9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

A current sensor connects to the current channels and a simple voltage divider is used for the corresponding voltage measurement. The CT has an associated burden resistor that must be connected at all times to protect the measuring device. The selection of the CT and the burden resistor is made based on the manufacturer and current range required for energy measurements. The voltage divider resistors for the voltage channel are selected to ensure the mains voltage is divided down to adhere to the normal input voltage ranges of the ADS131M03.

In this design, the ADS131M03 interacts with a microcontroller (MCU) in the following manner:

  • The CLKIN clock used by the ADS131M03 device is provided by the MCU
  • When new ADC samples are ready, the ADS131M03 device asserts its DRDY pin, which alerts the MCU that new samples are available
  • After being alerted of new samples, the MCU uses one of its SPI interfaces to retrieve the voltage and current samples from the ADS131M03
