Kit Overview

The evaluation board EVAL-ADE7880EBZEVAL-ADE7880EBZ has been designed so that the ADE7880ADE7880 can be evaluated as 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.The evaluation board requires two power supplies, one external supply of 3.3 V and one supply provided by connecting a USB cable between a PC and the board. Appropriate current transducers are also required.

The ADE7880ADE7880 is a high accuracy, 3-phase electrical energy measurement IC with serial interfaces and three flexible pulse outputs. The ADE7880 device incorporates second-order sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a digital integrator, reference circuitry, and all of the signal processing required to perform the total (fundamental and harmonic) active and apparent energy measurements, rms calculations, and fundamental-only active and reactive energy measurements. In addition, the ADE7880 computes the rms of harmonics on the phase and neutral currents and on the phase voltages, together with the active, reactive, and apparent powers, the power factor and harmonic distortion on each harmonic for all phases.

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is computed for all currents and voltages. The user guide describes the ADE7880ADE7880 evaluation kit hardware, firmware, and software functionality. The evaluation board contains an ADE7880 and an LPC2368LPC2368 microcontroller. The ADE7880 and its associated metering components are optically isolated from the microcontroller. The microcontroller communicates with the PC using a USB interface.

Key Applications: Energy metering systems, Power quality monitoring, Solar inverters, Process monitoring, Protective devices.

ADE7880 Evaluation Software

The ADE7880 evaluation board is supported by Windows® based software that allows the user to access all the functionality of the ADE7880. The software communicates with the NXP LPC2368FBD100,551LPC2368FBD100,551 microcontroller using the USB as a virtual COM port. The NXP LPC2368 communicates with the ADE7880 to process the requests that are sent from the PC.

The ADE7880 software is supplied on one CD-ROM. It contains two projects: one that represents the NXP LPC2368FBD100,551LPC2368FBD100,551 project and one LabVIEW. based program that runs on the PC. The ADE7880 evaluation software allows access to all registers and features of the ADE7880, such as active/reactive energy, RMS reading, waveform sampling, read/write registers, reset ADE7880, etc.
