1.1 What’s Included with an EVK?
The HPL Evaluation Kit (EVK) includes the 78M6613 HPL Board (P/N 78M6613-SP-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 HPL Board
The 78M6613 on the board is pre-programmed with HPL 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 HPL Evaluation Kit requires a PC with Microsoft
®
Windows
XP or later 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.
