GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are high
accuracy, 3-phase electrical energy measurement ICs with serial
interfaces and three flexible pulse outputs. The ADE78xx devices
incorporate second-order sigma-delta (Σ-∆) analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), a digital integrator, reference circuitry, and
all of the signal processing required to perform total (fundamental
and harmonic) active, reactive (ADE7878, ADE7868, and
AD
E7858), and apparent energy measurement and rms calculations, as well as fundamental-only active and reactive energy
measurement (ADE7878) and rms calculations. A fixed function
digital signal processor (DSP) executes this signal processing.
The DSP program is stored in the internal ROM memory.
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are suitable for
measuring active, reactive, and apparent energy in various 3-phase
configurations, such as wye or delta services, with both three
and four wires. The ADE78xx devices provide system calibration
features for each phase, that is, rms offset correction, phase
calibration, and gain calibration. The CF1, CF2, and CF3 logic
outputs provide a wide choice of power information: total active,
reactive, and apparent powers, or the sum of the current rms
values, and fundamental active and reactive powers.
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain waveform sample registers that allow access to all ADC outputs. The
devices also incorporate power quality measurements, such as
short duration low or high voltage detections, short duration
high current variations, line voltage period measurement, and
angles between phase voltages and currents. Two serial interfaces,
SPI and I
2
C, can be used to communicate with the ADE78xx. A
dedicated high speed interface, the high speed data capture
(HSDC) port, can be used in conjunction with I
2
C to provide
access to the ADC outputs and real-time power information.
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 also have two
interrupt request pins,
IRQ0
and
IRQ1
, to indicate that an enabled
interrupt event has occurred. For the ADE7868/ADE7878, three
specially designed low power modes ensure the continuity of
energy accumulation when the ADE7868/ADE7878 is in a tampering situation. See for a quick reference chart listing

Analog Inputs for the Voltage Channel. This channel is used with the voltage transducer and is
referenced as the voltage channel in this document. These inputs are single-ended voltage inputs
with a maximum signal level of ±0.5 V with respect to VN for specified operation. This channel also
has an internal PGA.
This pin provides access to the on-chip 2.5 V analog low dropout regulator (LDO). Do not connect
external active circuitry to this pin. Decouple this pin with a 4.7 µF capacitor in parallel with a
ceramic 220 nF capacitor.
Ground Reference. This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry. Tie this pin to the
analog ground plane or to the quietest ground reference in the system. Use this quiet ground
reference for all analog circuitry, for example, antialiasing filters, current, and voltage transducers.
Supply Voltage. This pin provides the supply voltage. In PSM0 (normal power mode), maintain the
supply voltage at 3.3 V ± 10% for specified operation. In PSM1 (reduced power mode), PSM2 (low
power mode), and PSM3 (sleep mode), when the ADE7868/ADE7878 is supplied from a battery,
maintain the supply voltage between 2.4 V and 3.7 V. Decouple this pin to AGND with a 10 µF
capacitor in parallel with a ceramic 100 nF capacitor. The only modes available on the ADE7858 and
ADE7854 are the PSM0 and PSM3 power modes.
Master Clock. An external clock can be provided at this logic input. Alternatively, a parallel resonant
AT-cut crystal can be connected across CLKIN and CLKOUT to provide a clock source for the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878. The clock frequency for specified operation is 16.384 MHz.
Use ceramic load capacitors of a few tens of picofarad with the gate oscillator circuit. Refer to the
crystal manufacturer’s data sheet for load capacitance requirements.
A crystal can be connected across this pin and CLKIN (as previously described with Pin 27 in this
table) to provide a clock source for the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878. The CLKOUT pin can
drive one CMOS load when either an external clock is supplied at CLKIN or a crystal is being used.

Calibration Frequency (CF) Logic Outputs. These outputs provide power information based on the
CF1SEL[2:0], CF2SEL[2:0], and CF3SEL[2:0] bits in the CFMODE register. These outputs are used for
operational and calibration purposes. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by writing to the
CF1DEN, CF2DEN, and CF3DEN registers, respectively (see the Energy-to-Frequency Conversion
section). CF3 is multiplexed with the serial clock output of the HSDC port.

TERMINOLOGY
Measurement Error
The error associated with the energy measurement made by the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is defined by
Measurement Error =
7878×−
EnergyTrue
EnergyTrueADEbyRegisteredEnergy
(1)
%100
Phase Error Between Channels
The high-pass filter (HPF) and digital integrator introduce a
slight phase mismatch between the current and the voltage
channel. The all digital design ensures that the phase matching
between the current channels and voltage channels in all three
phases is within ±0.1° over a range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz and ±0.2°
over a range of 40 Hz to 1 kHz. This internal phase mismatch
can be combined with the external phase error (from current
sensor or component tolerance) and calibrated with the phase
calibration registers.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
This quantifies the ADE7878 measurement error as a percentage of reading when the power supplies are varied. For the ac
PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies (3.3 V) is
taken. A second reading is obtained with the same input signal
levels when an ac signal (120 mV rms at 100 Hz) is introduced
onto the supplies. Any error introduced by this ac signal is
expressed as a percentage of reading—see the Measurement
Error definition.
For the dc PSR measurement, a reading at nominal supplies
(3.3 V) is taken. A second reading is obtained with the same
input signal levels when the power supplies are varied ±10%.
Any error introduced is expressed as a percentage of the
reading.
ADC Offset Error
This refers to the dc offset associated with the analog inputs to
the ADCs. It means that with the analog inputs connected to
AGND, the ADCs still see a dc analog input signal. The magnitude of the offset depends on the gain and input range selection
(see the Typical Performance Characteristics section). However,
the HPF removes the offset from the current and voltage channels
and the power calculation remains unaffected by this offset.
Gain Error
The gain error in the ADCs of the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878/
ADE7854 is defined as the difference between the measured
ADC output code (minus the offset) and the ideal output code
(see the Current Channel ADC section and the Voltage Channel
ADC section). The difference is expressed as a percentage of the
ideal code.
CF Jitter
The period of pulses at one of the CF1, CF2, or CF3 pins is
continuously measured. The maximum, minimum, and average
values of four consecutive pulses are computed as follows:
Maximum = max(Period
Minimum = min(Period
Average =

POWER MANAGEMENT
The ADE7868/ADE7878 have four modes of operation, determined by the state of the PM0 and PM1 pins (see Tab le 9 ). The
ADE7854/ADE7858 have two modes of operation. These pins
provide complete control of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/
ADE7878 operation and can easily be connected to an external
microprocessor I/O. The PM0 and PM1 pins have internal pullup resistors. See Ta ble 11 and Tabl e 12 for a list of actions that are
recommended before and after setting a new power mode.

PSM0—NORMAL POWER MODE (ALL PARTS)
In PSM0 mode, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
are fully functional. The PM0 pin is set to high and the PM1 pin
is set to low for the ADE78xx to enter this mode. If the ADE78xx
is in one of PSM1, PSM2, or PSM3 modes and is switched into
PSM0 mode, then all control registers take the default values with
the exception of the threshold register, LPOILVL, which is used
in PSM2 mode, and the CONFIG2 register, both of which
maintain their values.

PSM1—REDUCED POWER MODE (ADE7868,
ADE7878 ONLY)
The reduced power mode, PSM1, is available on the ADE7868
and ADE7878 only. In this mode, the ADE7868/ADE7878
measure the mean absolute values (mav) of the 3-phase currents
and store the results in the AIMAV, BIMAV, and CIMAV 20-bit
registers. This mode is useful in missing neutral cases in which
the voltage supply of the ADE7868 or ADE7878 is provided by an
external battery. The serial ports, I

and CIMAV registers. It is not recommended to read any of the
other registers because their values are not guaranteed in this
mode. Similarly, a write operation is not taken into account by
the ADE7868/ADE7878 in this mode.

C or SPI, are enabled in this
In summary, in this mode, it is not recommended to access any
register other than AIMAV, BIMAV, and CIMAV. The circuit
that measures these estimates of rms values is also active during
PSM0; therefore, its calibration can be completed in either PSM0
mode or in PSM1 mode. Note that the ADE7868 and ADE7878
do not provide any register to store or process the corrections
resulting from the calibration process. The external microprocessor
stores the gain values in connection with these measurements
and uses them during PSM1 (see the Current Mean Absolute
Value Calculation—ADE7868 and ADE7878 Only section for
more details on the xIMAV registers).
The 20-bit mean absolute value measurements done in PSM1,
although available also in PSM0, are different from the rms
measurements of phase currents and voltages executed only in
PSM0 and stored in the xIRMS and xVRMS 24-bit registers. See
the Current Mean Absolute Value Calculation—ADE7868 and
ADE7878 Only section for details.
If the ADE7868/ADE7878 is set in PSM1 mode while still in the
PSM0 mode, the ADE7868/ADE7878 immediately begin the
mean absolute value calculations without any delay. The xIMAV
registers are accessible at any time; however, if the ADE7878 or
ADE7868 is set in PSM1 mode while still in PSM2 or PSM3
modes, the ADE7868/ADE7878 signal the start of the mean

PSM2—LOW POWER MODE (ADE7868, ADE7878
ONLY)
The low power mode, PSM2, is available on the ADE7868 and
ADE7878 only. In this mode, the ADE7868/ADE7878 compare
all phase currents against a threshold for a period of 0.02 ×
(LPLINE[4:0] + 1) seconds, independent of the line frequency.
LPLINE[4:0] are Bits[7:3] of the LPOILVL register (see Tabl e 1 0).

The threshold is derived from Bits[2:0] (LPOIL[2:0]) of the
LPOILVL register as LPOIL[2:0]/8 of full scale. Every time
one phase current becomes greater than the threshold, a
counter is incremented. If every phase counter remains below

The I2C or SPI port is not functional during this mode. The PSM2
mode reduces the power consumption required to monitor the
currents when there is no voltage input and the voltage supply
of the ADE7868/ADE7878 is provided by an external battery. If

this signifies all phase currents stayed below threshold and,
therefore, there is no current flowing through the system.
At this point, the external microprocessor sets the ADE7868/
IRQ1
ADE7878 into Sleep Mode PSM3. If the
pin is triggered
low at the end of the measurement period, this signifies that at
least one current input is above the defined threshold and
current is flowing through the system, although no voltage is
present at the ADE7868/ADE7878 pins. This situation is often
called missing neutral and is considered a tampering situation,
at which point the external microprocessor sets the ADE7868/
ADE7878 into PSM1 mode, measures the mean absolute values
of phase currents, and integrates the energy based on their values
and the nominal voltage.
It is recommended to use the ADE7868/ADE7878 in PSM2
mode when Bits[2:0] (PGA1[2:0]) of the gain register are equal
to 1 or 2. These bits represent the gain in the current channel
datapath. It is not recommended to use the ADE7868/ADE7878
in PSM2 mode when the PGA1[2:0] bits are equal to 4, 8, or 16.
PSM3—SLEEP MODE (ALL PARTS)
The sleep mode is available on all parts (ADE7854, ADE7858,
ADE7868, and ADE7878). In this mode, the ADE78xx has most
of its internal circuits turned off and the current consumption is
at its lowest level. The I

Figure 24. Power-Up Procedure
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain an onchip power supply monitor that supervises the power supply
(VDD). At power-up, until VDD reaches 2 V ± 10%, the chip is
in an inactive state. As VDD crosses this threshold, the power
supply monitor keeps the chip in this inactive state for an
additional 26 ms, allowing VDD to achieve 3.3 V − 10%, the
minimum recommended supply voltage. Because the PM0 and
PM1 pins have internal pull-up resistors and the external microprocessor keeps them high, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/
ADE7878 always power-up in sleep mode (PSM3). Then, an
external circuit (that is, a microprocessor) sets the PM1 pin to a
low level, allowing the ADE78xx to enter normal mode (PSM0).
The passage from PSM3 mode, in which most of the internal
circuitry is turned off, to PSM0 mode, in which all functionality
is enabled, is accomplished in less than 40 ms (see Figure 24 for
details).
If PSM0 mode is the only desired power mode, the PM1 pin can
be set low permanently by using a direct connection to ground.
The PM0 pin can remain open because the internal pull-up
resistor ensures that its state is high.

setting Bit 15 (RSTDONE) in the STATUS1 register to 1. This
bit is 0 during the transition period and becomes 1 when the
IRQ1
transition ends. The status bit is cleared and the
pin is
returned high by writing the STATUS1 register with the corresponding bit set to 1. Because the RSTDONE is an unmaskable

register to test the state of the RSTDONE bit. At this point, as a
good programming practice, it is also recommended to cancel
all other status flags in the STATUS1 and STATUS0 registers by
writing the corresponding bits with 1.
Initially, the DSP is in idle mode, which means it does not
execute any instruction. This is the moment to initialize all
ADE78xx registers. The last register in the queue must be
written three times to ensure the register has been initialized.
Then, enable the data memory RAM protection and write
0x0001 into the run register to start the DSP (see the Digital
Signal Processor section for details on data memory RAM
protection and the run register).
If the supply voltage, VDD, drops lower than 2 V ± 10%, the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 enter an inactive state,
which means that no measurements or computations are executed.

STATUS1 register to 1. This bit is 0 during the transition period
and becomes 1 when the transition ends. The status bit is cleared
and the

After a hardware reset, the DSP is in idle mode, which means it

Because the I
C port is the default serial port of the ADE7854/
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, it becomes active after a reset
state. If SPI is the port used by the external microprocessor, the
procedure to enable it must be repeated immediately after the
RESET
pin is toggled back to high (see the
section for details).
At this point, it is recommended to initialize all of the ADE78xx
registers, enable data memory RAM protection, and then write

SOFTWARE RESET FUNCTIONALITY
Bit 7 (SWRST) in the CONFIG register manages the software
reset functionality in PSM0 mode. The default value of this bit is 0.
If this bit is set to 1, then the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/

values despite the SWRST bit being set to 1 are the CONFIG2
and LPOILVL registers. When the software reset ends, Bit 7
(SWRST) in the CONFIG register is cleared to 0, the
interrupt pin is set low, and Bit 15 (RSTDONE) in the STATUS1
register is set to 1. This bit is 0 during the transition period and
becomes 1 when the transition ends. The status bit is cleared and
IRQ1
the
pin is set back high by writing to the STATUS1 register
with the corresponding bit set to 1.
After a software reset ends, the DSP is in idle mode, which
means it does not execute any instruction. It is recommended
to initialize all the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
registers and then enable the data memory RAM protection and
write 0x0001 into the run register to start the DSP (see the

THEORY OF OPERATION
ANALOG INPUTS
The ADE7868/ADE7878 have seven analog inputs forming current
and voltage channels. The ADE7854/ADE7858 have six analog
inputs, not offering the neutral current. The current channels
consist of four pairs of fully differential voltage inputs: IAP and
IAN, IBP and IBN, ICP and ICN, and INP and INN. These voltage input pairs have a maximum differential signal of ±0.5 V. In
addition, the maximum signal level on analog inputs for the
IxP/IxN pair is ±0.5 V with respect to AGND. The maximum
common-mode signal allowed on the inputs is ±25 mV. Figure 25
presents a schematic of the input for the current channels and
their relation to the maximum common-mode voltage.

possible gain selection of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. The gain of IA, IB, and
IC inputs is set in Bits[2:0] (PGA1[2:0]) of the gain register. For
the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only, the gain of the IN input is set
in Bits[5:3] (PGA2[2:0]) of the gain register; thus, a different gain
from the IA, IB, or IC inputs is possible. See Table 44 for details
on the gain register.
The voltage channel has three single-ended voltage inputs: VAP,
VBP, and VCP. These single-ended voltage inputs have a maximum
input voltage of ±0.5 V with respect to VN. In addition, the maximum signal level on analog inputs for VxP and VN is ±0.5 V
with respect to AGND. The maximum common-mode signal
allowed on the inputs is ±25 mV. Figure 26 presents a schematic
of the voltage channels inputs and their relation to the maximum
common-mode voltage.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION
The ADE7868/ADE7878 have seven sigma-delta (Σ-) analogto-digital converters (ADCs), and the ADE7854/ADE7858 have
six Σ- ADCs. In PSM0 mode, all ADCs are active. In PSM1
mode, only the ADCs that measure the Phase A, Phase B, and
Phase C currents are active. The ADCs that measure the neutral
current and the A, B, and C phase voltages are turned off. In
PSM2 and PSM3 modes, the ADCs are powered down to
minimize power consumption.
For simplicity, the block diagram in Figure 28 shows a firstorder Σ- ADC. The converter is composed of the Σ- modulator
and the digital low-pass filter.

