HSDC Interface
The high speed data capture (HSDC) interface is disabled after
default. It can be used only if the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/
ADE7878 is configured with an I
2
C interface. The SPI interface
of the ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 cannot be used
simultaneously with HSDC.
Bit 6 (HSDCEN) in the CONFIG register activates HSDC when
set to 1. If Bit HSDCEN is cleared to 0, the default value, the
HSDC interface is disabled. Setting Bit HSDCEN to 1 when SPI
is in use does not have any effect. HSDC is an interface for
sending to an external device (usually a microprocessor or a
DSP) up to sixteen 32-bit words. The words represent the
instantaneous values of the phase currents and voltages, neutral
current, and active, reactive, and apparent powers. The registers
being transmitted include IAW V, VAW V, IB W V, VBWV, ICWV,
VCWV, IN W V, AVA , BVA, CVA, AWAT T, BWAT T, C WAT T,
AVA R , BVA R , and C VAR . All are 24-bit registers that are sign
extended to 32-bits (see Figure 37 for details). In the case of
ADE7854 and ADE7858, the INWV register is not available. In
its place, the HSDC transmits one 32-bit word always equal
to 0. In addition, the AVA R , BVA R , a n d C VAR registers are not
available in the ADE7854. In their place, the HSDC transmits
three 32-bit words that are always equal to 0.
HSDC can be interfaced with SPI or similar interfaces. HSDC is
always a master of the communication and consists of three
pins: HSA, HSD, and HSCLK. HSA represents the select signal.
It stays active low or high when a word is transmitted and it is
usually connected to the select pin of the slave. HSD sends data
to the slave and it is usually connected to the data input pin of
the slave. HSCLK is the serial clock line that is generated by the
ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 and it is usually con-
nected to the serial clock input of the slave. Figure 91 shows the
connections between the ADE78xx HSDC and slave devices
containing an SPI interface.

The HSDC communication is managed by the HSDC_CFG
register (see Table 53). It is recommended to set the HSDC_CFG
register to the desired value before enabling the port using Bit 6
(HSDCEN) in the CONFIG register. In this way, the state of
various pins belonging to the HSDC port do not take levels incon-
sistent with the desired HSDC behavior. After a hardware reset
or after power-up, the MISO/HSD and
SS
/HSA pins are set high.
Bit 0 (HCLK) in the HSDC_CFG register determines the serial
clock frequency of the HSDC communication. When HCLK is
0 (the default value), the clock frequency is 8 MHz. When HCLK
is 1, the clock frequency is 4 MHz. A bit of data is transmitted
for every HSCLK high-to-low transition. The slave device that
receives data from HSDC samples the HSD line on the low-to-
high transition of HSCLK.
The words can be transmitted as 32-bit packages or as 8-bit
packages. When Bit 1 (HSIZE) in the HSDC_CFG register is 0 (the
default value), the words are transmitted as 32-bit packages. When
Bit HSIZE is 1, the registers are transmitted as 8-bit packages. The
HSDC interface transmits the words MSB first.
Bit 2 (HGAP) introduces a gap of seven HSCLK cycles between
packages when Bit 2 (HGAP) is set to 1. When Bit HGAP is cleared
to 0 (the default value), no gap is introduced between packages
and the communication time is shortest. In this case, HSIZE
does not have any influence on the communication and a data
bit is placed on the HSD line with every HSCLK high-to-low
transition.
Bits[4:3] (HXFER[1:0]) decide how many words are transmitted.
When HXFER[1:0] is 00, the default value, then all 16 words are
transmitted. When HXFER[1:0] is 01, only the words representing
the instantaneous values of phase and neutral currents and phase
voltages are transmitted in the following order: IAWV, VAWV,
IBWV, VBWV, ICWV, VCWV, and one 32-bit word that is always
equal to INWV. When HXFER[1:0] is 10, only the instantaneous
values of phase powers are transmitted in the following order:
AVA, BVA, CVA, AWATT, BWATT, CWAT T, AVAR , BVA R , and
CVA R . The value, 11, for HXFER[1:0] is reserved and writing it is
equivalent to writing 00, the default value.
Bit 5 (HSAPOL) determines the polarity of HSA function of the
SS
/HSA pin during communication. When HSAPOL is 0 (the
default value), HSA is active low during the communication.
This means that HSA stays high when no communication is in
progress. When a communication is executed, HSA is low when
the 32-bit or 8-bit packages are transferred, and is high during
the gaps. When HSAPOL is 1, the HSA function of the
SS
/HSA
pin is active high during the communication. This means that
HSA stays low when no communication is in progress. When a
communication is executed, HSA is high when the 32-bit or
8-bit packages are transferred, and is low during the gaps.
Bits[7:6] of the HSDC_CFG register are reserved. Any value
written into these bits does not have any consequence on HSDC
behavior.
Figure 92 shows the HSDC transfer protocol for HGAP = 0,
HXFER[1:0] = 00 and HSAPOL = 0. Note that the HSDC
interface sets a data bit on the HSD line every HSCLK high-
to-low transition and the value of Bit HSIZE is irrelevant.
