Introduction
The MSP430F677x(A) devices are the latest metering system-on-chip (SoC) that belongs to the
MSP430F67xx family of devices. This family of devices belongs to the powerful 16-bit MSP430F6xx
platform, which brings in many new features and provides flexibility to support robust poly-phase
metrology solutions. These devices find their application in energy measurement and have the necessary
architecture to support them.
The F677x(A) has a powerful 25-MHz CPU with MSP430CPUX architecture. The analog front-end
consists of up to seven independent 24-bit analog to digital converters (ADC) based on a second-order
sigma-delta architecture that supports differential inputs. The sigma-delta ADCs (SD24_B) operate
independently and are capable of 24-bit results. They can be grouped together for simultaneous sampling
of voltages and currents on the same trigger. In addition, it also has an integrated gain stage to support
gains up to 128 for amplification of low-output current sensors. A 32-bit x 32-bit hardware multiplier on this
chip can be used to further accelerate math intensive operations during energy computation. The software
energy library supports calculation of various parameters for up to three-phase energy measurement. The
key parameters calculated during energy measurements are: RMS current and voltage, active and
reactive power and energies, power factor, and frequency. The library also provides the option to obtain
raw samples of voltages and currents for advanced metering data such as harmonic analysis and total
harmonic distortion (THD).
Complete metrology source code is provided. The MSP430F677x-based software can be downloaded

Hardware Implementation
This section describes the hardware for the design of a working 3-phase energy meter that uses the
F677x(A).
3.1
Power Supply
The MSP430 family of devices comprises ultralow-power microcontrollers from Texas Instruments.
These devices support a number of low-power modes and also have low-power consumption during active
mode when the CPU and other peripherals are active. The low-power feature of this device family allows
design of the power supply to be simple and inexpensive. The power supply allows the operation of the
energy meter powered directly from the mains. The next sections describe the various power supply
options that are available to users to support their design.

Figure 3. Simple Capacitive Power Supply for the MSP430 Energy Meter
Appropriate values of resistors (R92, R93, and R94) and capacitors (C39, C46, and C50) are chosen
based on the required output current drive of the power supply. Voltage from mains is directly fed to a RC
based circuit followed by a rectification circuit to provide a dc voltage for the operation of the MSP430.
This dc voltage is regulated to 3.3 V for full-speed operation of the MSP430. The design equations for the
power supply are given in the application report Improved Load Current Capability for Cap-Drop Off-Line
Power Supply for E-Meter (SLVA491). The above configuration allows all three phases to contribute to the
current drive, which is approximately three times the drive available from only one phase. If even higher
output drive is required, the same circuitry can be used followed by an NPN output buffer. Another option
would be to replace the above circuitry with a transformer-based or switching-based power supply.

Analog Inputs
The MSP430 analog front end, which consists of the ADC, is differential and requires that the input
voltages at the pins do not exceed 930 mV (gain = 1). To meet this specification, the current and voltage
inputs must be divided down. In addition, the 24 allows a maximum negative voltage of -1 V. Therefore,
ac signals from mains can be directly interfaced without the need for level shifters. This section describes
the analog front end used for voltage and current channels.
3.2.1
Voltage Inputs
The voltage from the mains is usually 230 V or 120 V and must be brought down to a range of 930 mV.
The analog front end for voltage consists of spike protection varistors followed by a simple voltage divider
and a RC low-pass filter that acts like an anti-alias filter.

