About electrical parameter conversion

BL0942When defining products, we take into account that smart home product manufacturers are not professional measuring instrument manufacturers, do not have professional

calibration equipment, and have relatively low requirements for energy measurement accuracy. They only provide electricity reference information and do not use billing standards. The smart

device only needs to read the power, voltage, current, and calculate the power consumption based on the active energy pulse count, soBL0942When the circuit leaves the factory, it is guaranteed

that the gain deviation of the chip itself is less than1%.

If the customer's peripheral device accuracy1%, the accuracy of the whole machine can reach2%within;

About the active power anti-creep threshold setting

usually inPCBDuring wiring, it may be due to board wiring or external electromagnetic interference. When there is no load, due to the

influence of noise signals, the chip detects noise power, resulting in positive or negative power in the active power register.

BL0942It has a patented power anti-submarine function to ensure that the board-level noise power will not accumulate power when there is no current

input. Active power anti-creep threshold register (WA_CREEP) ,for8bitunsigned number, default is0BH. The value is the same as the merit

The corresponding relationship between the power register values is shown in the following formula. When the absolute value of the input active

power signal is less than this value, the output active power register is zero. This allows the value output to the active power register to be0.

When the current channel is in the anti-submarine state, the effective value of the channel is not measured and is also cut off to0.

PCBDesign considerations

existPCBThings to note when wiring:

1) The resistors and capacitors for current sampling should be as close as possibleBL0942pins to prevent the leads from being too long,PCBInterference from other signal

lines on the board; (The current sampling signal is approximately5uV~16mV) In order to reduce interference to the current sampling signal, the ground wire of the

2) sampling resistor is routed separately from the power supply ground; the current channel is differential sampling,IP,INThe signal traces are parallel and close together,

PCBKeep traces on the board as short as possible. Current samplingIP,INThe external circuit parameters should be balanced as much as possible, and the traces should

3) be kept parallel and as short as possible; since the load current flows through the alloy resistor, it is necessary to pay attention to the maximum possible load current.

4) 16A,existPCB The wiring connecting the alloy sampling resistor on the board should be as thick as possible (high current wiring)

Current Sampling Differential Traces

Come out from the inside of the sampling resistor

The sampling resistor is connected to GND

The pads are routed separately and connected to the electrical

separated from place of origin

The power ground is pulled from the terminal,

Separate from current sampling

5) Since the resistor voltage dividing network for voltage sampling converts AC220Vvoltage drops to57.52mVleft and right, pay attention to whether the withstand voltage of

the voltage dividing resistor meets the requirements, and consider the creepage distance; keep a distance from the current sampling trace to prevent signal crosstalk.
