PRELIMINARYTECHNICALDATA
Active Energy Metering IC
a
with Serial Interface
AD7756*
FEATURES
High Accuracy, supports IEC 687/1036
Less than 0.1% error over a dynamic
range of 500 to 1
The AD7756 contains a sampled waveform register and an
Active Energy register capable of holding at least 5
seconds of accumulated power at full load. Data is read
from the AD7756 via the serial interface. The AD7756
also provides a pulse output (CF) with a frequency which
is proportional to the active power.
Besides real power information the AD7756 also provides
system calibration features, i.e., channel offset correction,
phase calibration and power calibration. The part also
incorporates a detection circuit for short duration low
voltage variations or sags. The voltage threshold level and
the duration (no. of half line cycles) of the variation are
user programmable. An open drain logic output (SAG)
goes active low when a sag event occurs.
A zero crossing output (ZX) produces an output which is
synchronized to the zero crossing point of the line voltage.
This output can be used to extract timing or frequency
information from the line. The signal is also used internally to
the chip in the calibration mode. This permits faster and more
accurate calibration of the real power calculation. This signal is
also useful for synchronization of relay switching with a
voltage zero crossing, thus improving the relay life by
reducing the risk of arcing.
The interrupt request output is an open drain, active low logic
output. The IRQ output will become active when the accumu-
lated real power register is half full and also when it over flows.
A status register will indicate the nature of the interrupt.
The AD7756 is available in 20 pin DIP and 20 lead SSOP
packages.
An On-Chip user Programmable threshold for line
voltage SAG detection and PSU supervisory.
The AD7756 supplies Sampled Waveform Data
and Active Energy (40 Bits).
Digital Power, Phase & Input Offset Calibration.
An On-Chip temperature sensor ( 3ꢀC typical after calibration)
A SPI compatible Serial Interface.
A pulse output with programmable frequency.
An Interrupt Request line (IRQ) and Status register
provide early warning of register overflow
Proprietary ADCs and DSP provide high accuracy over
large variations in environmental conditions and time.
Reference 2.5V 8% (30 ppm/ꢀC typical)
with external overdrive capability
Single 5V Supply, Low power (15mW typical)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7756 is a high accuracy electrical power measurement
IC with a serial interface and a pulse output. The AD7756
incorporates two second order sigma delta ADCs, refer-
ence circuitry, temperature sensor and all the signal
processing required to perform active power and energy
measurement.
