• Manufacturer Part Number: 71M6543G
• Description: The 71M6543F/71M6543H are Teridian's 4th-generation polyphase metering system-on-chips (SoCs) with a 5MHz, 8051-compatible MPU core, low-power real-time clock (RTC) with digital temperature compensation, flash memory, and LCD driver
• Manufacturer: Maxim

In the 71M6543F and 71M6543G, the required VREF compensation coefficients PPMC and PPMC2 are
connected to the 71M6543. Thus, the precision of the voltage sensors is primarily affected by VREF in the
71M6543. The temperature coefficient of the resistors used to implement the voltage dividers for the voltage
sensors (see
recommended to use resistors with low temperature coefficients, while forming the entire voltage divider
using resistors belonging to the same technology family, in order to minimize the temperature dependency of
the voltage division ratio. The resistors must also have suitable voltage ratings.
The Current Transformers are directly connected to the 71M6543 and are therefore primarily affected by the
VREF temperature dependency in the 71M6543. For best performance, it is recommended to use the
differential signal conditioning circuit, as shown in
transformers may also require temperature compensation. The copper wire winding in the CT has dc
resistance with a temperature coefficient, which makes the voltage delivered to the burden resistor
temperature dependent, and the burden resistor also has a temperature coefficient. Thus, each CT sensor
channel needs to compensate for the 71M6543 VREF, and optionally for the temperature dependency of the
CT and its burden resistor depending on the required accuracy class.
71M6543F/H and 71M6543G/GH Data Sheet
In the demonstration code, the shape of the temperature compensation second-order parabolic curve is
determined by the values stored in the PPMC (1
which are typically setup by the MPU at initialization time from values that are stored in EEPROM.
To disable temperature compensation in the demonstration code, PPMC and PPMC2 are both set to zero
for each of the five GAIN_ADJx channels. To enable temperature compensation, the PPMC and PPMC2
coefficients are set with values that match the expected temperature variation of the shunt current sensor
(if required) and the corresponding VREF voltage reference (summed together).
The shunt sensor requires a second order polynomial compensation which is determined by the PPMC
and PPMC2 coefficients for the corresponding current measurement channel. The corresponding VREF
voltage reference also requires the PPMC and PPMC2 coefficients to match the second order
temperature behavior of the voltage reference. The PPMC and PPMC2 values associated with the shunt
and with the corresponding VREF are summed together to obtain the compensation coefficients for a
given current-sensing channel (i.e., the 1
order PPMC2 coefficients are summed together).
calculated from readable on-chip non-volatile fuses (see
71M6543F). These coefficients are designed to achieve ±40 ppm/°C for VREF in the 71M6543F and
71M6543G. PPMC and PPMC2 coefficients are similarly calculated for the 71M6xx3 remote sensor
(see
For the 71M6543H and 71M6543GH (±0.1% energy accuracy), coefficients specific to each individual
device can be calculated from values read from additional on-chip fuses that characterize the VREF
behavior of each individual part across industrial temperatures (see
the 71M6543H).
For the current channels, to determine the PPMC and PPMC2 coefficients for the shunt current
sensors, the designer must either know the average temperature curve of the shunt from its
manufacturer’s data sheet or obtain these coefficients by laboratory characterization of the shunt used
in the design.
4.5.6 Temperature Compensation of VREF and Current Transformers
This section discusses metrology temperature compensation for meter designs where Current
Transformer (CT) sensors are used, as shown in
Sensors that are directly connected to the 71M6543 are affected by the voltage variation in the 71M6543
VREF due to temperature. The VREF in the 71M6543 can be compensated digitally using a second-
order polynomial function of temperature. The 71M6543 features a temperature sensor for the purposes
of temperature compensating its VREF. The compensation computations must be implemented in MPU
firmware and written to the corresponding GAIN_ADJx CE RAM location.
