1.4 Device Information

The ADS131M08 is an eight-channel, simultaneously sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that offers wide dynamic range, low power, and energy-measurement-specific features, making the device an excellent fit for energy metering, power metrology, and circuit breaker applications. The ADC inputs can be directly interfaced to a resistor divider network or a power transformer to measure voltage or to a current transformer or a Rogowski coil to measure current.

The MSPM0G1506 microcontroller (MCU) is part of the MSP highly integrated, ultra-low-power 32-bit MCU family based on the enhanced Arm® Cortex®-M0+ 32-bit core platform operating at up to 80MHz frequency. These cost-optimized MCUs offer high-performance analog peripheral integration, support extended temperature ranges from –40°C to 125°C, and operate with supply voltages ranging from 1.62V to 3.6V.

The TRS3232E device consists of two line drivers, two-line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15kV IEC ESD protection pin to pin (serial-port connection pins, including GND). The device meets the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and provides the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial-port connector.

The ISO6731 device is a triple-channel digital isolator that is an excellent choice for cost-sensitive applications requiring up to 5000VRMS isolation ratings per UL 1577. The ISO6731 device provides high electromagnetic immunity and low emissions at low power consumption, while isolating CMOS or LVCMOS digital I/Os.

The TPS709 series of linear regulators are ultra-low, quiescent current devices designed for power-sensitive applications. A precision band-gap and error amplifier provides 2% accuracy over temperature.

The CDC6CE008192 is a high-precision Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) oscillator with micro-resonator technology integrated directly into a package allowing for low jitter clock circuitry.
