P50 Agile P153 3 Hardware Design
P153/EN M/B 3-7
2.2 Microcontroller with DSP module
The hardware is designed around 32 bit controller housed in small 100 pin SMD package. It is an high
speed fix point Controller having MIPS’s M4K® 32-bit core with 5-stage pipeline capable of operating
up to 80 MHz. This controller is referred as MCU (Microcontroller unit).

2.3 Microcontroller and analog measurement
P153 hardware supports 4 Analog inputs. The relay hardware uses external 16 bit ADC converter with
capability to sample 8 signals simultaneously to avoid any phase angle error and achieve higher
accuracy. In P153, only 4 channels of ADC converter are used. This external ADC can measure input
in a range of – 10 V to +10 V. The ADC is interfaced using SPI serial interface, to avoid any software
delays. The MCU continuously monitors different analog signals like line and E/F currents through
CTs, multiplexer and ADC.
The relay is designed for 5 amp and 1 amp CT secondary current signal. These inputs are further
scaled down to low voltage signal by using internal current and transformer. The internal current
transformer converts nominal current signal to 3.3mA. These analog signals are then passed through
protection circuit, anti aliasing filter and amplifier which scales analogue signal to required ADC range.
This anti aliasing filter blocks all high frequency components and surges to avoid measurement error.
The sample and hold (S/H) circuit and multiplexer sample all analog signals at same instant to avoid
and phase angle error and give maximum accuracy.
