MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 detailed description the MAXQ3183 contains four major subsections: theanalog front-end, the digital signal processor, the preci- sion pulse generators, and an spi peripheral for com- munication to the host processor. analog front-end the analog front-end (afe) is an 8-channel analog-to-digital converter (adc). it operates autonomously in the standard configuration, assigning three channels to phase a, b, and c voltage; three channels to phase a, b, and c current; one channel to neutral current; and the last channel to a temperature sensor. each channel also contains a programmable-gain amplifier capable of providing a gain of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 incoming signals. only the voltage channels permit gain scaling by the host processor. the MAXQ3183 dsp firmware automatically sets the gain on current channels. digital signal processor the dsp code is permanently embedded in maskedrom and accepts raw current and voltage samples for each of three phases and continuously calculates a host of values including rms volts, rms amps, real energy, reactive energy, apparent energy, fundamental and harmonic energy, and power factor. the MAXQ3183 dsp core processes incoming sam- ples from the analog front-end according to user con- figurations. the host sets these operating parameters by specifying addresses within the device ram space. when a calculation cycle is complete, the results are placed back into ram as well. thus, the dsp core uses the ram block as both its input (for operating parame- ters) and output (for calculation results) medium. see the spi peripheral section for how the host writes oper- ating parameters and reads results from the ram.the dsp also calculates certain values such as line fre- quency and active and reactive powers only when demanded by the host. precision pulse generators the MAXQ3183 includes two precision pulse genera-tors that generate a pulse whenever certain conditions are met. in the MAXQ3183, many meter quantities can be selected for conversion to meter pulses including absolute energy, net energy, reactive energy, voltage, and current. the pulse generators are accumulators. on each dsp cycle, whatever quantity is being measuredreal ener- gy, reactive energy, current, or something elseis added to the pulse accumulator. the pulse accumula-tor is then tested to determine if the value in the accu- mulator is greater than the threshold. if it is greater, the threshold value is subtracted from the accumulator value and the meter pulse starts. spi peripheral the spi controller is a slave-only device that can reador write any location in the data ram. additionally, it can request data from on-demand registers. the MAXQ3183 implements a truly full-duplex commu- nication, rather than the pseudo half-duplex mode used by other spi peripherals. that is, each time a character is received by the MAXQ3183, a meaningful character is returned to the host. often, this is a protocol charac- ter. in this way, the host can be assured that the com- mand has been received and is valid. optional error checking can also be enabled to further guarantee proper operation. operating modes the MAXQ3183 has two basic modes of operation,each of which is described in the following sections. the initialization mode is the default mode upon power- up or following reset; entry to and exit from the other operating modes is only performed as a result of com- mands sent by the master. run mode this mode is the normal operating mode for theMAXQ3183. in this mode, the MAXQ3183 continuously executes the following operations: ? scans analog front-end channels and collects raw voltage and current samples. ? processes voltage and current samples through dsp filters as enabled and configured. ? calculates power, energy, and other required quanti- ties and stores these values in ram registers. ? responds to register write and read commands from the master. ? outputs power pulses on cfp and cfq as configured. ? drives irq when an interrupt condition has been detected and the interrupt is not masked. stop mode this mode places the MAXQ3183 into a power-savingstate where it consumes the least possible amount of current. in stop mode, all functions are suspended, including the adc and power and voltage measurement and processing. the MAXQ3183 does not respond to any commands from the master in this operating state. downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 16 ______________________________________________________________________________________ entry into stop mode only occurs at the request of themaster. to place the MAXQ3183 into stop mode, the master must read the enter stop (0xc02) register. once this register has been read, the MAXQ3183 enters stop mode immediately, before the transmission of the final ack byte by the MAXQ3183. there are three possible ways to bring the MAXQ3183 back out of stop mode. ? power cycle. the MAXQ3183 automatically exits stop mode if a power-on reset occurs. following exitfrom stop mode, all registers are cleared back to their default states, and the MAXQ3183 transitions to initialization mode. ? external reset. the MAXQ3183 exits stop mode if an external reset is triggered by driving reset low. once the reset pin is released and allowed to return to a high state, the MAXQ3183 comes out ofreset and goes into initialization mode. all registers are cleared to their default states when exiting stop mode in this manner. ? external interrupt. driving the ssel pin low causes the MAXQ3183 to exit stop mode without undergoinga reset cycle. when exiting stop mode in this man- ner, all register and configuration settings are retained, and the MAXQ3183 automatically resumes electric-metering functions and sample processing. note that when the master is communicating with the MAXQ3183, the ssel line is normally driven low at the beginning of each spi command. this means that if themaster sends an spi command after the MAXQ3183 enters stop mode, the MAXQ3183 automatically exits stop mode. reset sources there are several different sources that can cause theMAXQ3183 to undergo a reset cycle. for any type of hardware reset, the reset pin is driven low when a reset occurs. external reset this hardware reset is initiated by an external source(such as the master controller or a manual pushbutton press) driving the reset pin on the MAXQ3183 low. the reset line must be held low for at least four cycles of the currently selected clock for the external reset totake effect. once the external reset takes effect, it remains in effect indefinitely as long as reset is held low. once the external reset has been released, theMAXQ3183 clears all registers to their default states and resumes execution in initialization mode. when an external reset occurs outside of stop mode, execution (in initialization mode) resumes after four cycles of the currently selected clock (external high-fre- quency crystal for run mode, 1mhz internal rc oscilla- tor for lowpm mode). as the MAXQ3183 enters initialization mode, the lowpm bit is always cleared clock resetreset sampling internal reset begin running in initialization mode figure 1. external reset downloaded from: http:///

MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 18 ______________________________________________________________________________________ same manner as if an external reset had taken place.unlike a hardware reset, however, a software reset does not cause the MAXQ3183 to drive the reset line low. power-supply monitoring in addition to the hardware reset provided by thepower-on reset and brownout reset circuits, the MAXQ3183 includes the capability to detect a low power supply on the dvdd pin and alert the master through the interrupt ( irq ) mechanism before a hard- ware reset occurs. this function, which is alwaysenabled outside of stop mode, causes the ram status register flag pwrf (irq_flag.0) to be set to 1 when- ever v dvdd drops below the v pfw trip point. once pwrf has been set to 1 by hardware, it can only becleared by the master (or by a system reset). whenever pwrf = 1, if the epwrf interrupt masking bit is also set to 1, the MAXQ3183 drives irq low to signal to the master that an interrupt condition (in this case, a power-fail warning) exists and requires attention. clock sources all operations including adc sampling and spi com-munications are synchronized to a single system clock. this clock can be obtained from any one of three selec- table sources, as shown in figure 3. external high-frequency crystal the default system clock source for the MAXQ3183 isan external high-frequency crystal oscillator circuit con- nected between xtal1 and xtal2. when clocked with an external crystal, a parallel-resonant, at-cut crystal oscillating in the fundamental mode is required. when using a high-frequency crystal, the fundamental oscillation mode of the crystal operates as inductive reactance in parallel resonance with external capaci- tors c1 and c2. the typical values of these external capacitors vary with the type of crystal being used and should be selected based on the load capacitance as suggested by the crystal manufacturer. since noise at xtal1 and xtal2 can adversely affect device timing, the crystal and capacitors should always be placed as close as possible to the xtal1 and xtal2 pins, with connection traces between the crystal and the device kept as short and direct as possible. in multiple layer boards, avoid running other high-speed digital signals underneath the crystal oscillator circuit if possible, as this could inject unwanted noise into the clock circuit. following power-up or any system reset, the high-fre- quency clock is automatically selected as the system clock source. however, before this clock can be used xtal in ring in system clock extclk stopm por clk enable watchdog reset ring count int/ext crystal startup timer watchdog timer 1mhz internal oscillator hf crystal glitch-free mux enable clock generation figure 3. simplified clock sources downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect ______________________________________________________________________________________ 19 for system execution, a crystal warmup timer mustcount 65,536 cycles of the high-frequency clock. while this warmup time period is in effect, execution contin- ues using the internal 1mhz oscillator. once the 65,536-cycle count completes (which requires approxi- mately 8.2ms at 8mhz), the device automatically switches over to the high-frequency clock. this crystal warmup timer is also activated upon exit from stop mode, since the high-frequency crystal oscillator is shut down during stop mode. external high-frequency clock instead of using a crystal oscillator to generate thehigh-frequency clock, it is also possible to input a high- frequency clock that has been generated by another source (such as a digital oscillator ic) directly into the xtal1 pin of the MAXQ3183. to use an external high-frequency clock as the system clock source, the xtal1 pin should be used as the clock input and the xtal2 pin should be left uncon- nected. the master should also shut down the internal crystal oscillator circuit by setting the extclk bit (opmode0.4) to 1. this bit is only cleared by the MAXQ3183 if a power-on or brownout reset occurs and is unaffected by other resets. when using an external high-frequency clock, the clock signal should be generated by a cmos driver. if the clock driver is a ttl gate, its output must be connected to dvdd through a pullup resistor to ensure that the correct logic levels are generated. to minimize system noise in the clock circuitry, the external clock source must meet the maximum rise and fall times and the minimum high and low times specified for the clock source in the electrical characteristics table. internal rc oscillator when the external high-frequency crystal is warmingup, or when the MAXQ3183 is placed into lowpm mode, the system clock is sourced from an internal rc oscillator. this internal oscillator is designed to provide the system approximately 1mhz, although the exact frequency varies over temperature and supply voltage. if no external crystal circuit or high-frequency clock will be used, the MAXQ3183 can be forced to operate infi- nitely from the internal oscillator by grounding xtal1. this ensures that the crystal warmup count never com- pletes, so the MAXQ3183 runs from the internal oscilla- tor in all active modes. master communications before the MAXQ3183 can begin performing electric-metering operations, the master must initialize a num- ber of configuration parameters. since the MAXQ3183 does not contain internal nonvolatile memory, these parameters (stored in internal registers) must be set by the master each time a power-up or reset cycle occurs, or each time a switch is made between lowpm mode and run mode. the external master communicates with the MAXQ3183 over a standard spi bus, using commands to read and write values to internal registers on the MAXQ3183. these registers include, among many other items: ? operating mode settings (stop mode, lowpm mode, external clock mode, etc.) ? status and interrupt flags (power-supply failure, over- current/overvoltage detection, etc.) ? masking control for interrupts to determine which conditions cause irq to be driven low ? configuration settings for analog channel scanning ? power pulse output configuration ? filter coefficients and configuration ? read-only registers containing accumulated power and energy data as the MAXQ3183 obtains voltage and current mea-surements in run mode or lowpm mode, it accumu- lates, filters, and performs a number of calculations on the collected data. many of these operations (including the various filtering stages) are configured by settings in registers written by the master. the output results can then be read by the master from various read-only registers in parallel with the ongoing measurement and processing operations. spi communications rate and format the spi is an interdevice bus protocol that providesfast, synchronous, full-duplex communications between a designated master device and one or more slave devices. in a MAXQ3183-based design, the MAXQ3183 would be the slave device connected to a designated master microcontroller. the external master initiates all communications trans- fers. the interrupt request line irq , while not technical- ly part of the spi bus interface, is also used formaster/slave communications because it allows the MAXQ3183 to notify the master that an interrupt condi- tion exists. some spi peripherals sacrifice speed in favor of simulating a half-duplex operation. this is not the case with the MAXQ3183; it is truly a full-duplex spi slave. downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 20 ______________________________________________________________________________________ during an spi transfer, data is simultaneously transmit-ted and received over two serial data lines (miso and mosi) with respect to a single serial shift clock (sclk). the polarity and phase of the serial shift clock are the primary components in defining the spi data transfer format. the polarity of the serial clock corresponds to the idle logic state of the clock line and, therefore, also defines which clock edge is the active edge. to define a serial shift clock signal that idles in a logic-low state (active clock edge = rising), the clock polarity select (ckpol; r_spicf.0) bit should be configured to a 0, while setting ckpol = 1 causes the shift clock to idle in a logic-high state (active clock edge = falling). the phase of the serial clock selects which edge is used to sample the serial shift data. the clock phase select (ckpha; r_spicf.1) bit controls whether the active or inactive clock edge is used to latch the data. whenckpha is set to a logic 1, data is sampled on the inac- tive clock edge (clock returning to the idle state). when ckpha is set to a logic 0, data is sampled on the active clock edge (clock transition to the active state). together, the ckpol and ckpha bits allow four possi- ble spi data transfer formats. transfers over the spi interface always start with the most significant bit and end with the least significant bit. all spi data transfers to and from the MAXQ3183 are always 8 bits (one byte) in length. the MAXQ3183 spi interface does not support 16-bit character lengths. the default format (upon power-up or system reset) for the MAXQ3183 spi interface is represented in figure 4a (ckpol = 0; ckpha = 0). in this format, the sclk cycle # (for reference) sclk (ckpol = 0)sclk (ckpol = 1) mosi (from master) miso (from slave) ssel (to slave) 1 msb 6 5 4 3 2 1 lsb 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 msb *not defined but normally msb of character just received. 5 4 3 2 1 lsb * 1 msb 6 5 4 3 2 1 lsb 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 msb * *not defined but normally lsb of previously transmitted character. 6 5 4 3 2 1 lsb sclk cycle # (for reference) sclk (ckpol = 0)sclk (ckpol = 1) mosi (from master) miso (from slave) ssel (to slave) figure 4b. spi interface timing (ckpha = 1) figure 4a. spi interface timing (ckpha = 0) downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect ______________________________________________________________________________________ 21 spi clock idle state is low, and data is shifted in and outon the rising edge of sclk. once spi communication with the MAXQ3183 has been established, it is possible to alter the ckpol and ckpha format settings (as well as changing the ssel signal from active low to active high) if desired by writing to the r_spicf mirror registerand then reading from the special command register upd_sfr to copy the r_spicf value into the internal spi configuration register. whenever the active clock edge is used for sampling (ckpha = 0), the transfer cycle must be started with assertion of the ssel signal. this requirement means that the ssel signal be deasserted and reasserted between successive transfers. conversely, when theinactive edge is used for sampling (ckpha = 1), the ssel signal may remain low through successive transfers, allowing the active clock edge to signal thestart of a new transfer. the clock rate used for the spi interface is determined by the bus master, since the MAXQ3183 always oper- ates as an spi slave device. however, the maximum clock rate is limited by the system clock frequency of the MAXQ3183. for proper communications operation, the spi clock frequency used by the master must be less than or equal to the MAXQ3183s clock frequency divided by 4. for example, when the MAXQ3183 is run- ning at 8mhz, the spi clock frequency must be 2mhz or less. and if the MAXQ3183 is running in lowpm mode (or if the crystal is still warming up), the spi clock frequency must remain at 250khz or less for proper communications operation. in addition to limiting the overall spi bus clock rate, the master must also include a communications delay fol- lowing each byte transmit/receive cycle. this delay, which provides the MAXQ3183 with time to process an adc sample, should be a minimum of 400 system clocks. with default settings and running at 8mhz, this delay time is 50s. reducing the system clock frequen- cy to 1mhz (lowpm mode) would increase this delay period by a factor of 8 to 400s. spi communications protocol all transactions between the master and theMAXQ3183 consist of the master writing to or reading from one of the MAXQ3183s registers. to the host, the MAXQ3183 looks like a memory array that consists of both ram and rom. this is because the rom firmware in the MAXQ3183 reads its operational parameters from ram and places its results in ram. consequently, con- figuring a MAXQ3183 is as simple as performing a block write to its ram locations. some read-only memory locations in the MAXQ3183trigger actions within the device to calculate electricity- metering results on the fly. the specific function and purpose of ram and virtual rom locations are given in the register map. there are several different categories of internal registers on the MAXQ3183. ? ram registers. the values of these registers are stored in the internal ram of the MAXQ3183. somecan be read and written by the master, while others are read-only. ram registers are either 2 or 4 bytes long (16 or 32 bits), although in some registers not all the bits have defined values. read/write registers are generally either status/flag registers (which can be written by either the MAXQ3183 or the master), con- figuration registers (which are written by the master and read by the MAXQ3183 firmware), or data regis- ters (which are read-only and are written by the MAXQ3183 firmware and read by the master). ? virtual registers. these read-only registers are not stored in ram; instead, they contain values that arecalculated on the fly by the MAXQ3183 firmware when the master reads them. these registers are used by the master to obtain values such as phase a, b, and c active, reactive, and apparent power; power factor; and rms voltage and current, which are calculated from currently collected data on an as-needed basis. most virtual registers are 8 bytes in length. ? hardware registers. these registers control core functions of the MAXQ3183 including the adc andthe spi slave bus controller. each of these registers (r_acfg, r_adcrate, r_adcacq, r_spicf, and opmode0 (bit 4, extclk only)) has a register loca- tion in ram that shadows the value of the hardware register. to read from a hardware register, the mas- ter must first read from the special command register upd_mir (a00h) to copy the values from the hard- ware registers to the mirror registers in ram, and then the mirror register in ram can be read. to write to a hardware register, the master reverses the process by writing to the mirror ram register and then reading from the special command register upd_sfr (900h) to copy the values from the mirror registers to the hardware registers. ? special command registers. these registers (upd_sfr and upd_mir) do not return meaningfuldata when read but instead trigger an operation. reading upd_sfr causes values to be copied from the mirror registers to hardware, and reading upd_mir causes values to be copied from the hard- ware to mirror registers. downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 22 ______________________________________________________________________________________ every defined register on the MAXQ3183 has a 12-bitaddress (from 0 to 4095). this address is used when addressing the register for either a read or write opera- tion. addresses 0 to 1023 (000h to 3ffh) are used to address ram registers. registers with addresses from 1024 to 4095 (400h to fffh) are used for virtual regis- ters and special command registers. each command consists of a read/write command code, a data length (1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes), a 12-bit regis- ter address, and the specified number of data bytes fol- lowed optionally by a cyclic redundancy check (crc). since spi is a full-duplex interface, the master and slave must both transmit the same number of bytes dur- ing the command. when a multiple-byte register is read or written (2/4/8 byte length), the least significant byte is read or written first in the command. every transaction begins with the master sending 2 bytes that contain the command (read or write), the address to access, and the number of bytes to transfer. every spi peripheral must return 1 byte for every byte it receives. if the master is reading 1 or more bytes from the MAXQ3183, it must send dummy bytes during the cycles when it is receiving a multibyte response to arequest, meeting the send a byte to get a byte require- ment. but the MAXQ3183 could require time to calculate the result, and thus might not have it ready when the master sends the dummy byte. for this reason, the MAXQ3183 always sends zero or more bytes of a nak character (0x4e or ascii n) followed by an ack char- acter (0x41, or ascii a) before sending the data. if the master is writing 1 or more bytes, it sends the data to be written immediately after sending the com- mand. the MAXQ3183 returns ack (0x41) for each data byte. it then returns nak (0x4e) until the write cycle is complete, after which it returns a final ack. immediately after the final ack, the MAXQ3183 is ready to begin the next transaction; there is no need to wait for any other event. it is not even necessary to tog- gle ssel to begin the next transaction. the MAXQ3183 knows that the first transaction is over and is ready forthe next. if, for whatever reason, it is necessary to reset the com- munications between the host and the MAXQ3183 (for table 1. command format for spi register read byte transfers bit description 7:6 command code: 00 read 01 reserved 10 write 11 reserved 5:4 data length: 00 1 byte 01 2 bytes 10 4 bytes 11 8 bytes 1st byte master sends command; slave sends 0xc1 byte 3:0 msb portion of data address. 2nd byte master sends address; slave sends 0xc2 byte 7:0 lsb portion of data address. sync bytes master sends dummy; slave sends ack (0x41) or nack (0x4e) byte 7:0 master sends dummy byte; slave responds with nack if busy, or with ack when processing complete. master must receive ack, then receive data. 3rd byte (1st data byte) master sends dummy; slave sends data 7:0 data, lsb ... ... ... ... nth byte (last data byte) master sends dummy; slave sends data 7:0 data, msb (n + 1) byte master sends dummy; slave sends crc 7:0 optional crc downloaded from: http:///

MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 56 ______________________________________________________________________________________ a second problem with updating ns on every linecycles is the fact that noise impulses that occur at near- ly the same time as the zero crossing can shift the zero crossing, affecting the accuracy of the energy mea- sured during the preceding period. for this reason, a second register, rej_ns contains a value that specifies how far a particular sample can deviate from the aver- age and still be considered valid. if the period of the newly acquired dsp cycle differs from the previously accumulated average value by more than rej_ns adc frames, ns is not updated with the new period (but the energy is still accumulated). with this discussion in mind, the signal path for the vari- ous reported parameters can be reviewed. rms volts and rms amps: first, the squared voltage accumulation is divided by ns. this accomplishes themean part of the root-mean-square calculation. then, the square root of the result is taken, producing the raw rms calculation value. on the voltage channel, the signal is ready for gain compensation to be applied. but on the current channel, there is an additional twist: depending on the amplitude of the current, there may be a gain factor pre-applied before the raw sample is available. to compensate for inaccuracy in the gain factor for the amplifier and for noise seen in the channel at high gain settings, it may be necessary to provide linearity compensation. there are three registers that manage the linearization of the current signal: the x.offs_hi (x = a/b/c) regis- ter contains a signed value that is added to the raw rms current signal before further processing; the x.offs_lo register contains a signed value that is added to the raw rms current signal when the currentsignal is below a low current threshold (1/32 of the full scale) value; and the x.gain_lo register contains a gain adjustment that is applied to the current signal when the current signal is below the threshold value. the practical effect of this is to turn what may be a somewhat nonlinear response curve for the current sen- sor to a much more linear response by two-piece approximation. the high current calibration term x.offs_hi is used so long as the instantaneous current exceeds the low- current threshold at some instant during a dsp cycle. as long as this threshold is crossed during a dsp cycle, the value in x.offs_hi controls the offset current. when the input stays below the low-current threshold for one dsp cycle, the x.offs_lo and x.gain_lo are applied. the low-current calibration terms (x.gain_lo and x.offs_lo) remain in effect until the peak of input current waveform exceeds 1/32 of full-scale current at any time during a dsp cycle. as a final step, both voltage and current are passed through an averaging filter that provides smoothing for the signals. the amount of filtering is given in avg_c. energy: the per-sample processing produces a pair of digital signals that represent the complex energy sig-nal. from this complex signal, it is desired to extract the real portion and the reactive portion. at first glance, this seems trivial: the real portion is the real part of the com- plex signal, and the reactive portion is the imaginary part of the complex signal. apparent power (in volt- amperes) is the magnitude of the complex signal, and power angle is the argument of the complex signal. linearization average avg_c i rms offs_hi gain_lo offs_lo raw_i average avg_c v rms raw_v i 2 ns v 2 ns figure 10. computation of rms values downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect ______________________________________________________________________________________ 57 but current sensors and other external circuitry compo-nents introduce a phase distortion to the current signal, and this phase distortion may not be constant at all cur- rent values. consequently, for the most precise mea- surements, the phase between the voltage and current signals must be compensated. in the MAXQ3183, the energy signals are compensated for phase offset by performing a complex multiplication of the signal with the contents of the appropriate phase offset register. determining which phase offset register is appropriate is a matter of comparing the incoming rms current for the phase with the contents of the i1thr and i2thr regis- ters. it is the responsibility of the administrative software to ensure that i1thr is greater than or equal to i2thr. if the raw rms current is greater than or equal to the con- tents of i1thr, then the angle expressed in pa0 is used to compensate the phase angle. if the raw rms current is less than i2thr, then the angle expressed in pa2 is used to compensate the phase angle. and if the raw rms current falls between i1thr and i2thr then pa1 is used to compensate the phase angle. in this way, a three-piece stepwise approximation of the phase response of the current sensor is available. to use a constant phase compensation, set i1thr and i2thr to zero and insert the phase compensation value into pa0. the same processing can be performed to calculate the reactive energy value. but reactive energy can be calculated in another way: calculate apparent energy by multiplying the raw rms volts and raw rms current, square this value, then subtract the squared realpower. the square root of this value is the reactive energy. similarly, apparent energy can be calculated in either of two ways: either as the product of the raw rms volts and amps, or as the square root of the sum of the squares of the real and reactive energy. which of these is selected depends on the value of the appsel bit in the opmode2 register: if 0, then apparent energy is the product of the raw rms volts and amps and reac- tive energy is calculated using the difference of squares method; if 1, apparent energy is calculated using the sum of squares method and reactive energy is calculated directly from the complex energy. line frequency and phasor angles: line frequency can be taken directly from the ns value. recall that nsis the number of frames in a dsp cycle. since each frame is 360s, simply multiply ns by 360s and divide by cycnt to obtain the line period. the reciprocal of this is the line frequency. to calculate phasor angles, the numbers of samples between zero crossings on phase a and b and on phase a and c are taken. since ns is the number of samples during a complete dsp cycle, it is easy to calculate the fraction of a complete cycle. the software then converts this value to degrees and adjusts it such that no negative angles are reported. no calibration is required for line frequency and phasor angle calculation. energy accumulation once real and reactive energy over the most recentdsp cycle has been calculated, it is necessary to accu- mulate the result. for reactive energy, the result accumulated during any dsp cycle may be positive (for an inductive load) or pa pa i i thr pa i thr i i thr pa rms rms = > 01 11 2 2 , ,) , ,i i thr rms < ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2 phase compensation pa0pa1 pa2 e p e q real/reactive processing linearization average avg_c e real offs_hi gain_lo offs_lo linearization offs_hi gain_lo offs_lo e_gain e_raw real e_raw reactive figure 11. phase compensation for energy calculations downloaded from: http:///

MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 60 ______________________________________________________________________________________ the volt_cc and amp_cc values can be calculatedfrom the full-scale voltage or full-scale current and the desired value of one lsb in the display register: example: assume the full-scale current is 102.4a, and that we desire a 1na lsb. the calculation would pro-vide an amp_cc value of: 102.4/(2 24 x 10 -9 ) = 6104 = 0x17d8 power the MAXQ3183 measures energy. but power is justenergy per unit time, and the MAXQ3183 keeps track of the time unit over which energy is accumulated. this is simply the ns value, the fractional number of samples that comprises one dsp cycle. so converting energy to power is as simple as dividing the accumulated energy over one dsp cycle by ns. multiplying by a conversion constant (pwr_cc) gives power in user-established units. the power registers (pwrp.a, pwrp.b, pwrp.c, pwrq.a, pwrq.b, pwrq.c, pwrs.a, pwrs.b, pwrs.c) are calculated by multiplying the accumulat- ed energy (a.act, a.rea, a.app, b.act, b.rea, b.app, c.act, c.rea, c.app) by the conversion coeffi- cient (pwr_cc) and then dividing by ns. the result is the 48-bit average power over the most recent dsp cycle, in units established by the conversion coefficient. the pwr_cc value can be calculated from the full- scale voltage, the full-scale current, and the desired value of one lsb in the display register: example: for this example, assume the full-scale cur- rent is 102.4a, the full-scale voltage is 558.1v, and thatthe desired lsb is milliwatts after discarding the 16 lsb; that is, the desired lsb is 2 -16 milliwatts. perform the following calculation: 102.4 x 558.1/(2 32 x 2 -16 x 10 -3 ) = 872 = 0x0368 power factor power factor is calculated as real power divided byapparent power. but note that apparent power can be calculated in either of two ways: either as a square root of the sum of the squares of the real and reactive power, or more commonly as the product of the rms voltage and current measurement. the power factor asreported could change when one or the other of these methods is used. the power factor is multiplied by 2 14 before it is report- ed; thus, unity power factor is given by 16,384 decimal(0x4000). line frequency the line frequency is derived directly from the mean nsvalues over the three phases. it is reported as millihertz; thus, a 50hz line frequency is reported as decimal 50,000 (0xc350). phasor angles the phasor angles are taken directly from the angularmeasurement values determined at each dsp cycle. the angle is reported in units of 0.01 degree; thus, a 120 phasor is reported as decimal 12,000 (0x2ee0). energy energy is read as the net energy directly scaled fromthe appropriate registers. for example, the energy read from the enrp.a register (real energy, phase a) is composed of the difference between the a.eapos (real energy, positive direction, phase a) and a.eaneg (real energy, negative direction, phase a) registers scaled by the enr_cc register. note that the energy registers (enrp.a, enrp.b, enrp.c, enrp.t, enrq.a, enrq.b, enrq.c, enrq.t, enrs.a, enrs.b, enrs.c, enrs.t) represent the ener- gy, in every case, since the last overflow event. for this reason, software must keep track of overflow and make adjustments accordingly when using this register set. to calculate the enr_cc register value, begin with the full-scale voltage and full-scale current, the frame time, and the desired lsb value for energy. then perform the following calculation: example: it is essential to ensure that the correct units are maintained throughout the calculation. in this exam-ple, assume that the full-scale voltage is 558.1v, the full-scale current is 102.4a, the frame time is the default of 360s, and the desired lsb is 100 milliwatt-hours after the 32 bits are discarded; that is, the lsb is 0.1 x 2 -32 watt-hours. notice, however, that the frame time is given in microseconds and must be converted to hours before the calculation can be performed: 360s is 100x 10 -9 hours. so the calculation proceeds as follows: 102.4 x 558.1 x 100 x 10 -9 /(2 16 x 0.1 x 2 -32 ) = 3745 = 0x0ea1 enr cc ivt enr lsb fs fs fr _ _ = 2 16 pwr cc iv pwr lsb fs fs _ _ = 2 32 volt cc v volt lsb fs _ _ = 2 24 amp cc i amp lsb fs _ _ = 2 24 downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect ______________________________________________________________________________________ 61 meter pulse the purpose of a meter pulse is generally to advance amechanical counter when such a device is used as a display. meter pulses are also used during calibration since time intervals can be measured with great preci- sion. the MAXQ3183 supports two meter pulse outputs. these outputs can be configured for either active posi- tive or active negative pulses by means of the popol bit in the opmode1 register. when triggered, the pulse goes to its active state and remains there for a period of time defined by the pls1_wd or pls2_wd register, and then returns to the inactive state (unless triggered again). the pls1_wd and pls2_wd registers contain the time in adc frame periods that the pulses remain in the active state when triggered. by default, these registers contain decimal 156 (0x9c) giving, at the default frame rate, a pulse width of approximately 50ms. each pulse generator can select one parameter to be accumulated over any combination of the three phases. for example, one could select real energy accumulated over all three phases for pulse output 1, and reactive energy accumulated over all three phases for pulse output 2. the particular parameters that can be accu- mulated are given in the register table. among the quantities that can be accumulated by the pulse subsystem are the arithmetic active energy (that is, the accumulated positive real energy minus the accumulated negative real energy) and the absolute active energy (that is, accumulated positive real ener- gy plus accumulated negative real energy). other quantities include rms voltage and current, positive and negative real energy and reactive energy in each of the four quadrants. select the desired accumulation value in the qnsel field of the plscfg1 and plscfg2 register. also in the pulse configuration registers you can select which phases to include in the accumulation. set any or all the phasea, phaseb, and phasec bits in the plscfg1 or plscfg2 registers to include them in the accumulation. generating pulses on every dsp cycle, the MAXQ3183 adds the value inthe selected register (or set of registers) to the pulse accumulator. if the value in the pulse accumulator exceeds the value in the associated threshold register (thr1 or thr2), then a pulse is started and the value in the threshold register is subtracted from the value in the pulse accumulator. meter constant a meter constant is the number of pulses that are gen-erated during a standard measurement interval; for example, a meter might specify a meter constant of 1600 pulses per kilowatt-hour. the thr1 and thr2 registers are used to specify the meter constant according to the following formula: in this formula, thr is the value to be written to the threshold register, k m is the desired meter constant (in pulses per kilowatt hour), i fs and v fs are the full-scale voltage and current, respectively, and t fr is the frame period in units of hours, as in the previous calculation.as an example, assume once again a full-scale voltage value of 558.1v = 0.5581kv, a full-scale current value of 102.4a, a desired meter constant of 1600 pulses per kilowatt hour, and a default frame time of 360s (88.9 x 10 -9 hours). the threshold register value can be calcu- lated as: 65,536/(1600 x 102.4 x 0.5581 x 100 x 10 -9 ) = 7,167,174 = 0x6d5cc6 increasing the value of the threshold register reduces the meter constant (that is, there are fewer pulses perkilowatt-hour); reducing the threshold register increases the meter constant (that is, there are more pulses perkilowatt-hour.) interrupts the MAXQ3183 contains an interrupt subsystem torelieve the host processor of the burden of constantly polling the device for status. instead, under certain cir- cumstances, the MAXQ3183 can activate an external pin to alert the host processor that some condition requiring host attention has occurred. interrupts are managed globally by the irq_mask and irq_flag registers. in general, when a bit becomes set in the irq_flag register, an interrupt is generated if the