Software Implementation
The software for the implementation of 3-phase metrology is described in this section. The Section 4.1
describes the setup of various peripherals of the MSP430. Next, the entire metrology software is
described as two major processes: the foreground process (see Section 4.2) and background process
(see Section 4.3).
4.1
Peripherals Setup
The major peripherals are the 24-bit sigma delta (SD24_B) ADC, clock system, timer, LCD, and watchdog
timer (WDT).
4.1.1
24 Setup
The F677x(A) family has up to seven independent sigma delta data converters. For a three-phase system,
at least six s are necessary to independently measure three voltages and currents. The code that
accompanies this application report is designed for the metrology of a 3-phase system with limited antitampering features. However, the code supports the measurement of the neutral current. The clock to the
24 (fM) is derived from system clock, which is configured to run at 16 MHz. The sampling frequency is
defined as fs = fM/OSR, the OSR is chosen to be 256 and the modulation frequency fM, is chosen as
1.048576 MHz, resulting in a sampling frequency of 4.096 ksps. The 24s are configured to generate
regular interrupts every sampling instance.
The following are the channels associations:
A0.0+ and A0.0- Voltage V1
A1.0+ and A1.0- Voltage V2
A2.0+ and A2.0- Voltage V3
A4.0+ and A4.0- Current I1
A5.0+ and A5.0- Current I2
A6.0+ and A6.0- Current I3
Optional neutral channel can be processed via channel A3.0+ and A3.0-.

LCD Controller
The LCD controller on the MSP430F677x(A) can support up to 8-mux displays and 320 segments. It is
also equipped with an internal charge pump that can be used for good contrast. In the current design, the
LCD controller is configured to work in 4-mux mode using 160 segments with a refresh rate set to
ACLK/64, which is 512 Hz. For information, about the parameters that are displayed on the LCD, see
Section 6.1.

Foreground Process
The foreground process includes the initial setup of the MSP430 hardware and software immediately after
a device RESET. Figure 7 shows the flowchart for this process

After the hardware is setup, the foreground process waits for the background process to notify it to
calculate new metering parameters. This notification is done through a status flag every time a frame of
data is available for processing. The data frame consists of processed current, voltage, active energy, and
reactive energy accumulated for one second. This is equivalent to accumulation of 50 or 60 cycles of data
synchronized to the incoming voltage signal. In addition, a sample counter keeps track of how many
samples have been accumulated over this frame period. This count can vary as the software synchronizes
with the incoming mains frequency.
The set of data samples consists of processed current, voltage, active energy, and reactive energy.
Processed voltages are accumulated in 48-bit registers. In contrast, processed currents, active energies,
and reactive energies are accumulated in separate 64-bit registers to further process and obtain the RMS
and mean values. Using the foreground's calculated values of active and reactive power, the apparent
power is calculated. The frequency (in Hertz) and power factor are also calculated using parameters
calculated by the background process using the formulas in Section 4.2.1.
4.2.1
Computation Formulas
This section briefly describes the formulas used for the voltage, current, and energy calculations.
4.2.1.1
As described in the previous sections, simultaneous voltage and current samples are obtained from seven
independent converters at a sampling rate of 4096 Hz. All of the samples that are taken in 1 second
are kept and used to obtain the RMS values for voltage and current for each phase. The RMS values are
obtained by the following formulas:
Sample
count
VRMS , ph = K v, ph *
v ph (n) * v ph (n)
n =1
Sample count
Sample

I RMS , ph = Ki , ph *
i ph (n) * i ph (n)

(1)
Where,
ph = Phase whose parameters are being calculated [that is, Phase A(=1), B(=2), or C(=3)]
vph(n) = Voltage sample at a sample instant n
iph(n) = Each current sample at a sample instant n
Sample count = Number of samples in one second
Kv,ph = Scaling factor for voltage
Ki,ph = Scaling factor for each current
4.2.1.2
Power and energy are calculated for one frame's worth of active and reactive energy samples. These
samples are phase corrected and passed on to the foreground process, which uses the number of
samples (sample count) to calculate phase active and reactive powers by the formulas in Equation 2.

