequency at CF for calibration can significantly
reduce the ripple. Also, averaging the output frequency by using
a longer gate time for the counter achieves the same results.

LINE CYCLE ENERGY ACCUMULATION MODE
In line cycle energy accumulation mode, the energy accumula-
tion of the ADE7753 can be synchronized to the Channel 2 zero
crossing so that active energy can be accumulated over an
integral number of half line cycles. The advantage of summing
the active energy over an integer number of line cycles is that
the sinusoidal component in the active energy is reduced to 0.
This eliminates any ripple in the energy calculation. Energy is
calculated more accurately and in a shorter time because the
integration period can be shortened. By using the line cycle
energy accumulation mode, the energy calibration can be
greatly simplified, and the time required to calibrate the meter
can be significantly reduced. The ADE7753 is placed in line
cycle energy accumulation mode by setting Bit 7 (CYCMODE)
in the mode register. In line cycle energy accumulation mode,
the ADE7753 accumulates the active power signal in the
LAENERGY register (Address 0x04) for an integral number of
line cycles, as shown in Figure 69. The number of half line
cycles is specified in the LINECYC register (Address 0x1C). The
ADE7753 can accumulate active power for up to 65,535 half
line cycles. Because the active power is integrated on an integral
number of line cycles, at the end of a line cycle energy accumu-
lation cycle the CYCEND flag in the interrupt status register is
set (Bit 2). If the CYCEND enable bit in the interrupt enable
register is enabled, the IRQ output also goes active low. Thus the
IRQ line can also be used to signal the completion of the line
cycle energy accumulation. Another calibration cycle can start
as long as the CYCMODE bit in the mode register is set.

Note that in this mode, the 16-bit LINECYC register can hold a
maximum value of 65,535. In other words, the line energy
accumulation mode can be used to accumulate active energy for
a maximum duration over 65,535 half line cycles. At 60 Hz line
frequency, it translates to a total duration of 65,535/120 Hz =
546 seconds.
POSITIVE-ONLY ACCUMULATION MODE
In positive-only accumulation mode, the energy accumulation
is done only for positive power, ignoring any occurrence of
negative power above or below the no-load threshold, as shown
in Figure 70. The CF pulse also reflects this accumulation
method when in this mode. The ADE7753 is placed in positive-
only accumulation mode by setting the MSB of the mode
register (MODE[15]). The default setting for this mode is off.
Transitions in the direction of power flow, going from negative
to positive or positive to negative, set the IRQ pin to active low
if the interrupt enable register is enabled. The interrupt status
registers, PPOS and PNEG, show which transition has
occurred—see the ADE7753 register descriptions in . Table 12

NO-LOAD THRESHOLD
The ADE7753 includes a no-load threshold feature on the
active energy that eliminates any creep effects in the meter. The
ADE7753 accomplishes this by not accumulating energy if the
multiplier output is below the no-load threshold. This threshold
is 0.001% of the full-scale output frequency of the multiplier.
Compare this value to the IEC1036 specification, which states
that the meter must start up with a load equal to or less than
0.4% Ib. This standard translates to .0167% of the full-scale
output frequency of the multiplier.
REACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
Reactive power is defined as the product of the voltage and
current waveforms when one of these signals is phase-shifted by

power signal. Equation 25 gives an expression for the instanta-
neous reactive power signal in an ac system when the phase of
the current channel is shifted by +90°.

The features of the line reactive energy accumulation are the
same as the line active energy accumulation. The number of
half line cycles is specified in the LINECYC register. LINECYC
is an unsigned 16-bit register. The ADE7753 can accumulate
reactive power for up to 65535 combined half cycles. At the end
of an energy calibration cycle, the CYCEND flag in the interrupt
status register is set. If the CYCEND mask bit in the interrupt
mask register is enabled, the IRQ output also goes active low.
Thus the IRQ line can also be used to signal the end of a cali-
bration. The ADE7753 accumulates the reactive power signal in
the LVARENERGY register for an integer number of half cycles,
as shown in . Figure 71
SIGN OF REACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
Note that the average reactive power is a signed calculation. The
phase shift filter has –90° phase shift when the integrator is
enabled, and +90° phase shift when the integrator is disabled.
Tabl e 9 summarizes the relationship between the phase differ-
ence between the voltage and the current and the sign of the
resulting VAR calculation.

