ADE7761
OPERATION
POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
The ADE7761 contains an on-chip power supply monitor. The
power supply (V
DD
) is continuously monitored by the ADE7761.
If the supply is less than 4 V ± 5%, the ADE7761 goes into an
inactive state, that is, no energy is accumulated and the CF, F1,
and F2 outputs are disabled. This is useful to ensure correct
device operation at power-up and during power-down. The
power supply monitor has built-in hysteresis and filtering. This
gives a high degree of immunity to false triggering due to noisy
supplies.

The power supply and decoupling for the part should be such
that the ripple at V
DD
does not exceed 5 V ± 5% as specified for
normal operation.

ANALOG INPUTS
Channel V1 (Current Channel)
The voltage outputs from the current transducers are connected
to the ADE7761 here. Channel V1 has two voltage inputs, V
1A
and V
1B
. These inputs are fully differential with respect to V
1N
.
However, at any one time, only one is selected to perform the
power calculation (see the Fault Detection section).
The maximum peak differential signal on V
1A
–V
1N
and V
1B
–V
1N
is ±660 mV.
Figure 10 shows the maximum signal levels on V
1A
, V
1B
, and V
1N
.
The differential voltage signal on the inputs must be referenced
to a common mode (usually AGND).

Channel V2 (Voltage Channel)
The output of the line voltage transducer is connected to the
ADE7761 at this analog input. Channel V2 is a single-ended
voltage input. The maximum peak differential signal on
Channel 2 is ±660 mV with respect to V
2N
. Figure 11 shows the
maximum signal levels that can be connected to Channel 2.

must be referenced to a
common mode (usually AGND). The analog inputs of the
ADE7761 can be driven with common-mode voltages of up to
100 mV with respect to AGND. However, the best results are
achieved using a common mode equal to AGND.
MISCAL Input
The input for the power calibration in missing neutral mode is
connected to the ADE7761 at this analog input. MISCAL is a
single-ended voltage input. It is recommended to use a dc signal
derived from the voltage reference to drive this pin. The maxi-
mum peak differential signal on MISCAL is +660 mV with
respect to V
2N
. Figure 12 shows the maximum signal levels that
can be connected to the MISCAL pin.

Typical Connection Diagrams
Figure 13 shows a typical connection diagram for Channel V1.
The analog inputs are being used to monitor both the phase
and neutral currents. Because of the large potential difference
between the phase and neutral, two current transformers (CTs)
must be used to provide the isolation. Note that both CTs are
referenced to analog ground (AGND); the common-mode
