GETTING STARTED
1.1 GENERAL
The Teridian
™ 71M6533-DB Demo Board is a demonstration board for evaluating the 71M6533 device for 3-
phase electronic power metering applications. It incorporates a 71M6533 integrated circuit, peripheral circuitry
such as a serial EEPROM, emulator port, and on-board power supply as well as a USB-to-serial adapter that
allows a connection to a PC through the USB port. The demo board allows the evaluation of the 71M6533
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 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 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!
