2. General Description
The AS8218 / AS8228 are highly integrated CMOS
single-phase energy metering devices for fully
electronic LCD meter systems. The AS8218 /
AS8228 have been designed to ensure the meters
full compliance with the international Standards
IEC62052 and ANSI.
The AS8218 / AS8228 ICs include all the functions
required for conventional 1 current or 2-current
anti-tamper meters. The functions include precision
energy measurement, an 8-bit microcontroller unit
(MCU), an on-chip Liquid Crystal Display driver
(LCDD), programmable multi-purpose
Inputs/Outputs (MPIO), a real time clock/calendar
(RTC) for complex tariff functions such as time-of-
use or maximum demand billing and a Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) for reading data from and
writing data to an external non-volatile memory
(EEPROM).
The AS8218 / AS8228 ICs have a dedicated energy
measurement front-end, which includes an analog
front-end and programmable Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) from which active energy, mains
voltage and mains current are provided. Reactive
and apparent energy can also be calculated.
The on-chip 8-bit 8051 compatible microcontroller
is freely programmable and provides user access to
the various functional blocks. The dedicated
Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter
(UART1) in the System Control block provides
access to various system functions and blocks. A
second UART (UART2) is also provided, which may
for example be used for debugging. The on-chip
memory includes 24kByte program memory and
1kByte data memory. The meter system designer
can select the size of the external EEPROM
memory from 1kByte to 32kByte (in binary steps).

Data Sheet AS8218 / AS8228
An on-chip programmable watchdog timer (WDT) is
available to automatically initiate a system reset if
a regular ‘hold-off’ signal is not detected.
The system timing and real time clock (RTC) has a
dedicated external battery supply pin (VDD_BAT),
enabling the oscillator and RTC to continue during
‘power-down’. The RTC may be digitally calibrated
for oscillator frequency accuracy.
The LCD Driver (LCDD) block enables the display
of information provided by the microcontroller,
directly to the LCD. Two dedicated data register
banks are provided to simplify programming,
particularly in the case where the display data
needs to be scrolled.
The programmable multi-purpose I/O pins (MPIO)
may be independently configured as inputs or
outputs. All the I/O pins are programmable for data
direction, pull-up/pull-down resistors and drive
strength (4mA/8mA). Typical functions may include
LED energy consumption pulse output, energy
direction and fault condition indication depending
on current 1 or current 2 being active for the
energy calculation, push button for display
scrolling, mains isolation relay control for
prepayment meters, optical interface etc.
An on-chip analog ground buffer (ABUF) and
voltage reference (VREF) ensures that no external
circuitry is required. A power-supply monitor (PSM)
provides a reset, when VDD falls below a safe
operating threshold.
A reset pin (RES_N) is available for external
system reset.
The AS8218 / AS8228 ICs are available in LQFP64
plastic packages.