Figure 28. First-Order
A Σ- modulator converts the input signal into a continuous
serial stream of 1s and 0s at a rate determined by the sampling
clock. In the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, the
sampling clock is equal to 1.024 MHz (CLKIN/16). The 1-bit
DAC in the feedback loop is driven by the serial data stream.
The DAC output is subtracted from the input signal. If the loop
gain is high enough, the average value of the DAC output (and,
therefore, the bit stream) can approach that of the input signal
level. For any given input value in a single sampling interval, the
data from the 1-bit ADC is virtually meaningless. Only when a
large number of samples are averaged is a meaningful result
obtained. This averaging is carried out in the second part of the
ADC, the digital low-pass filter. By averaging a large number of
bits from the modulator, the low-pass filter can produce 24-bit
data-words that are proportional to the input signal level.
The Σ- converter uses two techniques to achieve high resolution from what is essentially a 1-bit conversion technique. The
first is oversampling. Oversampling means that the signal is
sampled at a rate (frequency) that is many times higher than
the bandwidth of interest. For example, the sampling rate in
the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is 1.024 MHz,
08510-013
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
A
and the bandwidth of interest is 40 Hz to 2 kHz. Oversampling
has the effect of spreading the quantization noise (noise due to
sampling) over a wider bandwidth. With the noise spread more
thinly over a wider bandwidth, the quantization noise in the band
of interest is lowered, as shown in Figure 29. However, oversampling alone is not efficient enough to improve the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) in the band of interest. For example, an oversampling
factor of 4 is required just to increase the SNR by a mere 6 dB
(1 bit). To keep the oversampling ratio at a reasonable level, it is
possible to shape the quantization noise so that the majority of
the noise lies at the higher frequencies. In the Σ- modulator,
the noise is shaped by the integrator, which has a high-pass-type
response for the quantization noise. This is the second technique
used to achieve high resolution. The result is that most of the
noise is at the higher frequencies where it can be removed by
the digital low-pass filter. This noise shaping is shown in Figure 29.

Antialiasing Filter
Figure 28 also shows an analog low-pass filter (RC) on the input
to the ADC. This filter is placed outside the ADE7854/ADE7858/
ADE7868/ADE7878, and its role is to prevent aliasing. Aliasing
is an artifact of all sampled systems as shown in Figure 30. Aliasing
means that frequency components in the input signal to the
ADC, which are higher than half the sampling rate of the ADC,
appear in the sampled signal at a frequency below half the
sampling rate. Frequency components above half the sampling
frequency (also known as the Nyquist frequency, that is, 512 kHz)
are imaged or folded back down below 512 kHz. This happens
with all ADCs regardless of the architecture. In the example shown,
only frequencies near the sampling frequency, that is, 1.024 MHz,
move into the band of interest for metering, that is, 40 Hz to
2 kHz. To attenuate the high frequency (near 1.024 MHz) noise
and prevent the distortion of the band of interest, a low-pass
filer (LPF) must be introduced. For conventional current
sensors, it is recommended to use one RC filter with a corner
frequency of 5 kHz for the attenuation to be sufficiently high at
the sampling frequency of 1.024 MHz. The 20 dB per decade
attenuation of this filter is usually sufficient to eliminate the
effects of aliasing for conventional current sensors. However, for a
di/dt sensor such as a Rogowski coil, the sensor has a 20 dB per
decade gain. This neutralizes the 20 dB per decade attenuation
produced by the LPF. Therefore, when using a di/dt sensor, take
care to offset the 20 dB per decade gain. One simple approach is
to cascade one additional RC filter, thereby producing a −40 dB
per decade attenuation.

ADC Transfer Function
All ADCs in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are
designed to produce the same 24-bit signed output code for the
same input signal level. With a full-scale input signal of 0.5 V
and an internal reference of 1.2 V, the ADC output code is nominally 5,928,256 (0x5A7540). The code from the ADC can vary
between 0x800000 (−8,388,608) and 0x7FFFFF (+8,388,607);
this is equivalent to an input signal level of ±0.707 V. However,
for specified performance, do not exceed the nominal range of
±0.5 V; ADC performance is guaranteed only for input signals
lower than ±0.5 V.
CURRENT CHANNEL ADC
Figure 31 shows the ADC and signal processing path for
Input IA of the current channels (it is the same for IB and IC).
The ADC outputs are signed twos complement 24-bit datawords and are available at a rate of 8 kSPS (thousand samples
per second). With the specified full-scale analog input signal
of ±0.5 V, the ADC produces its maximum output code value.
Figure 31 shows a full-scale voltage signal applied to the differential inputs (IAP and IAN). The ADC output swings between
−5,928,256 (0xA58AC0) and +5,928,256 (0x5A7540). The
input, IN, corresponds to the neutral current of a 3-phase
system (available in the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only). If no
neutral line is present, connect this input to AGND. The
datapath of the neutral current is similar to the path of the
phase currents as shown in Figure 32.

Current Waveform Gain Registers
There is a multiplier in the signal path of each phase and
neutral current. The current waveform can be changed by
±100% by writing a corresponding twos complement number
to the 24-bit signed current waveform gain registers (AIGAIN,
BIGAIN, CIGAIN, and NIGAIN). For example, if 0x400000 is
written to those registers, the ADC output is scaled up by 50%.
To scale the input by −50%, write 0xC00000 to the registers.

The ADC outputs can contain a dc offset. This offset can create

are placed in the signal path of the phase and neutral currents
and of the phase voltages. If enabled, the HPF eliminates any dc
offset on the current channel. All filters are implemented in the

register is cleared to 0x00000000. All filters are disabled by
setting HPFDIS to any nonzero value.

The di/dt sensor detects changes in the magnetic field caused by
the ac current. Figure 36 shows the principle of a di/dt current
sensor.
loop generate an electromotive force (EMF) between the two
ends of the loop. The EMF is a voltage signal that is proportional to the di/dt of the current. The voltage output from the
di/dt current sensor is determined by the mutual inductance
between the current carrying conductor and the di/dt sensor.
Due to the di/dt sensor, the current signal needs to be filtered
before it can be used for power measurement. On each phase and
neutral current datapath, there is a built-in digital integrator to
recover the current signal from the di/dt sensor. The digital integrator is disabled by default when the ADE78xx is powered up
and after a reset. Setting Bit 0 (INTEN) of the CONFIG register
turns on the integrator. Figure 37 and Figure 38 show the
magnitude and phase response of the digital integrator.
Note that the integrator has a −20 dB/dec attenuation and
approximately −90° phase shift. When combined with a di/dt
sensor, the resulting magnitude and phase response should be a
flat gain over the frequency band of interest. However, the di/dt
sensor has a 20 dB/dec gain associated with it and generates significant high frequency noise. An antialiasing filter of at least
the second order is needed to avoid noise aliasing back in the
band of interest when the ADC is sampling (see the Antialiasing
Filter section).

Voltage Waveform Gain Registers
There is a multiplier in the signal path of each phase voltage.
The voltage waveform can be changed by ±100% by writing
a corresponding twos complement number to the 24-bit signed
current waveform gain registers (AVGAIN, BVGAIN, and
CVGAIN). For example, if 0x400000 is written to those registers,
the ADC output is scaled up by 50%. To scale the input by −50%,
write 0xC00000 to the registers. Equation 4 describes mathematically the function of the current waveform gain registers.

Changing the content of the AVGAIN, BVGAIN, and CVGAIN
registers affects all calculations based on its voltage; that is, it
affects the corresponding phase active/reactive/apparent energy
and voltage rms calculation. In addition, waveform samples are
scaled accordingly.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words,
and the DSP works on 28 bits. As presented in Figure 33, the
AVGAIN, BVGAIN, and CVGAIN registers are accessed as
32-bit registers with four MSBs padded with 0s and sign
extended to 28 bits.
Voltage Channel HPF
As explained in the Current Channel HPF section, the ADC
outputs can contain a dc offset that can create errors in power
and rms calculations. HPFs are placed in the signal path of the
phase voltages, similar to the ones in the current channels. The
HPFDIS register can enable or disable the filters. See the
Current Channel HPF section for more details.
Voltage Channel Sampling
The waveform samples of the voltage channel are taken at the
output of HPF and stored into VAWV, VBWV, and VCWV
24-bit signed registers at a rate of 8 kSPS. All power and rms
calculations remain uninterrupted during this process. Bit 17
(DREADY) in the STATUS0 register is set when the VAWV,
VBWV, and VCWV registers are available to be read using the

Bit DREADY.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.
Similar to registers presented in Figure 35, the VAWV, VBWV,
and VCWV 24-bit signed registers are transmitted sign
extended to 32 bits.
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 each contain an
HSDC port especially designed to provide fast access to the
waveform sample registers. See the HSDC Interface section for
more details.
CHANGING PHASE VOLTAGE DATAPATH
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can direct one
phase voltage input to the computational datapath of another
phase. For example, Phase A voltage can be introduced in the
Phase B computational datapath, which means all powers
computed by the ADE78xx in Phase B are based on Phase A
voltage and Phase B current.
Bits[9:8] (VTOIA[1:0]) of the CONFIG register manage the
Phase A voltage measured at the VA pin. If VTOIA[1:0] = 00
(default value), the voltage is directed to the Phase A computational datapath. If VTOIA[1:0] = 01, the voltage is directed to
the Phase B path. If VTOIA[1:0] = 10, the voltage is directed to the
Phase C path. If VTOIA[1:0] = 11, the ADE7878 behaves as if
VTOIA[1:0] = 00.
Bits[11:10] (VTOIB[1:0]) of the CONFIG register manage the
Phase B voltage measured at the VB pin. If VTOIB[1:0] = 00
(default value), the voltage is directed to the Phase B computational datapath. If VTOIB[1:0] = 01, the voltage is directed to
the Phase C path. If VTOIB[1:0] = 10, the voltage is directed to
the Phase A path. If VTOIB[1:0] = 11, the ADE78xx behaves
as if VTOIB[1:0] = 00.
Bits[13:12] (VTOIC[1:0]) of the CONFIG register manage the
Phase C voltage measured at the VC pin. If VTOIC[1:0] = 00
(default value), the voltage is directed to Phase C computational
datapath, if VTOIC[1:0] = 01, the voltage is directed to the
Phase A path. If VTOIC[1:0] = 10, the voltage is directed to the
Phase B path. If VTOIC[1:0] = 11, the ADE78xx behaves as if

POWER QUALITY MEASUREMENTS
Zero-Crossing Detection
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have a zerocrossing (ZX) detection circuit on the phase current and voltage
channels. The neutral current datapath does not contain a zerocrossing detection circuit. Zero-crossing events are used as a
time base for various power quality measurements and in the
calibration process.
The output of LPF1 is used to generate zero crossing events.
The low-pass filter is intended to eliminate all harmonics of
50 Hz and 60 Hz systems, and to help identify the zero-crossing
events on the fundamental components of both current and
voltage channels.
The digital filter has a pole at 80 Hz and is clocked at 256 kHz.
As a result, there is a phase lag between the analog input signal
(one of IA, IB, IC, VA, VB, and VC) and the output of LPF1.
The error in ZX detection is 0.0703° for 50 Hz systems (0.0843°
for 60 Hz systems). The phase lag response of LPF1 results in a
time delay of approximately 31.4° or 1.74 ms (at 50 Hz) between
its input and output. The overall delay between the zero crossing
on the analog inputs and ZX detection obtained after LPF1 is
about 39.6° or 2.2 ms (at 50 Hz). The ADC and HPF introduce
the additional delay. The LPF1 cannot be disabled to assure a
good resolution of the ZX detection. Figure 41 shows how the
zero-crossing signal is detected.

interrupt pin is driven low
and the corresponding status flag is set to 1. The status bit is

Zero-Crossing Timeout
Every zero-crossing detection circuit has an associated timeout
register. This register is loaded with the value written into the
16-bit ZXTOUT register and is decremented (1 LSB) every
62.5 µs (16 kHz clock). The register is reset to the ZXTOUT
value every time a zero crossing is detected. The default value of
this register is 0xFFFF. If the timeout register decrements to 0
before a zero crossing is detected, one of Bits[8:3] of the
STATUS1 register is set to 1. Bit 3 (ZXTOVA), Bit 4 (ZXTOVB),
and Bit 5 (ZXTOVC) in the STATUS1 register refer to Phase A,
Phase B, and Phase C of the voltage channel; Bit 6 (ZXTOIA),
Bit 7 (ZXTOIB), and Bit 8 (ZXTOIC) in the STATUS1 register
refer to Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C of the current channel.
If a ZXTOIx or ZXTOVx bit is set in the MASK1 register, the
IRQ1
interrupt pin is driven low when the corresponding status bit
IRQ1
is set to 1. The status bit is cleared and the
pin is returned to
high by writing to the STATUS1 register with the status bit set to 1.
The resolution of the ZXOUT register is 62.5 µs (16 kHz clock)
per LSB. Thus, the maximum timeout period for an interrupt is
16
4.096 sec: 2
/16 kHz.
Figure 42 shows the mechanism of the zero-crossing timeout
detection when the voltage or the current signal stays at a fixed
dc level for more than 62.5 µs × ZXTOUT µs.

To provide further protection from noise, input signals to the
voltage channel with amplitude lower than 10% of full scale do
not generate zero-crossing events at all. The Current Channel ZX
detection circuit is active for all input signals independent of their
amplitudes.
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain six zerocrossing detection circuits, one for each phase voltage and
current channel. Each circuit drives one flag in the STATUS1
register. If a circuit placed in the Phase A voltage channel
detects one zero-crossing event, Bit 9 (ZXVA) in the STATUS1
register is set to 1.

Phase Sequence Detection
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have on-chip
phase sequence error detection circuits. This detection works
on phase voltages and considers only the zero crossings
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
R
determined by their negative-to-positive transitions. The regular
succession of these zero-crossing events is Phase A followed by
Phase B followed by Phase C (see Figure 44). If the sequence of
zero-crossing events is, instead, Phase A followed by Phase C
followed by Phase B, then Bit 19 (SEQERR) in the STATUS1
register is set.
If Bit 19 (SEQERR) in the MASK1 register is set to 1 and a
IRQ1
phase sequence error event is triggered, the
is driven low. The status bit is cleared and the
interrupt pin
IRQ1
pin is set
high by writing to the STATUS1 register with the Status Bit 19
(SEQERR) set to 1.
The phase sequence error detection circuit is functional only
when the ADE78xx is connected in a 3-phase, 4-wire, three voltage
sensors configuration (Bits[5:4], CONSEL[1:0] in the ACCMODE
register, set to 00). In all other configurations, only two voltage
sensors are used; therefore, it is not recommended to use the
detection circuit. In these cases, use the time intervals between
phase voltages to analyze the phase sequence (see the Time
Interval Between Phases section for details).
Figure 43 presents the case in which Phase A voltage is not
followed by Phase B voltage but by Phase C voltage. Every time
a negative-to-positive zero crossing occurs, Bit 19 (SEQERR) in
the STATUS1 register is set to 1 because such zero crossings on
Phase C, Phase B, or Phase A cannot come after zero crossings
from Phase A, Phase C, or respectively, Phase B zero crossings.
PHASE CPHASE BPHASE A
Time Interval Between Phases
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have the capability to measure the time delay between phase voltages, between
phase currents, or between voltages and currents of the same
phase. The negative-to-positive transitions identified by the zerocrossing detection circuit are used as start and stop measuring
points. Only one set of such measurements is available at one time,
based on Bits[10:9] (ANGLESEL[1:0]) in the COMPMODE
register.