(2)
Where,
v90,ph (n) = Voltage sample at a sample instant n shifted by 90 degrees, and
KACT,ph = Scaling factor for active power
KREACT,ph = Scaling factor for reactive power
Active energy is calculated from the active power by Equation 3.
E ACT , ph = PACT , ph SampleCount
EREACT , ph = PREACT , ph SampleCount
(3)
For reactive energy, the 90 phase shift approach is used for two reasons:
1. It allows accurate measurement of the reactive power for very small currents.
2. It conforms to the international specified measurement method.
The calculated mains frequency is used to calculate the 90 degrees-shifted voltage sample. Because the
frequency of the mains varies, it is important to first measure the mains frequency accurately to phase
shift the voltage samples accordingly (see Section 4.3.3).
To get an exact 90 phase shift, interpolation is used between two samples. For these two samples, a
voltage sample slightly more than 90 degrees before the current sample and a voltage sample slightly less
than 90 degrees before the current sample are used. The application's phase shift implementation
consists of an integer part and a fractional part. The integer part is realized by providing an N samples
delay. The fractional part is realized by a one-tap FIR filter. In the software, a lookup table provides the
filter coefficients that are used to create the fractional delays.
After calculating the active and reactive power, each phase's apparent power is calculated by the following
formula:
(4)
In addition to calculating the per-phase active and reactive power and energy, the cumulative sum of
these parameters are calculated by .

4.2.1.3
Frequency (Hz)
The background process calculates the frequency in terms of samples per mains cycle. The foreground
process then converts this to Hertz by Equation 5.
Sampling Rate (samples / second)
Frequency (Hz) =
Frequency (samples / cycle)
(5)
4.2.1.4
Power Factor
After the active power and apparent power have been calculated, the absolute value of the power factor is
calculated. In the meter's internal representation of power factor, a positive power factor corresponds to a
capacitive load and a negative power factor corresponds to an inductive load. The sign of the internal
representation of power factor is determined by whether the current leads or lags voltage, which is
determined in the background process. Therefore, the internal representation of power factor is calculated
by the following formula:
PAct
,if capacitive load
P
Apparent
Internal Representation of Power Factor =
- PAct
,if inducitive load
PApparent
4.3
(6)
Background Process
The background process uses the interrupt as a trigger to collect voltage and current samples (seven
values in total). These samples are used to calculate intermediate results. Because 16-bit voltage samples
are used, the voltage samples are further processed and accumulated in dedicated 48-bit registers. In
contrast, since 24-bit current samples are used, the current samples are processed and accumulated in
dedicated 64-bit registers. Per-phase active power and reactive power are also accumulated in 64-bit
registers.
The background function deals mainly with timing critical events in software. After sufficient samples
(approximately one second's worth) have been accumulated, then the foreground function is triggered to
calculate the final values of VRMS, IRMS, active, reactive, and apparent powers, active, reactive, and
apparent energy, frequency, and power factor. The background process is also wholly responsible for the
calculation of energy proportional pulses, frequency (in samples/cycle), and determining current lead and
lag conditions. Figure 8 shows the flow diagram of the background process.

The resulting instantaneous voltage and current samples are used to generate the following intermediate
results:

respectively.
Accumulated energy samples to calculate active energies.
Accumulated energy samples using current and 90 phase shifted voltage to calculate reactive
energies.
These accumulated values are processed by the foreground process.
4.3.2
Phase Compensation
When a current transformer (CT) is used as a sensor, it introduces additional phase shift on the current
signals. Also, the voltage and current input circuit's passive components may introduce additional phase
shift. The relative phase shift between voltage and current samples must be compensated to ensure
accurate measurements. The converters have programmable delay registers (24PREx) that can be
applied to a particular channel. This built-in feature (PRELOAD) is used to provide the phase
compensation required. Figure 9 shows the use of PRELOAD to delay sampling on a particular channel.

Electric shock is possible when connecting the board to live wires. The board
should be handed with care by a professional.
For safety, use of isolated test equipment with overvoltage and overcurrent
protection is highly recommended.

