The SAMES SA9105A Three Phase
unidirectional Power/Energy metering
integrated circuit generates a pulse rate
output, the frequency of which is proportional
to the power consumption. The SA9105A
performs the calculations of active power.
The method of calculation takes the power
factor into account.
Energy consumption is determined by the
power measurement being integrated over
time.
The output of this innovative universal three
phase power/energy metering integrated
circuit, is ideally suited for applications such
as residential and industrial energy metering
and control.
The SA9105A integrated circuit is available
in 40 pin dual-in-line plastic (DIP-40), as
well as in 44 pin plastic leaded chip carrier
(PLCC-44) packages types.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SAMES SA9105A is a CMOS mixed signal Analog/Digital integrated circuit, which
performs three phase power/energy calculations over a range of 1000:1, to an overall
accuracy of better than Class 1.
The integrated circuit includes all the required functions for 3-phase power and energy
measurement such as oversampling A/D converters for the voltage and current sense
inputs, power calculation and energy integration. Internal offsets are eliminated through
the use of cancellation procedures.
The SA9105A generates pulses, the frequency of which is proportional to the power
consumption. Three frequency outputs (FOUT1, FOUT2 and FOUT3) are available.
1.Power Calculation
In the Application Circuit (Figure 1), the mains voltages from Line 1, Line 2 and Line
3, are converted to currents and applied to the voltage sense inputs IVP1, IVP2 and
IVP3.
The current levels on the voltage sense inputs are derived from the mains voltage
(3 x 230 VAC) being divided down through voltage dividers to 14V. The resulting
input currents into the A/D converters are 14µA through the resistors R15, R16 and
R17.
For the current sense inputs the voltage drop across the current transformers
terminating resistors are converted to currents of 16µA for rated conditions, by
means of resistors R8, R9 (Phase 1); R10, R11 (Phase 2) and R12, R13 (Phase 3).
The signals providing the current information are applied to the current sensor inputs
IIN1, IIP1; IIN2, IIP2 and IIN3, IIP3.
In this configuration, with the mains voltage of 3 x 230 V and rated currents of 80A,
the output frequency of the SA9105A energy metering integrated circuit at FOUT1
is 1.16kHz. In this case 1 pulse will correspond to an energy consumption of 3 x 18.4
kW/1160Hz = 47.6 Ws.
The output frequency at FOUT2 is FOUT1/4. At FOUT3 the output frequency is
FOUT1/290.

2.Analog Input Configuration
The current and voltage sensor inputs are illustrated below.
These inputs are protected against electrostatic discharge through clamping
diodes, in conjunction with the amplifiers input configuration.
The feedback loops from the outputs of the amplifiers AI and AV generate virtual
shorts on the signal inputs. Exact duplications of the input currents are generated
for the analog processing circuitry

3.Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
The SA9105A integrated circuit's inputs/outputs are protected against ESD according
to Mil-Std 883 method 3015. The SA9105A integrated circuit's resistance to
transients is also dependant upon the external protection components used.
4.Power Consumption
The overall power consumption rating of the SA9105A integrated circuit is less than
75mW with a 5V supply.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
In the Application Circuit (Figure 1), the components required for a three phase power
metering application are shown. Terminated current transformers are used for current
sensing.
The most important external components for the SA9105A integrated circuit are:
C7, C9, C10 and C11 are the outer loop capacitors for the integrated oversampling
A/D converters. The typical value of C7 is 2.2nF and the value of C9, C10 and C11 is
560pF.
The actual values determine the signal to noise and stability performance. The tolerances
should be within ± 10%.
C4, C5, C6 and C8 are the inner loop capacitors for the integrated oversampling A/D
converters. The typical value of C4, C5, C6 and C8 is 3.3nF. Values smaller than 0.5nF
and larger than 5nF should be avoided.
Terminated current sensors (current transformers) are connected to the current sensor
inputs of the SA9105A through current setting resistors (R8 ..R13).
The resistor values should be selected for an input current of 16µA into the SA9105A at
the rated line current.
The values of these resistors should be calculated as follows:
Phase 1:
R8 = R9 = (IL1/16µA) * R18/2
Phase 2:
R10 = R11 = (IL2/16µA) * R19/2
Phase 3:
R12 = R13 = (IL3/16µA) * R20/2
Where I

=Secondary CT current at rated conditions.
=Current transformer termination resistors for the three phases.

R1 + R1A, R4 and R15 set the current for the phase 1 voltage sense input. R2 + R2A, R5 +
P5 and R16 set the current for phase 2 and R3 + R3A, R6 + P6 and R17 set the current for phase
3. The values should be selected so that the input current into the voltage sense inputs
(virtual ground) are set to 14µA for nominal line voltage. Capacitors C1, C2 and C3 are
for decoupling and phase compensation.
R
+ P14 defines all on-chip bias and reference currents. With R14+ P14 = 24kΩ, optimum
14
conditions are set. R14 may be varied within ± 10% for calibration purposes. Any changes
to R
will affect the output quadratically (i.e: ∆R = +5%, ∆f = +10%).
