ADI launches new energy metering ICs

BANGALORE, INDIA: Analog Devices, Inc (ADI), a provider in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, today introduced four energy metering ICs (integrated circuits) for commercial, industrial, and residential smart meters.

ADI said the new energy metering ICs enable smart electricity meters to deliver improved customer billing accuracy, advanced power quality monitoring, and reduced operating costs for utility companies.

According to Ronn Kliger, Energy Group director, Analog Devices the devices introduced today are significant in that they are able to measure total active and reactive energy with accuracy and dynamic range exceeding Class 0.2 specifications for energy meters.

“The four new devices are also the first in the industry to measure both reactive energy and active energy with 0.1 percent accuracy. In addition, one device also offers capabilities to measure fundamental-only energies, which is critical for power quality measurements,” he added.

ADI said it recently formed a dedicated energy group, headed by Ronn Kliger, to address the growing technology needs for electric metering, substation automation, and emerging applications, such as solar/wind generation, energy storage, and others.
