CS5464
The average reactive power calculation (QAvg, Q2Avg) is
generated by averaging the voltage then multiplying
that value by the current measurement with a 90° phase
difference between the two. The 90° phase shift is real-
ized by applying an IIR digital filter in the voltage chan-
nel to obtain quadrature voltage (see Figure 3 and 4).
This filter will give exactly -90° phase shift across all fre-
quencies, and utilizes epsilon (ε) to achieve unity gain
at the line frequency.
The instantaneous quadrature voltage (VQ, V2Q) and
current (I, I2) samples are multiplied to obtain the in-
stantaneous quadrature power (Q, Q2). The product is
then averaged over N conversions, utilizing the formula

The peak current (Ipeak, I2peak) and peak voltage (Vpeak,
V2peak) are the instantaneous current and voltage, re-
spectively, with the greatest magnitude detected during
the previous computation cycle. Active, apparent, reac-
tive, and fundamental power are updated every compu-
tation cycle.
4.4 Tamper Detection
The third channel (inputs IIN2±) can be used for tamper
detection when required by the application. Typically us-
ing a shunt resistor to save cost, the tamper input mon-
itors the current through the neutral connection. See
Figure 19 on page 43.
The CS5464 calculates active power, P and P2, using
current channel inputs, IIN± and IIN2±, respectively.
The active powers are then compared, looking for devi-
ations greater then a programmable threshold, as an in-
dicator of a connection fault, potentially caused by
tampering. When tamper detect is enabled (by default)
the current channel that produces the larger active pow-
er will be registered in the pulse output accumulation
registers and pulse output pins.
4.5 Linearity Performance
The linearity of the VRMS, IRMS, active, reactive, and
power-factor power measurements (before calibration)
will be within ±0.1% of reading over the ranges speci-
fied, with respect to the input voltage levels required to
cause full-scale readings in the IRMS and VRMS regis-
ters. Refer to Accuracy Specifications on page 7.
Until the CS5464 is calibrated, the accuracy of the
CS5464 (with respect to a reference line-voltage and
line-current level on the power mains) is not guaranteed
to within ±0.1%. (See Section 7. System Calibration on
page 39.) The accuracy of the internal calculations can
often be improved by selecting a value for the Cycle
Count Register that will cause the time duration of one
computation cycle to be equal to (or very close to) a
whole number of power-line cycles (and N must be 4000
or greater).
