Description
The STPM1x family is designed for effective
measurement of active energy in a power line
system using a Rogowski Coil, Current
Transformer and Shunt sensors. This device is
specifically designed to provide all the necessary
features to implement a single phase energy
meter without any other active component. The
STPM1x device family consists, essentially, of two
parts: the analog part and the digital part. The
former, is composed of a preamplifier and first
order ∑ ∆ A/D converter blocks, band gap
STPM11/12/13/14
and digital calibration
TSSOP20
voltage reference, low drop voltage regulator. The
digital part is composed of a system control,
oscillator, hard wired DSP and interface for
calibration and configuration.
The calibration and configuration are done by
OTP cells, that can be programmed through a
serial interface. The configured bits are used for
testing, configuration and calibration purposes.
From two ∑ ∆ output signals coming from the
analog section, a DSP unit computes the amount
of consumed active energy. The active energy is
available as a pulse frequency output and directly
driven by a stepper counter. In the STPM1X an
output signal with pulse frequency proportional to
energy is generated. This signal is used in the
calibration phase of the energy meter application
allowing a very easy approach. When the device
is fully configured and calibrated, a dedicated bit
of OTP block can be written permanently in order
to prevent accidental entry into test mode or
changing any configuration bit.
This is the error due to the DC component associated with the analog inputs of the A/D
converters. Due to the internal automatic DC offset cancellation, the STPM1X measurement
is not affected by DC components in voltage and current channel. The DC offset
cancellation is implemented in the DSP.
5.3 Gain error
The gain error is gain due to the signal channel gain amplifiers. This is the difference
between the measured ADC code and the ideal output code. The difference is expressed as
a percentage of the ideal code.
5.4 Power supply DC and AC rejection
This parameter quantifies the STPM1X measurement error as a percentage of the reading
when the power supplies are varied. For the PSRR
nominal supply voltages (3.3 and 5 V) is taken. A second reading is obtained with the same
input signal levels when an ac (200 mV

5.5 Conventions
The lowest analog and digital power supply voltage is named VSS which represents the
system Ground (GND). All voltage specifications for digital input/output pins are referred to
GND.
Positive currents flow into a pin. Sinking current means that the current is flowing into the pin
and is positive. Sourcing current means that the current is flowing out of the pin and is
negative.

7 Theory of operation
7.1 General operation
The STPM1X is able to perform active energy measurement (wide band or fundamental) in
single-phase energy meter systems.
Due to the proprietary energy computation algorithm, STPM1X active energy is not affected
by any ripple at twice the line frequency. The calibration is very easy and fast allowing
calibration in only one point over the whole current range which allows saving time during
the calibration phase of the meter. The calibration parameters are permanently stored in the
OTP (one time programmable) cells, preventing calibration tampering.
Several functions are programmable using internal configuration bits accessible through the
configuration interface. The most important configuration bits are two configuration bits
called PST that allow the selection of the sensor and the gain of the input amplifiers.
The STPM1X is able to directly drive a stepper motor with the MOP and MON pins, and
provides information on tamper, no-load and negative power.
Two kinds of active energy can be selected to be brought to the LED pin: the total active

Input amplifiers
The STPM1X has one fully differential voltage input channel and one (STPM11/12) or two
(STPM13/14) fully differential current input channels.
The voltage channel consists of a differential amplifier with a gain of 4. The maximum
differential input voltage for the voltage channel is ±0.3V.
In STPM13/14, the two current channels are multiplexed (see tamper section for details) to
provide a single input to a preamplifier with a gain of 4. The output of this preamplifier is
connected to the input of a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with possible gain selections
of 2,4,6,8. The total gain of the current channels will be then 8, 16, 24, 32. The gain
selections are made by writing to the gain configuration bits PST and it can be different for
the two current channels. The maximum differential input voltage is dependent on the
selected gain according to the
