Microchip Technology PIC32CXMTC-DB Demonstration Board

Microchip Technology PIC32CXMTC-DB Demonstration Board is used to evaluate the PIC32CXMTC Series. This Microchip Technology device is a system-on-chip solution for residential smart meter applications built around dual 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4F processors. The user application runs in Core 0 at a maximum frequency of 200MHz, and the metrology library runs in Core 1 up to 240MHz.

Features

  • Used to evaluate the PIC32CXMTC Series
  • Dual Arm Cortex-M4F core (application and metrology)
  • 3-Phase AFE ATSENSE301 (3 voltages and 4 currents) with network divider and filters
  • Voltage range measurement is from 90 VAC to 264 VAC
  • Can be extended to 291VAC, removing the power supply (U1)
  • Current range measurement depends on the current sensor used and the configuration of the internal PGAs
  • The current sensor input channels come populated with 3.24Ω burden resistors for a current transformer (CT)
  • Compliant with CT, Shunt, or Rogowski Coil sensors
  • Battery-backed real-time clock and power supply monitor
  • 64Mbit Quad IO SPI Flash memory for meter data storage and firmware update
  • User interfaces
    • Isolated UART interface by USB bridge
    • Opto-Port interface compliant with ANSI C12.20 protocol for AMR
    • Isolated access to metering pulses (Wh, VARh, A2h) by an Opto-Port and/or an isolated interface
    • Extension connector for External AFE connection such as MCP3910
    • Custom Liquid Crystal Display dedicated to Microchip metering platform
    • Interface for Xplained PRO boards (ATREB215-XPRO and PL460-EK) with XPRO Power Header and mikroBUS™ standard add-on boards

Applications

  • Residential smart metering
  • Industrial automation
  • Internet of Things (IoT)
