is taking place, i.e., both tasks are executed simultane-

ously sharing CPU time. It is essential that the DSP

postprocessing calculations be completed before the

next DSP trigger to avoid losing accumulated data.

The master should allow enough processing time by

adjusting the R_ADCRATE register. Default settings

provide plenty of CPU time for both tasks.

The MAXQ3183 accumulates raw sums and calculates

line-cycle integrals for each voltage-current pair sepa-

rately. The individual power accumulators are:

• PA = VA x IA

• PB = IB x VB or -IB x VC or -IB x (VA + VC) or -IB x

(VA - VC)

• PC = VC x IC

The PA and PC accumulators always operate in a sin-

gle mode: (VA x IA) for the PA accumulator, (VC x IC) for

the PC accumulator. Alternately, the operating mode of

the PB accumulator is defined by setting the CON-

CFG[1:0] bits in the OPMODE1 register.

Energy Accumulation Start Delay

All filters have a certain settling time before accurate

energy readings can be accumulated. To avoid accu-

mulation of invalid data from filters that are still settling,

an energy accumulation timeout period can be set in

the ACC_TIMO register. When ACC_TIMO > 0, comput-

ed energy is not accumulated for ACC_TIMO of DSP

cycles. The MAXQ3183 will decrement the ACC_TIMO

ACC_TIMO reaches 0 value, energy accumulation

begins (or resumes, if ACC_TIMO was set to nonzero

value by the master). Pulse outputs are also disabled

when ACC_TIMO > 0. The default value of ACC_TIMO

is 0x05.

No-Load Feature

To avoid “meter creep,” no energy accumulation should

take place when measured current is less than a cer-

tain threshold. The NOLOAD register can be pro-

grammed to enable and configure this feature. If the

measured X.IRMS value for a phase (A, B, or C) falls

below the NOLOAD threshold, the energy accumulators

for this phase are not incremented. Setting NOLOAD =

0 disables this feature. Full scale is represented by

0x10000.

On Demand Calculations

So far in this discussion, the values being calculated

and managed in the MAXQ3183 have been based on

fundamental units meaningful to the device itself: volt-

age as a binary fraction of full-scale voltage; current as

a binary fraction of full-scale current, and time as a non-

integer multiple of the ADC frame time.

But a practical electricity meter must report its results in

standard units, such as volts, amperes, and watts. The

MAXQ3183 contains a mechanism to convert the inter-

nal units (“meter units”) to real world units (“display

units”). This conversion is performed in the conversion

constant (CC) registers.

For some of these values (voltage, current) the calcula-

tion is simple: multiply by the conversion constant. For

other values (power, energy) the calculation is more

complex. In any case, the value in the CC register

affects only the conversion from a meter unit to a dis-

play unit; calibration is handled separately in the gain

adjustment registers for each recorded value.

The results of all on-demand calculations are reported

as 8-byte (64-bit) values of which no more than 6 bytes

(48 bits) are significant. Eight bytes are used as a com-

mon length; however, fewer bytes can be requested for

those registers known to have smaller maximum values.

For example, the power factor virtual register has a

maximum value that is expressed in only 3 bytes; con-

sequently, the register can be requested with a length

of 4 bytes without loss of data.

RMS Volts, RMS Amps

These registers (V.A, V.B, V.C, I.A, I.B, I.C) are calculat-

ed by simply multiplying the calculated RMS value

(A.VRMS, B.VRMS, C.VRMS, A.IRMS, B.IRMS, C.IRMS)

by the contents of the VOLT_CC or AMP_CC register.

Since the RMS voltage and RMS current are given in

32-bit registers and the conversion coefficients are

given in 16-bit registers, the result of the product is 48

bits.

Regardless of the internal units used, VOLT_CC and

AMP_CC can be tailored so that the LSB of the virtual

to have a 32-bit value representing milliamps, one

could multiply by a value that scaled the register such

that the LSB was 2-16mA. Then, discard the low-order

16 bits. The result is milliamps with 32 bits of precision;

thus, the maximum current that could be represented

would be 4,294,967,296mA, or just over 4MA.