corresponding bit is set in the irq_mask register. interrupts can be configured for the following conditions: pwrf: this flag indicates the v dvdd to the MAXQ3183 has fallen below its nominal operatingthreshold (about 2.85v). this can be taken as an indication that power failure is imminent and that the host processor should begin taking steps to ensure an orderly shutdown. chsch: this flag indicates that the chksum regis- ter changed its value. thr ki v t mfs fs fr = 2 16 downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 62 ______________________________________________________________________________________ eovf: energy overflow. this flag indicates that one or more energy accumulators (x.eapos, x.eaneg, etc.)have overflowed. in a traditional meter, the host processor would poll the MAXQ3183 to determine which of the energy accumulators have overflowed and adjust its internal accounting registers accordingly. isumovf: the vector sum of currents over the most recent dsp cycle has exceeded the vector sumthreshold. oc: the rms current value on one or more of the phases over the most recent dsp cycle has exceed-ed the value set in the oclvl register. ov: the rms voltage on one or more of the phases over the most recent dsp cycle has exceeded thevalue set in the ovlvl register. uv: the rms voltage on one or more of the phases over the most recent dsp cycle has failed to exceedthe value set in the uvlvl register. nozx: zero crossings were not detected on one or more of the phases during the dsp cycle.dcha: tells the host processor that the direction of net real energy flow on one of the three phases haschanged during the current dsp cycle as compared to the previous dsp cycle. dchr: tells the host processor that the direction of net reactive energy flow on one of the three phaseshas changed during the current dsp cycle as com- pared to the previous dsp cycle. dsprdy: indicates that the latest dsp cycle has just completed.dspor: indicates that the processing for the previ- ous dsp cycle had not been completed before thecurrent dsp cycle became available for processing. this overflow indication should never be seen in the default configuration; however, under some condi- tions (faster adc rate, slower cpu clock) the pro- cessing requirements may exceed the number of cpu cycles available for dsp processing. under these circumstances, the clock rate may be increased, the adc rate may be reduced (that is, the r_adcrate register may be increased), or the functional load (such as fundamental mode calcula- tions) may be cut. note that when dspor becomes set, all dsp calcu- lations as well as all pulse outputs are invalidated. the appropriate host response is to take the remedi- al action described above and discard the current set of dsp result values. each phase has a local register that contains copies ofthe oc, ov, uv, nozx, dcha, and dchr bits. thus, to determine which phase(s) have exception conditions requires four reads: the irq_flag register to deter- mine which conditions are active that are causing the interrupt to occur, and then a read to a.flags, b.flags, and c.flags to determine which of the phases have the indicated condition. finally, each phase has a pair of local registers that contain overflow flags for each energy accumulator. if the eovf bit is set in the irq_flag register, the host should then read the a.eover, b.eover, and c.eover registers to determine which of the phases have overflow conditions. if fundamental mode opera- tion is enabled, the host should read a.efover, b.efover, and c.efover as well. each of these reg- isters contains a bit for each of real and reactive energy in both positive and negative direction as well as apparent energy. overvoltage and overcurrent detection the MAXQ3183 detects overvoltage and overcurrentevents and can issue interrupt request signals to the master when these events occur. the overvoltage level can be programmed into the ovlvl register, while the overcurrent level is determined by the oclvl register. both ovlvl and oclvl registers represent the bits 23:8 of the vrms or irms registers. any time the MAXQ3183 detects the rms-value exceeding a thresh- old level, the ov or oc interrupt flag is set. if enabled, any of these flags issues an interrupt request. all inter- rupt flags are sticky bitsthe MAXQ3183 never clears them on its own unless a reset occurs. the inter- rupt flags should be cleared by the master by writing the appropriate register. meter units to real units conversion all energy calculations, including various thresholdchecks, are performed internally in fixed format in meter units. therefore, the threshold values must be supplied by the user in meter units as well. this section summa- rizes how to convert real units (v, a, kwh, w, and kah) into meter units and vice versa. the conversion factors are based on the settings of t fr , v fs , and i fs , defined by the users design. t fr is analog scan frame timing. this parameter is defined by the r_adcrate setting and system clockfrequency f sys : t fr = (r_adcrate + 1) x 8/f sys default conditions are r_adcrate = 359, f sys = 8mhz. downloaded from: http:///

MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 64 ______________________________________________________________________________________ units conversion examples the conversions from meter units to physical units areillustrated with the simplified input circuits in figures 13 and 14. the voltage input circuit is a voltage-divider. current input is through a current transfer with turn ratio of 2000:1. the voltage transducer ratio (v tr ) = (r1 + r2)/r2 = 545, v fs = 558.1v. the current transducer ratio (i tr ) = ct_n/(2 x r) = 2000/(2 x 10) =100 (a/v), i fs = 102.4a. the input circuits should be designed to avoid gettingtoo close to the adc input full scale at the specified maximum ratings. so for the above circuits, we would specify the maximum input current = 70a (rms) and maximum voltage = 390v (rms), to ensure that peak of sinusoudal waveform never exceeds i fs or v fs . use the default adc timing t fr = 360s, we get the fol- lowing meter unit to physical unit conversion coeffi-cients (these coefficients are not part of the MAXQ3183 registers): mu_amp = i fs /2 24 = 6.1e-6 (a) mu_volt = v fs /2 24 = 33.3e-6 (v) mu_pwr = v fs x i fs /2 32 = 13.3e-6 (w) mu_enr = v fs x i fs x t fr /2 16 = 87.2e-9 (wh) for example, if we get 0x07654af0 from reading0x1cc register (phase a current rms), the current value it represents is 0x07654af0 x mu_amp = 47.33 (a) for some low-end host microcontrollers, doing theabove math multiplication above could be difficult. for this reason, the MAXQ3183 provides conversions for some commonly needed parameters through the volt_cc, amp_cc, pwr_cc, and enr_cc registers. for example, if you want to display current in the reso- lution of 1ma, without having to use a multiplication operation to convert from the meter unit value0x07654af0, you would set amp_cc to 0x0190, and read from virtual register 0x831 (phase a rms current). the output would be 0xb8e45170. dropping the lower 2 bytes (right shifting 16 bits) gives 0xb8e4, or 47332 decimal (47332ma). amp_cc is computed as follows: amp_cc = (i fs /2 24 )/amp_lsb = mu_amp/amp_lsb amp_lsb = 0.001/2 16 (a) i fs = 102.4a amp_cc = (102.4/2 24 )/(0.001/2 16 ) = 400d = 0x0190 calibration procedure calibration overview calibration ensures that the recorded voltage, current,energy, and power are in accordance with the design criteria. before creating a calibration regimen, establish the fundamental units of the meter: the full-scale volt- age and current. then adjust the gain registers using calculated calibration constants to produce the expect- ed reading in the raw current, voltage, energy, and power factor registers. the calibration constants should be stored in non- volatile memory by the host microcontroller. upon any reset or loss of power, the host microcontroller must reload the MAXQ3183 with the constants. calibration always follows a set of fundamental steps: ? apply a known signal (voltage/current/power) to the meter. ? read the meter. ? calculate the correction factor based on the differ- ence between the applied signal level and the meterreading. ? write the correction factor to the appropriate register.

MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 66 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ? divide the applied value (in meter unit) by the value read from the MAXQ3183. the result should be avalue between 0 and 2. if the value falls outside of this range, you have probably miscalculated i fs . ? multiply the calculated value by 2 14 . the result is the gain value to be programmed into a.i_gain. ensurethe most significant bit is 0. when the gain value is programmed, wait for approxi-mately 2 to 3 seconds, then reread the rms value from a.irms. check that the measured value is correct by comparing a.irms against the applied current in meter unit. current calibration example assume i fs is 102.4a and the meter has a base current of 10a and a maximum current of 60a. ? the meter is calibrated at the base current of 10a. ? convert the applied current to meter units. this cal- culation gives 10 x 2 24 /102.4 = 1,638,400 = 0x00190000. ? read the a.irms register. you read 0x0017dc85. this is 1,563,781 decimal. ? divide the applied current by the current read from the meter. the result is 1,638,400/1,563,781 = 1.0477. ? multiply by 2 14 x 1.0477 = 17,166 = 0x430e. write this value to the a.i_gain register. calibrating phase offset for this calibration step, it is necessary to have a powerfactor meter, capable of measuring phase angle, con- nected in the same circuit as the MAXQ3183 meter. note that calibration can be performed at any precision power factor setting. we use a pure resistive load (pf = 1.0) load to illustrate the procedure. ? apply a resistive load to the meter; the current drawn by the load should correspond to the base current ofyour meter. ? record the phase angle and direction (capacitive or inductive) reported on the power factor meter. ? read and record the real and reactive energy from the x.act and x.rea registers. divide the reactiveenergy by the real energy. this is the tangent of the power-phase angle. ? read the x.rea register. if the high-order bit is set, the power factor reported in the above step is capac-itive. if the high-order bit is clear, the power factor reported in the above step is inductive. ? now determine the correction factor: treating capaci- tive values as negative and inductive values as posi-tive, subtract the angle read from the MAXQ3183 from the angle read from the reference meter. theresult is the compensation angle. ? multiply the compensation angle (in radians) by 65,536. this is the value to write into x.pa0. if i1thr and i2thr are left at their default values(0x0000), then the value in x.pa0 is applied to the full measurement range. alternatively, you could write the same value into x.pa0, x.pa1, and x.pa2. then the same compensation is applied through the whole mea- surement range regardless of the i1thr and i2thr set- tings. if desired, calibrate for the phase angle at up to three different current levels to compensate for nonlin- earity in the current sensor. see the advanced operation section for more information. phase offset calibration exampleassume the meter is a 10/60 meter; that is, the base current is 10a and the maximum rated current is 60a. i fs is 102.4a and v fs is 558.1v. the test point is 10a and 240v. ? connect the MAXQ3183-based meter under test in series with a lab grade reference meter. see the con-figuration below. ? apply power to the meter and apply a load of 10a resistive. ? verify that the i1thr, i2thr, a.pa0, a.pa1, and a.pa2 registers contain zero. ? read the power factor on the reference meter. you read 1.5 capacitive. this is not unusual. the load might not be truly resistive or reactance in the test configuration could be reflected in the measurement. ? read the real energy from register a.act (0x1d0). you read 0x2865d6 (2,646,510 meter units). ? read the reactive energy from register a.rea (0x1d4). you read 0xffffa5c0 (-23,104 meterunits). ? divide the reactive by the active power: -23,104/ 2,646,510 = -0.009. v lab meter v unit under test load line neutral figure 15. offset testing setup downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect ______________________________________________________________________________________ 67 ? take the inverse tangent of this value. you get -0.5 ; that is, 0.5 capacitive. ? subtract the uut phase offset from the reference meter phase offset. in this case, the phase needs tomove 1 toward the capacitive. convert this value to radians: 1 x /180 = 0.0175 radians. ? multiply this value by 65,536. the result is 572 (0x023c). ? because the phase correction is toward the capaci- tive, the value must be complemented. the twoscomplement of 0x023c is 0xfdc4. this is the value that should be written to the pa0 phase compensa- tion register. at this point, the meter is compensated for a singlephase offset. if the phase offset were perfectly flat over all current levels, that would be sufficient (and for many current sensors, particularly current shunts, one point is usually good enough.) interfacing the MAXQ3183 to external hardware the MAXQ3183 has all the internal circuitry that isneeded for a sophisticated electricity meter, but specif- ic external hardware is required when configuring the meter for a particular application. the most critical decision that must be made is how the load will be con- nected to the power source, and how the meter will be connected to measure power consumed in the load. this section covers how to select hardware compo- nents for a MAXQ3183 electricity meter. connections to the power source generally, three-phase power as delivered from the util-ity consists of four wires: three voltage phases and a neutral wire. in one typical three-phase delivery system, measuring from neutral to any phase would read 120v, while measuring from any phase to any other phase would read 208v. connecting a load so that load cur- rent is taken from phase lines and returned to neutral is called a wye-connected load. connecting a load so that load current is provided by one phase and returned on another phase is called a delta-connected load. the MAXQ3183 can measure power consumed in either a wye-connected or a delta-connected load. if the load is connected in a wye fashion, the voltage is measured from the neutral lead to each of the phases, and the current measuring device is placed in series with the load, most often in the hot lead. the sensor is not placed in the neutral lead to prevent a customer from defrauding the utility by returning the current to ground rather than neutral. a current sensor placed in the hot lead makes fraud even more difficult. a delta-connected load can have current measured intwo possible ways. if it is primarily desirable to know how much power is delivered to the load, one can place the current sensor in the load circuit between two phas- es. but if it is more important to know how much current is being drawn from each supply phase, each current sensor is placed in the line circuit of each single phase. most utilities are only concerned with the total amount of energy being consumed. if individually accounting for the power delivered by each phase is not a require- ment, it is not necessary to measure all three voltages. instead, knowing only two voltages and the three cur- rents is all that is necessary to measure total energy usage. there are several ways of doing this. in a wye arrange- ment, one of the phasesusually phase bCcan be considered the voltage reference point instead of neu- tral. then the voltage measurements can be made from phase a to phase b and from phase c to phase b. by using some simple arithmetic, the power delivered by phase a, phase b, and phase c can be calculated even though only two voltages are available. a second mechanism is to have a delta-connected load, but with one legusually the bc legsplit into two equal loads. the point where the load is split is defined as the reference. in this arrangement, it is only necessary to know the voltage between phase c and the split and phase a and the split, since v c = -v a . finally, there is the connection arrangement in whichthe load is in a delta configuration with the current sen- sor at each load, but it is still desired to determine how much current is in each supply branch. the MAXQ3183 supports all of these connection arrangements. sensor selection the MAXQ3183 supports a variety of voltage and cur-rent sense elements. this section describes the proper- ties of many of these sensing devices. voltage sensors voltage-divider a voltage-divider is an ideal voltage-sensing elementwhen there is no need for voltage isolation. modern resistors have virtually no parasitic capacitance or inductance at the frequencies of interest in an electrici- ty meter and have extremely low variation with tempera- ture. when selecting resistors for a voltage-divider, keep the division ratio high enough so that the peak voltage value cannot exceed the maximum allowable input voltage. in the MAXQ3183, the peak input voltage is about 1v; consequently, a divider in the range of 400:1 to 600:1 is ideal. downloaded from: http:///

