DESCRIPTION
This Application Note describes the PM9903BPE evaluation board and together with the SA9903B data sheet provides a complete evaluation platform. The SA9903B is an accurate bidirectional power / energy measurement IC with serial (SPI) interface measuring active as well as reactive power / energy, RMS voltage and frequency. More detailed information specific to the SA9903B can be found in its datasheet. The PM9903BPE module is designed for single-phase twowire applications. The mains voltages easily connect to the module by way of a Molex connector (SK1).Anon-board shunt resistor measures the current, while provision has been made to insert a current transformer in place of the shunt. A simple transformer power supply supplies the energy metering IC with power. The 78L05 regulator is used to generate a 5 V supply voltage for the device and on-board opto-couplers. Provision has been made to connect an external 5V power supply to drive the isolated opto-coupler. The SA9903B forms the energy/power metering front-end of the module and connects to the SPI bus. Sharing the SPI bus is the SA8807A LCD driver which is capable of driving 96 segments on a 4 back plane LCD. The PM9903BPE evaluation board is configured and calibrated via the parallel port of a PC. The data interface between the evaluation board and the PC is fully isolated. The PM9903BPE module can easily be connected to a microcontroller. The SAMES micro-controller board connects to the evaluation module by means of the SPI and JP3 connectors thereby creating a complete power meter without the PC interface. Physically the micro-controller board plugs into the evaluation module with its opto-coupler facing the mains connector (SK1). It shares the SPI bus with the SA8807A onboard LCD controller.

PM9903BPE JUMPER SETTINGS

Power supply jumpers
The power supply jumpers are used to disconnect the onboard power supply, allowing the metering section of the circuit to be powered from an external power supply if required. Jumper J4 J5 J6 Description Connects VDD to the metering circuitry. Default closed Connects VSS to the metering circuitry. Default closed GND connection point. An additional output from the module is made available to the parallel port of the PC. The output can be selected to be the SA9903Bs FMO output or it can be selected to be the modules push button output. Jumper Description PB (left connection) - Connects the push button output through a opto-coupler to pin 13 of the parallel port FMO (right connection) - Connects pin 15 of the SA9903B through a opto-coupler to pin 13 of the parallel port

J12

Shunt / CT selection Jumper

The PCB makes provision for the use of a current transformer in place of the shunt. If required the shunt can be removed and a current transformer inserted. In this case J7 must be closed and the applicable CT termination resistor (R26) inserted. Jumper J7 Shunt OPEN R26 not required CT Closed R26 inserted JP4

Parallel Port power supply jumper

Jumper JP4 is used to select the power source for the optocoupler U7. Power can be taken from the PCs parallel port or from an external 5 volt supply via SK3. Jumper Description Left connection - Power for U7 is taken from the PCs parallel port (pins 1, 14,16,17) Right connection - Connects U7 to SK3. An external power supply can be connected to SK3 to power U7.

Communication jumpers
Jumpers J8 to J11 connect pull up resistors to the SPI inputs of the SA9903B. The pull up resistors are required by the open drain outputs of the HCPL2631 opto-couplers. If a PC is used with the PM9903BPE module the jumpers must be closed, and can be left closed in the case of the SAMES microcontroller board. This board is capable of driving the SPI bus in this state. Default Closed.

PM9903BPE CONNECTOR DESCRIPTION

Jumper SK1 Description Connects the single phase supply to the module. Female BD25pin connects the evaluation board to the PC parallel port by a 1 to 1 cable. The module is isolated from the PC by the opto-couplers. 5V supply to U7 opto coupler This header strip can be used for measuring the I/O pins of the SA9903B and SA8807A. Note that this connector is on the same potential as the SA9903B. Provision is made for VDD and VSS so that a board with a micro controller can be easily fitted without any additional wiring. Signals available on this connector are: Pin number Signal Sa9903 (U1) SA8807 (U2) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 VDD VSS FMO SCK CS MISO MOSI CE Pin 8 Pin 14 Pin 15 Pin 12 Pin 18 Pin 13 Pin 17 NC Pin 13 Pin 26 NC Pin 18 NC Pin 20 Pin 19 Pin 21 Micro-controller board Once the board has been plugged into the evaluation module no further action is required, just apply power. PC After removing the micro-controller board the evaluation board can be connected to the PCs parallel port using a 1 to 1 parallel cable (not supplied). Once the evaluation board has been connected to the PC and powered up, the supplied software can be launched. Refer to the next section for the software installation and setup details.