When the ANGLESEL[1:0] bits are set to 00, the default value,
the delays between voltages and currents on the same phase are
measured. The delay between Phase A voltage and Phase A

Figure 45 for details). In a similar way, the delays between voltages
and currents on Phase B and Phase C are stored in the ANGLE1
and ANGLE2 registers, respectively.

Once a phase sequence error has been detected, the time

(VTOIB[1:0]), and Bits[13:12] (VTOIC[1:0]) in the CONFIG
register can be used to direct one phase voltage to the datapath
of another phase. See the Changing Phase Voltage Datapath
section for details.

When the ANGLESEL[1:0] bits are set to 01, the delays between
phase voltages are measured. The delay between Phase A voltage
and Phase C voltage is stored into the ANGLE0 register. The
delay between Phase B voltage and Phase C voltage is stored in
the ANGLE1 register, and the delay between Phase A voltage
and Phase B voltage is stored in the ANGLE2 register (see
08510-029
Figure 46 for details).
When the ANGLESEL[1:0] bits are set to 10, the delays between
phase currents are measured. Similar to delays between phase
voltages, the delay between Phase A and Phase C currents is stored
into the ANGLE0 register, the delay between Phase B and Phase C
currents is stored in the ANGLE1 register, and the delay between
Phase A and Phase B currents is stored into the ANGLE2
register (see Figure 46 for details).

The ANGLE0, ANGLE1, and ANGLE2 registers are 16-bit

256 kHz) for 60 Hz systems. The delays between phase voltages
or phase currents are used to characterize how balanced the

Period Measurement
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 provide the
period measurement of the line in the voltage channel. Bits[1:0]
(PERSEL[1:0]) in the MMODE register select the phase voltage
used for this measurement. The period register is a 16-bit
unsigned register and updates every line period. Because of the
LPF1 filter (see Figure 41), a settling time of 30 ms to 40 ms is
associated with this filter before the measurement is stable.
The period measurement has a resolution of 3.90625 s/LSB
(256 kHz clock), which represents 0.0195% (50 Hz/256 kHz)
when the line frequency is 50 Hz and 0.0234% (60 Hz/256 kHz)
when the line frequency is 60 Hz. The value of the period register
for 50 Hz networks is approximately 5120 (256 kHz/50 Hz) and
for 60 Hz networks is approximately 4267 (256 kHz/60 Hz). The
length of the register enables the measurement of line frequencies
16
as low as 3.9 Hz (256 kHz/2
). The period register is stable at
±1 LSB when the line is established and the measurement does
not change.

Phase Voltage Sag Detection
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can be programmed to detect when the absolute value of any phase voltage
drops below a certain peak value for a number of half-line cycles.
The phase where this event takes place is identified in Bits[14:12]
(VSPHASE[x]) of the PHSTATUS register. This condition is
illustrated in Figure 47.

Figure 47 shows Phase A voltage falling below a threshold that
is set in the SAG level register (SAGLVL) for four half-line cycles
(SAGCYC = 4). When Bit 16 (SAG) in the STATUS1 register is set
to 1 to indicate the condition, Bit VSPHASE[0] in the PHSTATUS
register is also set to 1 because the event happened on Phase A
Bit 16 (SAG) in the STATUS1 register. All Bits[14:12] (VSPHASE[2],
VSPHASE[1], and VSPHASE[0]) of the PHSTATUS register (not
just the VSPHASE[0] bit) are erased by writing the STATUS1
register with the SAG bit set to 1.
The SAGCYC register represents the number of half-line cycles
the phase voltage must remain below the level indicated in the
SAGLVL register to trigger a SAG condition; 0 is not a valid
number for SAGCYC. For example, when the SAG cycle
(SAGCYC[7:0]) contains 0x07, the SAG flag in the STATUS1
register is set at the end of the seventh half line cycle for which
the line voltage falls below the threshold. If Bit 16 (SAG) in
08510-033
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
MASK1 is set, the
IRQ1
interrupt pin is driven low in case of a
SAG event in the same moment the Status Bit 16 (SAG) in
STATUS1 register is set to 1. The SAG status bit in the STATUS1
register and all Bits[14:12] (VSPHASE[2], VSPHASE[1], and
VSPHASE[0]]) of the PHSTATUS register are cleared, and the
IRQ1
pin is returned to high by writing to the STATUS1
register with the status bit set to 1.
When the Phase B voltage falls below the indicated threshold
into the SAGLVL register for two line cycles, Bit VSPHASE[1]
in the PHSTATUS register is set to 1, and Bit VSPHASE[0] is
cleared to 0. Simultaneously, Bit 16 (SAG) in the STATUS1 register
is set to 1 to indicate the condition.
Note that the internal zero-crossing counter is always active. By
setting the SAGLVL register, the first SAG detection result is,
therefore, not executed across a full SAGCYC period. Writing to
the SAGCYC register when the SAGLVL register is already initialized resets the zero-crossing counter, thus ensuring that the first
SAG detection result is obtained across a full SAGCYC period.
The recommended procedure to manage SAG events is the
following:
Enable SAG interrupts in the MASK1 register by setting
1.
Bit 16 (SAG) to 1.
When a SAG event happens, the
2.
IRQ1
interrupt pin goes
low and Bit 16 (SAG) in the STATUS1 is set to 1.
The STATUS1 register is read with Bit 16 (SAG) set to 1.
3.
The PHSTATUS register is read, identifying on which
4.
phase or phases a SAG event happened.
5.
The STATUS1 register is written with Bit 16 (SAG) set to 1.
Immediately, the SAG bit and all Bits[14:12] (VSPHASE[2],
VSPHASE[1], and VSPHASE[0]) of the PHSTATUS register
are erased.
SAG Level Set
The content of the SAGLVL[23:0] SAG level register is compared
to the absolute value of the output from HPF. Writing 5,928,256
(0x5A7540) to the SAGLVL register, puts the SAG detection
level at full scale (see the Voltage Channel ADC section), thus;
the SAG event is triggered continuously. Writing 0x00 or 0x01
puts the SAG detection level at 0, therefore, the SAG event is
never triggered.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.
Similar to the register presented in Figure 34, the SAGLVL
register is accessed as a 32-bit register with eight MSBs padded
with 0s.
Peak Detection
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 record the
maximum absolute values reached by the voltage and current
channels over a certain number of half-line cycles and stores
them into the less significant 24 bits of the VPEAK and IPEAK
32-bit registers.
The PEAKCYC register contains the number of half-line cycles
used as a time base for the measurement. The circuit uses the
zero-crossing points identified by the zero-crossing detection
circuit. Bits[4:2] (PEAKSEL[2:0]) in the MMODE register select
the phases upon which the peak measurement is performed. Bit 2
selects Phase A, Bit 3 selects Phase B, and Bit 4 selects Phase C.
Selecting more than one phase to monitor the peak values
decreases proportionally the measurement period indicated in
the PEAKCYC register because zero crossings from more
phases are involved in the process. When a new peak value is
determined, one of Bits[26:24] (IPPHASE[2:0] or VPPHASE[2:0])
in the IPEAK and VPEAK registers is set to 1, identifying the
phase that triggered the peak detection event. For example, if a
peak value has been identified on Phase A current, Bit 24
(IPPHASE[0]) in the IPEAK register is set to 1. If next time a
new peak value is measured on Phase B, Bit 24 (IPPHASE[0])
of the IPEAK register is cleared to 0, and Bit 25 (IPPHASE[1])
of the IPEAK register is set to 1. Figure 48 shows the composition
of the IPEAK and VPEAK registers.

Figure 49 shows how the ADE78xx records the peak value on the
current channel when measurements on Phase A and Phase B are
enabled (Bit PEAKSEL[2:0] in the MMODE register are 011).
PEAKCYC is set to 16, meaning that the peak measurement
cycle is four line periods. The maximum absolute value of Phase A
is the greatest during the first four line periods (PEAKCYC = 16),
so the maximum absolute value is written into the less significant 24 bits of the IPEAK register, and Bit 24 (IPPHASE[0]) of
the IPEAK register is set to 1 at the end of the period. This bit
remains at 1 for the duration of the second PEAKCYC period of
four line cycles. The maximum absolute value of Phase B is the
greatest during the second PEAKCYC period; therefore, the
maximum absolute value is written into the less significant
24 bits of the IPEAK register, and Bit 25 (IPPHASE[1]) in the
IPEAK register is set to 1 at the end of the period.
At the end of the peak detection period in the current channel,
Bit 23 (PKI) in the STATUS1 register is set to 1. If Bit 23 (PKI)
IRQ1
in the MASK1 register is set, the
interrupt pin is driven low
at the end of PEAKCYC period and Status Bit 23 (PKI) in the
STATUS1 register is set to 1. In a similar way, at the end of the
peak detection period in the voltage channel, Bit 24 (PKV) in the
STATUS1 register is set to 1. If Bit 24 (PKV) in the MASK1
IRQ1
register is set, the
interrupt pin is driven low at the end of
PEAKCYC period and Status Bit 24 (PKV) in the STATUS1
register is set to 1. To find the phase that triggered the interrupt,
one of either the IPEAK or VPEAK registers is read immediately
after reading the STATUS1 register. Next, the status bits are
IRQ1
cleared, and the
pin is set to high by writing to the
STATUS1 register with the status bit set to 1.
Note that the internal zero-crossing counter is always active. By
setting Bits[4:2] (PEAKSEL[2:0]) in the MMODE register, the
first peak detection result is, therefore, not executed across a full
PEAKCYC period. Writing to the PEAKCYC register when the
PEAKSEL[2:0] bits are set resets the zero-crossing counter,
thereby ensuring that the first peak detection result is obtained
across a full PEAKCYC period.
Overvoltage and Overcurrent Detection
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 detect when the
instantaneous absolute value measured on the voltage and
current channels becomes greater than the thresholds set in the
OVLVL and OILVL 24-bit unsigned registers. If Bit 18 (OV) in
IRQ1
the MASK1 register is set, the
interrupt pin is driven low
in case of an overvoltage event. There are two status flags set
IRQ1
when the
interrupt pin is driven low: Bit 18 (OV) in the
STATUS1 register and one of Bits[11:9] (OVPHASE[2:0]) in the
PHSTATUS register to identify the phase that generated the
overvoltage. The Status Bit 18 (OV) in the STATUS1 register
and all Bits[11:9] (OVPHASE[2:0]) in the PHSTATUS register
IRQ1
are cleared, and the
STATUS1 register with the status bit set to 1. presents
pin is set to high by writing to the

Whenever the absolute instantaneous value of the voltage goes
above the threshold from the OVLVL register, Bit 18 (OV) in
the STATUS1 register and Bit 9 (OVPHASE[0]) in the PHSTATUS
register are set to 1. Bit 18 (OV) of the STATUS1 register and
Bit 9 (OVPHASE[0]) in the PHSTATUS register are cancelled
when the STATUS1 register is written with Bit 18 (OV) set to 1.
The recommended procedure to manage overvoltage events is
the following:
Enable OV interrupts in the MASK1 register by setting
1.
Bit 18 (OV) to 1.
When an overvoltage event happens, the
2.
IRQ1
interrupt
pin goes low.
The STATUS1 register is read with Bit 18 (OV) set to 1.
3.
The PHSTATUS register is read, identifying on which

5.
The STATUS1 register is written with Bit 18 (OV) set to 1.
In this moment, Bit OV is erased and also all Bits[11:9]
(OVPHASE[2:0]) of the PHSTATUS register.
In case of an overcurrent event, if Bit 17 (OI) in the MASK1
register is set, the
IRQ1
interrupt pin is driven low. Immediately,
Bit 17 (OI) in the STATUS1 register and one of Bits[5:3]
(OIPHASE[2:0]) in the PHSTATUS register, which identify
the phase that generated the interrupt, are set. To find the
phase that triggered the interrupt, the PHSTATUS register
is read immediately after reading the STATUS1 register. Next,
Status Bit 17 (OI) in the STATUS1 register and Bits[5:3]
(OIPHASE[2:0]) in the PHSTATUS register are cleared and the
IRQ1
pin is set to high by writing to the STATUS1 register with
the status bit set to 1. The process is similar with overvoltage
detection.

Overvoltage and Overcurrent Level Set
The content of the overvoltage (OVLVL), and overcurrent,
(OILVL) 24-bit unsigned registers is compared to the absolute
value of the voltage and current channels. The maximum value of
these registers is the maximum value of the HPF outputs:
+5,928,256 (0x5A7540). When the OVLVL or OILVL register is
equal to this value, the overvoltage or overcurrent conditions
are never detected. Writing 0x0 to these registers signifies the
overvoltage or overcurrent conditions are continuously detected,
and the corresponding interrupts are permanently triggered.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words.
Similar to the register presented in Figure 34, OILVL and
OVLVL registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the eight
MSBs padded with 0s.
Neutral Current Mismatch—ADE7868, ADE7878
Neutral current mismatch is available in the ADE7868 and
ADE7878 only. In 3-phase systems, the neutral current is equal
to the algebraic sum of the phase currents
(t) = IA(t) + IB(t) + IC(t)
I
N
If there is a mismatch between these two quantities, then a
tamper situation may have occurred in the system.
The ADE7868/ADE7878 compute the sum of the phase
currents adding the content of the IAWV, IBWV, and ICWV
registers, and storing the result into the ISUM 28-bit signed
register: I
(t) = IA(t) + IB(t) + IC(t). ISUM is computed every
SUM
125 µs (8 kHz frequency), the rate at which the current samples
are available, and Bit 17 (DREADY) in the STATUS0 register is
used to signal when the ISUM register can be read. See the
Digital Signal Processor section for more details on Bit DREADY.
To re cov e r I

The ADE7868/ADE7878 compute the difference between the
absolute values of ISUM and the neutral current from the
INWV register, take its absolute value and compare it against
the ISUMLVL threshold. If
ISUMLVLINWVISUM≤−,
then it is assumed that the neutral current is equal to the sum
of the phase currents, and the system functions correctly. If
ISUMLVLINWVISUM>−, then a tamper situation may
have occurred, and Bit 20 (MISMTCH) in the STATUS1 register
is set to 1. An interrupt attached to the flag can be enabled by
setting Bit 20 (MISMTCH) in the MASK1 register. If enabled,
IRQ1
the
pin is set low when Status Bit MISMTCH is set to 1.
The status bit is cleared and the

ISUMLVL, the positive threshold used in the process, is a 24-bit
signed register. Because it is used in a comparison with an
absolute value, always set ISUMLVL as a positive number,
somewhere between 0x00000 and 0x7FFFFF. ISUMLVL uses
the same scale of the current ADCs outputs, so writing
+5,928,256 (0x5A7540) to the ISUMLVL register puts the
mismatch detection level at full scale; see the Current Channel
ADC section for details. Writing 0x000000, the default value, or
a negative value, signifies the MISMTCH event is always triggered.
The right value for the application should be written into the
ISUMLVL register after power-up or after a hardware/software
reset to avoid continuously triggering MISMTCH events.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit
words and the DSP works on 28 bits. As presented in Figure 51,
ISUM, the 28-bit signed register, is accessed as a 32-bit register
with the four most significant bits padded with 0s.

