Data Flow
The data flow between CE and MPU is shown in Figure 17. In a typical application, the 32-bit compute engine (CE)
sequentially processes the samples from the voltage inputs on pins IA, VA, IB, VB, IC, and VC performing calculations to
measure active power (Wh), reactive power (VARh), A
2
h, and V
2
h for four-quadrant metering. These measurements are then
accessed by the MPU, processed further and output using the peripheral devices available to the MPU.

CE/MPU Communication
Figure 18 shows the functional relationship between CE and MPU. The CE is controlled by the MPU via shared registers in the
I/O RAM and by registers in the CE DRAM. The CE outputs two interrupt signals to the MPU: CE_BUSY and XFER_BUSY,
which are connected to the MPU interrupt service inputs as external interrupts. CE_BUSY indicates that the CE is actively
processing data. This signal will occur once every multiplexer cycle. XFER_BUSY indicates that the CE is updating data to the
output region of the CE RAM. This will occur whenever the CE has finished generating a sum by completing an accumulation
interval determined by SUM_CYCLES * PRE_SAMPS samples. Interrupts to the MPU occur on the falling edges of the
XFER_BUSY and CE_BUSY signals.
Figure 19 shows the sequence of events between CE and MPU upon reset or power-up. In a typical application, the sequence
of events is as follows:
1) Upon power-up, the MPU initializes the hardware, including disabling the CE
2) The MPU loads the code for the CE into the CE PRAM
3) The MPU loads CE data into the CE DRAM.
4) The MPU starts the CE by setting the CE_EN bit in the I/O RAM.
5) The CE then repetitively executes its code, generating results and storing them in the CE DRAM
It is important to note that the length of the accumulation interval, as determined by N
ACC
, the product of SUM_CYCLES and
PRE_SAMPS is not an exact multiple of 1000ms. For example, if SUM_CYCLES = 60, and PRE_SAMPS = 00 (42), the resulting
accumulation interval is:
