FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SA9103E is a CMOS mixed signal Analog/Digital integrated circuit, which performs
power/energy calculations across a power range of 1000:1, to an overall accurancy of
better than Class 1.
The integrated circuit includes of all the required functions for 1-phase power and energy
measurement, such as two oversampling A/D converters for the voltage and current
sense inputs, power calculation and energy integration. Internal offsets are eliminated
through the use of cancellation procedures. The SA9103E integrates the measured
active power consumption into a 22 bit integrator, which is accessable via a serial port
having a RS232 protocol.

Power calculation
In the Application Circuit (Figure 1), the voltage drop across the shunt will be
between 0 and 16mV (0 to 80A through a shunt resistor of 200
). This voltage is
converted to a current of between 0 and 16A, by means of resistors R
1
and R
2
.
The current sense input saturates at an input current of 25A peak.
For the voltage sense input, the mains voltage (230VAC) is divided down through
a divider to 14V. The resulting current into the A/D converter input is set at 14A
at nominal mains voltage,via resistor R4 (1M
).
In this configuration, with a mains voltage of 230V and a current of 80A, the SA9103E
functions at its optimum conditions, having a margin of 3dB for overload available.
2.
Analog Input Configuration
The input circuitry of the current and voltage sensor inputs are illustrated below.
These inputs are protected against electrostatic discharge through clamping
diodes.
The feedback loops from the outputs of the amplifiers A
I
and A
V
generate virtual
shorts on the signal inputs. Exact duplications of the input currents are generated
for the analog signal processing circuitry.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
The SA9103E integrated circuit's inputs/outputs are protected against ESD.
4.
Power Consumption
The power consumption rating of the SA9103E integrated circuit is less than
25mW.
5.
Serial Interface
Reading and resetting of the SA9103E's on-chip integrator, is performed via the
serial interface.
The settings are:
19 200 Baud
1 Start bit (S)
1 Stop bit (E)
No parity bits
The Serial Interface allows for the following operations:
Read Integrator: The SA9103E integrated circuit transmits the integrator status
to the controller, after the current measurement cycle has been completed (8 mains
periods maximum).
Reset Integrator: The SA9103E integrator is reset, without transmitting the
integrator status.
Read/Reset Integrator): The SA9103E transmits the integrator status and resets
the integrator after the current measurement cycle has been completed.
In a typical application, the system controller monitors the status of the SA9103E's
integrator using the "Read" command. At rated load conditions, the capacity of the
22 bit integrator allows for an integration time of 2 seconds prior to integrator
overflow.
If after a "Read" command, the integrator value is sufficently high, a "Read/Reset"
command from the controller causes the SA9103E integrated circuit to complete
the existing measurement cycle, transmit the 16 most significant bits of the 22 bit
integrator via the Serial Output (SOUT) to the controller and restart the integrator.
In order to ensure correct measurements, the integrator commands ("Read" and
"Read/Reset") are only executed after completion of the internal offset calibration
cycle. The cycle length is 8 mains periods.
Thus, for power calculations, the time value should be taken from the difference in
time from the previously received energy value to the currently received value.

By adapting the "Read/Reset" rate to the line current the accuracy of the measurement
can be achieved down to lowest signal levels.

The most significant bit of the 16 bit energy register is an indication fo the direction
of the energy flow (0 = positive, 1 = negative)

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
In the Application Circuits (Figures 1 and 2) the components required for power metering
applications, are shown.
In Figure 1, a shunt resistor is used for current sensing. In this application, the circuitry
requires a +2.5V, 0V, -2.5V DC supply.
In the case of Figure 2, when using a current transformer for current sensing, a +5V, 0V
DC supply is sufficient for the circuit.
The most important external components for the SA9103E integrated circuit are:
C
1
and C
2
are the outer loop capacitors for the two integrated oversampling A/D
converters. The value of these capacitors is 560pF. The actual values determine the
signal to noise and stability performance. The tolerances should be within 10%.
C
3
and C
4
are the inner loop capacitors of the A/D converters. The optimum value is 3.3nF.
The actual values are uncritical. Values smaller than 0.5nF and larger than 5nF should
be avoided.
R
1
, R
2
and RSH are the resistors defining the current level into the current sense input.
The values should be selected for an input current of 16A into the SA9103E at maximum
line current.
Values for RSH of less than 200
should be avoided.

and R

set the current for the voltage sense input. The values should be selected
so that the input current into the voltage sense input (virtual ground) is set to 14A.

, optimum conditions
are set.