SETTING UP THE PM9903BPEMODULE

Figure 3 below shows a typical setup for the PM9903BPE evaluation module. The mains voltage is connected directly to SK1 and the live current is wired through the on-board shunt. An external power supply can be connected to SK3 should the PCs parallel port not be able to source enough current for the module's opto-couplers. The PM9903BPE evaluation module is setup by default for 230V/80A operation. When the hardware settings have been verified the user has the choice of using the micro-controller board or a PC to evaluate the SA9903B further. Please note when using the PC the micro-controller board should be unplugged to prevent a SPI bus contention, since the PC and micro-controller would be attempting to drive the bus simultaneously.

PM9903BPE PM9903BPE EVALUATION SOFTWARE

Software for the SA9903BPE module is designed to communicate with the SA9903BPE module via the PCs parallel port. There are two versions, one for Windows 9x/NT/XP and one for Dos. The source code (C++ Builder for the Windows version and Borland C++ for the Dos version) is also included. program can be launched from the windows menu (Start -> Programs -> PM990x -> PM990x). For instructions on using the program, see the programs help file (PM990x.hlp)

Running the Dos software File Description:Windows software

The source code is contained in the "Windows Source.zip" file. The most important files are: MainUnit.cpp This file contains the functions to write/read to the SA9903 registers, write to the LCD, meter calculations and pulse generation. AdvancedUnit.cpp This file contains the functions for reading the parameters from the advanced settings form (meter pulse constant, rated voltage, etc) Common.h All the constants. The program is executed by running the 9903mtr.exe file with the following arguments: 9903mtr.exe 1 / s The first parameter specifies the LPT port address to use where 1= 0x378 (LPT1) and 2 = 0x278 (LPT2). The optional second parameter invokes the meter-setup menu. On this menu the user enters the module's rated conditions, i.e. Vnominal, Imax and required pulse rate. This enables the module to be used at rated conditions other than the default. The meter-setup menu is invoked automatically if the software doesn't find a calibration file in the root directory. Otherwise the user can force a meter setup by using the /s option on the command line. Further detail can be found in the readme. 1st file in the DOS directory on the supplied disk.

File Description: Dos software

The following files are included on the floppy disk: 9903mtr.c This file contains the source for the functions that read the SA9903 registers, store these values in integration registers, check for any overflow and generate the corresponding energy pulse for the PM9903BPE on-board LEDs. The software does not make use of timers and relies on counting the software loops to generate reasonable delays for the LED outputs. pc_spi.c This file contains the source for all the SPI interface routines which are used to communicate between the PM9903BPE module and the PCs parallel port. pc_lcd.c This file contains the source for all the functions relating to the SA8807 LCD driver IC, as well as other functions to switch on the LCD display icons. 9903mtr.exe This is the executable file.

It is recommended that the flow diagram be implemented together with a timer interrupt used for the creep timing.

Meter creep current

For the SA9903B meter creep must be taken care of in software. From the explanation above on how to generate pulses, the meter must also be prevented from pulsing in cases where the energy measured is less than the creep threshold as per the meter specification. The creep current is defined as the limit for measured energy, any energy less than the creep threshold is discarded, and energy above the creep threshold is measured. The simplest way to implement the creep threshold is to relate it to the time between meter pulses. If the time between pulses is more than the limit, the energy accumulator is cleared. Pulse rate of meter at rated conditions (Hz): Rf = ( Vnom x Imax / 1000) x (Mpr / 3600) Where: Vnom is the mains voltage and correspond to 14A in the voltage inputs. Imax is the maximum mains current to be measured and correspond to 16A on the current inputs of the device. Mpr is themeterpulse rate in pulses/kWh.

