GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADE7756 is a high accuracy electrical power measurement IC with a serial interface and a pulse output.
The ADE7756 incorporates two second order sigma delta
ADCs, reference circuitry, temperature sensor and all the
signal processing required to perform active power and
energy measurement.
This documentation describes the ADE7756 evaluation kit
Hardware and Software functionality. The ADE7756
AD7756 Energy metering IC
EVAL-ADE7756EB
evaluation board, together with the ADE7756 data sheet
and this documentation provides a complete evaluation
platform for the ADE7756.
The evaluation board has been designed so that the
ADE7756 can be evaluated in the end application, i.e.,
Watt-Hour Meter. Using the appropriate transducers on
the current channel (e.g., shunt, CT etc.) the evaluation
board can be connected to a test bench or high voltage
(240V rms) test circuit. An on-board resistor divider
network provides the attenuation for the line voltage. This
application note also describes how the current transducers
should be connected for the best performance.
The evaluation board (watt-hour meter) is configured and
calibrated via the parallel port of a PC. The data interface
between the evaluation board and the PC is fully isolated.
Windows
board which allows it to be quickly configured as an
energy meter.
The evaluation board also functions as a stand alone
evaluation system which can be easily incorporated into an
existing system via a 25 way D-Sub connector.
The evaluation board requires two external 5V power
supplies (one is required for isolation purposes) and the
appropriate current transducer.

Voltage and current signals are connected at the screw terminals SK1 and SK2 respectively. All analog input signals are
filtered using the on-board anti-alias filters before being
presented to the analog inputs of the ADE7756. The
default component values which are shipped with the
evaluation board are the recommended values to be used
with the ADE7756. The user can easily change these
components, however this is not recommended unless the
user is familiar with sigma-delta converters and also the
criteria used for selecting the component values for the
analog input filters—see AN-559 for a more comprehensive description of the anti-alias filters and their function.
Current sense inputs (SK2)
SK2 is a three-way connection block which allows the
ADE7756 to be connected to a current transducer. Figure
1 shows the connector SK2 and the filtering network
which is provided on the evaluation board.
The resistors SH1A and SH1B are by default not populated. They are intended to be used as burden resistors
when a CT is used as the current transducer—see using a
CT as a the current transducer.
The RC networks R41/C11 and R42/C21 are used to
provide phase compensation when a shunt is being used as
the current transducer—see using a shunt as the current
transducer. These RC networks are easily disabled by
placing JP15 & JP25 and removing C11 & C21 (socketed).
The RC networks R50/C50 & R51/C51 are the anti-alias
filters which are required by the on-chip ADCs. The
default corner frequency for these LPFs (Low Pass
Filters) is selected as 4.8kHz (1kΩ & 33nF). These filters
can easily be adjusted by replacing the components on the
evaluation board. However before adjusting the component values of R50, R51, C50 or C51 the user should first
review application note AN-559.

This is how electrical energy is distributed to residential
users in the United States. Phase A and Phase B are
nominally 180° out of phase. The vector addition of the
two currents is easily achieved by using two primary turns
of opposite polarity on the CT.

Figure 2 — CT connection to Current Channel
The CT secondary current is converted to a voltage by
using a burden resistance across the secondary winding
outputs. Care should be taken when using a CT as the
current transducer. If the secondary is left open, i.e., no
burden is connected, a large voltage could be present at
the secondary outputs. This can cause an electrical shock
hazard and potentially damage electronic components.
Warning!
Using a CT without a burden resistor
can lead to electrical shock.
When using a CT as the current sensor, the phase compensation network for a shunt application should be
disabled. This is achieved by closing jumpers JP15/JP25
and removing C11/C21.
The anti-alias filters should be enabled by opening
jumpers JP1/JP3—see Figure 2.
Most CTs will have an associated phase shift of between
0.1° and 1° at 50Hz/60Hz. This phase shift or phase error
can lead to significant energy measurement errors, especially at low power factors—see AN-559 for more information. However this phase error can be corrected by
writing to the Phase Calibration register (PHCAL) in the
ADE7756. The software supplied with the ADE7756
evaluation board allows user adjustment of the Phase
Calibration register. See the Evaluation Software Description
for more information.
For this example, notice that the maximum analog input
range on Channel 1 is set to 1V. And the Gain for Channel 1 has be set to 2. The maximum analog input range
and gain are set via the Gain register (GAIN)—see the
ADE7756 data sheet. The evaluation software allows the
user to configure the channel range and gain. This means
that the maximum peak differential signal on Channel 1 is
0.5V.

Using a shunt resistor as the current transducer
Figure 3 shows how a shunt resistance can be used to
perform the current to voltage conversion required for the
ADE7756. A shunt is a very cost effective way to perform
the current to voltage conversion in a two-wire, singlephase application. No isolation is required in a two-wire
application and the shunt has advantages over the CT
arrangement. For example a shunt does not suffer from dc
saturation problems and the phase response of the shunt is
linear over a very wide dynamic range. Although the shunt
is predominately resistive, it does have parasitic reactive
elements (inductance) which can become significant, even
at 50Hz/60Hz. This means that there can be a small phase
shift associated with the shunt. However once it is understood the phase shift is easily compensated with the filter
network R41/C11 and R42/C21—see AN-559 for a
detailed discussion of this issue.

Figure 3 — Shunt connection to Current Channel
The shunt used in this example is a 200µΩ manganin type.
The resistance of the shunt should be as low as possible in
order to avoid excessive power dissipation in the shunt.
Although the shunt is fabricated from a special alloy
(manganin) which has a very low temperature coefficient
of resistance, excessive heating due to power dissipation
can cause measurement inaccuracies when operating at
heavy loads over extended periods of time.
The manganin shunt used in this example (BVM-DR0002-5.0) is designed specifically for energy metering
applications and is supplied by Isotek Corp.
(http://www.isotekcorp.com).
This shunt is PCB mountable with a current carrying
ability of 70A rms. The technical data supplied by Isotek
Corp. gives detailed information regarding PCB layout.
Figure 3 shows how the shunt can be connected to the
evaluation board. Two sense wired should be soldered to
the shunt at the copper/manganium junctions as shown.
These sense wires should be formed into a twisted pair to
reduce the loop area which will reduce antenna effects. A
connection for the common mode voltage can be made at
the connection point for the current carrying conductor—
see Figure 3.

Voltage sense inputs
The voltage input connections on the ADE7756 evaluation board can be directly connected to the line voltage
source. The line voltage is attenuated using a simple
resistor divider network before it is presented to the
ADE7756. Because of the relatively large signal on this
channel and the small dynamic range requirement, the
voltage channel can be configured in a single-ended
configuration. Figure 4 shows a typical connection for the

The voltage attenuation network is made up of R53, R54
and R56. The maximum signal level permissible at V2P is
1V peak. Although the ADE7756 analog inputs can
withstand ±6V without risk of permanent damage, the
signal range should not exceed ±1V with respect to
AGND, for specified operation.
The attenuation network can be easily modified by the
user to accommodate any input signal levels. However the
value of R56 (1kΩ) should not be altered as the phase
response of Channel 2 should match that of Channel 1—

