Description

The CS5480 is a high-accuracy, three-channel, energy mea­surement analog front end.

The CS5480 incorporates independent, 4th order, Delta-Sigma
analog-to-digital converters for every channel, reference cir­cuitry, and the proven EXL signal processing core to provide
active, reactive, and apparent energy measurement. In addi­tion, RMS and power factor calculations are available.
Calculations are output via configurable energy pulse, or direct
UART/SPI™ serial access to on-chip registers.

Instantaneous current, voltage, and power measurements are
also available over the serial port. Multiple serial options are
offered to allow customer flexibility. The SPI provides higher
speed, and the 2-wire UART minimizes the cost of isolation
where required.

Three configurable digital outputs provide energy pulses, zero­crossing, energy direction, and interrupt functions. Interrupts
can be generated for a variety of conditions including voltage
sag or swell, overcurrent, and more. On-chip register integrity
is assured via checksum and write protection. The CS5480 is
designed to interface to a variety of voltage and current sen­sors including shunt resistors, current transformers, and
Rogowski coils.

On-chip functionality makes digital calibration simple and ul­tra-fast, minimizing the time required at the end of the
customer production line. Performance across temperature is
ensured with an on-chip voltage reference with very low drift.
A single 3.3V power supply is required, and power consump­tion is very low at <13mW. To minimize space requirements,
the CS5480 is offered in a low-cost, 4mm x 4mm 24-pin QFN
package.

CS5480

1. OVERVIEW

The CS5480 is a CMOS power measurement integrated circuit that uses three  analog-to-digital
converters to measure line voltage, two currents and temperature. It calculates active, reactive, and
apparent power as well as RMS voltage and current and peak voltage and current. It handles other
system-related functions, such as energy pulse generation, voltage sag and swell, overcurrent and
zero-crossing detection, and line frequency measurement.

The CS5480 is optimized to interface to current transformers, shunt resistors, or Rogowski coils for
current measurement and to resistive dividers or voltage transformers for voltage measurement. Two
full-scale ranges are provided on the current inputs to accommodate different types of current sensors.
The CS5480’s three differential inputs have a common-mode input range from analog ground (GNDA) to
the positive analog supply (VDDA).

An on-chip voltage reference (nominally 2.4 volts) is generated and provided at analog output, VREF±.

Three digital outputs (DO1, DO2, and DO3) provide a variety of output signals, and depending on the
mode selected, energy pulses, zero-crossings, or other choices.

The CS5480 includes a UART/SPI™ serial host interface to an external microcontroller. The serial select
(SSEL) pin is used to configure the serial port to be a SPI or UART. SPI signals include serial data input
(SDI), serial data output (SDO), and serial clock (SCLK). UART signals include serial data input (RX) and
serial data output (TX). A chip select (CS
interface with the microcontroller.

) signal allows multiple CS5480s to share the same serial

Figure 1. Oscillator Connections

The CS5480 has a differential input (VIN) for voltage
input and two differential inputsIIN1 IIN2) for
current1 and current2 inputs. The CS5480 also has two
voltage reference pins (VREF) between which a
bypass capacitor should be placed.

2.1.1 Voltage Input

The output of the line voltage resistive divider or
transformer is connected to the (VIN) input of the
CS5480. The voltage channel is equipped with a 10x,
fixed-gain amplifier. The full-scale signal level that can

signal is a sine wave, the maximum RMS voltage is
250mVp/

70.7% of maximum peak voltage.

2.1.2 Current1 and Current2 Inputs

The output of the current-sensing shunt resistor,
transformer, or Rogowski coil is connected to the IIN1
or IIN2 input pins of the CS5480. To accommodate
different current-sensing elements, the current channel
incorporates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with
two selectable input gains, as described in Config0
register description section 6.6.1 Configuration 0

(Config0) – Page 0, Address 0 on page 37. There is a

10x gain setting and a 50x gain setting. The full-scale
signal level for current channels is ±50 mV and ± 250 mV
for 50x and 10x gain settings, respectively. If the input
signal is a sine wave, the maximum RMS voltage is

35.35mV

70.7% of maximum peak voltage.

2.1.3 Voltage Reference

The CS5480 generates a stable voltage reference of

2.4V between the VREF pins. The reference system

also requires a filter capacitor of at least 0.1µF between
the VREF pins.

The reference system is capable of providing a
reference for the CS5480 but has limited ability to drive
external circuitry. It is strongly recommended that
nothing other than the required filter capacitor be
connected to the VREF pins.

2.1.4 Crystal Oscillator

An external, 4.096 MHz quartz crystal can be connected
to the XIN and XOUT pins, as shown in Figure 1. To re­duce system cost, each pin is supplied with an on-chip
load capacitor.