APPARENT POWER CALCULATION
The apparent power is defined as the maximum power that can
be delivered to a load. Vrms and Irms are the effective voltage and
current delivered to the load; the apparent power (AP) is defined
as Vrms × Irms. The angle θ between the active power and the
apparent power generally represents the phase shift due to non-
resistive loads. For single-phase applications, θ represents the
angle between the voltage and the current signals—see Figure 72.

The gain of the apparent energy can be adjusted by using the

power output is scaled by –50%. Each LSB represents 0.0244%

current and voltage rms values obtained in the rms blocks of the
ADE7753. Figure 74 shows the maximum code (hexadecimal)

Calculation sections. The Channel 1 and Channel 2 rms values
are then multiplied together in the apparent power signal
processing. Since no additional offsets are created in the
multiplication of the rms values, there is no specific offset

The ADE7753 achieves the integration of the apparent power
signal by continuously accumulating the apparent power signal
in an internal 49-bit register. The apparent energy register
(VAENERGY[23:0]) represents the upper 24 bits of this internal
register. This discrete time accumulation or summation is
equivalent to integration in continuous time. Equation 31

The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation
register in the ADE7753 is 1.1 μs (4/CLKIN).
Figure 75 shows this discrete time integration or accumulation.
The apparent power signal is continuously added to the internal
register. This addition is a signed addition even if the apparent
energy remains theoretically always positive.
The 49 bits of the internal register are divided by VADIV. If the
value in the VADIV register is 0, then the internal active energy
register is divided by 1. VADIV is an 8-bit unsigned register.
The upper 24 bits are then written in the 24-bit apparent energy
register (VAENERGY[23:0]). RVAENERGY register (24 bits
long) is provided to read the apparent energy. This register is
reset to 0 after a read operation.
Figure 76 shows this apparent energy accumulation for full-scale
signals (sinusoidal) on the analog inputs. The three curves
displayed illustrate the minimum time it takes the energy register
to roll over when the VAGAIN registers content is equal to 0x7FF,
0x000, and 0x800. The VAGAIN register is used to carry out an
apparent power calibration in the ADE7753. As shown, the fastest
integration time occurs when the VAGAIN register is set to
maximum full scale, i.e., 0x7FF.

Note that the apparent energy register is unsigned—see Figure 76.
By using the interrupt enable register, the ADE7753 can be con-
figured to issue an interrupt (IRQ) when the apparent energy
register is more than half full or when an overflow occurs. The
half full interrupt for the unsigned apparent energy register is
based on 24 bits as opposed to 23 bits for the signed active energy
register.
Integration Times under Steady Load
As mentioned in the last section, the discrete time sample
period (T) for the accumulation register is 1.1 μs (4/CLKIN).
With full-scale sinusoidal signals on the analog inputs and the
VAGAIN register set to 0x000, the average word value from
apparent power stage is 0xAD055—see the Apparent Power
Calculation section. The maximum value that can be stored in
the apparent energy register before it overflows is 224 or
0xFF,FFFF. The average word value is added to the internal
register, which can store 248 or 0xFFFF,FFFF,FFFF before it

with VADIV = 0 is calculated as follows:
LINE APPARENT ENERGY ACCUMULATION
Time = 055xD0
FFFFFFFF,xFFFF,0 × 1.2 μs = 888 s = 12.52 min(32)
When VADIV is set to a value different from 0, the integration
time varies, as shown in Equation 33.
Time = TimeWDIV = 0 × VADIV (33)
The ADE7753 is designed with a special apparent energy
accumulation mode, which simplifies the calibration process.
By using the on-chip zero-crossing detection, the ADE7753
accumulates the apparent power signal in the LVAENERGY
register for an integral number of half cycles, as shown in
Figure 77. The line apparent energy accumulation mode is
always active.
The number of half line cycles is specified in the LINECYC
register, which is an unsigned 16-bit register. The ADE7753 can
accumulate apparent power for up to 65535 combined half
cycles. Because the apparent power is integrated on the same
integral number of line cycles as the line active energy register,
these two values can be compared easily. The active energy and
the apparent energy are calculated more accurately because of
this precise timing control and provide all the information
needed for reactive power and power factor calculation. At the
end of an energy calibration cycle, the CYCEND flag in the
interrupt status register is set. If the CYCEND mask bit in the
interrupt mask register is enabled, the IRQ output also goes
active low. Thus the IRQ line can also be used to signal the end
of a calibration.
The line apparent energy accumulation uses the same signal
path as the apparent energy accumulation. The LSB size of these
two registers is equivalent.