Figure 6 - Typical set up for the ADE7756 evaluation board
The AD7756 evaluation board is supported by Windows
based software which will allow the user to access all the
functionality of the ADE7756. The software is designed to
communicate with the ADE7756 evaluation board via the
parallel port of the PC.
Installing the AD7756 Software
The ADE7756 Software is supplied on three 3.5'' 1.44MB
floppy disks. The minimum requirements for the PC are
Pentium II 233MHz, 32 MB RAM, 10MB free HD space
and at least one PS/2 or ECP parallel port . To install the
software place disk #1 in the floppy drive and double click
"setup.exe". This will launch the set up program which
will automatically install all the software components
including the uninstall program and create the required
directories. When the set up program has finished installing the "ADE7756Eval" program the user will be
prompted to install the National Instruments run-time
engine. This software was developed using National
Instruments LabView software and the run-time engine is
required in order to run the "ADE7756Eval" program.
When prompted simply place disk #2 in the floppy drive
and hit return. Follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the installation. You will need to reboot your
computer to complete the installation.
To launch the software simply go to the
Start—>Programs—>ADE7756 menu and click on
"ADE7756Eval".
Metering Mode
When the software is launched, the program automatically
starts in Meter Mode. In this mode the evaluation board
can be used as a fully functional energy meter. When the
appropriate line voltage, test current, frequency, and meter
constant have been set up, the user can use the calibration
routine to remove any error associated with the transducers. The CF output can be used with a standard frequency
counter to check the accuracy. The measured CF output
frequency should be adjusted to match the theoretical CF
freq. of the Eval software.
Note that the calibration routine does not automatically
remove phase errors associated with a CT or other
transducer. These must be removed first by using the
ADE7756 PHCAL Register. This is explained later.
Instantaneous Power, Voltage, and Current RMS calculations are also available in this window. They are processed
using the Waveform Sampling routine with the number of
samples defined in this mode.
Uninstalling the ADE7756 Evaluation Software
Both the "ADE7756Eval" program and the NI run-time
engine are easily uninstalled by using the Add/Remove
Programs facility in the control panel. Simply select the
program to uninstall and click the Add/Remove button.
Figure 8 - Meter Mode
Note also that the input signal range and gain must be set
for the PGAs on the Channel 1 and Channel 2. This will
ensure that the output signal range from the transducers is
matched to the analog inputs. For example, in the meter
example shown in Figure 6 the line voltage is attenuated
to approximately 215mV rms or 300mV peak. By selecting a gain of 2 for the PGA in Channel 2, the peak
differential input signal is set to 500mV. Similarly for
Channel 1, assuming a maximum current of 120A the
maximum differential output signal from the CT is
300mV. Therefore the full-scale differential input signal
level is set to 500mV by setting the gain to 2—see Table I
in the ADE7756 data sheet. The PGA settings are made
through the main selection menu. To get to the main
selection menu click the "Quit to Menu" button at any
time.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
Calibrating the meter
In order to calibrate the energy meter, the line voltage,
test current, line frequency and meter constant are entered
as shown in Figure 8. In this example the line voltage is
entered as 220V, test current is 5A, frequency is 50Hz and
the required meter constant is 3200imp/kWh. With the
parameters entered and the voltage and current circuits
energized, click the calibrate button. The software will
then execute the calibration routine and automatically start
to register energy.
If a HP/AGILENT53131A frequency counter is connected
to a GPIB card of the desktop computer, the software will
automatically read the value of the CF frequency and
process the calibration routine. In this case, the calibration
takes about 5 seconds and the user will be notified when it
is complete.
Otherwise, calibration can be proceeded by changing
CFDIV and APGAIN registers as explained in the
ADE7756 datasheet. The measured CF output frequency
is then adjusted to match the theoretical CF freq. of the
Eval software.
Ensure that the analog input signal levels have been
matched to the transducer output signal levels as described
previously.
Main Selection
In order to access all the internal registers of the
ADE7756 the user must return to the Main Selection
Menu. Figure 9 shows the Main Selection Menu and the
various options. From here such things as phase compensation and Channel 1 and Channel 2 PGA setting can be
made.
EVAL-ADE7756EB
To select another option from the menu simply click
on the selection menu. By using the selection menu
the user can read and write the registers of the
ADE7756. This software should be used in conjunction with the ADE7756 data sheet.
Waveform Sampling Routine
In this mode, the Evaluation Software programs the
ADE7756 for Waveform sampling with an updated
rate of 3.5ksps (CLKIN/1024). The user can define
the number of samples needed and select the Signal
Waveform to transfer. Three parameters are processed
when the waveform is displayed: RMS value, Mean
value and Standard Deviation.
When using this feature with sinewave signals, the
user should be aware that if the samples represent a
non entire number of period of the selected signal
then the RMS and Mean values are biased. To correct
this, the number of samples should be chosen to give
an entire number of signal cycles:
×
#
samples
Note: If Channel 1 and Channel 2 are at the same
frequency then the signal frequency of the Multiplier
Waveform shoud be chosen as twice the Channel1
Frequency to correct the Signal Processing bias.

on-line help features. In order to activate the help
function goto Help on the Menu Bar and select "Show