Alternatively, an external clock source can be

2.2 Digital Pins

2.2.1 Reset Input

The active-low RESET pin, when asserted for longer
than 120µs, will halt all CS5480 operations and reset
internal hardware registers and states. When
de-asserted, an initialization sequence begins, setting
default register values. To prevent erroneous
noise-induced resets to the CS5480, an external pull-up
resistor and a decoupling capacitor are necessary on
the RESET

2.2.2 Digital Outputs

The CS5480 provides three configurable digital outputs
(DO1-DO3). They can be configured to output energy
pulses, interrupt, zero-crossings, or energy directions.
Refer to the description of the Config1 register in section

6.6.2 Configuration 1 (Config1) – Page 0, Address 1 on

page 38 for more details.

2.2.3 UART/SPI™ Serial Interface

The CS5480 provides five pins—SSEL, RX/SDI,
TX/SDO, CS
a host microcontroller and the CS5480.

SSEL is an input that, when low, indicates to the
CS5480 to use the SPI port as the serial interface to
communicate with the host microcontroller. The SSEL
pin has an internal weak pull-up. When the SSEL pin is
left unconnected or pulled high externally, the UART
port is used as the serial interface.

clearing the SPI interface. A low logic level enables the
SPI port. Although the CS

pin may be tied low for
systems that do not require multiple SDO drivers, using
the CS

signal is strongly recommended to achieve a

more reliable SPI communication.

SCLK is the serial clock input for the CS5480 SPI port.
Serial data changes as a result of the falling edge of
SCLK and is valid at the rising edge. The SCLK pin is a
Schmitt-trigger input.

SDI is the serial data input to the CS5480.

SDO is the serial data output from the CS5480.

The CS5480 SPI transmits and receives data MSB first.
Refer to Switching Characteristics on page 14 and

Figure 7 on page 15 for more detailed information of

SPI timing.

2.2.3.2 UART

The CS5480 device contains an asynchronous,
full-duplex UART. The UART may be used in either
standard 2-wire communication mode (RX/TX) for
connecting a single device or 3-wire communication
mode (RX/TX/CS
When connecting a single CS5480 device, CS

devices can communicate to the same master UART in
the 3-wire mode by pulling a slave CS

provided to all the slave devices, and each slave device
requires a separate CS
communication to that slave. The multi-device UART

The CS5480 UART operates in 8-bit mode, which
transmits a total of 10 bits per byte. Data is transmitted
and received LSB first, with one start bit, eight data bits,
and one stop bit.

Figure 3. UART Serial Frame Format

The baud rate is defined in the SerialCtrl register. After
chip reset, the default baud rate is 600, if MCLK is

4.096MHz. The baud rate is based on the contents of
bits BR[15:0] in the SerialCtrl register and is calculated
as follows:

BR[15:0] = Baud Rate x (524288/MCLK)

or

Baud Rate = BR[15:0] /(524288 / MCLK)

The maximum baud rate is 512K if MCLK is 4.096 MHz.

supply voltage at the VDDA pin. The “+” and “-” input pins of both input channels are shorted to GNDA. The CS5480 is then
commanded to continuous conversion acquisition mode, and digital output data is collected for the channel under test. The
(zero-to-peak) value of the digital sinusoidal output signal is determined, and this value is converted into the (zero-to-peak) value
of the sinusoidal voltage (measured in mV) that would need to be applied at the channel’s inputs in order to cause the same digital
sinusoidal output. This voltage is then defined as V

10. Specified at maximum recommended output of 1µA sourcing. VREF is a sensitive signal; the output of the VREF circuit has a
high output impedance so that the 0.1µF reference capacitor provides attenuation even to low-frequency noise, such as 50 Hz
noise on the VREF output. Therefore VREF is intended for the CS5480 only and should not be connected to any external circuitry.
The output impedance is sufficiently high that standard digital multimeters can significantly load this voltage. The accuracy of the
metrology IC cannot be guaranteed when a multimeter or any component other than the 0.1µF capacitor is attached to VREF. If
it is desired to measure VREF for any reason other than a very course indicator of VREF functionality, Cirrus recommends a very
high input impedance multimeter such as the Keithley Model 2000 Digital Multimeter be used. Cirrus cannot guarantee the
accuracy of the metrology with this meter connected to VREF.

Figure 10. Signal Flow for V2, I2, P2, and Q2 Measurements

The signal flow for voltage measurement, current
measurement, and the other calculations is shown in

Figures 9, 10, and 11.

The signal flow consists of two current channels and a
voltage channel. Even though the CS5480 has only one
voltage channel or voltage analog signal input, there are
two separate voltage digital signal paths (V1 and V2).
Both V1 and V2 come from the same ADC output. Each
current and voltage channel has its own differential
input pin.

