NXP's KM series of MCUs is based on the 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core and provides a low-cost, highly integrated solution for one-, two-, and three-phase electricity meters that require powerful 32-bit processing capability, precision analog, security, and HMI functionality. Each MCU includes a powerful analog front-end that is configurable for different regions, enabling power calculations with high accuracy. A high-accuracy, real-time clock delivers less than 5 PPM drift over temperature. Metrology firmware for calculating active, reactive, and apparent power using a variety of algorithms is provided complimentary.
