Although this kit can also be used to test the ADE7932 isolated ADC, the board is populated with only ADE7978 and ADE7933 devices and thus only the ADE7978 and ADE7933 are referred to in this user guide. The kit requires purchasing a third board, the controller board for the system demonstration platform (EVAL-SDP-CB1Z). The ADE7978/ ADE7933 evaluation kit includes evaluation software, written in LabVIEW®, that provides access to the registers and features of the chipsets using a PC interface. 11670-001 TYPICAL SETUP Figure 1.

Be sure to order EVAL-SDP-CB1Z when ordering your evaluation board; the kit and the SDP-B are purchased and packaged separately, but must be used together. The SDP interface board is provided in the kit. The 20-pin connector (P6) of the SDP interface board is connected to connector P7 of the ADE7978/ADE7933 evaluation board. The 120-pin connector of the interface board is connected to the 120-pin connector of the SDP Blackfin board. It consists of an ADSP-BF527 microcontroller that handles all the communications from the PC to the ADE7978 and ADE7933 devices populating the evaluation board (see Figure 3). 11670-002 To evaluate the chipset, three boards are connected together (see Figure 1). The ADE7978/ADE7933 evaluation board, which is populated with one ADE7978 and four ADE7933 isolated ADCs, can be used as an implementation example of a three-phase energy meter (see Figure 2).

A 3.3 V regulator then powers the SDP board microcontroller and the ADE7978/ADE7933 chipsets populating the evaluation board. No additional power source is required for the ADE7978/ADE7933 evaluation kit boards. The shunt maximum value is function of the maximum current to be measured on every phase: ANALOG INPUTS where: Every ADE7933 measures the voltage across a shunt at its IP and IM pins. Figure 4 shows the structure used for the Phase A current. The R4_A and R8_A (similarly, R4_B, R8_B for Phase B, _C for Phase C, and _N for Phase N) are 0 Ω resistors that do not need to be implemented on a real meter board. The R15_A/C15_A and R16_A/C16_A RC networks are the antialiasing filters. The default corner frequency of these low-pass filters is 4.8 kHz (1 kΩ/33 nF). These filters can easily be adjusted by replacing the components on the evaluation board. The E1, E2, and E3 ferrite beads filter the high frequency noise that may be induced into the wires. The absolute maximum voltage on the IP and IM pins of the ADE7933 is ±2 V. The D3_A and D6_A diodes protect the IP and IM pins against voltages greater than ±1 V. The maximum signal level permissible at the IP and IM pins of the ADE7933 is ±0.03125 V peak. The signal range should not exceed ±0.03125 V, with respect to AGND_ADC, for specified operation. 31.25 × 10 −3 2 is the rms value of the full-scale voltage accepted at input. IFS is the maximum current to be measured at the analog-todigital converter (ADC) IP and IM inputs. It is called the fullscale current. Figure 5 shows how a shunt is connected to the Phase A current input structure. The shunt is connected between P1 and P1’ energy meter Phase A line inputs. IMIN_A and IPIN_A test pins are connected to the shunt measurement poles, while GND_A, the test pin that is the ground of the Phase A ADE7933 isolated side, is connected to the ground pole of the shunt.

The antialiasing filter R14_A/C11_A matches the R12_A/C9_A filter in the VM path. The absolute maximum voltages on the V1P and VM pins of the ADE7933 are ±2 V. The D1_A, D7_A, D4_A, and D9_A diodes protect the V1P and VM pins against voltages greater than ±2 V. The maximum signal level permissible at the V1P pin of the ADE7933 is ±0.5 V peak. The signal range should not exceed ±0.5 V with respect to AGND_ADC for specified operation. The E4_A and E5_A ferrite beads filter the high frequency noise that may be induced into the wires.

Phase A Voltage Input Structure on the Evaluation Board Isolated Ground Pins Management The ADE7933 package has two isolated ground GNDISO pins: Pin 2 and Pin 10. Figure 7 shows their management in the case of a Phase ADE7933. For Figure 7, just add an “_A”, “_B”, “_C”, or “_N” for Phase A, B, C, and N, respectively (for example, Phase A C3 is “C3_A”). Internally, Pin 2 is connected to Pin 10. The decoupling capacitors, C3 and C4 on the VDDISO pin, are connected to the closest isolated ground pin, Pin 2. The decoupling capacitors, C5 and C6 on the analog LDO pin and C13 and C14 on the voltage reference pins, must be separate from the VDDISO circuitry and are connected to the isolate ground (Pin 10). The auxiliary voltage input connections on the ADE7978/ ADE7933 evaluation board can be directly connected to the line voltage sources between V2PIN_A and GND_A for Phase A auxiliary voltage, between V2PIN_B and GND_B for Phase B auxiliary voltage, between V2PIN_C and GND_C for Phase C auxiliary voltage, and between V2PIN_N and GND_N for Phase N auxiliary voltage. The V2PIN path in Figure 6 shows a typical connection of the Phase A auxiliary voltage input. It is very similar to the V1PIN path explained in the Phase Voltage Sense Inputs (V1PIN_A, V1PIN_B, V1PIN_C, and V1PIN_N Test Pins) section. R17_A 0Ω C11_A 33nF R14_A 1kΩ 11670-006 The phase-to-neutral voltage input connections on the evaluation board can be directly connected to the line voltage sources between V1PIN_A and GND_A for Phase A to neutral voltage, between V1PIN_B and GND_B for Phase B to neutral voltage, and between V1PIN_C and GND_C for Phase C to neutral voltage. These voltages are attenuated using a simple resistor divider network before they are supplied to the ADE7933. The attenuation network on the voltage channels is designed so that the corner frequency (3 dB frequency) of the network matches that of the antialiasing filters in the current channel inputs. This prevents the occurrence of large energy errors at low power factors.

Wait For Interrupts manages the interrupts set in the MASK1 register. 11670-029 The Power Quality windows provide access to all power quality measurements performed inside the ADE7978: zero-crossing detection, zero-crossing timeout and period measurement (see Figure 28), neutral current mismatch (see Figure 29), overvoltage and overcurrent detection (see Figure 30), peak detection (see Figure 31), sag detection (see Figure 32), and time intervals between phases (see Figure 33). Figure 29. Power Quality Neutral Current Mismatch Window The procedure is as follows: 2. 3. 4. Set the interrupt to be monitored using the corresponding switch placed in the window. Set the other registers linked to the interrupt functionality. Click the Write Configuration button to update the ADE7978 registers. Click the Wait For Interrupts button. 11670-030 The program monitors the IRQ1 pin. When it is low, it cancels the interrupt by writing to the STATUS1 register with the corresponding interrupt flag set to 1. Then, it reads the ISUM, PHSTATUS, IPEAK, VPEAK, ANGLE0, ANGLE1, and ANGLE2 registers and displays them. The Timeout for interrupts boxes are used to set the amount of time in milliseconds that the part waits for a zero crossing. Time MCU waits until cancelling interrupts sets the amount of time the Blackfin processor of the SDP-B board waits before resetting an interrupt. 11670-028 Figure 30.
