Notes 

 

Non-isolated Configuration 

3.3 VDC supply rail (V3P3) for the 78M6612 must 
be directly connected to AC-Neutral. 

 

Non-isolated Configuration 

Isolation components, if required, are added in 
between the measurement IC and the rest of the 
system. 

 

Safety Precautions 

External test equipment must be floated from 
earth ground to avoid equipment damage. 

 

Safety Precautions 

AC outlets must be properly wired. 

 

Crystal Capacitor’s Value 

Capacitance value is 27 pF for 32.768 kHz crystal. 
No resistor across XTAL. 

 

Shunt Value 

Calculate value based on maximum load current. 
Not to exceed 

±

250 mVpp. 

 

Shunt Power Rating 

Optimize shunt value at maximum load current for 
required power dissipation. 

 

Line Voltage Resistor Divider Selection  Calculate value based on maximum input LINE 

voltage. Not to exceed 

±

250 mVpp. 

 

Line Voltage Divider Resistor Rating 

Select package based on its maximum voltage 
rating and isolation clearance requirements. 

 

CT Turns Ratio and Power Rating  

Select configuration based on maximum load 
current. 

 

CT Burden Resistor Value Calculation 

Calculate value based on maximum load current 
and CT turns ratio. Not to exceed 

±

250 mVpp. 

 

V3P3 Decoupling Capacitor Value and 
Placement 
 

1000 pF and 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed as 
close as possible to the 78M6612 V3P3A pin. Add 
a 22 µF bulk capacitor. 

 

V1 Pin 

Calculate for V1 pin voltage to be between 1.6 V 
and 2.9 V for normal operation. 

 

Reset Circuitry 

Active high. Connect to GND or pull low. 

 

In Circuit Emulator (ICE) Pins 

Connect ICE_EN pin to GND or pull low. 

 

Driving External Loads 

Connect external loads to the DIO pins. 

 

Connecting I2C EEPROMs 

Connect I

2

C EEPROMS or 

µ

Wire EEPROMS to 

DIO pins. 

 

UART0 (TX/RX) 

Attach a 10 k

 pull-down resistor to the RX pin. 

Include a 100 pF ceramic capacitor for EMI 
protection. 

 

Power Supply Topologies 

Select a source of V3P3 power.
