1.1 What’s Included with an EVK?
The PSU evaluation kit (EVK) includes the 78M6613 PSU Board (P/N 78M6613-PSU-1) demonstrating
an example modular daughter card for measurements of a single phase AC load or power supply. The
small daughter card incorporates the 78M6613 power and energy measurement IC and plugs into a host
adaptor board that includes sensors, connection to AC mains, and an isolated serial port connection to a
Windows PC.

78M6613 PSU Board (and provided host board)
The 78M6613 on the board is pre-programmed with PSU Demo Code and calibrated at the factory. The
78M6613 energy measurement data and status is read back over the serial UART interface presented to
the PC as a virtual COM port. The 78M6613 PSU Eval Kit requires a PC with Microsoft® Windows XP or
Win2000 with a USB port and a minimum 1024 x 768 video display resolution. An AC source and load
complete the rest of the test setup needed to collect measurements.
