Teridian Semiconductor has announced the availability of its next generation of electricity metering solutions. The 71M653x family includes residential single phase, commercial and industrial three phase ICs, providing up to 256K bytes of storage with 10 MIPS processing power, new power management, LCD contrast adjust, and 0.5 second/day hardware RTC which consumes 0.5uA. The 71M653x devices incorporate Teridian's metrology architecture built around Single Converter Technology with a 22bit delta-sigma converter with up to seven (7) analogue inputs, differential sensing and a 32-bit customisable metrology processor. Teridian's portfolio of SOC solutions for metering support CT, shunt and Rogowski sensors, up to class 0.2 accuracy at -40 to +85 °C, simultaneous narrow/broad band metrology, harmonic analysis, tamper detection. Third generation devices support RF or PLC communications processing. The 71M653x family is currently available for sampling.