PHASE COMPENSATION
As described in the Current Channel ADC and Voltage Channel
ADC sections, the datapath for both current and voltages is the
same. The phase error between current and voltage signals
introduced by the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is
negligible. However, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
must work with transducers that may have inherent phase
errors. For example, a current transformer (CT) with a phase
error of 0.1° to 3° is not uncommon. These phase errors can
vary from part to part, and they must be corrected to perform
accurate power calculations.
The errors associated with phase mismatch are particularly
noticeable at low power factors. The ADE78xx provides a means
of digitally calibrating these small phase errors. The ADE78xx
allows a small time delay or time advance to be introduced into
the signal processing chain to compensate for the small phase
errors.

The phase calibration registers (APHCAL, BPHCAL, and
CPHCAL) are 10-bit registers that can vary the time advance
in the voltage channel signal path from −374.0 µs to +61.5 s.
Negative values written to the PHCAL registers represent a time
advance whereas positive values represent a time delay. One LSB
is equivalent to 0.976 µs of time delay or time advance (clock
rate of 1.024 MHz). With a line frequency of 60 Hz, this gives
a phase resolution of 0.0211° (360° × 60 Hz/1.024 MHz) at the
fundamental. This corresponds to a total correction range of
−8.079° to +1.329° at 60 Hz. At 50 Hz, the correction range is
−6.732° to +1.107° and the resolution is 0.0176° (360° × 50 Hz/
1.024 MHz).
Given a phase error of x degrees, measured using the phase
voltage as the reference, the corresponding LSBs are computed
dividing x by the phase resolution (0.0211°/LSB for 60 Hz and
0.0176°/LSB for 50 Hz). Results between −383 and +63 only are
acceptable; numbers outside this range are not accepted. If the
result is negative, the absolute value is written into the PHCAL
registers. If the result is positive, 512 is added to the result
before writing it into xPHCAL.

Figure 53 illustrates how the phase compensation is used to remove
x = −1° phase lead in IA of the current channel from the external
current transducer (equivalent of 55.5 µs for 50 Hz systems). To
cancel the lead (1°) in the current channel of Phase A, a phase
lead must be introduced into the corresponding voltage channel.
Using Equation 8, APHCAL is 57 least significant bits, rounded
up from 56.8. The phase lead is achieved by introducing a time
delay of 55.73 µs into the Phase A current.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the

REFERENCE CIRCUIT
The nominal reference voltage at the REF
0.075% V. This is the reference voltage used for the ADCs in
the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878. The REF
pin can be overdriven by an external source, for example, an
external 1.2 V reference. The voltage of the ADE78xx reference
drifts slightly with temperature; see the Specifications section for
the temperature coefficient specification (in ppm/°C). The value of
the temperature drift varies from part to part. Because the reference is used for all ADCs, any x% drift in the reference results in
a 2x% deviation of the meter accuracy. The reference drift resulting
from temperature changes is usually very small and typically
much smaller than the drift of other components on a meter.
Alternatively, the meter can be calibrated at multiple temperatures.
If Bit 0 (EXTREFEN) in the CONFIG2 register is cleared to 0 (the
default value), the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 use
the internal voltage reference. If the bit is set to 1, the external
voltage reference is used. Set the CONFIG2 register during the
PSM0 mode. Its value is maintained during the PSM1, PSM2, and
PSM3 power modes.

IN/OUT
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain a fixed
function digital signal processor (DSP) that computes all powers
and rms values. It contains program memory ROM and data
memory RAM.
The program used for the power and rms computations is
stored in the program memory ROM and the processor executes
it every 8 kHz. The end of the computations is signaled by
setting Bit 17 (DREADY) to 1 in the STATUS0 register. An
interrupt attached to this flag can be enabled by setting Bit 17
IRQ0
(DREADY) in the MASK0 register. If enabled, the
set low and Status Bit DREADY is set to 1 at the end of the
computations. The status bit is cleared and the
IRQ0
to high by writing to the STATUS0 register with Bit 17 (DREADY)
set to 1.
The registers used by the DSP are located in the data memory
RAM, at addresses between 0x4380 and 0x43BE. The width of
this memory is 28 bits. Within the DSP core, the DSP contains a
two stage pipeline. This means that when a single register needs
to be initialized, two more writes are required to ensure the
value has been written into RAM, and if two or more registers
need to be initialized, the last register must be written two more
times to ensure the value has been written into RAM.
As explained in the Power-Up Procedure section, at power-up
or after a hardware or software reset, the DSP is in idle mode.
No instruction is executed. All the registers located in the data
memory RAM are initialized at 0, their default values, and they
can be read/written without any restriction. The run register,
used to start and stop the DSP, is cleared to 0x0000. The run
register needs to be written with 0x0001 for the DSP to start
code execution. It is recommended to first initialize all ADE78xx
registers located in the data memory RAM with their desired
pin is

values. Next, write the last register in the queue two additional
times to flush the pipeline, and then write the run register with
0x0001. In this way, the DSP starts the computations from a
desired configuration.
To protect the integrity of the data stored in the data memory
RAM of the DSP (addresses between 0x4380 and 0x43BE), a
write protection mechanism is available. By default, the
protection is disabled and registers placed between 0x4380 and
0x43BE can be written without restriction. When the protection
is enabled, no writes to these registers is allowed. Registers can
be always read, without restriction, independent of the write
protection state.
To enable the protection, write 0xAD to an internal 8-bit
register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of 0x80
to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3.
It is recommended to enable the write protection before starting
the DSP. If any data memory RAM based register needs to be
changed, simply disable the protection, change the value and
then re-enable the protection. There is no need to stop the DSP
to change these registers.
To disable the protection, write 0xAD to an internal 8-bit
register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of 0x00
to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3.
The recommended procedure to initialize the registers located
in the data memory RAM is as follows:
• Initialize all registers. Write the last register in the queue
three times to ensure its value was written into the RAM.
Initialize all of the other registers of the ADE7854/ADE7858/
ADE7868/ADE7878 here as well.
• Enable the write protection by writing 0xAD to an internal
8-bit register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of
0x80 to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3.
• Read back all data memory RAM registers to ensure they
were initialized with the desired values.
• In the remote case that one or more registers are not initia-
lized correctly, disable the protection by writing 0xAD to
an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed
by a write of 0x00 to an internal 8-bit register located at
Address 0xE7E3. Reinitialize the registers. Write the last
register in the queue three times. Enable the write protection by writing 0xAD to an internal 8-bit register located
at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of 0x80 to an internal
8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3..
• Start the DSP by setting run = 1.
There is no obvious reason to stop the DSP if the ADE78xx is
maintained in PSM0 normal mode. All ADE78xx registers,
including ones located in the data memory RAM, can be
modified without stopping the DSP. However, to stop the DSP,
0x0000 has to be written into run register. To restart the DSP,
one of the following procedures must be followed:
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
π
• If the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers
located in the data memory RAM have not been modified,
write 0x0001 into the run register to start the DSP.
• If the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers
located in the data memory RAM have to be modified, first
execute a software or a hardware reset, initialize all
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers at
desired values, enable the write protection, and then write
0x0001 into the run register to start the DSP.
As mentioned in the Power Management section, when the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 switch out of PSM0
power mode, it is recommended to stop the DSP by writing
0x0000 into the run register (see Table 1 1 and Tab l e 12 for
the recommended actions when changing power modes).
The rms calculation based on this method is simultaneously
processed on all seven analog input channels. Each result is
available in the 24-bit registers: AIRMS, BIRMS, CIRMS,
AVRMS, BVRMS, CVRMS, and NIRMS (NIRMS is available
on the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only).
The second method computes the absolute value of the input
signal and then filters it to extract its dc component. It computes
the absolute mean value of the input. If the input signal in
Equation 12 has a fundamental component only, its average
value is

ROOT MEAN SQUARE MEASUREMENT
Root mean square (rms) is a measurement of the magnitude of
an ac signal. Its definition can be both practical and mathematical.
Defined practically, the rms value assigned to an ac signal is the
amount of dc required to produce an equivalent amount of
power in the load. Mathematically, the rms value of a continuous signal f(t) is defined as

Equation 10 implies that for signals containing harmonics, the
rms calculation contains the contribution of all harmonics, not
only the fundamental. The ADE78xx uses two different methods
to calculate rms values. The first one is very accurate and is active
only in PSM0 mode. The second one is less accurate, uses the
estimation of the mean absolute value (mav) measurement, is
active in PSM0 and PSM1 modes, and is available for the
ADE7868 and ADE7878 only.
The first method is to low-pass filter the square of the input
signal (LPF) and take the square root of the result (see Figure 54).

The calculation based on this method is simultaneously processed
only on the three phase currents. Each result is available in the
20-bit registers, which are available on the AE7868 and ADE7878
only: AIMAV, BMAV, and CMAV. Note that the proportionality
between mav and rms values is maintained for the fundamental
components only. If harmonics are present in the current channel,
the mean absolute value is no longer proportional to rms.
Current RMS Calculation
This section presents the first approach to compute the rms
values of all phase and neutral currents.
Figure 54 shows the detail of the signal processing chain for the
rms calculation on one of the phases of the current channel.
The current channel rms value is processed from the samples
used in the current channel. The current rms values are signed
24-bit values and they are stored into the AIRMS, BIRMS, CIRMS,
and NIRMS (ADE7868/ADE7878 only) registers. The update
rate of the current rms measurement is 8 kHz.
With the specified full-scale analog input signal of 0.5 V, the
ADC produces an output code that is approximately ±5,928,256.
The equivalent rms value of a full-scale sinusoidal signal is
4,191,910 (0x3FF6A6), independent of the line frequency. If
the integrator is enabled, that is, when Bit 0 (INTEN) in the
CONFIG register is set to 1, the equivalent rms value of a fullscale sinusoidal signal at 50 Hz is 4,191,910 (0x3FF6A6) and at
60 Hz is 3,493,258 (0x354D8A).
The accuracy of the current rms is typically 0.1% error from
the full-scale input down to 1/1000 of the full-scale input when
PGA = 1. Additionally, this measurement has a bandwidth of
2 kHz. It is recommended to read the rms registers synchronous
to the voltage zero crossings to ensure stability. The

interrupt can be used to indicate when a zero crossing has occurred
(see the section). shows the settling time for

Current RMS Offset Compensation
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 incorporate a
current rms offset compensation register for each phase:
AIRMSOS, BIRMSOS, CIRMSOS registers, and the NIRMSOS
register for ADE7878 and ADE7868 only. These are 24-bit
signed registers that are used to remove offsets in the current
rms calculations. An offset can exist in the rms calculation due
to input noises that are integrated in the dc component of I

(t).
The current rms offset compensation register is added to the
squared current rms before the square root is executed. Assuming
that the maximum value from the current rms calculation is
4,191,400 with full-scale ac inputs (50 Hz), one LSB of the current

Current Mean Absolute Value Calculation—ADE7868

This section presents the second approach to estimate the rms
values of all phase currents using the mean absolute value (mav)
method. This approach is used in PSM1 mode, which is available
to the ADE7868 and ADE7878 only, to allow energy accumulation based on current rms values when the missing neutral
case demonstrates to be a tamper attack. This datapath is active
also in PSM0 mode to allow for its gain calibration. The gain is
used in the external microprocessor during PSM1 mode. The
mav value of the neutral current is not computed using this
method. Figure 55 shows the details of the signal processing
chain for the mav calculation on one of the phases of the current
channel.

there is a 1.25% variation between the mav estimate at 45 Hz
and the one at 65 Hz for full-scale sinusoidal inputs. The accuracy
of the current mav is typically 0.5% error from the full-scale
input down to 1/100 of the full-scale input. Additionally, this
measurement has a bandwidth of 2 kHz. The settling time for
the current mav measurement, that is the time it takes for the
mav register to reflect the value at the input to the current
channel within 0.5% error, is 500 ms.

The current rms values stored in the AIMAV, BIMAV, and

coefficients corresponding to each phase. It is recommended to
calculate the gains in PSM0 mode by supplying the ADE7868/
ADE7878 with nominal currents. The offsets can be estimated
by supplying the ADE7868/ADE7878 with low currents, usually
equal to the minimum value at which the accuracy is required.

ACTIVE POWER CALCULATION
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 compute the
total active power on every phase. Total active power considers
in its calculation all fundamental and harmonic components of
the voltages and currents. In addition, the ADE7878 computes
the fundamental active power, the power determined only by
the fundamental components of the voltages and currents.
Total Active Power Calculation
Electrical power is defined as the rate of energy flow from source
to load, and it is given by the product of the voltage and current
waveforms. The resulting waveform is called the instantaneous
power signal, and it is equal to the rate of energy flow at every
instant of time. The unit of power is the watt or joules/sec. If an
ac system is supplied by a voltage, v(t), and consumes the current,
i(t), and each of them contains harmonics, then

LPF2, the low-pass filter.

Because LPF2 does not have an ideal brick wall frequency
response (see Figure 61), the active power signal has some
ripple due to the instantaneous power signal. This ripple is
sinusoidal and has a frequency equal to twice the line frequency.
Because the ripple is sinusoidal in nature, it is removed when
the active power signal is integrated over time to calculate the
energy.

Fundamental Active Power Calculation—ADE7878 Only
The ADE7878 computes the fundamental active power using
a proprietary algorithm that requires some initializations function
of the frequency of the network and its nominal voltage measured
in the voltage channel. Bit 14 (SELFREQ) in the COMPMODE
register must be set according to the frequency of the network in
which the ADE7878 is connected. If the network frequency is
50 Hz, clear this bit to 0 (the default value). If the network frequency is 60 Hz, set this bit to 1. In addition, initialize the VLEVEL
24-bit signed register with a positive value based on the
following expression:

and the DSP works on 28 bits. Similar to the registers presented
in Figure 33, the VLEVEL 24-bit signed register is accessed as a
32-bit register with four most significant bits padded with 0s

Note that the average active power result from the LPF2 output
in each phase can be scaled by ±100% by writing to the phase’s

AFWGAIN, BFWGAIN, or CFWGAIN). The xWGAIN
registers are placed in each phase of the total active power
datapath, and the xFWGAIN (available for the ADE7878 only)
registers are placed in each phase of the fundamental active
power datapath. The watt gain registers are twos complement,

The output is scaled by −50% by writing 0xC00000 to the watt

to them. These registers are used to calibrate the active power
(or energy) calculation in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/
ADE7878 for each phase.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words, and the DSP works on 28 bits.
Similar to registers presented in Figure 33, AWGAIN, BWGAIN,
CWGAIN, AFWGAIN, BFWGAIN, and CFWGAIN 24-bit
signed registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the four
MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.
Active Power Offset Calibration
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 incorporate a
watt offset 24-bit register on each phase and on each active
power. The AWATTOS, BWATTOS, and CWATTOS registers
compensate the offsets in the total active power calculations,
and the AFWATTOS, BFWATTOS, and CFWATTOS registers
compensate offsets in the fundamental active power calculations.
These are signed twos complement, 24-bit registers that are
used to remove offsets in the active power calculations. An
offset can exist in the power calculation due to crosstalk between
channels on the PCB or in the chip itself. One LSB in the active
power offset register is equivalent to 1 LSB in the active power
multiplier output. With full-scale current and voltage inputs,
the LPF2 output is PMAX = 33,516,139. At −80 dB down from
the full scale (active power scaled down 10
the active power offset register represents 0.0298% of PMAX.

