OVERVIEW
The PL7401 is an accurate fault tolerant electrical energy measurement IC intended for use in two-wire distribution systems. This approach provides superior stability and accuracy over extremes in environmental conditions and over time.
The PL7401 incorporates a fault detection scheme, which both warns of fault conditions and allows the PL7401 to continue accurate billing during a fault event. The Fault condition is detected by continuously monitoring both the phase and neutral (return) currents. A fault is indicated when these currents differ by more than 6.25%, and billing is continued using the larger of the two currents. Gain calibration between channels is adjusted external to this device
The PL7401 includes a power supply monitoring circuit on the VDD supply pin. Internal phase-matching circuitry ensures that the voltage and current channels are matched..