CALIBRATING AN ENERGY METER BASED ON THE
ADE7753
The ADE7753 provides gain and offset compensation for active
and apparent energy calibration. Its phase compensation corrects
phase error in active, apparent and reactive energy. If a shunt is
used, offset and phase calibration may not be required. A
reference meter or an accurate source can be used to calibrate
the ADE7753.
When using a reference meter, the ADE7753 calibration output
frequency, CF, is adjusted to match the frequency output of the
reference meter. A pulse output is only provided for the active
energy measurement in the ADE7753. If it is desired to use a
reference meter for calibrating the VA and VAR, then additional
code would have to be written in a microprocessor to produce a
pulsed output for these quantities. Otherwise, VA and VAR
calibration require an accurate source.
The ADE7753 provides a line cycle accumulation mode for
calibration using an accurate source. In this method, the active
energy accumulation rate is adjusted to produce a desired CF
frequency. The benefit of using this mode is that the effect of
the ripple noise in the active energy is eliminated. Up to 65535
half line cycles can be accumulated, thus providing a stable
energy value to average. The accumulation time is calculated
from the line cycle period, measured by the ADE7753 in the
PERIOD register, and the number of half line cycles in the
accumulation, fixed by the LINECYC register.
Current and voltage rms offset calibration removes any apparent
energy offset. A gain calibration is also provided for apparent
energy. Figure 79 shows an optimized calibration flow for active
energy, rms, and apparent energy.
Active and apparent energy gain calibrations can take place
concurrently, with a read of the accumulated apparent energy
register following that of the accumulated active energy register.
Figure 78 shows the calibration flow for the active energy
portion of the ADE7753.

Watt Gain
The first step of calibrating the gain is to define the line voltage,
base current and the maximum current for the meter. A meter
constant needs to be determined for CF, such as 3200 imp/kWh
or 3.2 imp/Wh. Note that the line voltage and the maximum
current scale to half of their respective analog input ranges in
this example.

In a meter design, WDIV, CFNUM, and CFDEN should be kept

maximum resolution. The WDIV register is not included in the
CF signal chain so it does not affect the frequency pulse output.
The WGAIN register is used to finely calibrate each meter. Cali-
brating the WGAIN register changes both CF and AENERGY for
a given load condition.

When calibrating with a reference meter, WGAIN is adjusted
until CF matches the reference meter pulse output. If an accurate
source is used to calibrate, WGAIN is modified until the active
energy accumulation rate yields the expected CF pulse rate.
The steps of designing and calibrating the active energy portion
of a meter with either a reference meter or an accurate source
are outlined in the following examples. The specifications for
this example are
Meter Constant: MeterConstant(imp/Wh)
= 3.2
Base Current: Ib = 10 A
Maximum Current: IMAX = 60 A
Line Voltage: Vnominal = 220 V
Line Frequency: fl = 50 Hz
The first step in calibration with either a reference meter or an
accurate source is to calculate the CF denominator, CFDEN.
This is done by comparing the expected CF pulse output to the
nominal CF output with the default CFDEN = 0x3F and
CFNUM = 0x3F and when the base current is applied.
The expected CF output for this meter with the base current
applied is 1.9556 Hz using Equation 34.
CFIB(expected)(Hz) =

Alternatively, CFexpected can be measured from a reference meter
pulse output if available.
CFexpected(Hz) = CFref (42)
The maximum CF frequency measured without any frequency
division and with ac inputs at full scale is 23 kHz. For this
example, the nominal CF with the test current, Ib, applied is
958 Hz. In this example the line voltage and maximum current
scale half of their respective analog input ranges. The line
voltage and maximum current should not be fixed at the
maximum analog inputs to account for occurrences such as
spikes on the line.