Sign of Active Power Calculation
The average active power is a signed calculation. If the phase
difference between the current and voltage waveform is more
than 90°, the average power becomes negative. Negative power
indicates that energy is being injected back on the grid. The
ADE78xx has sign detection circuitry for total active power
calculations. It can monitor the total active powers or the
fundamental active powers. As described in the Active Energy
Calculation section, the active energy accumulation is performed
in two stages. Every time a sign change is detected in the energy
accumulation at the end of the first stage, that is, after the energy
accumulated into the internal accumulator reaches the WTHR
register threshold, a dedicated interrupt is triggered. The sign of
each phase active power can be read in the PHSIGN register.
Bit 6 (REVAPSEL) in the ACCMODE register sets the type of
active power being monitored. When REVAPSEL is 0, the
default value, the total active power is monitored. When
REVAPSEL is 1, the fundamental active power is monitored.
Bits[8:6] (REVAPC, REVAPB, and REVAPA, respectively) in the
STATUS0 register are set when a sign change occurs in the
power selected by Bit 6 (REVAPSEL) in the ACCMODE
register.
Bits[2:0] (CWSIGN, BWSIGN, and AWSIGN, respectively) in
the PHSIGN register are set simultaneously with the REVAPC,
REVAPB, and REVAPA bits. They indicate the sign of the power.
When they are 0, the corresponding power is positive. When
they are 1, the corresponding power is negative.
Bit REVAPx of STATUS0 and Bit xWSIGN in the PHSIGN
register refer to the total active power of Phase x, the power type
being selected by Bit 6 (REVAPSEL) in the ACCMODE register.
Interrupts attached to Bits[8:6] (REVAPC, REVAPB, and REVAPA,
respectively) in the STATUS0 register can be enabled by setting
IRQ0
Bits[8:6] in the MASK0 register. If enabled, the

Active Energy Calculation
As previously stated, power is defined as the rate of energy flow.
This relationship can be expressed mathematically as
Power =
Conversely, energy is given as the integral of power, as follows:
Total and fundamental active energy accumulations are always
signed operations. Negative energy is subtracted from the active
energy contents.

The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 achieve the
integration of the active power signal in two stages (see Figure 62).
The process is identical for both total and fundamental active
powers. The first stage is accomplished inside the DSP: every
125 µs (8 kHz frequency) the instantaneous phase total or fundamental active power is accumulated into an internal register.
When a threshold is reached, a pulse is generated at the processor
port, and the threshold is subtracted from the internal register.
The sign of the energy in this moment is considered the sign of
the active power (see Sign of Active Power Calculation section
for details). The second stage is done outside the DSP and consists
of accumulating the pulses generated by the processor into internal
32-bit accumulation registers. The content of these registers is
transferred to watt-hour registers, xWATTHR and xFWATTHR,
when these registers are accessed.

content can roll over to full-scale negative (0x80000000) and
continue increasing in value when the active power is positive.
Conversely, if the active power is negative, the energy register
underflows to full-scale positive (0x7FFFFFFF) and continues
decreasing in value.
Bit 0 (AEHF) in the STATUS0 register is set when Bit 30 of
one of the xWATTHR registers changes, signifying one of these
registers is half full. If the active power is positive, the watt-hour
register becomes half full when it increments from 0x3FFF FFFF to
0x4000 0000. If the active power is negative, the watt-hour
register becomes half full when it decrements from 0xC000
0000 to 0xBFFF FFFF. Similarly, Bit 1 (FAEHF) in STATUS0
register, is set when Bit 30 of one of the xFWATTHR registers
changes, signifying one of these registers is half full.
Setting Bits[1:0] in the MASK0 register enable the FAEHF and

AEHF interrupts, respectively. If enabled, the

STATUS0 register with the corresponding bit set to 1.
Setting Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE register enables a
read-with-reset for all watt-hour accumulation registers, that is,
the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.
Integration Time Under Steady Load
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation register
is 125 µs (8 kHz frequency). With full-scale sinusoidal signals
on the analog inputs and the watt gain registers set to 0x00000, the
average word value from each LPF2 is PMAX = 33,516,139 =
0x1FF6A6B. If the WTHR register threshold is set at the PMAX
level, this means the DSP generates a pulse that is added at watthour registers every 125 µs.
The maximum value that can be stored in the watt-hour
accumulation register before it overflows is 2

0x7FFFFFFF. The integration time is calculated as

Depending on the polyphase meter service, choose the appropriate formula to calculate the active energy. The American
ANSI C12.10 standard defines the different configurations of
the meter. Tab le 1 6 describes which mode to choose in these
various configurations.
Bits[1:0] (WATTACC[1:0]) in the ACCMODE register determine
how the CF frequency output can be generated as a function of
the total and fundamental active powers. Whereas the watt-hour
accumulation registers accumulate the active power in a signed
format, the frequency output can be generated in signed mode
or in absolute mode as a function of the WATTACC[1:0] bits.
See the Energy-to-Frequency Conversion section for details.
Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation Mode
In line cycle energy accumulation mode, the energy accumulation is synchronized to the voltage channel zero crossings such
that active energy is accumulated over an integral number of
half line cycles. The advantage of summing the active energy
over an integer number of line cycles is that the sinusoidal component in the active energy is reduced to 0. This eliminates any
ripple in the energy calculation and allows the energy to be
accumulated accurately over a shorter time. By using the line
cycle energy accumulation mode, the energy calibration can be
greatly simplified, and the time required to calibrate the meter
can be significantly reduced. In line cycle energy accumulation
mode, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 transfer the
active energy accumulated in the 32-bit internal accumulation
registers into the xWATHHR or xFWATTHR registers after an
integral number of line cycles, as shown in Figure 65. The
number of half line cycles is specified in the LINECYC register.

The line cycle energy accumulation mode is activated by setting
Bit 0 (LWATT) in the LCYCMODE register. The energy accumulation over an integer number of half line cycles is written
to the watt-hour accumulation registers after LINECYC number
of half line cycles is detected. When using the line cycle
accumulation mode, the Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE
register should be set to Logic 0 because the read with reset of
watt-hour registers is not available in this mode.
Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C zero crossings are, respectively,
included when counting the number of half line cycles by setting
Bits[5:3] (ZXSEL[x]) in the LCYCMODE register. Any combination of the zero crossings from all three phases can be used
for counting the zero crossing. Select only one phase at a time
for inclusion in the zero crossings count during calibration.
The number of zero crossings is specified by the LINECYC 16-bit
unsigned register. The ADE78xx can accumulate active power
for up to 65,535 combined zero crossings. Note that the internal
zero-crossing counter is always active. By setting Bit 0 (LWATT)
in the LCYCMODE register, the first energy accumulation
result is, therefore, incorrect. Writing to the LINECYC register
when the LWATT bit is set resets the zero-crossing counter, thus
ensuring that the first energy accumulation result is accurate.
At the end of an energy calibration cycle, Bit 5 (LENERGY) in
the STATUS0 register is set. If the corresponding mask bit in

corresponding bit set to 1.
Because the active power is integrated on an integer number of
half-line cycles in this mode, the sinusoidal components are
reduced to 0, eliminating any ripple in the energy calculation.

REACTIVE POWER CALCULATION—ADE7858,
ADE7868, ADE7878 ONLY
The ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can compute the total reactive
power on every phase. Total reactive power integrates all fundamental and harmonic components of the voltages and currents.
The ADE7878 also computes the fundamental reactive power,
the power determined only by the fundamental components of
the voltages and currents.
A load that contains a reactive element (inductor or capacitor)
08510-147
produces a phase difference between the applied ac voltage and
the resulting current. The power associated with reactive elements
is called reactive power, and its unit is VAR. Reactive power is
defined as the product of the voltage and current waveforms when
all harmonic components of one of these signals are phase
shifted by 90°.
Equation 31 gives an expression for the instantaneous reactive
power signal in an ac system when the phase of the current
channel is shifted by +90°.

The ADE7878 computes the fundamental reactive power using
a proprietary algorithm that requires some initialization function
of the frequency of the network and its nominal voltage measured
in the voltage channel. These initializations are introduced in
the Active Power Calculation section and are common for both
fundamental active and reactive powers.

Reactive Power Gain Calibration
The average reactive power from the LPF output in each phase can
be scaled by ±100% by writing to one of the phase’s VAR gain 24-bit
register (AVARGAIN, BVARGAIN, CVARGAIN, AFVARGAIN,
BFVARGAIN, or CFVARGAIN). The xVARGAIN registers are
placed in each phase of the total reactive power datapath. The
xFVARGAIN registers are placed in each phase of the fundamental
reactive power datapath. The xVARGAIN registers are twos com-
−23
plement signed registers and have a resolution of 2
/LSB. The

The output is scaled by –50% by writing 0xC00000 to the
xVARGAIN registers and increased by +50% by writing
0x400000 to them. These registers can be used to calibrate the
reactive power (or energy) gain in the ADE78xx for each phase.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-,
16-, or 8-bit words and the DSP works on 28 bits. Similar to
registers presented in Figure 33, the AVARGAIN, BVARGAIN,
CVARGAIN, AFVARGAIN, BFVARGAIN, and CFVARGAIN
24-bit signed registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the
four MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.
Reactive Power Offset Calibration
The ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 provide a reactive power
offset register on each phase and on each reactive power. AVAROS,
BVAROS, and CVAROS registers compensate the offsets in the
total reactive power calculations, whereas AFVAROS, BFVAROS,
and CFVAROS registers compensate offsets in the fundamental
reactive power calculations. These are signed twos complement,
24-bit registers that are used to remove offsets in the reactive
power calculations. An offset can exist in the power calculation
due to crosstalk between channels on the PCB or in the chip
itself. The offset resolution of the registers is the same as for the
active power offset registers (see the Active Power Offset
Calibration section).
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-,

registers presented in Figure 33, the AVAROS, BVAROS, and
CVAROS 24-bit signed registers are accessed as 32-bit registers

Sign of Reactive Power Calculation
Note that the reactive power is a signed calculation. Tab le 1 8
summarizes the relationship between the phase difference between
the voltage and the current and the sign of the resulting reactive
power calculation.
Rev. E | Page 50 of 96
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
The ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have sign detection circuitry
for reactive power calculations that can monitor the total reactive
powers or the fundamental reactive powers. As described in the
Reactive Energy Calculation section, the reactive energy accumulation is executed in two stages. Every time a sign change is
detected in the energy accumulation at the end of the first stage,
that is, after the energy accumulated into the internal accumulator
reaches the VARTHR register threshold, a dedicated interrupt is
triggered. The sign of each phase reactive power can be read in
the PHSIGN register. Bit 7 (REVRPSEL) in the ACCMODE
register sets the type of reactive power being monitored. When
REVRPSEL is 0, the default value, the total reactive power is
monitored. When REVRPSEL is 1, then the fundamental
reactive power is monitored.
Bits[12:10] (REVRPC, REVRPB, and REVRPA, respectively)
in the STATUS0 register are set when a sign change occurs in
the power selected by Bit 7 (REVRPSEL) in the ACCMODE
register.
Bits[6:4] (CVARSIGN, BVARSIGN, and AVARSIGN, respectively)
in the PHSIGN register are set simultaneously with the REVRPC,
REVRPB, and REVRPA bits. They indicate the sign of the reactive
power. When they are 0, the reactive power is positive. When
they are 1, the reactive power is negative.
Bit REVRPx of the STATUS0 register and Bit xVARSIGN in the
PHSIGN register refer to the reactive power of Phase x, the
power type being selected by Bit REVRPSEL in ACCMODE
register.
Setting Bits[12:10] in the MASK0 register enables the REVRPC,
REVRPB, and REVRPA interrupts, respectively. If enabled, the
IRQ0
pin is set low and the status bit is set to 1 whenever a change
of sign occurs. To find the phase that triggered the interrupt,
the PHSIGN register is read immediately after reading the
IRQ0
STATUS0 register. Next, the status bit is cleared and the
pin is set to high by writing to the STATUS0 register with the
corresponding bit set to 1.

Φ is defined as the phase angle of the voltage signal minus the current
signal; that is, Φ is positive if the load is inductive and negative if the load is
capacitive.
Reactive Energy Calculation
Reactive energy is defined as the integral of reactive power.
Reactive Energy = ∫q(t)dt (36)
Both total and fundamental reactive energy accumulations are
always a signed operation. Negative energy is subtracted from
the reactive energy contents.
Similar to active power, the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
achieve the integration of the reactive power signal in two
stages (see Figure 66). The process is identical for both total and
fundamental active powers.
• The first stage is conducted inside the DSP: every 125 µs
(8 kHz frequency), the instantaneous phase total reactive
or fundamental power is accumulated into an internal
register. When a threshold is reached, a pulse is generated
at the processor port and the threshold is subtracted from
the internal register. The sign of the energy in this moment
is considered the sign of the reactive power (see the Sign of
Reactive Power Calculation section for details).
• The second stage is performed outside the DSP and consists
in accumulating the pulses generated by the processor into
internal 32-bit accumulation registers. The content of these
registers is transferred to the var-hour registers (xVARHR and
xFVARHR) when these registers are accessed. AVARHR,
BVARHR, CVARHR, AFWATTHR, BFWATTHR, and
CFWATTHR represent phase fundamental reactive powers.
Figure 63 from the Active Energy Calculation section explains
this process. The VARTHR 48-bit signed register contains the
threshold and it is introduced by the user. It is introduced by the
user and is common for both total and fundamental phase reactive
powers. Its value depends on how much energy is assigned to
one LSB of var-hour registers. Supposing a derivative of a volt
n
ampere reactive hour (varh) at [10
varh] where n is an integer,
is desired as one LSB of the VARHR register. Then, the VARTHR
register can be computed using the following equation:

VARTHR is a 48-bit register. As previously stated in the Vol t a g e
Wave fo r m G ai n R eg is te rs section, the serial ports of the ADE7858/
ADE7868/ADE7878 work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words. Similar to
the WTHR register shown in Figure 64, VARTHR is accessed as
two 32-bit registers (VARTHR1 and VARTHR0), each having eight
MSBs padded with 0s.

On the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, the total phase reactive
powers are accumulated in the AVARHR, BVARHR, and
CVARHR 32-bit signed registers. The fundamental phase reactive
powers are accumulated in the AFVARHR, BFVARHR, and
CFVARHR 32-bit signed registers. The reactive energy register
content can roll over to full-scale negative (0x80000000) and
continue increasing in value when the reactive power is positive.
Conversely, if the reactive power is negative, the energy register
underflows to full-scale positive (0x7FFFFFFF) and continues

Bit 2 (REHF) in the STATUS0 register is set when Bit 30 of
one of the xVARHR registers changes, signifying one of these

Setting Bits[3:2] in the MASK0 register enable the FREHF and

Setting Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE register enables a

the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.

Integration Time Under A Steady Load
The discrete time sample period (T) for the accumulation register
is 125 µs (8 kHz frequency). With full-scale pure sinusoidal signals
on the analog inputs and a 90° phase difference between the voltage and the current signal (the largest possible reactive power),
the average word value representing the reactive power is PMAX =
33,516,139 = 0x1FF6A6B. If the VARTHR threshold is set at the
PMAX level, this means the DSP generates a pulse that is added
at the var-hour registers every 125 µs.
The maximum value that can be stored in the var-hour
31
accumulation register before it overflows is 2
− 1 or
0x7FFFFFFF. The integration time is calculated as
Time = 0x7FFF,FFFF × 125 s = 74 hr 33 min 55 sec (38)
Energy Accumulation Modes
The reactive power accumulated in each var-hour accumulation
32-bit register (AVARHR, BVARHR, CVARHR, AFVARHR,
BFVARHR, and CFVARHR) depends on the configuration of
Bits[5:4] (CONSEL[1:0]) in the ACCMODE register, in correlation
with the watt-hour registers. The different configurations are
described in Tab le 1 9. Note that IA
’/IB’/IC’ are the phase-shifted
current waveforms.
Table 19. Inputs to Var-Hour Accumulation Registers
Bits[3:2] (VARACC[1:0]) in the ACCMODE register determine
how CF frequency output can be a generated function of the total
active and fundamental powers. While the var-hour accumulation
registers accumulate the reactive power in a signed format, the
frequency output can be generated in either the signed mode or the
sign adjusted mode function of VARACC[1:0]. See the Energy-toFrequency Conversion section for details.
Line Cycle Reactive Energy Accumulation Mode
As mentioned in the Line Cycle Active Energy Accumulation
Mode section, in line cycle energy accumulation mode, the
energy accumulation can be synchronized to the voltage
channel zero crossings so that reactive energy can be accumulated over an integral number of half line cycles.
In this mode, the ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 transfer the
reactive energy accumulated in the 32-bit internal accumulation
registers into the xVARHR or xFVARHR registers after an
integral number of line cycles, as shown in Figure 67. The
number of half line cycles is specified in the LINECYC register.
The line cycle reactive energy accumulation mode is activated by
setting Bit 1 (LVAR) in the LCYCMODE register. The total reactive
energy accumulated over an integer number of half line cycles
or zero crossings is available in the var-hour accumulation registers
after the number of zero crossings specified in the LINECYC register is detected. When using the line cycle accumulation mode,
Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE register should be set to
Logic 0 because a read with the reset of var-hour registers is not
available in this mode.

