Introduction
The PIC32CXMTSH-DB (EV84M21A) is a demonstration board for the PIC32CXMTSH Series from Microchip Technology Inc. This is a system-on-chip solution for residential smart meter applications built around two high-performance 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4F processors, including a 5-channel 24-bit Sigma Delta ADC metering analog front end (2V, 2I and one temperature sensor). The user application runs in Core 0 at a maximum frequency of 200 MHz and the metrology library runs in Core 1 up to 240 MHz. The dual Arm Cortex-M4F architecture allows the integration of the application layer, communications layers and metrology functions in a single device. The board is designed to interface with current transformers, Rogowski coils and shunt current sensors. It can also interface with communications devices such as PLC and/or RF modules.
- Metrology performance verification
- Dual-Core Cortex-M4F solution for meter firmware integration
- RF or PLC communication through modules plugged on dedicated extension ports
