POWERING UP THE EVALUATION KIT BOARDS
The interface board receives power via the USB cable connected
to the PC. A 3.3 V regulator then powers the SDP-B board
microcontroller and, across the isolation barrier, the
ADC populating the evaluation board. No additional power
source is required for the
ADE7903
ANALOG INPUTS
Current and voltage signals are connected at the test pins placed
on the evaluation board. All analog input signals are filtered
using the on-board antialiasing filters before the signals are
connected to the
ADE7903
ADC. The components used on the
board are the values recommended for use with the ADE7903.
Current Sense Inputs (IP_IN and IM_IN Test Pins)
The
ADE7903
measures the voltage across a shunt at its IP and
IM pins. Figure 4 shows the structure used for the current
input.

R8, R9, R20, and R21 are 0 Ω resistors that do not need to be
implemented on a real meter board. R15/C12 and R16/C15
RC networks are the antialiasing filters. The default corner
frequency of these low-pass filters is 4.8 kHz (1 kΩ/33 nF).
These filters can easily be adjusted by replacing the components
on the evaluation board.
The E1, E2, and E3 ferrite beads filter the high frequency noise
that may be induced into the wires.

is ±2 V. The D3 and D6 diodes protect the IP and IM
pins against voltages greater than ±1 V. The maximum signal level

The signal range must not exceed ±0.03125 V, with respect to
AGND_ADC, for specified operation.
The shunt is connected between the IP_IN and IM_IN test pins.

Figure 5 shows how a shunt is connected to the current input
structure. The shunt is connected between the P1 and P1'
energy meter line inputs. The IP_IN and IM_IN test pins are
connected to the shunt measurement poles, while GND, the test
pin that is the ground of the ADE7903, is connected to the
ground pole of the shunt.