APPARENT POWER CALCULATION
Apparent power is defined as the maximum power that can be
delivered to a load. One way to obtain the apparent power is by
multiplying the voltage rms value by the current rms value (also
called the arithmetic apparent power)
S = V rms × I rms (39)
where:
S is the apparent power.
V rms and I rms are the rms voltage and current, respectively.
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 compute the
arithmetic apparent power on each phase. Figure 68 illustrates
the signal processing in each phase for the calculation of the
apparent power in the ADE78xx. Because V rms and I rms contain all harmonic information, the apparent power computed by
the ADE78xx is total apparent power. The ADE7878 does not
compute fundamental apparent power because it does not measure
the rms values of the fundamental voltages and currents.
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 store the instantaneous phase apparent powers into the AVA, BVA, and CVA
registers. Their expression is

Apparent Power Gain Calibration
The average apparent power result in each phase can be scaled
by ±100% by writing to one of the phase’s VAGAIN 24-bit registers
(AVAGAIN, BVAGAIN, or CVAG AIN). The VAGAIN registers
are twos complement, signed registers and have a resolution of
−23
/LSB. The function of the xVAGAIN registers is expressed
2
mathematically as

⎝

⎠
The output is scaled by –50% by writing 0xC00000 to the
xVAGAIN registers, and it is increased by +50% by writing
0x400000 to them. These registers calibrate the apparent power
(or energy) calculation in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/
ADE7878 for each phase.
As previously stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers
section, the serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit
words and the DSP works on 28 bits. Similar to registers presented
in Figure 33, the AVAGAIN, BVAGAIN, and CVAGAIN 24-bit
registers are accessed as 32-bit registers with the four MSBs
padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.
Apparent Power Offset Calibration
Each rms measurement includes an offset compensation register
to calibrate and eliminate the dc component in the rms value
(see the Root Mean Square Measurement section). The voltage
and current rms values are multiplied together in the apparent
power signal processing. As no additional offsets are created in
the multiplication of the rms values, there is no specific offset
compensation in the apparent power signal processing. The offset
compensation of the apparent power measurement in each phase is
accomplished by calibrating each individual rms measurement.
Apparent Power Calculation Using VNOM
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 can compute the
apparent power by multiplying the phase rms current by an rms
voltage introduced externally in the VNOM 24-bit signed register.
When one of Bits[13:11] (VNOMCEN, VNOMBEN, or
VNOMAEN) in the COMPMODE register is set to 1, the
apparent power in the corresponding phase (Phase x for
VNOMxEN) is computed in this way. When the VNOMxEN
bits are cleared to 0, the default value, then the arithmetic
apparent power is computed.
The VNOM register contains a number determined by U, the
, the rms value of the phase vol-
desired rms voltage, and

to the register presented in Figure 34, the VNOM 24-bit signed
register is accessed as a 32-bit register with the eight MSBs
padded with 0s.
Apparent Energy Calculation
Apparent energy is defined as the integral of apparent power.
Apparent Energy = ∫s(t)dt (43)
Similar to active and reactive powers, the ADE7854/ADE7858/
ADE7868/ADE7878 achieve the integration of the apparent power
signal in two stages (see Figure 68). The first stage is conducted
inside the DSP: every 125 µs (8 kHz frequency), the instantaneous phase apparent power is accumulated into an internal
register. When a threshold is reached, a pulse is generated at the
processor port and the threshold is subtracted from the internal
register. The second stage is conducted outside the DSP and
consists of accumulating the pulses generated by the processor
into internal 32-bit accumulation registers. The content of these
registers is transferred to the VA-hour registers, xVAHR, when
these registers are accessed. Figure 63 from the Active Energy
Calculation section illustrates this process. The VATHR 48-bit
register contains the threshold. Its value depends on how much
energy is assigned to one LSB of the VA-hour registers. When a
n
derivative of apparent energy (VAh) of [10

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
In the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, the phase
apparent powers are accumulated in the AVAHR, BVAHR, and
CVAHR 32-bit signed registers. The apparent energy register
content can roll over to full-scale negative (0x80000000) and
continue increasing in value when the apparent power is positive. Conversely, if because of offset compensation in the rms
datapath, the apparent power is negative, the energy register
underflows to full-scale positive (0x7FFFFFFF) and continues
to decrease in value.
Bit 4 (VAEHF) in the STATUS0 register is set when Bit 30 of one of
the xVAHR registers changes, signifying one of these registers is
half full. As the apparent power is always positive and the xVAHR
registers are signed, the VA-hour registers become half full when
they increment from 0x3FFFFFFF to 0x4000 0000. Interrupts
attached to Bit VAEHF in the STATUS0 register can be enabled by
IRQ0
setting Bit 4 in the MASK0 register. If enabled, the
pin is set
low and the status bit is set to 1 whenever one of the Energy
Registers xVAHR becomes half full. The status bit is cleared and
IRQ0
the
pin is set to high by writing to the STATUS0 register
with the corresponding bit set to 1.
Setting Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of the LCYCMODE register enables
a read-with-reset for all xVAHR accumulation registers, that is,
the registers are reset to 0 after a read operation.
Integration Time Under Steady Load
The discrete time sample period for the accumulation register is
125 µs (8 kHz frequency). With full-scale pure sinusoidal signals
on the analog inputs, the average word value representing the
apparent power is PMAX. If the VATHR threshold register is set
at the PMAX level, this means the DSP generates a pulse that
is added at the xVAHR registers every 125 µs.

the xVAHR registers after an integral number of line cycles, as

The line cycle apparent energy accumulation mode is activated
by setting Bit 2 (LVA) in the LCYCMODE register. The apparent
energy accumulated over an integer number of zero crossings is
written to the xVAHR accumulation registers after the number
of zero crossings specified in LINECYC register is detected. When
using the line cycle accumulation mode, set Bit 6 (RSTREAD) of
the LCYCMODE register to Logic 0 because a read with the reset
of xVAHR registers is not available in this mode.
Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C zero crossings are, respectively,
included when counting the number of half line cycles by setting
Bits[5:3] (ZXSEL[x]) in the LCYCMODE register. Any combination of the zero crossings from all three phases can be used
for counting the zero crossing. Select only one phase at a time
for inclusion in the zero-crossings count during calibration.

in the MASK0 interrupt mask register associated with the line
cycle accumulation mode, see the Line Cycle Active Energy
Accumulation Mode section.
WAVEFORM SAMPLING MODE
The waveform samples of the current and voltage waveform,
the active, reactive, and apparent power outputs are stored
every 125 µs (8 kHz rate) into 24-bit signed registers that can be
accessed through various serial ports of the ADE7854/ADE7858/
ADE7868/ADE7878. Table 21 provides a list of registers and their
descriptions.

Neutral current, available in the ADE7868
and ADE7878 only
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain a high
speed data capture (HSDC) port that is specially designed to
provide fast access to the waveform sample registers. Read the
HSDC Interface section for more details.
As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the
serial ports of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words. All registers listed in Tab le 2 1
are transmitted signed extended from 24 bits to 32 bits (see
Figure 35).
ENERGY-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERSION
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 provide three
frequency output pins: CF1, CF2, and CF3. The CF3 pin is
multiplexed with the HSCLK pin of the HSDC interface. When
HSDC is enabled, the CF3 functionality is disabled at the pin.
CF1 and CF2 pins are always available. After initial calibration
at manufacturing, the manufacturer or end customer verifies
the energy meter calibration. One convenient way to verify the
meter calibration is to provide an output frequency proportional to the active, reactive, or apparent powers under steady
load conditions. This output frequency can provide a simple,
single-wire, optically isolated interface to external calibration
equipment. Figure 70 illustrates the energy-to-frequency
conversion in the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878.
The DSP computes the instantaneous values of all phase powers:
total active, fundamental active, total reactive, fundamental
reactive, and apparent. The process in which the energy is sign
accumulated in various xWATTHR, xVARHR, and xVAHR
registers has already been described in the energy calculation
sections: Active Energy Calculation, Reactive Energy Calculation,
and Apparent Energy Calculation. In the energy-to-frequency
conversion process, the instantaneous powers generate signals
at the frequency output pins (CF1, CF2, and CF3). One digitalto-frequency converter is used for every CFx pin. Every converter
sums certain phase powers and generates a signal proportional
to the sum. Two sets of bits decide what powers are converted.
First, Bits[2:0] (TERMSEL1[2:0]), Bits[5:3] (TERMSEL2[2:0]),
and Bits[8:6] (TERMSEL3[2:0]) of the COMPMODE register
decide which phases, or which combination of phases, are added.
The TERMSEL1 bits refer to the CF1 pin, the TERMSEL2 bits
refer to the CF2 pin, and the TERMSEL3 bits refer to the CF3
pin. The TERMSELx[0] bits manage Phase A. When set to 1,
Phase A power is included in the sum of powers at the CFx
converter. When cleared to 0, Phase A power is not included.
The TERMSELx[1] bits manage Phase B, and the TERMSELx[2]
bits manage Phase C. Setting all TERMSELx bits to 1 means all
3-phase powers are added at the CFx converter. Clearing all
TERMSELx bits to 0 means no phase power is added and no
CF pulse is generated.

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
Second, Bits[2:0] (CF1SEL[2:0]), Bits[5:3] (CF2SEL[2:0]), and
Bits[8:6] (CF3SEL[2:0]) in the CFMODE register decide what
type of power is used at the inputs of the CF1, CF2, and CF3
converters, respectively. Tab l e 22 shows the values that CFxSEL
can have: total active, total reactive (available in the ADE7858,
ADE7868, and ADE7878 only), apparent, fundamental active
(available in the ADE7878 only), or fundamental reactive
(available in the ADE7878 only) powers.

By default, the TERMSELx bits are all 1 and the CF1SEL bits are
000, the CF2SEL bits are 001, and the CF3SEL bits are 010. This
means that by default, the CF1 digital-to-frequency converter
produces signals proportional to the sum of all 3-phase total
active powers, CF2 produces signals proportional to total
reactive powers, and CF3 produces signals proportional to
apparent powers.
The pulse output is active low and preferably connected to an
LED, as shown in Figure 71.
DD
CFx PIN
Similar to the energy accumulation process, the energy-tofrequency conversion is accomplished in two stages. In the first
stage, the instantaneous phase powers obtained from the DSP at
the 8 kHz rate are shifted left by seven bits and then accumulate
into an internal register at a 1 MHz rate. When a threshold is
reached, a pulse is generated and the threshold is subtracted
from the internal register. The sign of the energy in this moment
is considered the sign of the sum of phase powers (see the Sign
of Sum-of-Phase Powers in the CFx Datapath section for details).
The threshold is the same threshold used in various active,
reactive, and apparent energy accumulators in the DSP, such
as the WTHR, VARTHR, or VATHR registers, except for being
shifted left by seven bits. The advantage of accumulating the
instantaneous powers at the 1 MHz rate is that the ripple at the
CFx pins is greatly diminished.
The second stage consists of the frequency divider by the
CFxDEN 16-bit unsigned registers. The values of CFxDEN
depend on the meter constant (MC), measured in impulses/kWh
and how much energy is assigned to one LSB of various energy
registers: xWATTHR, xVARHR, and so forth. Supposing a deri-
n
vative of wh [10
wh], n a positive or negative integer, is desired
as one LSB of xWATTHR register. Then, CFxDEN is as follows:

CFxDEN
=
MC

(46)
n

×
The derivative of wh must be chosen in such a way to obtain a
CFxDEN register content greater than 1. If CFxDEN = 1, then
the CFx pin stays active low for only 1 µs, therefore, avoid this
number. The frequency converter cannot accommodate fractional
results; the result of the division must be rounded to the nearest
integer. If CFxDEN is set equal to 0, then the ADE78xx considers it
to be equal to 1.
The pulse output for all digital-to-frequency converters stays
low for 80 ms if the pulse period is larger than 160 ms (6.25 Hz). If
the pulse period is smaller than 160 ms and CFxDEN is an even
number, the duty cycle of the pulse output is exactly 50%. If the
pulse period is smaller than 160 ms and CFxDEN is an odd
number, the duty cycle of the pulse output is

Figure 71. CFx Pin Recommended Connection
Bits[11:9] (CF3DIS, CF2DIS, and CF1DIS) of the CFMODE
register decide if the frequency converter output is generated
at the CF3, CF2, or CF1 pin. When Bit CFxDIS is set to 1 (the
default value), the CFx pin is disabled and the pin stays high.
When Bit CFxDIS is cleared to 0, the corresponding CFx pin
output generates an active low signal.
Bits[16:14] (CF3, CF2, CF1) in the Interrupt Mask Register MASK0
manage the CF3, CF2, and CF1 related interrupts. When the
CFx bits are set, whenever a high-to-low transition at the corres-
IRQ0
ponding frequency converter output occurs, an interrupt
is triggered and a status bit in the STATUS0 register is set to 1.
The interrupt is available even if the CFx output is not enabled
by the CFxDIS bits in the CFMODE register.
Synchronizing Energy Registers with CFx Outputs
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain a feature
that allows synchronizing the content of phase energy accumulation registers with the generation of a CFx pulse. When
a high-to-low transition at one frequency converter output
occurs, the content of all internal phase energy registers that
relate to the power being output at CFx pin is latched into hour
registers and then resets to 0. See Table 22 for the list of registers
that are latched based on the CFxSEL[2:0] bits in the CFMODE
register. All 3-phase registers are latched independent of the
TERMSELx bits of the COMPMODE register. The process is
shown in Figure 72 for CF1SEL[2:0] = 010 (apparent powers
contribute at the CF1 pin) and CFCYC = 2.
The CFCYC 8-bit unsigned register contains the number of high to
low transitions at the frequency converter output between two
consecutive latches. Avoid writing a new value into the CFCYC
register during a high-to-low transition at any CFx pin.

Bits[14:12] (CF3LATCH, CF2LATCH, and CF1LATCH) of the

available even if the CFx output is not enabled by the CFxDIS
bits in the CFMODE register.
CF Outputs for Various Accumulation Modes
Bits[1:0] (WATTACC[1:0]) in the ACCMODE register determine the accumulation modes of the total active and fundamental
powers when signals proportional to the active powers are chosen
at the CFx pins (the CFxSEL[2:0] bits in the CFMODE register
equal 000 or 011). When WATTACC[1:0] = 00 (the default value),
the active powers are sign accumulated before entering the energyto-frequency converter. Figure 73 shows how signed active power
accumulation works. In this mode, the CFx pulses synchronize
perfectly with the active energy accumulated in xWATTHR registers because the powers are sign accumulated in both data paths.

When WATTACC[1:0] = 11, the active powers are accumulated
in absolute mode. When the powers are negative, they change
sign and accumulate together with the positive power. Figure 74

that in this mode, the xWATTHR registers continue to accumulate
active powers in signed mode, even if the CFx pulses are generated based on the absolute accumulation mode.

