Question
Is there any recommendations about soldering and stencil design for ADE7978? I can’t find information in the datasheet about footprint or solderingof LFCSP package.
Answer
We provide footprint/symbol for ADE7978ACPZ as ultra-librarian .BXL file.
This file can be downloaded from :

Ultra Librarian Reader is a tool that generates a generic file (bxl). Thisfile can be converted to any of the supported formats supported by UltraLibrarian. Ultra Librarian currently has 16 different formats to choose from.Multisim is not one of the supported formats but this is being worked on. Thefree ultra-librarian reader can be downloaded from the same webpage as the BXLfile see weblink above.
There is also application notes for soldering LFCSP packages:
