GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADE7761B is a high accuracy, fault-tolerant, electrical energy
measurement IC intended for use with 2-wire distribution systems.
The part specifications surpass the accuracy requirements as
quoted in the IEC 62053-21 standard. The only analog circuitry
used on the ADE7761B is in the ADCs and reference circuit.
All other signal processing (such as multiplication and filtering)
is carried out in the digital domain. This approach provides
superior stability and accuracy over extremes in environmental
conditions and over time. The ADE7761B incorporates a fault
detection scheme similar to the
ADE7751
by continuously
monitoring both phase and neutral currents. A fault is indicated
when the currents differ by more than 6.25%.
The ADE7761B incorporates a missing neutral detection scheme
by continuously monitoring the input voltage. When a missing
neutral condition is detected (no voltage input), the ADE7761B
continues billing based on the active current signal (see the
Missing Neutral Mode section). The missing neutral condition
is indicated when the FAULT pin goes high. The ADE7761B
supplies average active power information on the low frequency
outputs, F1 and F2. The CF logic output gives instantaneous
active power information.
The ADE7761B includes a power supply monitoring circuit on
the V
DD
supply pin. Internal phase matching circuitry ensures
that the voltage and current channels are matched. An internal
no-load threshold ensures that the ADE7761B does not exhibit
any creep when there is no load.

PERFORMANCE ISSUES THAT MAY AFFECT
BILLING ACCURACY
The ADE7761B provides pulse outputs, CF, F1, and F2, that are
intended to be used for the billing of active energy. Pulses are
generated at these outputs in two different situations.
Case 1
When the analog input V
2P
− V
2N
complies with the conditions
described in Figure 34, the CF, F
1
, and F
2
frequencies are
proportional to active power and can be used to bill active energy.
Case 2
When the analog input V
2P
− V
2N
does not comply with the
conditions described in Figure 34, the ADE7761B does not
measure active energy but a quantity proportional to kiloampere-
hours (kAh). This quantity is used to generate pulses on the
same CF, F1, and F2. This situation is indicated when the
FAULT pin is high.
Analog Devices, Inc., cautions users of the ADE7761B about the
following:
•
Billing active energy in Case 1 is consistent with the under-
standing of the quantity represented by pulses on the CF, F1,
and F2 outputs (watthour).
•
Billing active energy while the ADE7761B is in Case 2 must
be decided knowing that the entity measured by the ADE7761B
in this case is ampere-hour and not watthour. Users should
be aware of this limitation and decide if the ADE7761B is
appropriate for their application.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
