GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADE77681 is a high accuracy, electrical energy metering IC.
It is a pin reduction version of the ADE7755, enhanced with a
precise oscillator circuit that serves as a clock source to the chip.
The ADE7768 eliminates the cost of an external crystal or
resonator, thus reducing the overall cost of a meter built with
this IC. The chip directly interfaces with the shunt resistor.

ADE7768
The ADE7768 specifications surpass the accuracy requirements of the IEC62053-21 standard. The AN-679 Application
Note can be used as a basis for a description of an IEC61036
(equivalent to IEC62053-21) low cost, watt-hour meter
reference design.
The only analog circuitry used in the ADE7768 is in the Σ-Δ
DCs and reference circuit. All other signal processing, such as
A
multiplication and filtering, is carried out in the digital domain.
This approach provides superior stability and accuracy over
time and extreme environmental conditions.
The ADE7768 supplies positive-only average real power
rmation on the low frequency outputs, F1 and F2. These
info
outputs can be used to directly drive an electromechanical
counter or interface with an MCU. The high frequency CF logic
output, ideal for calibration purposes, provides instantaneous
positive-only, real power information.
The ADE7768 includes a power supply monitoring circuit on
th
supply pin. The ADE7768 remains inactive until the
e V
DD
supply voltage on V
falls below 4 V, the ADE7768 also remains inactive and the F1,
F2, and CF outputs are in their nonactive modes.
Internal phase matching circuitry ensures that the voltage and
c
urrent channels are phase matched, while the HPF in the
current channel eliminates dc offsets. An internal no-load
threshold ensures that the ADE7768 does not exhibit creep
when no load is present. When REVP is logic high, the
ADE7768 does not generate any pulse on F1, F2, and CF.
The ADE7768 comes in a 16-lead, narrow body SOIC package.

TERMINOLOGY
Measurement Error
The error associated with the energy measurement made by the
ADE7768 is defined by the following formula:

Phase Error Between Channels
The high-pass filter (HPF) in the current channel (Channel V1)
has a phase-lead response. To offset this phase response and
equalize the phase response between channels, a phasecorrection network is also placed in Channel V1. The phasecorrection network matches the phase to within 0.1° over a
range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz, and 0.2° over a range 40 Hz to 1 kHz

ADC Offset Error
This r
efers to the small dc signal (offset) associated with the
analog inputs to the ADCs. However, the HPF in Channel V1
eliminates the offset in the circuitry. Therefore, the power
calculation is not affected by this offset.
Frequency Output Error (CF)
requency output error of the ADE7768 is defined as the

difference between the measured output frequency (minus the
offset) and the ideal output frequency. The difference is
expressed as a percentage of the ideal frequency. The ideal

The ga

between the measured output of the ADCs (minus the offset)
and the ideal output of the ADCs. The difference is expressed
as a percentage of the ideal of the ADCs.

