Analog Devices ADE7878 Energy Metering IC User Guide

Below you will find brief information for Energy Metering IC ADE7878. The ADE7878 evaluation board and this user guide, together with the ADE7878 data sheet, provide a complete evaluation platform for the ADE7878. The evaluation board has been designed so that the ADE7878 can be evaluated in an energy meter. Using appropriate current transducers, the evaluation board can be connected to a test bench or high voltage (240 V rms) test circuit. On-board resistor divider networks provide the attenuation for the line voltages. This user guide describes how the current transducers should be connected for the best performance. The evaluation board requires two external 3.3 V power supplies and the appropriate current transducers.

Frequently asked questions

The evaluation board requires two external 3.3 V power supplies.

The evaluation board is connected to the PC using a regular USB cable.

The ADE7878 evaluation board is supplied with communication between the ADE7878 and the NXP LPC2368 that is set through the SPI ports. The JP32, JP34, JP36, and JP38 jumpers are closed using 0 Ω resistors, and the JP31, JP33, JP35, and JP37 jumpers are open. The SPI port should be chosen as the active port in the ADE7878 control panel.

The evaluation board can be connected to a test bench or high voltage (240 V rms) test circuit. Using appropriate current transducers, the evaluation board can be connected to a test bench or high voltage (240 V rms) test circuit.
