QUICK START GUIDE
Getting Started
The TERIDIAN Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) 71M6515H Demo Board is a demonstration board for evaluating
the 71M6515H meter AFE IC for three-phase electronic power metering applications. It incorporates a 71M6515H
integrated circuit, peripheral circuitry, 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 71M6515H energy meter
AFE chip for measurement accuracy and overall system use.
A PC-resident program provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables the user to control and evaluate all
important chip functions without having to write software.
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 3.2 Wh/pulse (if used with CTs with 2,000:1 winding ratio). The
Demo Board has been tested on a meter calibration system, but it has not been calibrated. Please refer to the Demo
Board User’s Manual for further details on how to use the Demo Board.
Documentation
All data sheets and User’s Manuals are provided in electronic form, i.e. on the CD-ROM supplied with this kit. The
TERIDIAN Semiconductor web site should be checked frequently for updates.
Software/Utilities
The PC program (GUI) can be found on the supplied CD-ROM. The Windows ® 2000 operating system is required to
run the executable (PMTest.exe).
