71M6521 Demo Board
QUICK START GUIDE
Getting Started
The TERIDIAN Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) 71M65121 Demo Board is a demonstration board for evaluating
the 71M6521D, 71M6521F, and 71M6521B devices for single-phase electronic power metering applications on a
two-layer PCB. It incorporates a 71M6521 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 71M6521 energy meter IC for measurement accuracy and
overall system use.
The Demo Board is pre-loaded with MPU Demo Code in the FLASH memory of the 71M6521 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 using the
Signum ADM51 emulator or the Flash Programmer Module (TFP-1).
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
