2.4.1
The UART and SPI1 interfaces are multiplexed. Through the UART or SPI1 interface,
the host MCU can communicate with the metering front-end to perform calibration or
obtain metering results. The SPI interface may also be used if high-speed data transfer
is desired. In this case, the SPI interface of the dsPIC device works in the slave mode.
The UART and SPI1 share a common pin, so only one of the two interfaces can be
used at a time. Since the reference design uses a PC to simulate the host MCU, the
UART interface is chosen as the communication interface. SPI and RS232 interfaces
are not isolated from the PC. A general-purpose transceiver device, MAX232, is used
for the UART interface.
2.4.2
Three sets of outputs for energy measurement pulses are available in this design,
corresponding to the I/O pins of RD1-RD3. Two of them, output total active energy and
total reactive energy, respectively, and the other is not yet specified. Outputs are
isolated by a photo-electronic coupling device, U
active when corresponding I/O pin is high.
In addition, the design also provides two sets of LED outputs for energy meter calibra-
tion. The output pins for these LEDs are RC13 and RC14. The LED is on when the
output is low. Figure 2-4 is the circuit of energy pulse output interface.