r_acfg: this register contains bits that disable the adc entirely, disable the voltage reference bufferamplifier, and disable the adc interrupt. modifying this register will likely disable or impair operation of the MAXQ3183 internal firmware. ? r_adcrate: modify this register to change the rate at which the MAXQ3183 acquires samples. bydefault, r_adcrate contains 359 decimal, which means that the adc acquires a sample every 360 system clocks. with an 8mhz clock, this translates to 45s. if the system clock is slower, it may be advan- tageous to reduce this value to keep a 45s per sam- ple time constant. downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect ______________________________________________________________________________________ 69 ? r_adcacq: modify this register to change the acquisition time. the acquisition time is the time fromadc power-on until conversion starts, and is provid- ed to allow the input amplifiers to settle. by default this is set to 47 decimal, or 6s at an 8mhz system clock. if the system clock rate is changed, then r_adcacq should change so that this value remains about 6s. fine-tuning the dsp controls fine-tuning the line frequency measurement line frequency measurement is based on zero-crossingdetection. for that purpose each voltage signal is passed through a digital lowpass filter, controlled by the zc_lpf register. this register specifies the b 0 coef- ficient of a first-order lpf using following formula:the msb of this register must be zero. for each phase a, b, and c, the MAXQ3183 counts the number of scan frames (ns) between zero crossings within a dsp cycle. each individual phase a, b, or c zero-crossing event contributes the raw ns count that plugs as input to lowpass filter: y n = y n - 1 + (avg_ns/65,536) x (x n - y n - 1 ) the filter coefficient is a signed 16-bit value and can beconfigured by master. here y denotes the global ns value, x denotes individual ns measurements pro- duced by zero-crossing events detected on the phase a, b, or c voltage channel. note that if all three phase voltages present, the filter above receives three inputs each dsp cycle. the global ns value is used to gener- ate the trigger for dsp processing. note that the ns value can be configured by the master, which could be necessary if all three voltage signals are lost and no zero-crossings are detected. the line period is then calculated as a product of ns and the scan frame t fr . the reciprocal of this value is the line frequency, whichcan be obtained as a fixed-point value with 1 lsb = 0.001hz by reading the linefr register. fundamental mode registers the MAXQ3183 keeps another set of real and virtualregisters to track power and energy at the fundamental line frequency. these fundamental mode registers behave identically to the standard power and energy registers, but are prefiltered to exclude harmonic power. the fundamental mode filter is specified in the b0fundand a1fund registers. b0fund is the feed-forward coefficient and specifies the bandwidth of the funda- mental mode filter; a1fund is the feedback coefficient and specifies the center frequency of the fundamental mode filter. in most cases, you can leave these filters at their default values. if you wish to change the filter parame- ters, first choose the desired bandwidth: b 0 = x bw x t fr in this equation, bw is the desired bandwidth in hertzand t fr is the frame period, typically 360s. set b0fund to b 0 x 2 16 . by default, b0fund contains dec- imal 145 (0x91) giving a bandwidth of about 2hz.to set the center frequency, calculate a 1 according to the following formula: a 1 = 2 - 2(1 - b 0 ) x cos(2 x f pk x t fr ) in this equation, b 0 is the previously calculated feed- forward coefficient, f pk is the desired center frequency in hertz, and t fr is the adc frame period. set a1fund to a 1 x 2 16 . by default, a1fund contains decimal 950 (0x3b6) giving a center frequency of approximately50hz. the fundamental mode filter is, by default, quite sharp with 3db points only 1hz off of the center frequency. this means that if the frequency drifts even only slight- ly, the fundamental mode power measurement is likely to have significant inaccuracy. the MAXQ3183 provides a mechanism to track the fre- quency by updating the a1fund register on each dsp cycle. this mechanism is automatically enabled by default. you may wish to disable the automatic tracking facility under some circumstances, particularly if you have defined a broader bandwidth than default and are com- fortable that the frequency will not drift beyond the passband. to disable the filter, set the dfuna bit in the opmode2 register. you may also elect to disable fundamental mode oper- ation completely. to do this, set the dfun bit in the opmode2 register. harmonic measurement in addition to the ability to measure power and energyat the fundamental frequency, the MAXQ3183 provides a mechanism to isolate a particular harmonic on any voltage or current channel and measure the amplitude of that harmonic. b zc lpf 0 16 2 = _ downloaded from: http:///
MAXQ3183 low-power, multifunction, polyphase afe with harmonics and tamper detect 70 ______________________________________________________________________________________ to enable harmonic measurement, first select a voltageor current channel to monitor. this is done in the aux_cfg register. the aux_mux field is the 4-bit value that selects one of the three voltage channels or one of the four current channels to monitor. the order of the harmonic is set in ordh field of the aux_cfg register. also in the aux_cfg register are two bits that enable the auxiliary channel and enable harmonic measure- ment on the auxiliary channel. to enable the auxiliary channel, set the enaux bit. once set, the MAXQ3183 will perform an rms calculation on the selected chan- nel. this is useful only for the i n (neutral current) chan- nel, since every other voltage and current already haverms calculations applied by default. (the dadcnv bit should be cleared in the scan_in register in order to enable sampling the i n channel.) to enable harmonic measurement, set the enharmbit. now, the selected voltage or current signal is passed to a filter that is identical to the second-order fundamental filter, but that has separate parameters (a1harm, b0harm). current total harmonic distortion plus noise (thdn) the MAXQ3183 can output the thdn ratio for selectedcurrent channel on-demand. it is calculated as: this represents the ratio of the power of harmonics plus noise over the power of the fundamental signal. to acti- vate thdn computation, the host must first configure the aux channel to produce first harmonic (fundamen- tal) on the desired current channel: ? set aux_cfg = 0x01c3 for current phase a ? set aux_cfg = 0x01c5 for current phase b ? set aux_cfg = 0x01c7 for current phase c then the thdn ratio can be read from one of the fol- lowing virtual registers: ? register 0x859 returns thdn.a for current phase a ? register 0x85a returns thdn.b for current phase b ? register 0x85c returns thdn.c for current phase c each register returns a raw binary value representing the thdn ratio with lsb = 2 C32 . since computation involves signal filtering, the value thdn could require afew seconds to settle before producing stable output. current vector sum the MAXQ3183 supports two forms of current vectorsum calculations depending on whether neutral current i n is available: i vs3 (t) = i a (t) + i b (t) + i c (t) or i vs4 (t) = i a (t) + i b (t) + i c (t) + i n (t) the sum must be calculated on instantaneous samplebasis. in a balanced 3-phase system, the vector sum i vs3 should be zero; a nonzero value indicates a currentunbalance. when neutral current available, vector sum i vs4 should be always zero, no matter balanced or unbal- anced loads; a nonzero value indicates tamper (energytheft) or wrong meter connection. in the MAXQ3183, the samples for i a , i b , i c , and i n are not simultaneous, there- fore the device automatically applies an allpass filter to i b , i c , and i n before calculating vector sum. the MAXQ3183 calculates the rms value of i vs3 or i vs4 on-demand using the aux channel. to activate vector sum computations, the host must set followingconfiguration bits: for i vs3 : 1) aux_cfg.enaux = 1to enable the aux channel 2) aux_cfg.aux_mux = 1001b (0x9)select ia + ib + ic input to the aux channel the above settings result in aux_cfg = 0x0049.for i vs4 : 1) scan_in.dadcnv = 0to enable adc sampling neutral current in (scan_in = 0x60) 2) aux_cfg.enaux = 1to enable the aux channel 3) aux_cfg.aux_mux =1111b (0xf)select ia + ib + ic + in input to the aux channel the above settings result in aux_cfg = 0x004f.once the above configuration is set, the MAXQ3183 starts accumulating the specified vector sum. the result can then be read from the n.rms register as raw value or from i.n virtual register as converted value. if the averaging filter is enabled (avg_c > 0), the value could require a few seconds to settle before producing stable output. the MAXQ3183 has an additional control bit aux_cfg.inrev to reverse the sign of in current. when the bit is set (aux_cfg = 0x006f), the MAXQ3183 cal- culates the value (ia + ib + ic - in) instead of (ia + ib + ic + in). doing so allows vector sum computation in case of reverse connection of neutral current sensor. a threshold (isumlvl, address 0x054) can also be specified to cause the MAXQ3183 to generate an inter- rupt when the vector sum exceeds the threshold. thdn x xirms xirms fund . . . = 2 2 1 downloaded from: http:///