4.1 Analog-to-Digital Converters

All three input channels use fourth-order delta-sigma
modulators to convert the analog inputs to single-bit
digital data streams. The converters sample at a rate of
MCLK/8. This high sampling provides a wide dynamic
range and simplifies anti-alias filter design.

CS5480

4.2 Decimation Filters

The single-bit modulator output data is widened to 24
bits and down sampled to MCLK/1024 with low-pass
decimation filters. These decimation filters are
third-order Sinc filters. The outputs of the filters are
passed through an IIR "anti-sinc" filter.

4.3 IIR Filters

The IIR filters are used to compensate for the amplitude
roll-off of the decimation filters. The droop-correction
filter flattens the magnitude response of the channel out
to the Nyquist frequency, thus allowing for accurate
measurements of up to 2kHz (MCLK = 4.096MHz). By
default, the IIR filters are enabled. The IIR filters can be
bypassed by setting the IIR_OFF bit in the Config2
register.

Figure 11. Low-rate Calculations

4.4 Phase Compensation

Phase compensation changes the phase of voltage
relative to current by adding a delay in the decimation
filters. The amount of phase shift is set by the PC
register bits CPCCx[1:0] and FPCCx[8:0] for current
channels. For voltage channels, only bits CPCCx[1:0]
affect the delay.

Fine phase compensation control bits, FPCCx[8:0],
provide up to 1/OWR delay in the current channels.
Coarse phase compensation control bits, CPCCx[1:0],
provide an additional 1/OWR delay in the current
channel or up to 2/OWR delay in the voltage channel.
Negative delay in voltage channel can be implemented
by setting a longer delay in the current channel than the
voltage channel. For a OWR of 4000Hz, the delay range
is ±500µs, a phase shift of ±8.99° at 50Hz and ±10.79°
at 60Hz. The step size is 0.008789° at 50Hz and

0.010547° at 60Hz.

4.5 DC Offset and Gain Correction

The system and CS5480 inherently have component
tolerances and gain and offset errors, which can be
removed using the gain and offset registers. Each
measurement channel has its own set of gain and offset
registers. For every instantaneous voltage and current
sample, the offset and gain values are used to correct
DC offset and gain errors in the channel (see section 7.

System Calibration on page 63 for more details).

4.6 High-pass and Phase Matching Filters

Optional high-pass filters (HPF in Figures 9 and 10)
remove any DC component from the selected signal
paths. Each power calculation contains a current and
voltage channel. If an HPF is enabled in only one
channel, a phase matching filter (PMF) should be

applied to the other channel to match the phase
response of the HPF. For AC power measurement,
high-pass filters should be enabled on the voltage and
current channels. For information about how to enable
and disable the HPF or PMF on each channel, refer to
section 6.6.3 Configuration 2 (Config2) – Page 16,

Address 0 on page 40.

4.7 Digital Integrators

Optional digital integrators (INT in Figures 9 and 10) are
implemented on both current channels (I1, I2) to
compensate for the 90º phase shift and 20dB/decade
gain generated by the Rogowski coil current sensor.
When a Rogowski coil is used as the current sensor, the
integrator (INT) should be enabled on that current
channel. For information about how to enable and
disable the INT on each current channel, refer to section

6.6.3 Configuration 2 (Config2) – Page 16, Address 0 on

page 40.

4.8 Low-rate Calculations

All the RMS and power results come from low-rate cal­culations by averaging the output word rate (OWR) in­stantaneous values over N samples where N is the
value stored in the SampleCount register. The low-rate
interval or averaging period is N divided by OWR
(4000Hz if MCLK = 4.096MHz). The CS5480 provides
two averaging modes for low-rate calculations: Fixed
Number of Samples Averaging mode and Line-cycle
Synchronized Averaging mode. By default, the CS5480
averages with the Fixed Number of Samples Averaging
mode. By setting the AVG_MODE bit in the Config2 reg­ister, the CS5480 will use the Line-cycle Synchronized
Averaging mode.

4.8.1 Fixed Number of Samples Averaging

N is the preset value in the SampleCount register and
should not be set less than 100. By default, the Sample-
Count is 4000. With MCLK = 4.096MHz, the averaging
period is fixed at N/4000 = 1 second, regardless of the
line frequency.

