A full ecosystem of tools, software, application notes and system solutions gives developers using this series a head start. One can test and experience accuracy results with the MSP430F6736 EVM , a single-phase electricity meter. This evaluation module is preprogrammed and calibrated, reducing time to market and development cost. One can also program and debug F673x/F672x devices with the MSP-TS430PZ100B standalone target board and MSP-FET430U100B flash emulation tool. Application notes are also available to support three-phase metering and Rogowski coil solutions, offering a flexible, lower cost alternative to metering designs. Additionally, TI’s free MSP430 Energy Library is available to support metrology software on the new F673x/F672x devices, providing an easy startup for customers developing a utility meter product. It also supports metrology software measurements such as voltage, energy and tamper detection. The MSP430 electricity metering selection tool provides an easy way for developers to find the right product for their applications. The developer just needs to know three basic requirements: 1) single-, dual- or three-phase support 2) estimated memory size, and 3) requirements for anti-tampering.
