STEVAL-IPE005V1, STPM01 programmer board - hardware
Introduction
The STPM01 - programmer kit works in conjunction with the STPM01 energy meter ASSP
device and with the STPM01 manager software. It is an integrated system designed to
provide the user with a complete, ready-to-use energy meter application. The reference
design is a high-end solution for power metering based on the STR710 microcontroller with
an embedded RTC and an external memory interface (EMI) ready to drive 1Mbyte of on-
board SRAM.
The kit also integrates an on-board optical insulated serial line allowing isolation of the
board ground reference in order to avoid propagation of overvoltage on the PC side.
Moreover, the on-board charge pump allows burning the STPM01 energy meter ASSP
device registers.
Access to the STPM01 device registers is ensured using a dedicated SPI bus interface.
The STPM01 programmer kit demonstrates how effectively the STPM01 can be used in
real-world energy meter applications and it helps the user to develop his own application.
The STPM01 programmer kit can be used in two ways:
■
For demonstration purposes, by connecting the reference design to an AC power source
and changing all the settings parameters through the GUI interface and the hardware
programmer/reader board
■
To evaluate and develop a custom application
