GETTING STARTED
1.1 GENERAL
The TERIDIAN Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) 71M6521 Demo Board is an energy meter IC
demonstration board for evaluating the 71M6521 device for single-phase electronic energy metering
applications. It incorporates a 71M6521 integrated circuit, peripheral circuitry such as a serial EEPROM,
emulator port, and on-board power supply as well as a companion Debug Board that allows a connection to
a PC through a RS232 port. The Demo Board allows the evaluation of the 71M6521 energy meter controller
chip for measurement accuracy and overall system use.
The board is pre-programmed with a Demo Program (file name 6521_demo.hex) in the FLASH memory of
the 71M6521 IC. This embedded application is developed to exercise all low-level functions to directly
manage the peripherals and CPU (clock, timing, power savings, etc.).
1.2 SAFETY AND ESD NOTES
Connecting live voltages to the Demo Board system will result in potentially hazardous voltages on the
Demo Board.
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO BOARD
ONCE IT IS CONNECTED TO LIVE VOLTAGES!
THE DEMO SYSTEM IS ESD SENSITIVE! ESD PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO BOARD!
