For the active power signal calculation, the MCP3909
uses a digital low-pass filter. This low-pass filter is a
first-order IIR filter, which is used to extract the active
real-power information (DC component) from the
instantaneous power signal. The magnitude response
of this filter is detailed in
the instantaneous power signal has harmonic content
(coming from the 2ω components of the inputs), and
since the filter is not ideal, there will be some ripple at
the output of the low-pass filter at the harmonics of the
line frequency.
The cut-off frequency of the filter (8.9 Hz) has been
chosen to have sufficient rejection for commonly-used
line frequencies (50 Hz and 60 Hz). With a standard
input clock (MCLK = 3.58 MHz) and a 50 Hz line
frequency, the rejection of the 2ω component (100 Hz)
will be more than 20 dB. This equates to a 2ω
component containing 10 times less power than the
main DC component (i.e., the average active real
power).
FIGURE 4-5:
(MCLK = 3.58 MHz).
The output of the low-pass filter is accumulated in the
digital-to-frequency converter. This accumulation is
compared to a different digital threshold for F
and HF
measured by the part. Every time the digital threshold

The equivalent quantity of real energy required to
output a pulse is much larger for the F

integration period acts as another low-pass filter so that
the output ripple due to the 2ω components is minimal.
However, these components are not totally removed,
since realized low-pass filters are never ideal. This will
create a small jitter in the output frequency. Averaging

The thresholds for the accumulated energy are

output frequencies are quite low in order to allow
superior integration time (see Section 4.7 “Active

EQUATION 4-1:
For a given DC input V, the DC and RMS values are
equivalent. For a given AC input signal with amplitude
of V, the equivalent RMS value is V/ sqrt(2), assuming
purely sinusoidal signals. Note that since the real
power is the product of two RMS inputs, the output
frequencies of AC signals are half of the DC inputs
ones, again assuming purely sinusoidal AC signals.
