Norwood, MA (03/21/2012) - Analog Devices,
Inc., (ADI) a global leader in high-performance
semiconductors for signal processing applications, today
introduced a single-chip energy measurement AFE (analog
front end) that monitors the energy consumption and power
quality of up to six electrical circuits. The
ADE7816 energy measurement AFE is designed for data
center power distribution units, energy monitoring and
management systems, and multi-channel electricity meters.
Able to measure one voltage and up to six current channels,
the new AFE provides high-accuracy energy usage and power
quality data for each circuit. Since it interfaces to
standard microcontrollers, the ADE7816 energy measurement
AFE is specifically suited for applications that require
more processor flexibility and peripheral options than is
offered by fixed-configuration SOC (system-on-chip)
devices. Additionally, multiple ADE7816 energy measurement
AFEs can interface with a single application processor
resulting in scalable and cost-effective solutions.

ADE7816 Energy Measurement AFE Key Features
Supports flexible system design by interfacing a wide
variety of user-selectable microcontroller configurations
Enables scalable system design by using multiple ADE7816
AFEs with a single application MCU (microcontroller)
Flexible system design supports shunts, Rogowski coils
and current transformers
Flexible I2C, SPI (serial port interface) and HSDC
(high-speed data capture) provide access to real-time raw
waveform samples
Saves board space and cost by replacing up to six,
single-phase energy metering ICs (integrated circuits)
Uses ADI's field-proven, revenue-grade measurements that
include active and reactive energies, instantaneous rms
voltage and currents
Saves development time by integrating power quality
information, including over-voltage, over-current, peak
and sag detection
Provides industry leading less than 0.2 percent error in
active and reactive energy over a dynamic range of 3000:1
and meets accuracy requirements of Class 0.5
revenue-grade electricity meters