The nominal CF on a sample set of meters should be measured
using the default CFDEN, CFNUM, and WDIV to ensure that
the best CFDEN is chosen for the design.
With the CFNUM register set to 0, CFDEN is calculated to be
489 for the example meter:

This value for CFDEN should be loaded into each meter before

to finely calibrate the CF output. The following sections explain
how to calibrate a meter based on ADE7753 when using a
reference meter or an accurate source.
Calibrating Watt Gain Using a Reference Meter Example
The CFDEN and CFNUM values for the design should be
written to their respective registers before beginning the
calibration steps shown in Figure 80. When using a reference
meter, the %ERROR in CF is measured by comparing the CF
output of the ADE7753 meter with the pulse output of the
reference meter with the same test conditions applied to both
meters. Equation 45 defines the percent error with respect to
the pulse outputs of both meters (using the base current, Ib):

Calibrating Watt Gain Using an Accurate Source Example
The CFDEN value calculated using Equation 44 should be
written to the CFDEN register before beginning calibration and
zero should be written to the CFNUM register. First, the line
accumulation mode and the line accumulation interrupt should
be enabled. Next, the number of half line cycles for the energy
accumulation is written to the LINECYC register. This sets the
accumulation time. Reset the interrupt status register and wait
for the line cycle accumulation interrupt. The first line cycle
accumulation results may not have used the accumulation time
set by the LINECYC register and should be discarded. After
resetting the interrupt status register, the following line cycle
readings will be valid. When LINECYC half line cycles have
elapsed, the IRQ pin goes active low and the nominal LAENERGY
with the test current applied can be read. This LAENERGY
value is compared to the expected LAENERGY value to deter-
mine the WGAIN value. If apparent energy gain calibration is
performed at the same time, LVAENERGY can be read directly
after LAENERGY. Both registers should be read before the next
interrupt is issued on the IRQ pin. Refer to the
section for more details. details the steps
that calibrate the watt gain using an accurate source.

Watt Offset
Offset calibration allows outstanding performance over a wide
dynamic range, for example, 1000:1. To do this calibration two
measurements are needed at unity power factor, one at Ib and
the other at the lowest current to be corrected. Either
calibration frequency or line cycle accumulation measurements
can be used to determine the energy offset. Gain calibration
should be performed prior to offset calibration.
Offset calibration is performed by determining the active
energy error rate. Once the active energy error rate has been
determined, the value to write to the APOS register to correct
the offset is calculated.
APOS = − CLKIN
RateErrorAENERGY 35
2× (49)
The AENERGY registers update at a rate of CLKIN/4. The twos
complement APOS register provides a fine adjustment to the
active power calculation. It represents a fixed amount of power
offset to be adjusted every CLKIN/4. The 8 LSBs of the APOS
register are fractional such that one LSB of APOS represents
1/256 of the least significant bit of the internal active energy
register. Therefore, one LSB of the APOS register represents 2−33
of the AENERGY[23:0] active energy register.
The steps involved in determining the active energy error rate
for both line accumulation and reference meter calibration
options are shown in the following sections.

LINECYCIMIN is the number of half line cycles that energy is

More line cycles could be required at the minimum current to
minimize the effect of quantization error on the offset calibration.
For example, if a test current of 40 mA results in an active energy
accumulation of 113 after 2000 half line cycles, one LSB variation
in this reading represents an 0.8% error. This measurement
does not provide enough resolution to calibrate out a <1% offset
error. However, if the active energy is accumulated over 37,500
half line cycles, one LSB variation results in 0.05% error, reducing
the quantization error.

Phase Calibration
The PHCAL register is provided to remove small phase errors.
The ADE7753 compensates for phase error by inserting a small
time delay or advance on the voltage channel input. Phase leads
up to 1.84° and phase lags up to 0.72° at 50 Hz can be corrected.
The error is determined by measuring the active energy at IB
and two power factors, PF = 1 and PF =0.5 inductive.
Some CTs may introduce large phase errors that are beyond the
range of the phase calibration register. In this case, coarse phase
compensation has to be done externally with an analog filter.