PIN CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Table 4. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 VDD
Power Supply. This pin provides the supply voltage for the circuitry in the ADE7
should be maintained at 5 V ± 5% for specified operation. This pin should be decoupled with a 10 μF
capacitor in parallel with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor.
2, 3 V2P, V2N
Analog Inputs for Channel V2 (Voltage Channel). These inputs provide a fully differential input pair. The
maximum differential input voltage is ±165 mV for specified operation. Both inputs have internal ESD
protection circuitry; an overvoltage of ±6 V can be sustained on these inputs without risk of permanent
damage.
4, 5 V1N, V1P
Analog Inputs for Channel V1 (Current Channel). These inputs are fully differential voltage inputs with a
maximum signal level of ±30 mV with respect to the V1N pin for specified operation. 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 AGND
This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry in the ADE7768, that is, the ADCs and
reference. This pin should be tied to the analog ground plane of the PCB. The analog ground plane is the
ground reference for all analog circuitry, such as antialiasing filters, current and voltage sensors, and so forth.
For accurate noise suppression, the analog ground plane should be connected to the digital ground plane at
only one point. A star ground configuration helps to keep noisy digital currents away from the analog
circuits.
7 REF
IN/OUT
This pin provides access to the on-chip voltage reference. The on-chip reference has a nominal value of 2.45 V
and a typical temperature coefficient of 20 ppm/°C. An external reference source may also be connected at
this pin. In either case, this pin should be decoupled to AGND with a 1 μF tantalum capacitor and a 100 nF
ceramic capacitor. The internal reference cannot be used to drive an external load.
8 SCF
Select Calibration Frequency. This logic input is used to select the frequency on the calibration output CF.
See Table 7.
9, 10 S1, S0
These logic inputs are used to select one of four possible frequencies for the digital-to-frequency conversion.
With this logic input, designers have greater flexibility when designing an energy meter. See the Selecting a
Frequency for an Energy Meter Application section.
11 RCLKIN
To enable the internal oscillator as a clock source to the chip, a precise low temperature drift resistor at a
nominal value of 6.2 kΩ must be connected from this pin to DGND.
12 REVP
This logic output goes high when negative power is detected, that is, when the phase angle between the
voltage and current signals is greater than 90°. This output is not latched and is reset when positive power is
once again detected. The output goes high or low at the same time that a pulse is issued on CF.
13 DGND
This pin provides the ground reference for the digital circuitry in the ADE7768, that is, the multiplier, filters,
and digital-to-frequency converter. This pin should be tied to the digital ground plane of the PCB. The digital
ground plane is the ground reference for all digital circuitry, such as counters (mechanical and digital), MCUs,
and indicator LEDs. For accurate noise suppression, the analog ground plane should be connected to the
digital ground plane at one point only—a star ground.
14 CF
Calibration Frequency Logic Output. The CF logic output provides instantaneous, positive-only real power
information. This output is intended for calibration purposes. See the SCF pin description.
15, 16 F2, F1
Low Frequency Logic Outputs. F1 and F2 supply average positiv
outputs can be used to directly drive electromechanical counters and 2-phase stepper motors. See the
Transfer Function section.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The two ADCs in the ADE7768 digitize the voltage signals from
the current and voltage sensors. These ADCs are 16-bit Σ-Δs
with an oversampling rate of 450 kHz. This analog input
structure greatly simplifies sensor interfacing by providing a
wide dynamic range for direct connection to the sensor and
by simplifying the antialiasing filter design. A high-pass filter
in the current channel removes any dc component from the
current signal. This eliminates any inaccuracies in the real
power calculation due to offsets in the voltage or current
signals.

The real power calculation is derived from the instantaneous

a direct multiplication of the current and voltage signals. To

the real power information can be extracted by low-pass
filtering the instantaneous power signal. In the ADE7768,
this signal is compared to 0 and only positive real power is
accumulated for F1, F2, and CF pulse outputs. This scheme
correctly calculates real power for sinusoidal current and
voltage waveforms at all power factors. All signal processing
is carried out in the digital domain for superior stability over
temperature and time.

Power Factor Considerations
The method used to extract the real power information from
the instantaneous power signal (that is, by low-pass filtering) is
still valid even when the voltage and current signals are not in
phase. Figure 17 displays the unity power factor condition and a
dis
placement power factor (DPF) = 0.5 (a current signal lagging
the voltage by 60°). Assuming that the voltage and current
waveforms are sinusoidal, the real power component of the
instantaneous power signal (that is, the dc term) is given by

The low frequency outputs (F1 and F2) are generated by
accumulating positive-only real power information. This low
frequency inherently means a long accumulation time between
output pulses. Consequently, the resulting output frequency is
proportional to the average positive-only real power. This
average positive-only real power information is then accumulated (by a counter) to generate real energy information (see
Figure 16). Conversely, due to its high output frequency and
shor
ter integration time, the CF output frequency is proportional to the instantaneous positive-only real power. This is
useful for system calibration, which can be done faster under
steady load conditions.