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
Measuring CT Phase Errors using the ADE7756
The ADE7756 itself can be used to measure a CT (and
external components) phase error during calibration. The
assumption is that the ADE7756 has no internal phase
error (PHCAL = 00 hex) and the error due to external
components is small (<0.5°). The procedure is based on a
two point measurement, at PF=1 and PF = 0.5 (lag). The
PF is set up using the test bench source and this source
must be very accurate. The ADE7756 should be configured for energy measurement mode.
An energy measurement is first made with PF=1 (measurement A). A second energy measurement should be
made at PF=0.5 (measurement B). The frequency output
CF can be used for this measurement. Using the formula
shown below the phase error is easily calculated:

For example, using the frequency output CF to measure
power, a frequency of 3.66621Hz is recorded for a PF=1.
The PF is then set to 0.5 lag and a measurement of
1.83817Hz is obtained. Using the formula above the
phase error on Channel 1 is calculated as:
Using the Phase Calibration to correct
small (<0.5°) external phase errors
From the previous example it is seen that the CT introduced a phase lead in Channel 1 of 0.091° . Therefore
instead of 60° phase difference between Channel 1 and
Channel 2, it is actually 59.89°. In order to bring the
phase difference back to 60°, the phase compensation
circuit in Channel 2 is used to introduce an extra lead of
0.091°. This is achieved by reducing the amount of time
delay in Channel 2.
The maximum time delay adjustment in Channel 2 is
±143µs with a CLKIN of 3.579545MHz. The PHCAL
register is a signed 2's complement 6 bit register. Therefore each LSB is equivalent to 4.47µs. In this example the
line frequency is 50Hz. This means each LSB is equivalent to (360° x 4.47µs x 50) = 0.08°. To introduce a lead
of 0.091° the delay in Channel 2 must be reduced. This is
achieved by writing -1 (FFh) or +0.08° to the PHCAL
register.

The formula will also give the correct sign for the phase
error. In this example the phase error is calculated as
+0.091° at the input to the Channel 1 of ADE7756. This
means that the CT has introduced a phase lead of 0.091°.
Therefore the phase difference at thr input to Channel 1 is
now 59.89° lag instead of 60° lag. Determining whether
the error is a lead or lag can also be figured intuitively
from the frequency output. Figure 11 shows how the
output frequency varies with phase (cos{φ}). Since the
output frequency B (1.83817Hz) at the PF=0.5 lag setting
in the example is actually greater than A/2 (1.833105Hz),
this means the phase error between Channel 1 and Channel 2 was actually less than 60°. This means there was
additional lead in Channel 1 due to the CT.

Correcting large external phase errors
In this example the phase correction range at 50Hz is only
approximatey ±2.5°. However it is best to only use the
PHCAL register for small phase corrections, i.e., <0.5°.
If larger corrections are required the larger part of the
correction can be made using external passive component.
For example the resistors in the anti-alias filter can be
modified to shift the corner frequency of the filter so as to
introduce more or less lag. The lag through the anti-alias
filters with 1kΩ and 33nF is 0.56° at 50Hz. Fine adjust
can be made with the PHCAL register. Note that typically
CT phase shift will not vary significantly from part to
part. If a CT phase shift is 1°, then the part to part
variation should only be about ±0.1°. Therefore the bulk
of the phase shift (1°) can be canceled with fixed component values at design. The remaining small adjustments
can be made in production using the PHCAL register.

The sensitivity to ground noise of the analog section of the
system leads to select with cautious the set up of the
evaluation board.
To obtain the best performances from the evaluation board,
when it is used in a real meter configuration (Voltage = 220V
and current sensor connected), the configuration of Table1
should be applied.
This set up requires three 5volts Power supplies, an additional Ferrite Bead (Type Panasonic, EXCELSA391) and
the disconnection of U2.
If the CF pin is used to measure the accuracy of the system,
the connection between the ADE7756's CF pin and the input
of the opto-isolator should be restored by connecting U2.8
and U2.9 - Figure 13. The trace between BNC2 connector and
the SUB-D25 P1 connector should also been cut if this
connector is used to connect a PC via the parallel cable - Figure
12.
