DESCRIPTION
The SA4106A is an accurate single phase power/energy
metering integrated circuit providing a single chip solution for
single phase energy meters. Very few external components
are required and the chip includes a direct drive capability for
electro-mechanical counters. The SA4106A does not require
an external crystal or voltage reference. A precision oscillator
and a precision voltage reference to supply the circuitry with
a stable frequency and stable reference currents are
integrated on the chip.
(IMAX) and nominal voltages (VNOM) without having to change
the stepper motor counter or impulse counter gear ratio. The
LED pulse output follows the average active power
consumption measured and is intended for meter calibration
purposes. In fast calibration mode this output provides a high
frequency pulse rate following the average active power
consumption and can be used for fast calibration or to
interface with a microcontroller.
The SA4106A includes an anti-creep feature preventing any
creep effects in the meter under no-load conditions. The anti-
creep threshold can be set to 0.01% or 0.004% of FMAX. The
anti-creep function can also be disabled.
The SA4106A metering integrated circuit generates a pulse
output, the frequency of which is proportional to the active
power consumption.
Programmable inputs allow the meter manufacturer to
configure the SA4106A for different meter maximum currents
The SA4106A integrated circuit is available in a 20 pin small
outline (SOIC20) RoHS compliant package.