Nonsinusoidal Voltage and Current
The real power calculation method also holds true for nonsinusoidal current and voltage waveforms. All voltage and

the voltage and current waveforms. The power factor calculation has previously been shown to be accurate in a pure
sinusoid. Therefore, the harmonic real power must also
correctly account for the power factor, because it is made up
of a series of pure sinusoids.
Note that the input bandwidth of the analog inputs is 7 kHz at

of immunity to false triggering from noisy supplies.
In Figure 22, the trigger level is nominally set at 4 V. The tolera

HPF and Offset Effects
Figure 23 shows the effect of offsets on the real power calculation. As can be seen, offsets on Channel V1 and Channel V2
contribute a dc component after multiplication. Because this dc
component is extracted by the LPF and used to generate the real
power information, the offsets contribute a constant error to the
real power calculation. This problem is easily avoided by the
built-in HPF in Channel V1. By removing the offsets from at
least one channel, no error component can be generated at dc
by the multiplication. Error terms at the line frequency (ω) are
removed by the LPF and the digital-to-frequency conversion
(see the
Digital-to-Frequency Conversion section).
Equation 6 shows how the power calculation is affected by the
ffsets in the current and voltage channels.

Digital-to-Frequency Conversion
As previously described, the digital output of the low-pass filter
after multiplication contains the positive-only real power
information. However, because this LPF is not an ideal brick
wall filter implementation, the output signal also contains
attenuated components at the line frequency and its harmonics,
that is, cos(hωt) where h = 1, 2, 3, ... and so on.

In Figure 26, the frequency output CF varies over time, even
under steady load conditions. This frequency variation is
primarily due to the cos(2ωt) component in the instantaneous
positive-only real power signal. The output frequency on CF
can be up to 2048 times higher than the frequency on F1 and
F2. This higher output frequency is generated by accumulating
the instantaneous positive-only real power signal over a much
shorter time while converting it to a frequency. This shorter
accumulation period means less averaging of the cos(2ωt)
component. Consequently, some of this instantaneous power
signal passes through the digital-to-frequency conversion. This
is not a problem in the application. Where CF is used for
calibration purposes, the frequency should be averaged by the
frequency counter, which removes any ripple. If CF is used to
measure energy, such as in a microprocessor-based application,
the CF output should also be averaged to calculate power.
05331-015
Figure 26 shows the instantaneous positive-only real power
nal at the output of the LPF that still contains a significant
sig
amount of instantaneous power information, that is, cos(2ωt).
This signal is then passed to the digital-to-frequency converter
where it is compared to 0 and only positive real power is integrated (accumulated) over time to produce an output frequency.
The accumulation of the signal suppresses or averages out any
non-dc components in the instantaneous positive-only real
power signal. The average value of a sinusoidal signal is 0. Thus,
the frequency generated by the ADE7768 is proportional to the
average positive-only real power.

Because the F1 and F2 outputs operate at a much lower
requency, much more averaging of the instantaneous positive-

only real power signal is carried out. The result is a greatly
attenuated sinusoidal content and a virtually ripple-free
frequency output.
Connecting to a Microcontroller for Energy
Measurement
The easiest way to interface the ADE7768 to a microcontroller
is to use the CF high frequency output with the output
frequency scaling set to 2048 × F1, F2. This is done by setting
SCF = 0 and S0 = S1 = 1 (see Table 7). With full-scale ac
nals on the analog inputs, the output frequency on CF is
sig
approximately 2.867 kHz. Figure 27 illustrates one scheme that
uld be used to digitize the output frequency and carry out the
co
necessary averaging mentioned in the previous section.

