Patent attributes
A power measurement device for sampling current or voltage signals of a power system to produce a 1-bit delta-sigma bitstream. The power measurement device includes a frequency locked loop for determining the power system frequency directly from the 1-bit delta-sigma bitstream. The frequency locked loop includes a 1-bit rotate CORDIC that is configured to produce difference signals having a multi-bit word for each bit of the 1-bit delta-sigma bitstream, and a phase error calculator that determines the difference between the phase of the power system frequency and a phase ramp generated from a frequency measurement value in a frequency register. The phase error calculator feeds back a phase correction signal to the frequency register to lock the frequency measurement value to the power system frequency.
