Description
Analog Inputs for the Voltage Channel. This channel is used with the voltage transducer and is
referenced as the voltage channel in this data sheet. These inputs are single-ended voltage inputs
with a maximum signal level of ±0.5 V with respect to VN for specified operation. This channel also
has an internal PGA.
This pin provides access to the on-chip 2.5 V analog low dropout regulator (LDO). Do not connect
external active circuitry to this pin. Decouple this pin with a 4.7 μF capacitor in parallel with a
ceramic 220 nF capacitor.
Ground Reference. This pin provides the ground reference for the analog circuitry. Tie this pin to the
analog ground plane or to the quietest ground reference in the system. Use this quiet ground
reference for all analog circuitry, for example, antialiasing filters, current, and voltage transducers.
Supply Voltage. This pin provides the supply voltage. In PSM0 (normal power mode), maintain the
supply voltage at 3.3 V ± 10% for specified operation. In PSM1 (reduced power mode), PSM2 (low
power mode), and PSM3 (sleep mode), when the ADE7880 is supplied from a battery, maintain the
supply voltage between 2.4 V and 3.7 V. Decouple this pin to DGND with a 10 μF capacitor in parallel with
a ceramic 100 nF capacitor.
Master Clock. An external clock can be provided at this logic input. Alternatively, a parallel resonant
AT-cut crystal can be connected across CLKIN and CLKOUT to provide a clock source for the
ADE7880. The clock frequency for specified operation is 16.384 MHz. Use ceramic load capacitors of
a few tens of picofarad with the gate oscillator circuit. Refer to the crystal manufacturer’s data sheet
for load capacitance requirements.
A crystal can be connected across this pin and CLKIN (as previously described with Pin 27 in this
table) to provide a clock source for the ADE7880.
Interrupt Request Outputs. These are active low logic outputs. See the Interrupts section for a
detailed presentation of the events that can trigger interrupts.
Calibration Frequency (CF) Logic Outputs. These outputs provide power information based on the
CF1SEL[2:0], CF2SEL[2:0], and CF3SEL[2:0] bits in the CFMODE register. These outputs are used for
operational and calibration purposes. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by writing to the
CF1DEN, CF2DEN, and CF3DEN registers, respectively (see the Energy-to-Frequency Conversion
section). CF2 is multiplexed with the HREADY signal generated by the harmonic calculations block.
CF3 is multiplexed with the serial clock output of the HSDC port.
Serial Clock Input for SPI Port/Serial Clock Input for I2C Port. All serial data transfers are synchronized
to this clock (see the Serial Interfaces section). This pin has a Schmidt trigger input for use with a
clock source that has a slow edge transition time, for example, opto-isolator outputs.
Data Out for SPI Port/Data Out for HSDC Port.
Data In for SPI Port/Data Out for I2C Port.
Slave Select for SPI Port/HSDC Port Active.
Create a similar pad on the PCB under the exposed pad. Solder the exposed pad to the pad on the
PCB to confer mechanical strength to the package. Do not connect the pads to AGND or DGND.
