The EVALSTPM-3PHISO evaluation board implements a complete three-phase energy meter with low-cost shunt current sensors.
The solution is based on the STPMS2 device, a double channel, 24-bits second order sigma-delta modulator, measuring voltage and current for each phase through a voltage divider and a shunt current sensor. Sensing circuitry and PCB layout are optimized to maximize signal-to-noise ratio for optimal accuracy.
The STPMS2 oversamples the signal using a 4 MHz clock distributed in a synchronized way by the microcontroller and outputs voltage and current sigma-delta bitstreams, multiplexed on the same pin.
The two-wire communication between STPMS2 modulator and MCU is isolated by STISO621W, 6 kV galvanic isolated interface, allowing up to 100 Mbps rate and low pulse distortion (<3ns) for safe and fast data transfer between isolated domains.
The FW embedded in the solution exploits the DFSDM filters of the STM32F413RH to convert the six bitstreams into 24-bits voltage and current data, at 200 us rate. All the metrology parameters are computed real time on a 200 us basis.
Two LEDs are available for active and reactive pulses generation.
The FW also implements a virtual com port communication to easily access the internal parameters to read metrology data, to modify the internal configuration for a high flexibility of the application, and to calibrate the board.
