MSP430 for Utility Metering Applications
Designed specifically for the demands of utility metering applications,
TI's MSP430 ultra low power microcontroller is the perfect combination of
ultra-low-power and high performance analog integration. MSP430 offers
devices for water, gas and one to three-phase electricity metering, as
well as radio frequency wireless interfaces for automated meter reading
(AMR).
Flow Metering - Gas or Water
MSP430 devices are ideal for the ultra-low-power consumption required
in flow metering applications. The scan interface (SIF) peripheral module
available on the MSP430FW42x series of devices is an innovative way to
measure rotation of a mechanism. Its advantages lie in its power
efficiency and flexibility, operating while the CPU sleeps. It can operate
with a variety of sensor types and both rotational and linear motion also
can be measured.
