KM35 MCU Family for Smart Metering

NXP's MCUs feature a high-accuracy AFE with four 24-bit Sigma-Delta ADCs for simultaneous voltage and current measurement

Image of NXP's KM Series MCUsNXP'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.

Features
  • Analog front-end
    • High-accuracy AFE with four 24-bit Sigma-Delta ADCs for simultaneous voltage and current measurement
    • 16-channel, 16-bit SAR ADC inputs for accurate measurement of phase voltage in three-phase applications
  • Security and HMI
    • Cortex-M0+ core, memory protection unit, and cross-bar peripheral bridge
    • GPIO and DMA enable compliance with WELMEC and OIML standards
    • Active and passive tamper pins with automatic time stamping to protect against external intrusion
    • HW encryptions (MMCAU – DES, 3DES, AES, MD5, and SHA-1/SHA-256) CRC (16-bit/32 bit) for data integrity
  • Rich enablement
    • Comprehensive peripheral library drivers included in the MCUXpresso ecosystem
    • Filter- and FFT-based metrology firmware provided free-of-charge
    • TWR-KM35Z75M NXP Tower System Module compatible with multiple peripheral modules from NXP and third parties
Applications
  • Electricity meters
  • Flow meters (such as heat, water, and gas)
  • Industrial measurement and sensing
