ADE7758
is approximately 16 kHz. A sample set of meters could be tested
to find a more exact value of the pulse output at full scale.

VARCFNUM/VARCFDEN use the following formulas

FULLSCALE

correspond to the full scale ADC inputs of the ADE7758. θ is
the angle between the current and the voltage channel, and the
APCF

value is equivalent to the reference meter output
under the test conditions.
The equations for calculating the VARCFNUM and
VARCFDEN during VAR calibration are similar, with one

Because the CFNUM and CFDEN values can be calculated
from the meter design, these values can be written to the part
automatically during production calibration.
Step 5: Set the test system for I
TEST
, V
NOM
, and the unity power
factor. For VAR calibration, the power factor should be set to 0
in this step. For watt and VA, the unity power factor should be
used. VAGAIN can be calibrated at the same time as WGAIN
because VAGAIN can be calibrated at the unity power factor,
and both pulse outputs can be measured simultaneously.
However, when calibrating VAGAIN at the same time as
WGAIN, the rms offsets should be calibrated first (see the
Calibration of IRMS and VRMS Offset section).
Step 6: Measure the percent error in the pulse output, APCF
and/or VARCF, from the reference meter:

Step 7: Calculate xWG adjustment. One LSB change in xWG
(12 bits) changes the WATTHR register by 0.0244% and
therefore APCF by 0.0244%. The same relationship holds true
for VARCF.

When APCF is calibrated, the xWATTHR registers have the