4.8.2 Line-cycle Synchronized Averaging

When operating in Line-cycle Synchronized Averaging
mode, and when line frequency measurement is
enabled (see section 5.4 Line Frequency Measurement
on page 22), the CS5480 uses the voltage (V) channel
zero crossings and measured line frequency to
automatically adjust N such that the averaging period
will be equal to the number of half line-cycles in the
CycleCount register. For example, if the line frequency
is 51Hz, and the CycleCount register is set to 100,
N will be 4000

(100 / 2) / 51 = 3921 during continuous

conversion. N is self-adjusted according to the line
frequency; therefore, the averaging period is always
close to the whole number of half line-cycles, and the
low-rate calculation results will minimize ripple and
maximize resolution, especially when the line frequency
varies. Before starting a low-rate conversion in
Line-cycle Synchronized Averaging mode, the
SampleCount register should not be changed from its
default value of 4000, and bit AFC of the Config2
register must be set. During continuous conversion, the
host processor should not change the SampleCount
register.

4.8.3 RMS Current and Voltage

The root mean square (RMS in Figure 11) calculations
are performed on N instantaneous current and voltage
samples using Equation 1:

4.8.5 Reactive Power

Instantaneous reactive power (Q1, Q2) are sample rate
results obtained by multiplying instantaneous current
(I1, I2) by instantaneous quadrature voltage
(V1Q, V2Q), which are created by phase shifting the
instantaneous voltage (V1, V2) 90 degrees using
first-order integrators (see Figures 9 and 11). The gain
of these integrators is inversely related to line
frequency, so their gain is corrected by the Epsilon
register, which is based on line frequency. Reactive
power (Q1

AVG

, Q2

) is generated by integrating the

AVG

instantaneous quadrature power over N samples.

4.8.6 Apparent Power

By default, the CS5480 calculates the apparent power
(S1, S2) as the product of RMS voltage and current as
shown in Equation 2:

The CS5480 also provides an alternate apparent power
calculation method, which uses real power (P1

P2

) and reactive power (Q1

AVG

, Q2

) to calcu-

late apparent power, as shown in Equation 3:

The APCM bit in the Config2 register controls which
method is used for apparent power calculation.

) are calculated over N samples and recorded in

the register map. This peak value is updated every N

4.8.8 Power Factor

Power factor (PF1, PF2) is active power divided by ap­parent power as shown in Equation 4. The sign of the
power factor is determined by the active power.

4.8.4 Active Power

The instantaneous voltage and current samples are
multiplied to obtain the instantaneous power (P1, P2)
(see Figures 9 and 11). The product is then averaged
over N samples to compute active power (P1

).

coupling and the applied voltage. The reactive power

5. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.1 Power-on Reset

The CS5480 has an internal power supply supervisor
circuit that monitors the VDDA and VDDD power
supplies and provides the master reset to the chip. If
any of these voltages are in the reset range, the master
reset is triggered.

The CS5480 has dedicated power-on reset (POR)
circuits for the analog supply and digital supply. During
power-up, both supplies have to be above the rising
threshold for the master reset to be de-asserted.

Each POR is divided into two blocks: rough and fine.
Rough POR triggers the fine POR. Rough POR
depends only on the supply voltage. The trip point for
the fine POR is dependent on bandgap voltage for
precise control. The POR circuit also acts as a
brownout detect. The fine POR detects supply drops
and asserts the master reset. The rough and fine PORs
have hysteresis in their rise and fall thresholds, which
prevents the reset signal from chattering.

Figure 9 shows the POR outputs for each of the power
supplies. The POR_Fine_VDDA and POR_Fine_VDDD
signals are AND-ed to form the actual power-on reset
signal to the digital circuity. The digital circuitry, in turn,
holds the master reset signal for 130ms and then
de-asserts the master reset.

5.2 Power Saving Modes

Power Saving modes for the CS5480 are accessed
through the Host Commands (see section 6.1 Host

Commands on page 29).

• Standby: Powers down all the ADCs, rough buffer,
and the temperature sensor. Standby mode disables
the system time calculations. Use the wake-up
command to come out of standby mode.

• Wake-up: Clears the ADC power-down bits and
starts the system time calculations.

After any of these commands are completed, the DRDY
bit is set in the Status0 register.

5.3 Zero-crossing Detection

Zero-crossing detection logic is implemented in the
CS5480. One current and one voltage channel can be
selected for zero-crossing detection. The IZX_CH
control bit in the Config0 register is used to select the
zero-crossing channel. A low-pass filter can be enabled
by setting ZX_LPF bit in register Config2. The low-pass
filter has a cut-off frequency of 80Hz. It is used to
eliminate any harmonics and help the zero-crossing
detection on the 50Hz or 60 Hz fundamental
component. The zero-crossing level registers are used
to set the minimum threshold over which the channel
peak has to exceed in order for the zero-crossing
detection logic to function. There are two separate
zero-crossing level registers: VZX
for the voltage channels, and IZX
for the current channels.
