71M6511/71M6511H 2-Layer Demo Board

QUICK START GUIDE

Getting Started

The TERIDIAN Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) 71M6511/71M6511H Demo Board is a demonstration board for
evaluating the 71M6511/71M6511H device for single-phase electronic power metering applications on a two-layer
PCB. It incorporates a 71M6511 or 71M6511H integrated circuit, peripheral circuitry such as a serial EEPROM,
emulator port, and on-board power supply as well as a companion Debug Board that allows a connection to a PC
through a RS232 port. The Demo Board allows the evaluation of the 71M6511 or 71M6511H power meter controller
chip for measurement accuracy and overall system use.
The Demo Board is pre-loaded with MPU Demo Code in the FLASH memory of the 71M6511/71M6511H IC. This
embedded application is developed to exercise all peripherals, flash programming, and CPU management (clock,
timing, power savings, etc.), and to provide easy access to all metering information.
Downloading of any other TSC or custom application can be done through the in-circuit emulator port or through the
Flash Download Board Module (FDBM).

Safety and ESD Notes

Connecting live voltages to the demo board system will result in potentially hazardous voltages on the demo board.

EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO
BOARD ONCE IT IS CONNECTED TO LIVE VOLTAGES!

THIS DEMO SYSTEM IS ESD SENSITIVE! ESD PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE

TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO BOARD!

Using the Demo Board

The Demo Board is a ready-to-run meter with a Kh of 1.0 Wh/pulse (if used with a CT with a 2,000:1 winding ratio).
The Demo Board has been tested on a meter calibration system, but it has not been calibrated
