DESIGN GUIDE

This section provides designers with some basic guidance in developing power meter applications utilizing the TSC
71M652X devices. There are two types of applications that can be developed:

Embedded application using the sources provided by TERIDIAN, or

Embedded application using only customer generated functions.

2.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The following are the minimum hardware requirements for developing custom programs:

• TERIDIAN 71M6521 Demo Board. This board interfaces with a PC via the RS232 serial interface (COM

port).

AC Adaptor (AC/DC output) or variable power supply.

PC with 512MB RAM and 10GB hard drive, 1 COM port and 1 USB port, running either Windows 2000, or
Windows ME or Windows XP.

• Signum Systems ADM-51 In-Circuit Emulator (for loading and debugging the embedded application) and

its associated cables (not included in the demo kit). Signum references this device as ADM-51.

2.2 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The following are the minimum software requirements for embedded application programming:

Keil Compiler version 7.5 or later.

μVision2 version 3.05c (Note: this version comes with Keil Compiler version 7.5).

Signum Systems software Wemu51 (comes with Signum Systems ADM-51 ICE hardware).

The following software tools/programs are included in the 71M652X development kit and should be present on the
development PC:

• Demo Code with Command Line Interface (CLI) - Used to interface directly to metering functions and to

the chip hardware.

• Source

files

Demo Code object file (hex file).