The square of the rms value is extracted from v2(t) by a low-pass
filter. The square root of the output of this low-pass filter gives
the rms value. An offset correction is provided to cancel noise
and offset contributions from the input.
There is ripple noise from the 2ω term because the low-pass
filter does not completely attenuate the signal. This noise can be
minimized by synchronizing the rms register readings with the
zero crossing of the voltage signal. The IRQ output can be
configured to indicate the zero crossing of the voltage signal.
This flowchart demonstrates how VRMS and IRMS readings
are synchronized to the zero crossings of the voltage input.

VADIV is similar to the CFDEN for the watt hour calibration. It

To calibrate the offset, two VRMS measurements are required,

Apparent energy gain calibration should be performed before
rms offset correction to make most efficient use of the current
test points. Apparent energy gain and watt gain compensation
require testing at Ib while rms and watt offset correction require
a lower test current. Apparent energy gain calibration can be
done at the same time as the watt-hour gain calibration using
line cycle accumulation. In this case, LAENERGY and
LVA ENE RGY , the line cycle accumulation apparent energy
register, are both read following the line cycle accumulation
interrupt. Figure 87 shows a flowchart for calibrating active and

Reactive Energy
Reactive energy is only available in line accumulation mode in
the ADE7753. The accumulated reactive energy over LINECYC
number of half line cycles is stored in the LVARENERGY register.
In the ADE7753, a low-pass filter at 2 Hz on the current
channel is implemented for the reactive power calculation. This
provides the 90 degree phase shift needed to calculate the reactive
power. This filter introduces 1/f attenuation in the reactive
energy accumulated. Compensation for this attenuation can be
done externally in a microcontroller. The microcontroller can
use the LVARENERGY register in order to produce a pulse
output similar to the CF pulse for reactive energy.
To create a VAR pulse, an impulse/VARh constant must be
determined. The 1/f attenuation correction factor is determined
by comparing the nominal reactive energy accumulation rate to
the expected value. The attenuation correction factor is multi-
plied by the contents of the LVARENERGY register, with the
ADE7753 in line accumulation mode.
ADE7753

CLKIN FREQUENCY
In this data sheet, the characteristics of the ADE7753 are shown
when CLKIN frequency is equal to 3.579545 MHz. However, the
ADE7753 is designed to have the same accuracy at any CLKIN
frequency within the specified range. If the CLKIN frequency is
not 3.579545 MHz, various timing and filter characteristics need
to be redefined with the new CLKIN frequency. For example,
the cutoff frequencies of all digital filters such as LPF1, LPF2, or
HPF1, shift in proportion to the change in CLKIN frequency
according to the following equation:
MHz
FrequencyCLKIN

×= (78)
The change of CLKIN frequency does not affect the timing
characteristics of the serial interface because the data transfer is
synchronized with serial clock signal (SCLK). But one needs to
observe the read/write timing of the serial data transfer—see
the ADE7753 timing characteristics in Table 2. Table 11 lists
various timing changes that are affected by CLKIN frequency.

SUSPENDING ADE7753 FUNCTIONALITY
The analog and the digital circuit can be suspended separately.
The analog portion of the ADE7753 can be suspended by setting
the ASUSPEND bit (Bit 4) of the mode register to logic high—
see the Mode Register (0x9) section. In suspend mode, all wave-
form samples from the ADCs are set to 0. The digital circuitry
can be halted by stopping the CLKIN input and maintaining a
logic high or low on the CLKIN pin. The ADE7753 can be
reactivated by restoring the CLKIN input and setting the
ASUSPEND bit to logic low.
CHECKSUM REGISTER
The ADE7753 has a checksum register (CHECKSUM[5:0]) to
ensure the data bits received in the last serial read operation are
not corrupted. The 6-bit checksum register is reset before the
first bit (MSB of the register to be read) is put on the DOUT
pin. During a serial read operation, when each data bit becomes
available on the rising edge of SCLK, the bit 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 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.