If the active power is negative, the sign of the reactive power is

Sign of Sum-of-Phase Powers in the CFx Datapath
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have sign detection
circuitry for the sum of phase powers that are used in the CFx
datapath. As seen in the beginning of the Energy-to-Frequency
Conversion section, the energy accumulation in the CFx datapath is executed in two stages. Every time a sign change is detected
in the energy accumulation at the end of the first stage, that is,
after the energy accumulated into the accumulator reaches one
of the WTHR, VARTHR, or VATHR thresholds, a dedicated
interrupt can be triggered synchronously with the corresponding
CFx pulse. The sign of each sum can be read in the PHSIGN
register.
Bit 18, Bit 13, and Bit 9 (REVPSUM3, REVPSUM2, and
REVPSUM1, respectively) of the STATUS0 register are set
to 1 when a sign change of the sum of powers in CF3, CF2,
or CF1 datapaths occurs. To correlate these events with the
pulses generated at the CFx pins, after a sign change occurs,
Bit REVPSUM3, Bit REVPSUM2, and Bit REVPSUM1 are set
in the same moment in which a high-to-low transition at the
CF3, CF2, and CF1 pin, respectively, occurs.
Bit 8, Bit 7, and Bit 3 (SUM3SIGN, SUM2SIGN, and SUM1SIGN,
respectively) of the PHSIGN register are set in the same moment
with Bit REVPSUM3, Bit REVPSUM2, and Bit EVPSUM1 and
indicate the sign of the sum of phase powers. When cleared to
0, the sum is positive. When set to 1, the sum is negative.
Interrupts attached to Bit 18, Bit 13, and Bit 9 (REVPSUM3,
REVPSUM2, and REVPSUM1, respectively) in the STATUS0
register are enabled by setting Bit 18, Bit 13, and Bit 9 in the
IRQ0
MASK0 register. If enabled, the
pin is set low, and the
status bit is set to 1 whenever a change of sign occurs. To find
the phase that triggered the interrupt, the PHSIGN register is
read immediately after reading the STATUS0 register. Next, the
status bit is cleared, and the
to the STATUS0 register with the corresponding bit set to 1.
NO LOAD CONDITION
The no load condition is defined in metering equipment standards
as occurring when the voltage is applied to the meter and no current flows in the current circuit. To eliminate any creep effects in
the meter, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 contain
three separate no load detection circuits: one related to the total
active and reactive powers (ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
only), one related to the fundamental active and reactive powers
(ADE7878 only), and one related to the apparent powers.
No Load Detection Based On Total Active, Reactive
Powers
This no load condition is triggered when the absolute values of
both phase total active and reactive powers are less than or equal
to positive thresholds indicated in the respective APNOLOAD
and VARNOLOAD signed 24-bit registers. In this case, the total
active and reactive energies of that phase are not accumulated
and no CFx pulses are generated based on these energies. The
APNOLOAD register represents the positive no load level of
active power relative to PMAX, the maximum active power
obtained when full-scale voltages and currents are provided at
ADC inputs. The VARNOLOAD register represents the positive
no load level of reactive power relative to PMAX. The expression used to compute APNOLOAD signed 24-bit value is
U
APNOLOAD
where:
PMAX = 33,516,139 = 0x1FF6A6B, the instantaneous power
computed when the ADC inputs are at full scale.
UFS, I
are the rms values of phase voltages and currents when
FS
the ADC inputs are at full scale.
U
is the nominal rms value of phase voltage.
n
I
is the minimum rms value of phase current the meter
NOLOAD
starts measuring.
The VARNOLOAD register usually contains the same value as
the APNOLOAD register. When APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD
are set to negative values, the no load detection circuit is disabled.
Note that the ADE7854 measures only the total active powers.
To ensure good functionality of the ADE7854 no-load circuit,
set the VARNOLOAD register at 0x800000.
As previously stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers
section, the serial ports of the ADE78xx work on 32-, 16-, or
8-bit words and the DSP works on 28 bits. APNOLOAD and
VARNOLOAD 24-bit signed registers are accessed as 32-bit
registers with the four MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended
to 28 bits. See Figure 33 for details.

Bit 0 (NLOAD) in the STATUS1 register is set when this no
load condition in one of the three phases is triggered. Bits[2:0]
(NLPHASE[2:0]) in the PHNOLOAD register indicate the state
of all phases relative to a no load condition and are set simultaneously with Bit NLOAD in the STATUS1 register. NLPHASE[0]
indicates the state of Phase A, NLPHASE[1] indicates the state
of Phase B, and NLPHASE[2] indicates the state of Phase C.
When Bit NLPHASE[x] is cleared to 0, it means the phase is out
of a no load condition. When set to 1, it means the phase is in a
no load condition.
An interrupt attached to Bit 0 (NLOAD) in the STATUS1
register can be enabled by setting Bit 0 in the MASK1 register.
IRQ1
If enabled, the
pin is set to low, and the status bit is set
to 1 whenever one of three phases enters or exits this no load

PHNOLOAD register is read immediately after reading the
IRQ1
STATUS1 register. Next, the status bit is cleared, and the
pin is set to high by writing to the STATUS1 register with the
corresponding bit set to 1.
No Load Detection Based on Fundamental Active and
Reactive Powers—ADE7878 Only
This no load condition (available on the ADE7878 only) is
triggered when the absolute values of both phase fundamental
active and reactive powers are less than or equal to the respective
APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD positive thresholds. In this
case, the fundamental active and reactive energies of that phase
are not accumulated, and no CFx pulses are generated based on
these energies. APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD are the same
no load thresholds set for the total active and reactive powers.
When APNOLOAD and VARNOLOAD are set to negative
values, this no load detection circuit is disabled.
Bit 1 (FNLOAD) in the STATUS1 register is set when this no
load condition in one of the three phases is triggered. Bits[5:3]
(FNLPHASE[2:0]) in the PHNOLOAD register indicate the
state of all phases relative to a no load condition and are set
simultaneously with Bit FNLOAD in the STATUS1 register.
FNLPHASE[0] indicates the state of Phase A, FNLPHASE[1]
indicates the state of Phase B, and FNLPHASE[2] indicates the
state of Phase C. When Bit FNLPHASE[x] is cleared to 0, it
means the phase is out of the no load condition. When set to 1,
it means the phase is in a no load condition.
An interrupt attached to the Bit 1 (FNLOAD) in the STATUS1
register can be enabled by setting Bit 1 in the MASK1 register. If
IRQ1
enabled, the
pin is set low and the status bit is set to 1
whenever one of three phases enters or exits this no load
condition. To find the phase that triggered the interrupt, the
PHNOLOAD register is read immediately after reading the
IRQ1
STATUS1 register. Then the status bit is cleared and the
pin is set back high by writing to the STATUS1 register with the
corresponding bit set to 1.
No Load Detection Based on Apparent Power
This no load condition is triggered when the absolute value
of phase apparent power is less than or equal to the threshold
indicated in the VANOLOAD 24-bit signed register. In this
case, the apparent energy of that phase is not accumulated
and no CFx pulses are generated based on this energy. The
VANOLOAD register represents the positive no load level
of apparent power relative to PMAX, the maximum apparent
power obtained when full-scale voltages and currents are
provided at the ADC inputs. The expression used to compute
the VANOLOAD signed 24-bit value is

work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words and the DSP works on 28 bits.
Similar to the registers presented in Figure 33, the VANOLOAD
24-bit signed register is accessed as a 32-bit register with the
four MSBs padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.
Bit 2 (VANLOAD) in the STATUS1 register is set when this no
load condition in one of the three phases is triggered. Bits[8:6]
(VANLPHASE[2:0]) in the PHNOLOAD register indicate the
state of all phases relative to a no load condition and they are set
simultaneously with Bit VANLOAD in the STATUS1 register:
• Bit VANLPHASE[0] indicates the state of Phase A.
• Bit VANLPHASE[1] indicates the state of Phase B.
• Bit VANLPHASE[2] indicates the state of Phase C.
When Bit VANLPHASE[x] is cleared to 0, it means the phase is
out of no load condition. When set to 1, it means the phase is in
no load condition.
An interrupt attached to Bit 2 (VANLOAD) in the STATUS1
register is enabled by setting Bit 2 in the MASK1 register. If
IRQ1
enabled, the
pin is set low and the status bit is set to 1
whenever one of three phases enters or exits this no load
condition. To find the phase that triggered the interrupt, the
PHNOLOAD register is read immediately after reading the
IRQ1
STATUS1 register. Next, the status bit is cleared, and the
pin is set to high by writing to the STATUS1 register with the
corresponding bit set to 1.

CHECKSUM REGISTER
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have a checksum
32-bit register, CHECKSUM, that ensures certain very important
configuration registers maintain their desired value during
Normal Power Mode PSM0.
The registers covered by this register are MASK0, MASK1,
COMPMODE, gain, CFMODE, CF1DEN, CF2DEN, CF3DEN,
CONFIG, MMODE, ACCMODE, LCYCMODE, HSDC_CFG,
and another six 8-bit reserved internal registers that always have
default values. The ADE78xx computes the cyclic redundancy
check (CRC) based on the IEEE802.3 standard. The registers
are introduced one-by-one into a linear feedback shift register
(LFSR) based generator starting with the least significant bit (as
shown in Figure 77). The 32-bit result is written in the
CHECKSUM register. After power-up or a hardware/software
reset, the CRC is computed on the default values of the registers
giving the results presented in the Table 23 .
Table 23. Default Values of CHECKSUM and of Internal
Registers CRC
Figure 78 shows how the LFSR works. The MASK0, MASK1,
COMPMODE, gain, CFMODE, CF1DEN, CF2DEN, CF3DEN,
CONFIG, MMODE, ACCMODE, LCYCMODE, and HSDC_CFG
registers, and the six 8-bit reserved internal registers form the

LFSR. The formulas that govern LFSR are as follows:

i
after the bits from the reserved internal register have passed
through LFSR, is obtained at Step j = 48 and is presented in the
Tabl e 23 .
Two different approaches can be followed in using the CHECKSUM register. One is to compute the CRC based on the relations
(47) to (51) and then compare the value against the CHECKSUM
register. Another is to periodically read the CHECKSUM register.
If two consecutive readings differ, it can be assumed that one of
the registers has changed value and therefore, the ADE7854,
ADE7858, ADE7868, or ADE7878 has changed configuration.
The recommended response is to initiate a hardware/software
reset that sets the values of all registers to the default, including
the reserved ones, and then reinitialize the configuration registers.

INTERRUPTS
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have two interrupt
and
IRQ1
. Each of the pins is managed by a 32-bit
IRQx
IRQx
pin remains low until the
IRQ1
logic output
pin always
IRQ0
pins,
interrupt mask register, MASK0 and MASK1, respectively. To
enable an interrupt, a bit in the MASKx register must be set to
1. To disable it, the bit must be cleared to 0. Two 32-bit status
registers, STATUS0 and STATUS1, are associated with the interrupts. When an interrupt event occurs in the ADE78xx, the
corresponding flag in the interrupt status register is set to a Logic 1
(see and ). If the mask bit for this interrupt in
Tabl e 37Ta ble 38
the interrupt mask register is Logic 1, then the
goes active low. The flag bits in the interrupt status register are set
irrespective of the state of the mask bits. To determine the source
of the interrupt, the MCU should perform a read of the corresponding STATUSx register and identify which bit is set to 1. To
erase the flag in the status register, write back to the STATUSx
register with the flag set to 1. After an interrupt pin goes low, the
status register is read and the source of the interrupt is identified.
Then, the status register is written back without any change to
clear the status flag to 0. The
status flag is cancelled.
By default, all interrupts are disabled. However, the RSTDONE
interrupt is an exception. This interrupt can never be masked
(disabled) and, therefore, Bit 15 (RSTDONE) in the MASK1
register does not have any functionality. The
goes low, and Bit 15 (RSTDONE) in the STATUS1 register is set
to 1 whenever a power-up or a hardware/software reset process
ends. To cancel the status flag, the STATUS1 register has to be
written with Bit 15 (RSTDONE) set to 1.
Certain interrupts are used in conjunction with other status
registers. The following bits in the MASK1 register work in
conjunction with the status bits in the PHNOLOAD register:
• Bit 0 (NLOAD)
• Bit1 (FNLOAD), available in the ADE7878 only
• Bit 2 (VANLOAD)
The following bits in the MASK1 register work with the status bits
in the PHSTATUS register:
• Bit 16, (SAG)
• Bit 17 (OI)
• Bit 18 (OV)
The following bits in the MASK1 register work with the status bits
in the IPEAK and VPEAK registers, respectively:
• Bit 23 (PKI)
• Bit 24 (PKV)
The following bits in the MASK0 register work with the status bits
in the PHSIGN register:
• Bits[6:8] (REVAPx)
• Bits[10:12] (REVRPx), available in the ADE7858,
ADE7868, and ADE7878 only
• Bit 9, Bit 13, and Bit 18 (REVPSUMx)
When the STATUSx register is read and one of these bits is set
to 1, the status register associated with the bit is immediately
read to identify the phase that triggered the interrupt and only
at that time can the STATUSx register be written back with the bit
set to 1.
Using the Interrupts with an MCU
Figure 79 shows a timing diagram that illustrates a suggested
implementation of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
interrupt management using an MCU. At Time t
, the
1
pin
IRQx
goes active low indicating that one or more interrupt events
have occurred in the ADE78xx, at which point the following
steps should be taken:
Tie the
1.
IRQx
pin to a negative-edge-triggered external
interrupt on the MCU.
2.
On detection of the negative edge, configure the MCU to
start executing its interrupt service routine (ISR).
On entering the ISR, disable all interrupts using the global
3.
interrupt mask bit. At this point, the MCU external interrupt
flag can be cleared to capture interrupt events that occur
during the current ISR.
When the MCU interrupt flag is cleared, a read from
4.
STATUSx, the interrupt status register, is carried out. The
interrupt status register content is used to determine the
source of the interrupt(s) and, hence, the appropriate
action to be taken.
The same STATUSx content is written back into the
5.
IRQx
ADE78xx to clear the status flag(s) and reset the
to logic high (t
).
2
If a subsequent interrupt event occurs during the ISR (t
line
), that
3
event is recorded by the MCU external interrupt flag being set
again.
On returning from the ISR, the global interrupt mask bit is
cleared (same instruction cycle) and the external interrupt flag
uses the MCU to jump to its ISR once again. This ensures that
the MCU does not miss any external interrupts.
Figure 80 shows a recommended timing diagram when the
status bits in the STATUSx registers work in conjunction with
IRQx
bits in other registers. When the
pin goes active low, the
STATUSx register is read, and if one of these bits is 1, a second

SERIAL INTERFACES
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 have three serial
port interfaces: one fully licensed I
peripheral interface (SPI), and one high speed data capture port
(HSDC). As the SPI pins are multiplexed with some of the pins
2
of the I
C and HSDC ports, the ADE78xx accepts two configurations: one using the SPI port only and one using the I
port in conjunction with the HSDC port.
Serial Interface Choice
After reset, the HSDC port is always disabled. Choose between
2
C and SPI ports by manipulating the SS/HSA pin after
the I
power-up or after a hardware reset. If the
high, then the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 use the
2
C port until a new hardware reset is executed. If the SS/HSA
I
pin is toggled high to low three times after power-up or after a
hardware reset, the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
use the SPI port until a new hardware reset is executed. This

ways. First, use the
/HSA pin can be accomplished in two
SS
/HSA pin of the master device (that is, the
microcontroller) as a regular I/O pin and toggle it three times.
Second, execute three SPI write operations to a location in the
address space that is not allocated to a specific ADE78xx register
(for example 0xEBFF, where eight bit writes can be executed).

