Texas Instruments has announced the demonstration of 60 new fully integrated metering SoCs toat DistribuTECH 2013. The MSP430F677x SoCs can achieve electricity measurement accuracy that meets or exceeds global regulatory requirements for smart polyphase e-meters including IEC 62053-22 and ANSI C12.20 Class 0.2 standards. MSP430F677x SoCs integrated memory enables more sophisticated metering features whereas advanced anti-tampering protection helps electric utilities prevent power theft and meter manipulation.

MSP430F677x SoCs   integrated display drivers support 8-Mux 320-segment LCD controller enabling more detailed displays and extended language support.In addition, a 128-bit hardware-accelerated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) module speeds encryption time compared to a traditional software implementation, improving meter security, performance and reducing energy consumption.

The new MSP430F677x SoCs, along with accompanying software support, makes development quicker and affordable. Its increased memory density allows developers to connect to wired and wireless communications standards including ZigBee, wM-Bus, PRIME, G3-PLC and RF mesh networks......See More
