This document provides the user guide for the evaluation board of the ADE7953 single phase energy metering IC. The evaluation kit includes two boards for evaluating the performance of the ADE7953. It also comes with evaluation software that allows access to the registers of the ADE7953 through a PC interface. The document provides detailed information on using the evaluation kit to evaluate the ADE7953 silicon.
The ADE7953 evaluation kit consists of two boards: the ADE IO Interface Board and the EVAL-ADE7953EBZ evaluation board. The interface board handles PC communications via an NXP LPC2368 microcontroller, while the evaluation board contains the ADE7953 IC with associated filtering and isolation for high voltage inputs. The boards connect via a 25-pin connector.
The document details the hardware overview, powering requirements, and extensive jumper configurations required for different signal setups. It also covers the installation and operation of the accompanying LabVIEW-based evaluation software, which allows users to access the ADE7953 registers and monitor energy metrics.
