0.004% of FMAX, where FMAX is the output frequency in FAST
mode when the input currents are IVPMAX = 16μARMS and
IIPMAX = 16μARMS. The anti-creep function can also be
disabled. The operation of the anti-creep function is fully
described in the Input Signals and Output Signals sections.
to be. The SA4106A can be calibrated to specification with a
minimum of two pulses on the LED output whilst in
STANDARD mode and utilizing an appropriate reference
meter. This reading is independent of time and will be
repeatable so as to consistently achieve the required
accuracy for the full input current range that needs to be
measured to IEC62053 accuracy. In Figure 6 the reference
meter pulses are counted between two pulses of the meter
under test. The meter under test is then adjusted so as to
reflect the expected number of counted reference meter
pulses. A worst-case scenario is for measurements obtained
for only two pulses of the meter under test and N pulses from
the reference meter. In this case the measurement resolution
will be:
Reverse Energy Flow Indication
The SA4106A assesses the phase difference between the
voltage channel signal and the current channel signal. If this
phase difference is greater than 90 degrees then the DIRO
signal will become active. This facility is designed to detect
the wrongful connection of the meter. This operation is fully
described in the Output Signals section.
Starting Current

The SA4106A generates pulses on the LED and MON/MOP
outputs for an input power greater than 0.01% or 0.004% of
FMAX depending on the selected anti-creep threshold. This is
to comply with the IEC requirement where the meter is
required to generate pulses for currents greater than 0.4%Ib.

The corresponding calibration and repeatability results can
never be more accurate than this measurement resolution.
Power-On Reset
Calibration and Repeatability
The SA4106A has a power-on reset circuitry that activates
whenever the voltage between VDD and VSS is less than
3.6V ± 8%.
The SA4106A provides an output (LED) that is used for
calibration of the meter. The meter is calibrated by comparing
the energy reading of the meter under test with the energy
reading of the reference meter. The reference meter should
have a considerably higher pulse rate than the meter under
test. The accuracy to which the meter has to be calibrated will
dictate how much higher the reference meter pulse rate has
Power Consumption
The power consumption of the SA4106A integrated circuit is
less than 30mW.
