Application Note
CS5480/84/90 Measurement Accuracy
vs. IEC Standards
1. Introduction
Cirrus Logic’s CS5480, CS5484, and CS5490 energy measurement ICs benefit from on-chip, high-performance, 24bit ADC converters in conjunction with its digital calibration and compensation algorithms. This application note presents accuracy results from testing the CS5480. The CS5484 and CS5490 uses the same core technology as the
CS5480. Testing results of the CS5484 and CS5490 show nearly identical results.
The CS5480 has world-leading accuracy over an extensive, dynamic range. This application note cites measurements of active energy, reactive energy, and I
types of current sensor: Rogowski coil, current transformer (CT), and shunt. A comparison between the CS5480
measurements and the IEC 62053 standards is presented. This comparison shows that the CS5480 meets IEC
62053-22 class 0,2S standards for active energy and IEC 62053-23 class 2 standards for reactive energy. Comparison with the ANSI C12.20 standard is not included in this application note because the ANSI standard is less stringent than the IEC 62053 standard, so it is implied that the CS5480 meets it.

The Cirrus Logic CDB5480U demonstration board and current sensor form a single-phase, two-wire energy meter.
The CDB5480U software is installed on a host PC and used to configure, calibrate, and control the meter using the
USB port. The software collects the measurement results from the CS5480 registers once per second. CAMCAL
for WINDOWS software controls the MTE Meter Test Equipment AG PPS400.3 power source and PRS400.3 power
reference using two COM ports. CAMCAL performs the active and reactive accuracy test procedure automatically.
The active or reactive energy pulses provided by the CS5480 drive the on-board LED using energy pulse output
DO1. The energy pulses are sensed by photoelectric scanning head SH2003 and directed back into PRS400.3. The
accuracy of the active and reactive energy is then measured by PRS400.3 and sent to the CAMCAL software. The
meter constant is 2000 impulses/ kWh, or 2000 impulses/ kVarh.
I
accuracy is manually calculated and based on a 10-second average using the I
RMS
register is read once per second using the CDB5480U software.
2.1Calibrations and Meter Types
Prior to the accuracy test, the following calibrations and compensations were performed:
• Gain calibration
• AC offset calibration
• Phase compensation
• Active and reactive power offset correction
Using the CDB5480U board with different current sensors forms different types of meters. To test the accuracy of
the CS5480, the following meters were formed:
