The TERIDIAN Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) D6533T14A3 Demo Board is a demonstration board for
evaluating the 71M6533/71M6533H device for 3-phase electronic power metering applications. It incorporates a
71M6533 or 71M6533H integrated circuit, peripheral circuitry such as a serial EEPROM, emulator port, and onboard 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 71M6533 or 71M6533H energy meter chip for measurement
accuracy and overall system use.
The board is pre-programmed with a Demo Program in the FLASH memory of the 71M6533/6533H IC. This embedded application is developed to exercise all low-level function calls to directly manage the peripherals, flash
programming, and CPU (clock, timing, power savings, etc.).
The 71M6533/6533H IC on the Demo Board is pre-programmed with default calibration factors. Since current
sensors are not part of the Demo Kit, the Demo Board is tested but not calibrated at the factory.
1.2 SAFETY AND ESD NOTES
Connecting live voltages to the demo board system will result in potentially hazardous voltages on the demo
board.
THE DEMO SYSTEM IS ESD SENSITIVE! ESD PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO BOARD!
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO BOARD
ONCE IT IS CONNECTED TO LIVE VOLTAGES!
Figure 1-1 shows the basic connections of the Demo Board plus Debug Board with the external equipment for
desktop testing, i.e. without live power applied. For desktop testing, both the Demo and Debug board may be
powered with just the 5VDC power supplies.
The D6533T14A3 Demo Board block diagram is shown in Figure 1-2. The configuration consists of a standalone (round) meter Demo Board and an optional Debug Board. The Demo Board contains all circuits
necessary for operation as a meter, including display, calibration LEDs, and internal power supply. The Debug
Board, uses a separate power supply, and is optically isolated from the Demo Board. It interfaces to a PC
through a 9 pin serial port connector. For serial communication between the PC and the TERIDIAN
71M6533/71M6533H, the Debug Board needs to be plugged with its connector J3 into connector J2 of the
Demo Board.
Connections to the external signals to be measured, i.e. scaled AC voltages and current signals derived from
shunt resistors or current transformers, are provided on the rear side of the demo board.
Caution: It is recommended to set up the demo board with no live AC voltage
connected, and to connect live AC voltages only after the user is familiar with
the demo system.
Page: 9 of 83
All input signals are referenced to the V3P3A (3.3V power supply to the chip).
There are several choices for the meter power supply:
•Internal (using phase A of the AC line voltage). The internal power supply is only suitable when the phase A
voltage exceeds 220V RMS. A jumper needs to be installed across JP1 on the bottom of the board.
• External 5VDC connector (J1) on the Demo Board.
• External 5VDC connector (J1) on the Debug Board.
1.7.2 CABLE FOR SERIAL CONNECTION (DEBUG BOARD)
For connection of the DB9 serial port to a PC, either a straight or a so-called “null-modem” cable may be used.
JP1 and JP2 are plugged in for the straight cable, and JP3/JP4 are empty. The jumper configuration is reversed
for the null-modem cable, as shown in Table 1-1.

Null-Modem Cable Alternative -- -- Installed Installed
JP1 through JP4 can also be used to alter the connection when the PC is not configured as a DCE device.
Table 1-2 shows the connections necessary for the straight DB9 cable and the pin definitions.
Table 1-3 shows the connections necessary for the null-modem DB9 cable and the pin definitions.

H E L L 0
The “HELLO” message should be followed by the display of accumulated energy:
3. 0. 0 0 1
The Wh display should be followed by the text “Wh”, as shown below:
The decimal dot in the rightmost segment will be blinking, indicating activity of the MPU inside the
71M6533/6533H.
The Demo Code allows cycling of the display using the PB button. By briefly pressing this button, the next
available parameter from Table 1-4 is selected. This makes it easy to navigate various displays for Demo
Boards without having to use the command line interface (CLI).

See section 3.1 for proper selection of the operation mode when main power is removed:
•A jumper across pins 2-3 (VBAT-GND) of JP16 indicates that no external battery is available. The IC
will stay in brownout mode when the system power is down and it will communicate at 9600bd.
•A jumper across pins 1-2 (BATMODE-VBAT) indicates that an external battery is available. The IC will
be able to transition from brownout mode to sleep and LCD modes when the system power is down
and it will communicate at 300bd.
HyperTerminal can be found by selecting Programs ÆAccessories Æ Communications from the Windows
menu. The connection parameters are configured by selecting File Æ Properties and then by pressing the
Configure button. Port speed and flow control are configured under the General tab (Figure 1-4, left), bit settings
are configured by pressing the Configure button (Figure 1-4, right), as shown below. A setup file (file name
“Demo Board Connection.ht”) for HyperTerminal that can be loaded with File Æ Open is also provided with the
tools and utilities.
Port parameters can only be adjusted when the connection is not active. The disconnect
button, as shown in Figure 1-3 must be clicked in order to disconnect the port.

