MCP3905A/06A ENERGY METER REFERENCE DESIGN Chapter 2. Installation and Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION The MCP3905A/06A Energy Meter Reference Design is a stand-alone, single-phase residential meter design for active-energy meter designs. For advanced microcontroller-based meter products, this design also serves as the design of the Analog Front-End (AFE). This design includes a low-cost DC power supply circuit and the necessary protection for IEC62053 EMC compliance.
MCP3905A/06A Energy Meter Reference Design 2.3 GETTING STARTED This meter can be manufactured by performing the following two steps detailed in this document. For the external connections, the following terms are used: “phase” refers to the hot (or line) side of the power supply lines. “Neutral” refers to the return wire (or low-side) of the power supply lines. 2.3.1 External Connections Connections are made to the phase and neutral wire for voltage-detection and AC/DC power supply.
Installation and Operation 2.4 ENERGY METER REFERENCE DESIGN OVERVIEW This reference design can be used as either a stand-alone mechanical counter energy meter, or as the analog front-end design in advanced microcontroller-based meter designs. The AFE design limits the overall meter accuracy. A low noise, proven AFE circuit and layout is still required for a high-accuracy meter.

Installation and Operation 2.5.5 Connection to Voltage or Phase Line and Ground Reference Point (JP3,JP4) These two connections feed the DC power supply circuitry described in Section 2.6.3 “Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV1)”. JP4 is connected to the ground of the PCB, and JP3 to the high-side of the DC power supply circuitry. JP3 is also connected to the resistor divider that feeds the analog input of Channel 1 of the MCP3905A/06A.
