Phase Voltage Sense Inputs (V1P_ IN Test Pin) 

The phase-to-neutral voltage input connections on the 

EVAL-

ADE7903EBZ

 evaluation board can be directly connected to the 

line voltage source between the GND and V1P_IN test points for 
phase-to-neutral voltage. These voltages are attenuated using a 
simple resistor divider network before they are supplied to the 

ADE7903

. The attenuation network on the voltage channels is 

designed so that the corner frequency (3 dB frequency) of the 
network matches that of the antialiasing filters in the current 
channel inputs. This design prevents the occurrence of large 
energy errors at low power factors. 
The V1P_IN path in Figure 6 shows a typical connection of the 
voltage inputs; the resistor divider consists of three 330 kΩ 
resistors (R1, R5, and R10) and one 1 kΩ resistor (R14). The 
antialiasing filter R14/C11 matches the R12/C9 filter in the VM 
path. The absolute maximum voltages on the V1P and VM pins 
of the 

ADE7903

 are ±2 V. The D1, D7, D4, and D9 diodes 

protect the V1P and VM pins against voltages greater than ±2 V. 
The maximum signal level permissible at the V1P pin of the 

ADE7903

 is ±0.5 V peak. The signal range must not exceed 

±0.5 V with respect to GND for specified operation. 
The E4 and E5 ferrite beads filter the high frequency noise that 
may be induced into the wires. 

Auxiliary Voltage Sense Inputs (V2P_IN Test Pin) 

The auxiliary voltage input connections on the 

EVAL-

ADE7903EBZ

 evaluation board can be directly connected to 

the line voltage sources between V2P_IN and GND for the 
auxiliary voltage. 
The V2P_IN path in Figure 6 shows a typical connection of the 
Phase A auxiliary voltage input. It is very similar to the V1P_IN 
path explained in Phase Voltage Sense Inputs (V1P_ IN Test Pin) 
section.

VDD and Ground Pin Management 

The 

ADE7903

 package has four ground pins (GND): Pin 2, 

Pin 10, Pin 11, and Pin 20. Figure 7 presents their management, 
on the side of the current and voltage inputs, in the case of an 

ADE7903

. It is important to note that Pin 11 (GND) must be 

connected to either Pin 2 or Pin 10 (GND) outside the package. 
Similarly, Pin 19 (VDD) must be connected directly to Pin 1 
(VDD) in the shortest path outside of the package because they 
are not internally connected. The C1A, C2A, and C4A 
decoupling capacitors on the VDD pins are connected to the 
closest ground pin. The decoupling capacitors, C5A and C6A 
on the analog LDO pin and C13A and C14A on the voltage 
reference pin, must be separate from the VDD circuitry and are 
connected to ground (Pin 10).  

 

Figure 7. Isolated Ground Pins Management 

The P1 meter input constitutes the AGND_ADC1 signal (see 
also Figure 5). AGND_ADC1 is then connected to GND 
(AGND_ADC signal) through a ferrite bead (E2).