ADE7753 SERIAL INTERFACE
All ADE7753 functionality is accessible via several on-chip
registers—see Figure 89. The contents of these registers can be
updated or read using the on-chip serial interface. After power-
on or toggling the RESET pin low or a falling edge on CS, the
ADE7753 is placed in communications mode. In communica-
tions mode, the ADE7753 expects a write to its communications
register. The data written to the communications register
determines whether the next data transfer operation is a read
or a write and also which register is accessed. Therefore all data
transfer operations with the ADE7753, whether a read or a write,
must begin with a write to the communications register.

Figure 89. Addressing ADE7753 Registers via the Communications Register
The communications register is an 8-bit wide register. The MSB
determines whether the next data transfer operation is a read or
a write. The six LSBs contain the address of the register to be
accessed—see the Communications Register section for a more
detailed description.
Figure 90 and Figure 91 show the data transfer sequences for a
read and write operation, respectively. On completion of a data
transfer (read or write), the ADE7753 once again enters
communications mode. A data transfer is complete when the
LSB of the ADE7753 register being addressed (for a write or a
read) is transferred to or from the ADE7753.

MULTIBYTE READ DATA
Figure 91. Writing Data to the ADE7753 via the Serial Interface
The serial interface of the ADE7753 is made up 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
ADE7753 at the DIN logic input on the falling edge of SCLK.
Data is shifted out of the ADE7753 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 ADE7753 into 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 places the serial bus in a high impedance state. The
CS logic input can be tied low if the ADE7753 is the only device
on the serial bus. However, with CS tied low, all initiated data
transfer operations must be fully completed, i.e., the LSB of each
register must be transferred because there is no other way of
bringing the ADE7753 back into communications mode
without resetting the entire device by using RESET.
ADE7753
Rev. C | Page 50 of 60
ADE7753 Serial Write Operation
The serial write sequence takes place as follows. With the
ADE7753 in communications mode (i.e., the CS input logic
low), a write to the communications register first takes place.
The MSB of this byte transfer is a 1, indicating that the data
transfer operation is a write. The LSBs of this byte contain the
address of the register to be written to. The ADE7753 starts
shifting in the register data on the next falling edge of SCLK. All
remaining bits of register data are shifted in on the falling edge
of subsequent SCLK pulses—see . 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 ADE7753, data is transferred to all on-chip registers one
byte at a time. After a byte is transferred into the serial port,
there is a finite time before it is transferred to one of the
ADE7753 on-chip registers. Although another byte transfer to
the serial port can start while the previous byte is being
transferred to an on-chip register, this second byte transfer
Figure 92
should not finish until at least 4 μs after the end of the previous
byte transfer. This functionality is expressed in the timing
specification t6—see Figure 92. If a write operation is aborted
during a byte transfer (CS brought high), then that byte cannot
be written to the destination register.
Destination registers can be up to 3 bytes wide—see the
ADE7753 Register Description tables. Therefore the first byte
shifted into the serial port at DIN is transferred to the MSB
(most significant byte) of the destination register. If, for
example, the addressed register is 12 bits wide, a 2-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 ADE7753 would be the four MSBs of the 12-bit word.

ADE7753 Serial Read Operation
During a data read operation from the ADE7753, data is shifted
out at the DOUT logic output on the rising edge of SCLK. As is
the case with the data write operation, a data read must be
preceded with a write to the communications register.
With the ADE7753 in communications mode (i.e., CS logic
low), an 8-bit write to the communications register first takes
place. The MSB of this byte transfer is a 0, indicating that the
next data transfer operation is a read. The LSBs of this byte
contain the address of the register that is to be read. The
ADE7753 starts shifting out of the register data on the next
rising edge of SCLK—see . At this point, the DOUT
logic output leaves its 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 also
enters communications mode again as soon as the read has
been completed. At this point, the DOUT logic output enters a
high impedance state on the falling edge of the last SCLK pulse.
The read operation can be aborted by bringing the
Figure 94
CS logic
input high before the data transfer is complete. The DOUT
output enters a high impedance state on the rising edge of CS.
When an ADE7753 register is addressed for a read operation,
the entire contents of that register are transferred to the serial
port. This allows the ADE7753 to modify its on-chip registers
without the risk of corrupting data during a multibyte transfer.
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 4 μs after the end of the write operation.
If the read command is sent within 4 μs of the write operation,
the last byte of the write operation could be lost. This timing
constraint is given as timing specification t9.