Threshold and pulse rates

The active and reactive registers on the SA9903B increment at a rate of 320 000 counts per second at rated metering conditions for a sine wave. A single count of the active register corresponds to an amount of energy expressed in Watt seconds (Ws). Energy per count is (Ws): Epc = Vnom x Imax / 320 000 where: Vnom is the mains voltage and correspond to 14A in the voltage inputs of the SA9903B. Imax is the maximum mains current to be measured and correspond to 16A on the current inputs of the SA9903B. The pulse rate required for a meter is usually expressed in pulses/kWh. A single pulse on the LED is mostly a fraction of a kWh and is converted to energy inWs/pulse Energy per LED pulse is (Ws/pulse): Epp energy = 1000 x 3600 / Mpr where: Epp is energy per LED pulse Mpr is themeterpulse rate ormeterconstant in pulses/kWh The threshold is calculated by dividing the energy represented by a LED pulse by the energy per register count. Active energy threshold = Epp / Epc The threshold is thus the amount of energy to be measured (accumulated / integrated) by the meter before a LED pulse is generated.
Reading Time

Creep threshold time (s): Ct = 1/(Cc / Imax) x Rf where: Cc is the specified creep current; energy below this value is discarded. Imax is the maximum mains current to be measured and correspond to 16A on the current inputs of the device. Rf is the rated current frequency. The flow diagram (figure 6) for the timer interrupt shows how the time between pulses is measured, if the time since the last pulse is more than the time measured, the integrator is reset and a new count down is started.

Figure 8: Typical buffer circuit Firmware The micro-controllers code was created according to the guidelines set out in the evaluation software section. It is presented as a kick-start to experimentation with the microcontroller module and as such shouldnt be seen as the only possible implementation. The code was generated using HiTech PIC C (v8.00PL1); the demo version on their www site (www.htsoft.com) is sufficient for experimentation. The program flow is presented in Figure 9. SPI The 16F876's SPI hardware is used to read the SA9903B's registers, using normal byte wide protocol. All registers are read after receiving a zero-crossing (FMO) interrupt from the SA9903B. The CE signal enables the SPI for the display driver and the CS signal enables the SPI for the SA9903B. Rate LEDs / opto-outputs The 10ms pulse widths on these outputs are derived from a timer interrupt. Creep If the time between two successive pulses is greater than a predefined maximum, the respective energy accumulator is cleared. The simplest method of deciding what the predefined value should be is to measure the time between two pulses at the lowest permissible load current, this is then expressed i.t.o basic timer ticks.

PM9903BPE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

ANALOG SECTION
The analog (metering) interface described in this section is designed for measuring 230V/80A with precision better than Class 1. The most important external components for the SA9903B integrated circuit are the current sense resistors, the voltage sense resistors and the bias setting resistor. The resistors used in the metering section are of the same type to minimize any temperature effects.

Figure 10: Current input configuration

Voltage Divider
Referring to figure 11 the connections for the voltage sense input for one phase is shown. The current into the A/D converter (IVP) is set 14ARMS at nominal mains voltage. This voltage sense input saturates at approximately 17ARMS. A nominal voltage current of 14A allows for 20% over driving. Each phase voltage is divided down by a voltage divider to 14V. The current into the voltage sense input is set at 14A via a 1M resistor. The following equation is used to calculate the 14V voltage drop: RA=R22+R23+R24 RB = R8 || R13 Combining the two equations gives: (RA + RB) / 230V = RB / 14V A 24k resistor is chosen for R13 and a 1M resistor is used for R8. Substituting these values result in: RB = 23.44k RA=RBx(230V/14V-1) RA=361.6k Resistor values of R22, R23 and R24 are chosen to be 120k. If a CT is used capacitors C500 / C501 can be used to compensate for phase shifts between the SA9903s voltage sense inputs and current sense inputs. The value of the phase shift compensation capacitors are calculated as follows, assuming a phase shift of 0.18 degrees. C = 1 / (2 x xMainsfrequency x R8 x tan (Phase shift angle)) C = 1 / (2 x x 50Hz x 1M tan (0.18 degrees)) C = 1.013F
C5 R13 1u 24k

Bias Resistor
Pin VREF (SA9903B pin 3) is connected to Vss via R9 which determines the on chip bias current. With R9=24k optimum conditions are set. VREF does not require any additional circuitry.

