ENERGY REGISTERS
The 90E21/22/23/24 provides energy pulse output CFx (CF1/CF2)
which is proportionate to active/reactive energy. Energy is usually accumulated by adding the CFx pulses in system applications. Alternatively,
the 90E21/22/23/24 provides energy registers. There are forward
(inductive), reverse (capacitive) and absolute energy registers for both
active and reactive energy. Refer to Table-6.

1.5625%, altogether 16 choices. The configuration is made by the
Pthresh[3:0] bits (MMode, 2BH) and the default value is 3.125%. The
threshold is applicable for active energy. The metering line of the reactive energy follows that of the active energy.
The 90E23 and 90E24 have two current sampling circuits with N line
metering and anti-tampering functions. The MMD1 and MMD0 pins are
used to configure the metering mode. Refer to Table-7.
Compare Method
In anti-tampering mode, the compare method is as follows:

This method can achieve hysteresis around the threshold automatically. L line is employed after reset by default.
The 90E23 and 90E24 have two current sampling circuits with different gain configurations. L line gain can be 1, 4, 8, 16 and 24, and N line
gain can be 1, 2 and 4. The configuration is made by the MMode register
(2BH). Generally L line can be sampled over shunt resistor or CT. N line
can be sampled over CT for isolation consideration. Note that Rogowski
coil is not supported.
3.4.2
Special Treatment at Low Power
When power is low, general factors such as the quantization error or
calibration difference between L line and N line might cause the power
difference to be exceeded. To ensure L line and N line to start up normally, special treatment as follows is adopted:
ANTI-TAMPERING MODE
The line with higher power is selected as the metering line when both
L line and N line power are lower than 8 times of the startup power but
higher than the startup power.
Threshold
In anti-tampering mode, the power difference threshold between L
line and N line can be: 1%, 2%,... 12%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.125% and

MEASUREMENT AND ZERO-CROSSING
3.5.1
MEASUREMENT
The above measurements are all calculated with fiducial error except
for frequency. The frequency accuracy is 0.01Hz, and the other measurement accuracy is 0.5%. Fiducial error is calculated as follow:
The 90E21/22/23/24 has the following measurements:
• voltage rms
• current rms (L line/N line)
• mean active power (L line/N line)
• mean reactive power (L line/N line)
• voltage frequency
• power factor (L line/N line)
• phase angle between voltage and current (L line/N line)
• mean apparent power (L line/N line)
Fiducial_E rror =
U mea - U real
* 100%
U FV
Where Umea is the measured voltage, Ureal is the actual voltage and
UFV is the fiducial value.

Note 1: All registers are of 16 bits. For cases when the current and active/reactive/apparent power goes beyond the above range, it is suggested to be handled by
microcontroller (MCU) in application. For example, register value can be calibrated to 1/2 of the actual value during calibration, then multiply 2 in application. Note that
if the actual current is twice of that of the 90E21/22/23/24, the actual active/reactive/apparent power is also twice of that of the chip.
Note 2: The accuracy is not guaranteed when the current is lower than 15mA. Note that the tolerance is 25 mA at IFV of 5A and fiducial accuracy of 0.5%.
Note 3: Power factor is obtained by active power dividing apparent power
Note 4: Phase angle is obtained when voltage/current crosses zero at the frequency of 256kHz. Precision is not guaranteed at small current.
3.5.2
ZERO-CROSSING
The ZX pin is asserted when the sampling voltage crosses zero.
Zero-crossing mode can be configured to positive zero-crossing, negative zero-crossing and all zero-crossing by the Zxcon[1:0] bits (MMode,
2BH). Refer to section 6.4.
The zero-crossing signal can facilitate operations such as relay operation and power line carrier transmission in typical smart meter applications.

