Chapter 1. Product Overview
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The MCP39F521 Power Monitor Demonstration Board is a fully functional single-phase
power and energy monitor. The system calculates active power, reactive power, RMS
current, RMS voltage, active energy (both import and export), reactive energy and
other typical power quantities as defined in the MCP39F521 data sheet.
The “MCP39F521 Power Monitor Utility” software is used to calibrate and monitor the
system, and can be used to create custom calibration setups. For most accuracy
requirements, only a single-point calibration is needed. The energy meter software
offers an automated step-by-step calibration process that can be used to quickly
calibrate energy meters.
This demonstration board uses the MCP39F521 Power Monitor Utility software for
evaluation via a USB connection to the board. A download link for this software can be
found on the evaluation board’s web page. For instructions on the use of this software,
refer to the software’s supporting documentation included within the application install
package.