CT Termination Resistor (when using a CT)

The voltage drop across the CT termination resistors R26 should be at least 20mV at rated current (Imax). The termination resistor should be less than the CTs DC resistance. Be sure to insert J7 after inserting R26. For 80Ameter R26 = 2.7 When R1 = R2 = IL / 16A / 2500 x RSH / 2 = 80/16A / 2500 x 2.7 = 2K7

Current Sense Resistors (when using a shunt)

Referring to figure 10 the resistors R1 and R2 define the current level into the SA9903Bs current sense inputs (IIP and IIN). The resistor values are selected for an input current of 16A into the current inputs at rated conditions. According to equation described in the Current Sense inputs section of the datasheet: R1 = R2 = (I L/ 16A) x RSH / 2 = 80A / 16A x 625 / 2 = 1K56 1.6K is selected where: I = Line current or if a CT is used I = line current / CTRatio RSH = shunt resistance (625) or if a CT is used RSH = CT termination resistor value.

PM9903BPE
Power Supply
The PM9903BPE module uses a transformer based power supply. The maximum current that can be drawn by the circuit is approximately 100mA. The normal operating current of the module is closer to 30mA. An 78L05 voltage regulator is used to regulate the voltage from the transformer. Two resistors (R500 and R501) generate the analog ground voltage for the SA9903B. The SA9903B operates between 0V and 5V with the GND pin connected tomid-rail. taken not to have current flowing in the node that connects the voltage reference resistor to VSS as it may introduce power supply noise on the voltage reference circuit.

Signal Routing
The signal routing is done in such a manner that any signal coupling in to the measured signal will be a common mode noise signal and is subsequently rejected. Care should be taken that the signals to the SA9903B not be influenced by other sources such as electric fields from transformers etc.

PCB DESIGN
The PM9903BPE evaluation module represents a Class 1 meter and is designed to demonstrate the functionality and performance of the SA9903B metering integrated circuits. The SA9903B is mainly the analog front end of a meter. The SA9903B measures the energy, voltage and frequency which aremadeavailable via SPI to an external controller / PC.When themeters PCB is designed, it should be remembered that the SA9903B inputs are analog and special care need to be taken with the power supply and signal routing to the SA9903B.

THE SA8807A LCD DRIVER

OVERVIEW
The SAMES SA8807A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) driver is capable of driving up to 96 LCD segments and is designed for displays having 3 or 4 track multiplexed back planes. The SA8807A includes an on-chip oscillator and needs only a single external capacitor. Communication to the SA8807A is via the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) which is shared with the SA9903B. This LCD driver is ideal for any micro-controller based system requiring a liquid crystal display of up to 12 seven-segment digits.

Protection
The SA9903B should be protected from the measuring environment. This is achieved by using resistor dividers to scale all the SA9903Bs input signals. MOV's Z1 together with resistor R83 protects the power supply transformer as well as the voltage sense inputs. The current setting resistors on the current sense inputs attenuates any common mode and asymmetrical transients.

USING THE SA8807A Oscillator

The SA8807A includes an on-chip oscillator that is controlled by a single external capacitor. Adjusting the capacitor value will change operating frequency of the SA8807A. The back plane multiplexing is a function of the SA8807A operating frequency. It is thus important to select the frequency high enough that the multiplexing of the display is not noticeable, but still within limits of the LCD display reaction time. f =7F x 0.1Hz / C f = Required oscillator frequency f / 8 = back planemultiplex rate for a 4 back plane display

Component placement
All the resistors on the SA9903Bs current sense inputs should be placed as close as possible to the SA9903B. This eliminates the possibility of any stray signals coupling into the input signals.

Ground Plane
The GND pin of the SA9903B is connected to the neutral phase, which is halfway between VDD and VSS. Note that supply bypass capacitors C1 and C2 are positioned as close as possible to the supply pins of the SA9903B, and is connected to a solid ground plane. Capacitor C6 is also positioned as close as possible to the supply pins of the SA9903B for proper supply bypassing.

SPI Interface
The SA8807A shares the SPI interface with the SA9903B and connects directly to the opto-couplers on the PM9903BPE evaluation board.

Power Supply routing and de-coupling

The 5V supply is de-coupled and routed directly to the power pins of the SA9903B by means of capacitor C506. Care was

Commands
The demonstration software uses a buffer in memory on the PC to generate the complete display. The buffer is dumped to the LCD driver device in one go. The data passed to the driver IC is formatted with a starting address followed by the data for all segments. The first 8 bits is interpreted as address byte and the rest of the data is sequentially passed as data bytes. The address counter on the driver IC is incremented every 8 clocks. The procedure is repeated until all of the LCD memory is filled up.