CALIBRATION

Metering Calibration
RESET
Only single-point calibration is needed over the entire dynamic
range.
The 90E21/22/23/24 has an on-chip power supply monitor circuit with
built-in hysteresis. The 90E21/22/23/24 only works within the voltage
range.
Metering calibration is realized by first calibrating gain at unity power
factor and then calibrating phase angle compensation at 0.5 inductive
power factor.
The 90E21/22/23/24 has three means of reset: power-on reset, hardware reset and software reset. All registers resume to their default value
after reset.
Power-on Reset: Power-on reset is initiated during power-up. Refer
to section 6.3.
However, due to very small signal in L line current sampling circuits,
any external interference, e.g., a tens of nano volts influence voltage on
shunt resistor conducted by transformer in the energy meter’s power
supply may cause perceptible metering error, especially in low current
state. For this nearly constant external interference, the 90E21/22/23/24
also provides power offset compensation.
Hardware Reset: Hardware Reset is initiated when the reset pin is
pulled low. The width of the reset signal should be over 200μs.
Software Reset: Software Reset is initiated when ‘789AH’ is written
to the software reset register (SoftReset, 00H).
L line and N line need to be calibrated sequentially. Reactive does
not need to be calibrated.
Measurement Calibration
Measurement calibration is realized by calibrating the gains for voltage rms and current rms. Considering the possible nonlinearity around
zero caused by external components, the chip also provides offset compensation for voltage rms, current rms, mean active power and mean
reactive power.
Frequency, phase angle and power factor do not need calibration.
For more calibration details, please refer to Application Note AN-641.

SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
In four-wire mode, the CS pin must be driven low for the entire read
or write operation. The first bit on SDI defines the access type and the
lower 7-bit is decoded as address.
SPI is a full-duplex, synchronous channel. There are two SPI modes:
four-wire mode and three-wire mode. In four-wire mode, four pins are
used: CS, SCLK, SDI and SDO. In three-wire mode, three pins are
used: SCLK, SDI and SDO. Data on SDI is shifted into the chip on the
rising edge of SCLK while data on SDO is shifted out of the chip on the
falling edge of SCLK. The LastSPIData register (06H) stores the 16-bit
data that is just read or written.
FOUR-WIRE MODE
Read Sequence
As shown in Figure-6, a read operation is initiated by a high on SDI
followed by a 7-bit register address. A 16-bit data in this register is then
shifted out of the chip on SDO. A complete read operation contains 24
cycles.

THREE-WIRE MODE
In three-wire mode, CS is always at low level. When there is no operation, SCLK keeps at high level. The start of a read or write operation is
triggered if SCLK is consistently low for at least 400μs. The subsequent
read or write operation is similar to that in four-wire mode. Refer to Figure-8 and Figure-9.

TIMEOUT AND PROTECTION
WARNOUT PIN FOR FATAL ERROR WARNING
Timeout occurs if SCLK does not toggle for 6ms in both four-wire and
three-wire modes. When timeout, the read or write operation is aborted.
Fatal error warning is raised through the WarnOut pin in two cases:
checksum calibration error and voltage sag.
If there are more than 24 SCLK cycles when CS is driven low in fourwire mode or between two starts in three-wire mode, writing operation is
prohibited while normal reading operation can be completed by taking
the first 24 SCLK cycles as the valid ones. However, the reading result
might not be the intended one.
Calibration Error
The 90E21/22/23/24 performs diagnosis on a regular basis for important parameters such as calibration parameters and metering configuration. When checksum is not correct, the CalErr[1:0] bits (SysStatus,
01H) are set, and both the WarnOut pin and the IRQ pin are asserted.
When checksum is not correct, the metering part does not work to prevent a large number of pulses during power-on or any abnormal situation upon incorrect parameters.
A read access to an invalid address returns all zero. A write access
to an invalid address is discarded.
Table-9 and Table-10 list the read or write result in different conditions.
Voltage Sag
Voltage sag is detected when voltage is continuously below the voltage sag threshold for one cycle which starts from any zero-crossing
point. Voltage threshold is configured by the SagTh register (03H). Refer
to section 6.5.