ADE7753 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
All ADE7753 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. A full description of the serial interface protocol is given in the ADE7753 Serial Interface section.
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER
The communications register is an 8-bit, write-only register which controls the serial data transfer between the ADE7753 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. Tabl e 13 outlines the bit
designations for the communications register.

Bit Location Bit Mnemonic Description
0 to 5 A0 to A5 The six LSBs of the communications register specify the register for the data transfer operation.
Table 12 lists the address of each ADE7753 on-chip register.
6 RESERVED This bit is unused and should be set to 0.
7 W/R
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 ADE7753.
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.
MODE REGISTER (0x09)
The ADE7753 functionality is configured by writing to the mode register. Table 14 describes the functionality of each bit in the register.

INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER (0x0B), RESET INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER (0x0C),
INTERRUPT ENABLE REGISTER (0x0A)
The status register is used by the MCU to determine the source of an interrupt request (IRQ). When an interrupt event occurs in the
ADE7753, the corresponding flag in the interrupt status register is set to logic high. If the enable bit for this flag is Logic 1 in the interrupt
enable register, the IRQ logic output goes active low. 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.
Table 15. Interrupt Status Register, Reset Interrupt Status Register, and Interrupt Enable Register
Bit Location Interrupt Flag Description
0 AEHF Indicates that an interrupt occurred because the active energy register, AENERGY, is more than half full.
1 SAG Indicates that an interrupt was caused by a SAG on the line voltage.
2 CYCEND
Indicates the end of energy accumulation over an integer number of half line cycles as defined by
the content of the LINECYC register—see the Line Cycle Energy Accumulation Mode section.
3 WSMP Indicates that new data is present in the waveform register.
4 ZX This status bit is set to Logic 0 on the rising and falling edge of the the voltage waveform.
See the Zero-Crossing Detection section.
5 TEMP Indicates that a temperature conversion result is available in the temperature register.
6 RESET
Indicates the end of a reset (for both software or hardware reset). The corresponding enable bit has no
function in the interrupt enable register, i.e., this status bit is set at the end of a reset, but it cannot
be enabled to cause an interrupt.
7 AEOF Indicates that the active energy register has overflowed.
8 PKV Indicates that waveform sample from Channel 2 has exceeded the VPKLVL value.
9 PKI Indicates that waveform sample from Channel 1 has exceeded the IPKLVL value.
A VAEHF Indicates that an interrupt occurred because the active energy register, VAENERGY, is more than half full.
B VAEOF Indicates that the apparent energy register has overflowed.
C ZXTO
Indicates that an interrupt was caused by a missing zero crossing on the line voltage for the specified
number of line cycles—see the Zero-Crossing Timeout section.
D PPOS Indicates that the power has gone from negative to positive.
E PNEG Indicates that the power has gone from positive to negative.

CH1OS REGISTER (0x0D)
The CH1OS register is an 8-bit, read/write enabled register. The MSB of this register is used to switch on/off the digital integrator in
Channel 1, and Bits 0 to 5 indicates the amount of the offset correction in Channel 1. Table 16 summarizes the function of this register.
Table 16. CH1OS Register
Bit Location Bit Mnemonic Description
0 to 5 OFFSET The six LSBs of the CH1OS register control the amount of dc offset correction in Channel 1 ADC. The
6-bit offset correction is sign and magnitude coded. Bits 0 to 4 indicate the magnitude of the offset
correction. Bit 5 shows the sign of the offset correction. A 0 in Bit 5 means the offset correction is
positive and a 1 indicates the offset correction is negative.
6 Not Used This bit is unused.
7 INTEGRATOR
This bit is used to activate the digital integrator on Channel 1. The digital integrator is switched on by
setting this bit. This bit is set to be 0 on default.
