8.2.2 The AMC1100 in Energy Metering
Resulting from its immunity to magnetic fields, the AMC1100 can be used for shunt-based current sensing in
smart electricity meter (e-meter) designs, as shown in Figure 36. Three AMC1100 devices are used for isolated
current sensing. For voltage sensing, resistive dividers are usually used to reduce the common-mode voltage to
levels that allow non-isolated measurement.

8.2.2.1 Design Requirements
For best performance, an RC low-pass filter can be used in front of the AMC1100. Further improvement can be
achieved by filtering the output signal of the device. In both cases, the values of the resistors and the capacitors
must be tailored to the bandwidth requirements of the system.
