EVAL-ADE7763

Product Details

This documentation describes the ADE7763 Evaluation Kit Hardware and Software functionality. The ADE7763 evaluation board, together with the ADE7763 data sheet and this documentation, provides a      complete evaluation platform for the ADE7763. The evaluation board has been designed so that the ADE7763 can be evaluated in its end application easily. Using the appropriate transducers on the current channel (e.g., shunt, CT, di/dt sensor, etc.), the evaluation board can be connected to a test bench or high voltage (240 V rms) test circuit. An on-board resistor divider network provides the attenuation for the line voltage. This application note also describes how the current transducers should be connected for the best performance. The evaluation board (watt-hour meter) is configured and calibrated via the parallel port of a PC. The data interface between the evaluation board and the PC is fully isolated. Windows™ based software is provided with the evaluation board, which allows it to be quickly configured as an energy meter. The evaluation board also functions as a stand-alone evaluation system, which can be easily incorporated into an existing system via a 25 way D-Sub connector. The evaluation board requires two external 5V power supplies (one is required for isolation purposes) and the appropriate current transducer.