1.8 USING THE DEMO BOARD
The 71M6533/6533H Demo Board is a ready-to-use meter prepared for use with external current transformers
(CTs).
Using the Demo Board involves communicating with the Demo Code via the command line interface (CLI). The
CLI allows all sorts of manipulations to the metering parameters, access to the EEPROM, initiation of auto-cal
sequences, selection of the displayed parameters, changing calibration factors and many more operations.
Before evaluating the 71M6533/6533H on the Demo Board, users should get familiar with the commands and
responses of the CLI. A complete description of the CLI is provided in section 1.8.1.
The Demo Code residing in the flash memory of the 71M6533/6533H provides a convenient way of examining
and modifying key meter parameters. Once the Demo Board is connected to a PC or terminal per the
instructions given in Section 1.7.2 and 1.7.4, typing ‘
?’ will bring up the list of commands shown in Figure 1-5.

1.8.2 USING THE DEMO BOARD FOR ENERGY MEASUREMENTS
The 71M6533/6533H Demo Board was designed for use with current transformers (CT).
The Demo Board may immediately be used with current transformers having 2,000:1 winding ratio and is
programmed for a Kh factor of 3.2 and (see Section 1.8.4 for adjusting the Demo Board for transformers with
different turns ratio).
Once, voltage is applied and load current is flowing, the red LED D5 will flash each time an energy sum of 3.2
Wh is collected. The LCD display will show the accumulated energy in Wh when set to display mode 3
(command
>M3 via the serial interface).
Similarly, the red LED D6 will flash each time an energy sum of 3.2 VARh is collected. The LCD display will
show the accumulated energy in VARh when set to display mode 5 (command
>M5 via the serial interface).
1.8.3 ADJUSTING THE KH FACTOR FOR THE DEMO BOARD
The 71M6533/6533H Demo Board is shipped with a pre-programmed scaling factor Kh of 3.2, i.e. 3.2Wh per
pulse. In order to be used with a calibrated load or a meter calibration system, the board should be connected to
the AC power source using the spade terminals on the bottom of the board. The current transformers should be
connected to the dual-pin headers on the bottom of the board.
The Kh value can be derived by reading the values for IMAX and VMAX (i.e. the RMS current and voltage
values that correspond to the 250mV maximum input signal to the IC), and inserting them in the following
equation for Kh:
Kh = IMAX * VMAX * 66.1782 / (In_8 * WRATE * N
* X) = 3.19902 Wh/pulse.
ACC
The small deviation between the adjusted Kh of 3.19902 and the ideal Kh of 3.2 is covered by calibration. The
default values used for the 71M6533/6533H Demo Board are:
WRATE: 683
IMAX: 208
VMAX: 600
In_8: 1 (controlled by IA_SHUNT = -15)
N
: 2520
ACC
X: 1.5
Explanation of factors used in the Kh calculation:
WRATE: The factor input by the user to determine Kh
IMAX: The current input scaling factor, i.e. the input current generating 177mVrms at the IA/IB/IC
input pins of the 71M6533. 177mV rms is equivalent to 250mV peak.
VMAX: The voltage input scaling factor, i.e. the voltage generating 177mVrms at the VA/VB/VC input
pins of the 71M6533
In_8: The setting for the additional ADC gain (8 or 1) determined by the CE register IA_SHUNT
N
: The number of samples per accumulation interval, i.e. PRE_SAMPS *SUM_CYCLES
ACC
X: The pulse rate control factor determined by the CE registers PULSE_SLOW and
PULSE_FAST
Almost any desired Kh factor can be selected for the Demo Board by resolving the formula for WRATE:
WRATE = (IMAX * VMAX * 66.1782) / (Kh * In_8 * N
ACC
* X)
For the Kh of 3.2Wh, the value 683 (decimal) should be entered for WRATE at location 2D (using the CLI
command
1.8.4 ADJUSTING THE DEMO BOARDS TO DIFFERENT CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
The Demo Board is prepared for use with 2000:1 current transformers (CTs). This means that for the
unmodified Demo Board, 208A on the primary side at 2000:1 ratio result in 104mA on the secondary side,
causing 177mV at the 1.7Ω resistor pairs R24/R25, R36/R37, R56/R57 (2 x 3.4Ω in parallel).
In general, when IMAX is applied to the primary side of the CT, the voltage V
at the IA, IB, or IC input of the
in
71M6533 IC is determined by the following formula:
V
= R * I = R * IMAX/N
in
where N = transformer winding ratio, R = resistor on the secondary side
If, for example, IMAX = 208A are applied to a CT with a 2500:1 ratio, only 83.2mA will be generated on the se-
condary side, causing only 141mV. The steps required to adapt a 71M6533 Demo Board to a transformer with a
winding ratio of 2500:1 are outlined below:
1) The formula R
= 177mV/(IMAX/N) is applied to calculate the new resistor Rx. We calculate Rx to 2.115Ω
x
2) Changing the resistors R24/R25, R106/R107to a combined resistance of 2.115Ω (for each pair) will
