ADE7761B
THEORY OF OPERATION
POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
The ADE7761B continuously monitors the power supply (VDD)
with its on-chip power supply monitor. If the supply is less than
4 V ± 5%, the ADE7761B 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 that provide 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 VDD 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 ADE7761B at Channel V1. It has two voltage inputs, V1A
and V1B. These inputs are fully differential with respect to V1N.
However, at any one time, only one input is selected to perform
the power calculation (see the Fault Detection section).
The maximum peak differential signal on V1A − V1N and V1B − V1N
is ±660 mV. However, Channel V1 has a programmable gain
amplifier (PGA) with user-selectable gains of 1 and 16 (see
Table 5). This gain facilitates easy transducer interfacing.

Figure 12 shows the maximum signal levels on V1A, V1B, and
V1N. The maximum differential voltage is ±660 mV divided by
the gain selection. 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
ADE7761B at this analog input. Channel V2 is a single-ended
voltage input. The maximum peak differential signal on
Channel V2 is ±660 mV with respect to V2N. Figure 13 shows the
maximum signal levels that can be connected to Channel V2.

The differential voltage V2P − V2N must be referenced to a
common mode (usually AGND). The analog inputs of the
ADE7761B 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 ADE7761B 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
maximum peak differential signal on MISCAL is 660 mV with
respect to V2N. Figure 14 shows the maximum signal levels that
can be connected to the MISCAL pin.

100 mV with respect to AGND. However, best results are achieved
using a common mode equal to AGND.
