Preliminary Technical Data
AD7756*
FEATURES
High Accuracy, supports IEC 687/1036
Less than 0.1% error over a dynamic
range of 500 to 1
T he 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. T he 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. T he part also
incorporates a detection circuit for short duration low
voltage variations or sags. T he 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.
T his output can be used to extract timing or frequency
information from the line. T he signal is also used internally to
the chip in the calibration mode. T his permits faster and more
accurate calibration of the real power calculation. T his 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.
T he interrupt request output is an open drain, active low logic
output. T he 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.
T he 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