cause the desired voltage drop of 177mV appearing at the IA, IB, or IC inputs of the 71M6533 IC.
3) WRATE should be adjusted to achieve the desired Kh factor, as described in 1.8.3.
Simply scaling IMAX is not recommended, since peak voltages at the 71M6533 inputs should always be in the
range of 0 through ±250mV (equivalent to 177mV rms). If a CT with a much lower winding ratio than 1:2,000 is
used, higher secondary currents will result, causing excessive voltages at the 71M6533 inputs. Conversely, CTs
with much higher ratio will tend to decrease the useable signal voltage range at the 71M6533 inputs and may
thus decrease resolution.
1.8.5 ADJUSTING THE DEMO BOARDS TO DIFFERENT VOLTAGE DIVIDERS
The 71M6533 Demo Board comes equipped with its own network of resistor dividers for voltage measurement
mounted on the PCB. The resistor values (for the D6533T14A3 Demo Board) are 2.5477MΩ (R15-R21, R26-
R31 combined) and 750Ω (R32), resulting in a ratio of 1:3,393.933. This means that VMAX equals
176.78mV*3,393.933 = 600V. A large value for VMAX has been selected in order to have headroom for
overvoltages. This choice need not be of concern, since the ADC in the 71M6533 has enough resolution, even
when operating at 120Vrms or 240Vrms.
If a different set of voltage dividers or an external voltage transformer (potential transformer) is to be used,
scaling techniques similar to those applied for the current transformer should be used.
In the following example we assume that the line voltage is not applied to the resistor divider for VA formed by
R15-R21, R26-R31, and R32, but to a voltage transformer with a ratio N of 20:1, followed by a simple resistor
divider. We also assume that we want to maintain the value for VMAX at 600V to provide headroom for large
voltage excursions.
When applying VMAX at the primary side of the transformer, the secondary voltage V
Vs is scaled by the resistor divider ratio RR. When the input voltage to the voltage channel of the 71M6533 is the
desired 177mV, V
Resolving for R
This divider ratio can be implemented, for example, with a combination of one 16.95kΩ and one 100Ω resistor.
If potential transformers (PTs) are used instead of resistor dividers, phase shifts will be introduced that will require negative phase angle compensation. TERIDIAN can supply Demo Code that accepts negative calibration
factors for phase.
1.9 CALIBRATION PARAMETERS
1.9.1 GENERAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Any calibration method can be used with the 71M6533/6533H chips. This Demo Board User’s Manual presents
calibration methods with three or five measurements as recommended methods, because they work with most
manual calibration systems based on counting "pulses" (emitted by LEDs on the meter).
Naturally, a meter in mass production will be equipped with special calibration code offering capabilities beyond
those of the Demo Code. It is basically possible to calibrate using voltage and current readings, with or without
pulses involved. For this purpose, the MPU Demo Code can be modified to display averaged voltage and
current values (as opposed to momentary values). Also, automated calibration equipment can communicate
with the Demo Boards via the serial interface and extract voltage and current readings. This is possible even
with the unmodified Demo Code.
Complete calibration procedures are given in section 2.2 of this manual.
Regardless of the calibration procedure used, parameters (calibration factors) will result that will have to be
applied to the 71M6533/6533H chip in order to make the chip apply the modified gains and phase shifts
necessary for accurate operation. Table 1-5 shows the names of the calibration factors, their function, and their
location in the CE RAM.
Again, the command line interface can be used to store the calibration factors in their respective CE RAM
addresses. For example, the command
>]10=+16302
stores the decimal value 16302 in the CE RAM location controlling the gain of the current channel (CAL_IA) for
phase A.
The command
>]11=4005
stores the hexadecimal value 0x4005 (decimal 16389) in the CE RAM location controlling the gain of the voltage
channel for phase A (

Description
Adjusts the gain of the voltage channels. +16384 is the typical value. The
gain is directly proportional to the CAL parameter. Allowed range is 0 to
32767. If the gain is 1% slow, CAL should be increased by 1%.
Adjusts the gain of the current channels. +16384 is the typical value. The
gain is directly proportional to the CAL parameter. Allowed range is 0 to
32767. If the gain is 1% slow, CAL should be increased by 1%.
This constant controls the CT phase compensation. No compensation
occurs when PHADJ=0. As PHADJ is increased, more compensation is
introduced.
