This pin provides power supply to the digital part. It should be decoupled with a 10μF electro-
lytic capacitor and a 0.1μF capacitor.
DGND: Digital Ground
AVDD: Analog Power Supply
This pin provides power supply to the analog part. This pin should connect to DVDD through
a 10Ω resistor and be decoupled with a 0.1μF capacitor.
Vref: Output Pin for Reference Voltage
This pin should be decoupled with a 1μF capacitor and a 1nF capacitor.

These pins are differential inputs for N line current. Input range is 120μVrms~600mVrms
when gain is '1'.
Note: I2P and I2N are dedicated for the 90E23/24. They should be left open for the 90E21/
22.

CS: Chip Select (Active Low)
In 4-wire SPI mode, this pin must be driven from high to low for each read/write operation,
and maintain low for the entire operation. In 3-wire SPI mode, this pin must be low all the
time. Refer to section 4.1.

This pin is used as the clock for the SPI interface. Data on SDI is shifted into the chip on the
rising edge of SCLK while data on SDO is shifted out of the chip on the falling edge of SCLK.

SDO: Serial Data Output
This pin is used as the data output for the SPI interface. Data on this pin is shifted out of the
chip on the falling edge of SCLK.
OZ
SDI: Serial Data Input
This pin is used as the data input for the SPI interface. Address and data on this pin is shifted
into the chip on the rising edge of SCLK.

MMD1/0: Metering Mode Configuration
00: anti-tampering mode (larger power);
01: L line mode (fixed L line);
10: L+N mode (applicable for single-phase three-wire system);
11: flexible mode (line specified by the LNSel bit (MMode, 2BH))
Note: The MMD1/0 pins are dedicated for the 90E23/24. For the 90E21/22, the metering
mode is fixed as L line mode, and MMD1 should connect to DGND and MMD0 should con-
nect to DVDD.