As shown in Figure 27, the frequency output CF is connected

Time
For the purpose of calibration, this integration time could be
10 seconds to 20 seconds, to accumulate enough pulses to
ensure correct averaging of the frequency. In normal operation,
the integration time could be reduced to 1 second or 2 seconds,
depending, for example, on the required update rate of a
display. With shorter integration times on the MCU, the
amount of energy in each update may still have some small
amount of ripple, even under steady load conditions. However,
over a minute or more the measured energy has no ripple.
Power Measurement Considerations
Calculating and displaying power information always has some
associated ripple, which depends on the integration period used
in the MCU to determine average power and also on the load.
For example, at light loads, the output frequency may be 10 Hz.
With an integration period of 2 seconds, only about 20 pulses
are counted. The possibility of missing one pulse always exists,
because the ADE7768 output frequency is running asynchronously to the MCU timer. This results in a 1-in-20 or 5% error
in the power measurement. When REVP is logic high, the
ADE7768 does not generate any pulse on F1, F2, and CF.
INTERNAL OSCILLATOR (OSC)
The nominal internal oscillator frequency is 450 kHz when
used with RCLKIN, with a nominal value of 6.2 kΩ. The
frequency outputs are directly proportional to the oscillator
frequency, thus RCLKIN must have low tolerance and low
temperature drift to ensure stability and linearity of the chip.

(on Channel V1 and Channel V2) and then low-pass filters this
product to extract positive-only real power information. This
positive-only real power information is then converted to a

Table 6). This means that the frequency at

The result is an output frequency that is proportional to the
average positive-only real power. The averaging of the positiveonly real power signal is implicit to the digital-to-frequency
conversion. The output frequency or pulse rate is related to the

Frequency Output CF
The pulse output CF (calibration frequency) is intended for
calibration purposes. The output pulse rate on CF can be up
to 2048 times the pulse rate on F1 and F2. The lower the F
frequency selected, the higher the CF scaling (except for the
high frequency mode SCF = 0, S1 = S0 = 1). Table 7 shows
ow the two frequencies are related, depending on the states
h
of the logic inputs S0, S1, and SCF. Due to its relatively high
pulse rate, the frequency at the CF logic output is proportional
to the instantaneous positive-only real power. As with F1 and
F2, CF is derived from the output of the low-pass filter after
multiplication. However, because the output frequency is
high, this positive-only real power information is accumulated
over a much shorter time. Therefore, less averaging is carried
out in the digital-to-frequency conversion. With much less
averaging of the positive-only real power signal, the CF output
is much more responsive to power fluctuations (see the signal

current of 13.72 mA at 220 V. Compare this value to the
IEC62053-21 specification which states that the meter must
start up with a load equal to or less than 0.4% Ib. For a 5 A (Ib)
meter, 0.4% of Ib is equivalent to 20 mA.
Frequency Outputs
Figure 2 shows a timing diagram for the various frequency
outputs. The F1 and F2 outputs are the low frequency outputs
that can be used to directly drive a stepper motor or electromechanical impulse counter. The F1 and F2 outputs provide
two alternating low frequency pulses. The F1 and F2 pulse
widths (t
) are set such that if they fall below 240 ms (0.24 Hz),
1
they are set to half of their period. The maximum output
frequencies for F1 and F2 are shown in Tabl e 6.
The high frequency CF output is intended for communications
nd calibration purposes. CF produces a 90-ms-wide active
a
high pulse (t
) at a frequency proportional to active power. The

CF output frequencies are given in Table 7. As with F1 and F2,
if t

) falls below 180 ms, the CF pulse width is

set to half the period. For example, if the CF frequency is 20 Hz,
the CF pulse width is 25 ms.
When high frequency mode is selected (SCF = 0, S1 = S0 = 1),
t
he CF pulse width is fixed at 35 μs. Therefore, t
is always 35 μs,

regardless of output frequency on CF.
NO-LOAD THRESHOLD
The ADE7768 includes a no-load threshold and start-up
current feature that eliminates any creep effects in the meter.
The ADE7768 is designed to issue a minimum output
frequency. Any load generating a frequency lower than this
minimum frequency does not cause a pulse to be issued on F1,
F2, or CF. The minimum output frequency is given as 0.00244%
for each of the F
frequency selections (see Tabl e 5).
1–4
NEGATIVE POWER INFORMATION
The ADE7768 detects when the current and voltage channels
have a phase shift greater than 90°. This mechanism can detect
an incorrect meter connection or the generation of negative
power. The REVP pin output goes active high when negative
power is detected and active low if positive power is detected.
The REVP pin output changes state as a pulse is issued on CF.
