GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The M90E36A is a poly-phase high performance wide-dynamic range metering IC. The M90E36A incorporates 7 indepen-

dent 2nd order sigma-delta ADCs, which could be employed in three voltage channels (phase A, B and C) and four current

channels (phase A, B, C and neutral line) in a typical three-phase four-wire system.

The M90E36A has an embedded DSP which executes calculation of active energy, reactive energy, apparent energy, fun-

damental and harmonic active energy over ADC signal and on-chip reference voltage. The DSP also calculates measure-

ment parameters such as voltage and current RMS value as well as mean active/reactive/apparent power.

A four-wire SPI interface is provided between the M90E36A and the external microcontroller. In addition, DMA mode can

be used for 7-channel ADC raw data access, offering more flexibility in system application.

The M90E36A is suitable for poly-phase multi-function meters which could measure active/reactive/apparent energy and

fundamental/harmonic energy either through four independent energy pulse outputs CF1/CF2/CF3/CF4 or through the cor-

responding registers.

With the on-chip THD and DFT engine, all phases' THD and DFT results can be directly accessed through related regis-

ters, thus simplifying hardware design in Data Acquisition Terminals.

The proprietary ADC and auto-temperature compensation technology for reference voltage ensure the M90E36A's long-

term stability over variations in grid and ambient environment conditions.
