The ADE9078 integrates seven high performances ADCs and a
flexible DSP core. An integrated high end reference ensures low
drift over temperature with a combined drift of less than
25 ppm/°C maximum per channel, each of which includes a
programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and ADC.
The ADE9078 offers an integrated flexible waveform buffer that
stores samples at a fixed data rate or a sampling rate that varies
based on line frequency to ensure 64 points per line cycle. These
two options make it easy to implement harmonic analysis in an
external processor according to IEC 61000-4-7.
