CS5464
5. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 Analog Inputs
The CS5464 is equipped with three fully differential in-
put channels. The inputs VIN±, IIN±, and IIN2± are des-
ignated as the voltage, current, and current 2 channel
inputs, respectively. The full-scale differential input volt-
age for the current and voltage channel is ±250 mVP.
5.1.1 Voltage Channel Input
The output of the line voltage resistive divider or trans-
former is connected to the VIN+ and VIN- input pins of
the CS5464. The voltage channel is equipped with a
10x fixed-gain amplifier. The full-scale signal level that
can be applied to the voltage channel is ±250 mV. If the
input signal is a sine wave, the maximum RMS voltage
at a gain 10x is:

which is approximately 70.7% of maximum peak volt-
age. The voltage channel is also equipped with a Volt-
age Gain Register, allowing for an additional
programmable gain of up to 4x.
5.1.2 Current Channel Inputs
The output of the current-sense resistor or transformer
is connected to the IIN+ (IIN2+) and IIN- (IIN2-) input
pins of the CS5464. To accommodate different cur-
rent-sensing elements, the current channel incorpo-
rates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with two
programmable input gains. Configuration Register bit
Igain (I2gain) defines the two gain selections and corre-
sponding maximum input signal level.

Table 1. Current Channel PGA Setting
For example, if Igain=0 (I2gain=0), current channel 1(2)
PGA gain is set to 10x. If the input signals are pure si-
nusoids with zero phase shift, the maximum peak differ-
ential signal on the current or voltage channel is
±250 mVP. The input signal levels are approximately
70.7% of maximum peak voltage and produce a
full-scale energy pulse registration equal to 50% of ab-
solute maximum energy registration. This will be dis-
cussed further in See Section 5.5 Energy Pulse Output
on page 18.
The Current Gain Register also facilitates an additional
programmable gain of up to 4x. If an additional gain is
applied to the voltage and/or current channel, the maxi-
mum input range should be adjusted accordingly.
5.2 IIR Filters
The current and voltage channels are equipped with a
3rd-order IIR filter, that is used to compensate for the
magnitude roll off of the low-pass decimation filter.
5.3 High-pass Filters
By removing the offset from either channel, no error
component will be generated at DC when computing the
active power. By removing the offset from both chan-
nels, no error component will be generated at DC when
computing VRMS, IRMS, and apparent power. Operation-
al Mode Register bits VHPF, VHPF2, IHPF and IHPF2
activate the HPF in the voltage and current channel, re-
spectively. When a high-pass filter is active in only one
channel, an all-pass filter (APF) is applied to the com-
panion channel. The APF has an amplitude response
that is flat within the channel bandwidth and is used for
matching phase in systems where only one HPF is en-
gaged.

5.4 Performing Measurements
The CS5464 performs measurements of instantaneous
voltage (Vn) and current (In), and calculates instanta-
neous power (Pn) at an output word rate (OWR) of
OWR
=
(---M-----C----L----K-----⁄---K----)

where K is the value of the clock divider selected in the
Configuration Register by bits K[3:0]. Note that a value
of K[3:0] = 0000 results in a clock divider setting of 16,
rather than zero.
The RMS voltage (VRMS, V2RMS), RMS current (IRMS,
I2RMS), and active power (Pactive, P2active) are comput-
ed using N instantaneous samples of Vn, In, and Pn re-
spectively, where N is the value in the Cycle Count
Register and is referred to as a “computation cycle”. The
apparent power (S, S2) is the product of VRMS and IRMS.
A computation cycle is derived from the master clock