These writes allow the
SPI Write Operation
/HSA pin to toggle three times. See the
section for details on the write protocol

(BASED ON STATUSx CONTENTS)
After the serial port choice is completed, it needs to be locked.
Consequently, the active port remains in use until a hardware
reset is executed in PSM0 normal mode or until a power-down.
2
If I
C is the active serial port, Bit 1 (I2C_LOCK) of the CONFIG2
register must be set to 1 to lock it in. From this moment, the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 ignore spurious
SS
toggling of the
pin and an eventual switch into using the SPI
port is no longer possible. If the SPI is the active serial port, any
write to the CONFIG2 register locks the port. From this moment,
2
a switch into using the I
C port is no longer possible. Once locked,
the serial port choice is maintained when the ADE78xx changes
PSMx power modes.
The functionality of the ADE78xx is accessible via several onchip registers. The contents of these registers can be updated or
2
read using either the I
C or SPI interfaces. The HSDC port provides
the state of up to 16 registers representing instantaneous values of
phase voltages and neutral currents, and active, reactive, and
apparent powers.
I2C-Compatible Interface
The ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 supports a fully
2
licensed I
C interface. The I2C interface is implemented as a full
hardware slave. SDA is the data I/O pin, and SCL is the serial
clock. These two pins are shared with the MOSI and SCLK pins
of the on-chip SPI interface. The maximum serial clock frequency
supported by this interface is 400 kHz.
The two pins used for data transfer, SDA and SCL, are configured in a wire-AND’ed format that allows arbitration in a
multimaster system.
2
The transfer sequence of an I
C system consists of a master device
initiating a transfer by generating a start condition while the bus
is idle. The master transmits the address of the slave device and
the direction of the data transfer in the initial address transfer. If
the slave acknowledges, the data transfer is initiated. This continues until the master issues a stop condition, and the bus
becomes idle.

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
I2C Write Operation
The write operation using the I2C interface of the ADE7854/
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 initiate when the master generates
a start condition and consists in one byte representing the
address of the ADE78xx followed by the 16-bit address of the
target register and by the value of the register.
The most significant seven bits of the address byte constitute
the address of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
and they are equal to 0111000b. Bit 0 of the address byte is a
write
read/
bit. Because this is a write operation, it has to be
cleared to 0; therefore, the first byte of the write operation is
0x70. After every byte is received, the ADE7854/ADE7858/
ADE7868/ADE7878 generate an acknowledge. As registers can
have 8, 16, or 32 bits, after the last bit of the register is transmitted
and the ADE78xx acknowledges the transfer, the master generates a stop condition. The addresses and the register content
are sent with the most significant bit first. See for
2
details of the I
C write operation.

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
I2C Read Operation
The read operation using the I2C interface of the ADE7854/
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is accomplished in two stages.
The first stage sets the pointer to the address of the register. The
second stage reads the content of the register.
As seen in Figure 82, the first stage initiates when the master
generates a start condition and consists in one byte representing
the address of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
followed by the 16-bit address of the target register. The ADE78xx
acknowledges every byte received. The address byte is similar to
the address byte of a write operation and is equal to 0x70 (see
the I2C Write Operation section for details). After the last byte
of the register address has been sent and acknowledged by the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, the second stage
begins with the master generating a new start condition followed
by an address byte. The most significant seven bits of this address
byte constitute the address of the ADE78xx, and they are equal
write
to 0111000b. Bit 0 of the address byte is a read/
bit. Because
this is a read operation, it must be set to 1; thus, the first byte of
the read operation is 0x71. After this byte is received, the ADE78xx
generates an acknowledge. Then, the ADE78xx sends the value
of the register, and after every eight bits are received, the master
generates an acknowledge. All the bytes are sent with the most
significant bit first. Because registers can have 8, 16, or 32 bits,
after the last bit of the register is received, the master does not
acknowledge the transfer but generates a stop condition.

ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878
SPI-Compatible Interface
The SPI of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 is
always a slave of the communication and consists of four pins
(with dual functions): SCLK/SCL, MOSI/SDA, MISO/HSD, and
SS
/HSA. The functions used in the SPI-compatible interface are
SCLK, MOSI, MISO, and
SS
. The serial clock for a data transfer
is applied at the SCLK logic input. This logic input has a Schmitt
trigger input structure that allows the use of slow rising (and
falling) clock edges. All data transfer operations synchronize
to the serial clock. Data shifts into the ADE78xx at the MOSI
logic input on the falling edge of SCLK and the ADE78xx
samples it on the rising edge of SCLK. Data shifts out of the
ADE7854/ ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 at the MISO logic
output on a falling edge of SCLK and can be sampled by the
master device on the raising edge of SCLK. The most significant
bit of the word is shifted in and out first. The maximum serial
clock frequency supported by this interface is 2.5 MHz. MISO
stays in high impedance when no data is transmitted from the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878. See for
Figure 83
details of the connection between the ADE78xx SPI and a
master device containing an SPI interface.

then be initiated by returning the
logic input to low. However,
because aborting a data transfer before completion leaves the
accessed register in a state that cannot be guaranteed, every
time a register is written, its value should be verified by reading
2
it back. The protocol is similar to the protocol used in I
C
interface.

SPI Read Operation
The read operation using the SPI interface of the ADE7854/
ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 initiate when the master sets the
SS
/HSA pin low and begins sending one byte, representing the
address of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878, on the
MOSI line. The master sets data on the MOSI line starting with
the first high-to-low transition of SCLK. The SPI of the ADE78xx
samples data on the low-to-high transitions of SCLK. The most
significant seven bits of the address byte can have any value, but
as a good programming practice, they should be different from
0111000b, the seven bits used in the I
of the address byte must be 1 for a read operation. Next, the
master sends the 16-bit address of the register that is read. After
the ADE78xx receives the last bit of address of the register on a
low-to-high transition of SCLK, it begins to transmit its contents
on the MISO line when the next SCLK high-to-low transition
occurs; thus, the master can sample the data on a low-to-high
SCLK transition. After the master receives the last bit, it sets the
SS
and SCLK lines high and the communication ends. The data
lines, MOSI and MISO, go into a high impedance state. See
for details of the SPI read operation. Figure 84

HSDC Interface
The high speed data capture (HSDC) interface is disabled after
default. It can be used only if the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/
2
ADE7878 is configured with an I
C interface. The SPI interface
of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 cannot be used
simultaneously with HSDC.
Bit 6 (HSDCEN) in the CONFIG register activates HSDC when
set to 1. If Bit HSDCEN is cleared to 0, the default value, the
HSDC interface is disabled. Setting Bit HSDCEN to 1 when SPI
is in use does not have any effect. HSDC is an interface for
sending to an external device (usually a microprocessor or a
DSP) up to sixteen 32-bit words. The words represent the
instantaneous values of the phase currents and voltages, neutral
current, and active, reactive, and apparent powers. The registers
being transmitted include IAWV, VAWV, IBWV, VBWV, ICWV,
VCWV, AVA, INWV, BVA, CVA, AWATT, BWATT, CWATT,
AVAR, BVAR, and CVAR. All are 24-bit registers that are sign
extended to 32-bits (see Figure 35 for details). In the case of
ADE7854 and ADE7858, the INWV register is not available. In
its place, the HSDC transmits one 32-bit word always equal
to 0. In addition, the AVAR, BVAR, and CVAR registers are not
available in the ADE7854. In their place, the HSDC transmits
three 32-bit words that are always equal to 0.
HSDC can be interfaced with SPI or similar interfaces. HSDC is
always a master of the communication and consists of three
pins: HSA, HSD, and HSCLK. HSA represents the select signal.
It stays active low or high when a word is transmitted and it is
usually connected to the select pin of the slave. HSD sends data
to the slave and it is usually connected to the data input pin of
the slave. HSCLK is the serial clock line that is generated by the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 and it is usually connected to the serial clock input of the slave. Figure 86 shows the
connections between the ADE78xx HSDC and slave devices
containing an SPI interface.

The HSDC communication is managed by the HSDC_CFG
register (see Tabl e 53 ). It is recommended to set the HSDC_CFG
register to the desired value before enabling the port using Bit 6
(HSDCEN) in the CONFIG register. In this way, the state of
various pins belonging to the HSDC port do not take levels inconsistent with the desired HSDC behavior. After a hardware reset
SS
or after power-up, the MISO/HSD and
/HSA pins are set high.
Bit 0 (HCLK) in the HSDC_CFG register determines the serial
clock frequency of the HSDC communication. When HCLK is
0 (the default value), the clock frequency is 8 MHz. When HCLK
is 1, the clock frequency is 4 MHz. A bit of data is transmitted
for every HSCLK high-to-low transition. The slave device that
receives data from HSDC samples the HSD line on the low-tohigh transition of HSCLK.
The words can be transmitted as 32-bit packages or as 8-bit
packages. When Bit 1 (HSIZE) in the HSDC_CFG register is 0 (the
default value), the words are transmitted as 32-bit packages. When
Bit HSIZE is 1, the registers are transmitted as 8-bit packages. The
HSDC interface transmits the words MSB first.
Bit 2 (HGAP) introduces a gap of seven HSCLK cycles between
packages when Bit 2 (HGAP) is set to 1. When Bit HGAP is cleared
to 0 (the default value), no gap is introduced between packages
and the communication time is shortest. In this case, HSIZE
does not have any influence on the communication and a data
bit is placed on the HSD line with every HSCLK high-to-low
transition.
Bits[4:3] (HXFER[1:0]) decide how many words are transmitted.
When HXFER[1:0] is 00, the default value, then all 16 words are
transmitted. When HXFER[1:0] is 01, only the words representing
the instantaneous values of phase and neutral currents and phase
voltages are transmitted in the following order: IAWV, VAWV,
IBWV, VBWV, ICWV, VCWV, and one 32-bit word that is always
equal to INWV. When HXFER[1:0] is 10, only the instantaneous
values of phase powers are transmitted in the following order:
AVA, BVA, CVA, AWATT, BWATT, CWATT, AVAR, BVAR, and
CVAR. The value, 11, for HXFER[1:0] is reserved and writing it is
equivalent to writing 00, the default value.
Bit 5 (HSAPOL) determines the polarity of HSA function of the
SS
/HSA pin during communication. When HSAPOL is 0 (the
default value), HSA is active low during the communication.
This means that HSA stays high when no communication is in
progress. When the communication starts, HSA goes low and
stays low until the communication ends. Then it goes back to
SS
high. When HSAPOL is 1, the HSA function of the
/HSA pin
is active high during the communication. This means that HSA
stays low when no communication is in progress. When the
communication starts, HSA goes high and stays high until the
communication ends; then, it goes back to low.
Bits[7:6] of the HSDC_CFG register are reserved. Any value
written into these bits does not have any consequence on HSDC
behavior.
Figure 87 shows the HSDC transfer protocol for HGAP = 0,
HXFER[1:0] = 00 and HSAPOL = 0. Note that the HSDC
interface sets a data bit on the HSD line every HSCLK highto-low transition and the value of Bit HSIZE is irrelevant.

Table 24. Communication Times for Various HSDC Settings
HXFER[1:0] HGAP HSIZE1 HCLK Communication Time (μs)
Tabl e 24 lists the time it takes to execute an HSDC data transfer
for all HSDC_CFG register settings. For some settings, the
transfer time is less than 125 s (8 kHz), the waveform sample
registers update rate. This means the HSDC port transmits data
every sampling cycle. For settings in which the transfer time is
greater than 125 s, the HSDC port transmits data only in the
first of two consecutive 8 kHz sampling cycles. This means it
transmits registers at an effective rate of 4 kHz.

When the AIRMSOS, AVRMSOS, BIRMSOS, BVRMSOS, CIRMSOS, CVRMSOS, and NIRMSOS registers are set to a negative
value, for sufficiently small inputs, the argument of the square root used in the rms data path may become negative. In
this case, the corresponding AIRMS, AVRMS, BIRMS, BVRMS, CIRMS, or CVRMS rms register is automatically set to 0.
Negative values for the AIRMSOS, AVRMSOS, BIRMSOS, BVRMSOS, CIRMSOS, CVRMSOS, and NIRMSOS registers are not
supported in the silicon version identified by the version register being equal to 2.
Do not use negative values for the AIRMSOS, AVRMSOS, BIRMSOS, BVRMSOS, CIRMSOS, CVRMSOS, and NIRMSOS
registers.

Related Issues
Usually, the CF1DEN, CF2DEN, CF3DEN, SAGLVL, and ZXTOUT registers initialize immediately after power-up or after a
hardware/software reset. After the RUN register is set to 1, the energy-to-frequency converter (for CF1DEN, CF2DEN, and CF3DEN), the
phase voltage sag detector (for SAGLVL), and the zero-crossing timeout circuit (for ZXTOUT) use these values immediately.
After the CF1DEN register is initialized with a new value after power-up or a hardware/software reset, the new value may be
delayed and, therefore, not immediately available for use by the energy-to-frequency converter. It is, however, used by the
converter after the first high-to-low transition is triggered at t the CF1 pin using the CF1DEN default value (0x0).
CF2DEN and CF3DEN registers present similar behavior at the CF2 and CF3 pins, respectively. CF1DEN, CF2DEN and CF3DEN
above behavior has been corrected in Version = 4 silicon.
After the SAGLVL register is initialized with a new value after power-up or a hardware or software reset, the new value may be
delayed and not available for immediate use by the phase voltage sag detector. However, it is used by the detector after at least
one phase voltage rises above 10% of the full-scale input at the phase voltage ADCs.
After the ZXTOUT register is initialized with a new value after power-up or a hardware or software reset, the new value may be
delayed and not available for immediate use by the zero-crossing timeout circuit. However, the circuit does use the new value
after at least one phase voltage rises above 10% of the full-scale input at the phase voltage ADCs.
If the behavior outlined in the Issue row does not conflict with the meter specification, then the new values of the CF1DEN,
CF2DEN, CF3DEN, SAGLVL, and ZXTOUT registers may be written one time only.
This ensures the probability of the new value not being considered immediately by the energy-to-frequency converter becomes
lower than 0.2 ppm.
this cannot be guaranteed, then the SAGLVL and ZXTOUT registers should also be written eight consecutive times to reduce the
probability of not being considered immediately by the phase voltage sag detector and zero-crossing timeout circuit.
None.

The read-only rms registers (AVRMS, BVRMS, CVRMS, AIRMS, BIRMS, CIRMS, and NIRMS) can be read without restrictions at
any time.
The fixed function DSP of ADE7854, ADE7858, ADE7868, and ADE7878 computes all the powers and rms values in a loop
with a period of 125 µs (8 kHz frequency). If two rms registers are accessed (read) consecutively, the value of the second
register may be corrupted. Consequently, the apparent power computed during that 125 µs cycle is also corrupted. The
rms calculation recovers in the next 125 µs cycle, and all the rms and apparent power values compute correctly.
The issue appears independent of the communication type, SPI or I
consecutive rms readings is lower than 265 µs. The issue affects only the rms registers; all of the other registers of
ADE7854, ADE7858, ADE7868, and ADE7878 can be accessed without any restrictions.
The rms registers can be read one at a time with at least 265 µs between the start of the readings. DREADY interrupt at the
IRQ0
pin can be used to time one rms register reading every three consecutive DREADY interrupts. This ensures 375 µs
between the start of the rms readings.
Alternatively, the rms registers can be read interleaved with readings of other registers that are not affected by this
restriction as long as the time between the start of two consecutive rms register readings is 265 s.
None.
Internal default settings provide best accuracy performance for ADE7854, ADE7858, ADE7868, and ADE7878.
It was found that if a different setting is used, the accuracy performance can be improved.
To enable a new setting for this internal register, execute two consecutive 8-bit register write operations:
The first write operation: 0xAD is written to Address 0xE7FE.
The second write operation: 0x01 is written to Address 0xE7E2.
The write operations must be executed consecutively without any other read/write operation in between. As a
verification that the value was captured correctly, a simple 8-bit read of Address 0xE7E2 should show the 0x01 value.
