Figure 36 shows this Apparent Energy accumulation for full
scale signals (sinusoidal) on the analog inputs. The three
curves displayed, illustrate the minimum time it takes the
energy register to roll-over when the individual VA Gain
registers contents are all equal to 3FFh, 000h and 800h. The
VA Gain registers are used to carry out an apparent power
calibration in the ADE7754. As shown, the fastest integration
time will occur when the VA Gain registers are set to
maximum full scale, i.e., 3FFh.

Figure 36 - Energy register roll-over time for full-scale
power (Minimum & Maximum Power Gain)
Note that the Apparent Energy register contents roll-over to
full-scale negative (80,0000h) and continue increasing in
value when the power or energy flow is positive - see Figure
36.
By using the Interrupt Enable register, the ADE7754 can be
configured to issue an interrupt (
IRQ
) when the Apparent
Energy register is half full (positive or negative).
Integration times under steady load
As mentioned in the last section, the discrete time sample
period (T) for the accumulation register is 1.2μs (12/
CLKIN). With full-scale sinusoidal signals on the analog
inputs and the VA Gain registers set to 000h, the average
word value from each Apparent Power stage is D1B71h - see
Apparent Power output range
. The maximum value which can be
stored in the Apparent Energy register before it over-flows is
2
23
-1
or FF,FFFFh. As the average word value is added to
the internal register which can store 2
48
- 1 or
FFFF,FFFF,FFFFh before it overflows, the integration
time under these conditions with VADIV=0 is calculated as
follows:

When VADIV is set to a value different from 0, the integra-
tion time varies as shown on Equation 23.

LINE APPARENT ENERGY ACCUMULATION
The ADE7754 is designed with a special Apparent Energy
accumulation mode which simplifies the calibration process.
By using the on-chip zero-crossing detection, the ADE7754
accumulates the Apparent Power signal in the LVAENERGY
register for an integral number of half cycles, as shown in
Figure 37. The line Apparent energy accumulation mode is
always active.
Each one of three phases zero-crossing detection can contrib-
ute to the accumulation of the half line cycles. Phase A, B and
C zero crossings are taken into account when counting the
number of half line cycle by setting to logic one bits 4-6 of
the MMODE register. Selecting phases for the Zero crossing
counting has also the effect of enabling the Zero-crossing
detection, Zero-crossing Time-Out and Period Measure-
ment for the corresponding phase as described in the
Zero-crossing Detection paragraph.
The number of half line cycles is specified in the LINCYC
register. LINCYC is an unsigned 16-bit register. The
ADE7754 can accumulate Apparent Power for up to 65535
combined half cycles. Because the Apparent Power is inte-
grated on the same integral number of line cycles as the Line
Active Energy register, these two values can be compared
easily - see Energy Scaling. The active and apparent Energy
are calculated more accurately because of this precise timing
control and provide all the information needed for Reactive
Power and Power Factor calculation. At the end of an energy
calibration cycle the LINCYC flag in the Interrupt Status
register is set. If the LINCYC mask bit in the Interrupt Mask
register is enabled, the
IRQ
output will also go active low.
Thus the
IRQ
line can also be used to signal the end of a
calibration.