AC voltage or currents can be applied to the board for testing purposes at these points:
Pad LINE1 corresponds to the line connection for phase A.
Pad LINE2 corresponds to the line connection for phase B.
Pad LINE3 corresponds to the line connection for phase C.
Pad Neutral corresponds to the Neutral voltage.
The voltage between any of the three line connections to the neutral connection can be up to 230 V ac
at 50/60 Hz.
I1+ and I1- are the current inputs after the sensors for phase A. When a current sensor is used, make
sure that the voltage across I1+ and I1- does not exceed 930 mV. THIS IS CURRENTLY
CONNECTED TO A CT ON THE EVM.
I2+ and I2- are the current inputs after the sensors for phase B. When a current sensor is used, make
sure that the voltage across I2+ and I2- does not exceed 930 mV. THIS IS CURRENTLY
CONNECTED TO A CT ON THE EVM.
I3+ and I3- are the current inputs after the sensors for phase C. When a current sensor is used, make
sure that the voltage across I3+ and I3- does not exceed 930 mV. THIS IS CURRENTLY
CONNECTED TO A CT ON THE EVM.
IN+ and IN- are the current inputs after the sensors for the neutral current. When a current sensor is
used, make sure that the voltage across IN+ and IN- does not exceed 930 mV. THIS IS CURRENTLY
NOT CONNECTED TO THE EVM.
Figure 14 and Figure 15 show the various connections that need to be made to the test setup for proper
functionality of the EVM.
When a test ac source needs to be connected, the connections must be made according to the EVM
design. Figure 14 shows the connections from the top view. VA+ , VB+, and VC+ corresponds to the line

6.3.3
Calibration
Calibration is key to any meter's performance, and it is absolutely necessary for every meter to go through
this process. Initially, every meter exhibits different accuracies due to silicon-to-silicon differences, sensor
accuracies, and other passive tolerances. To nullify the effects of these differences, every meter must be
calibrated. For calibration to be performed accurately, an accurate ac test source and a reference meter
must be available. The source should be able to generate any desired voltage, current, and phase shift
(between V and I). To calculate errors in measurement, the reference meter acts as an interface between
the source and the meter that is being calibrated. This section describes a simple and effective method of
calibration of this 3-phase EVM.
The GUI that is used for viewing results can also be used to calibrate the EVM. During calibration,
parameters called calibration factors are modified in software to give least error in measurement. For this
meter, there are four main calibration factors for each phase: voltage scaling factor, current scaling factor,
power scaling factor, and the phase compensation factor. The voltage, current, and power scaling factors
translate measured quantities in metrology software to real-world values represented in volts, amps, and
watts, respectively. The phase compensation factor is used to compensate any phase shifts introduced by
the current sensors and other passives.
When the meter software is flashed with the code (available in the zip file), default calibration factors are
loaded into these calibration factors (see items 28 to 42 in Section 4.4 for the macro definitions). These
values will be modified via the GUI during calibration. The calibration factors are stored in INFO_MEM,
and therefore, would remain the same if the meter is restarted. However, if code is re-flashed during
debug, the calibration factors will be replaced and the meter must be recalibrated. One way to save the
calibration values is by clicking on the "Meter calibration factors" button shown in Figure 24. The meter
calibration factors window displays the latest values and this could be used to directly replace the macro
definition of these factors in the source code.

Gain Calibration
Usually gain correction for voltage and current can be done simultaneously for all phases. However,
energy accuracy (%) from the reference meter for each individual phase is needed for gain correction for
active power. Also, when performing active power calibration for any given phase, the other two phases
must be turned off. Typically, switching off only the currents is good enough to disable a phase.
6.3.3.1.1
www.ti.com
4. Calculate the correction values for each voltage and current. The correction values that need to be
entered for the voltage and current fields are calculated by:
valueobserved
Correction(%) =
1 *100
valuedesired
(8)
Where valueobserved is the value measured by the TI meter, and valuedesired is the calibration point
configured in the ac test source.
5. After calculating Correction(%) for all voltages and currents, input these values as is () for the fields
Voltage and Current (low) for the corresponding phases.
6. Click Update meter and the observed values for the voltages and currents on the GUI settle to the
desired voltages and currents.
6.3.3.1.2
Note that this example is for one phase. Repeat these steps for other phases.
After performing gain correction for voltage and current, gain correction for active power must be done.
Gain correction for active power is different from voltage and current correction. Although, conceptually,
calculating Correction(%) using Step 4 with Active power readings (displayed on the ac test source) can
be done, it is not the most accurate method and should be avoided.
The best option to find the Correction(%) is directly from the reference meter's measurement error of the
active power. This error is obtained by feeding energy pulses to the reference meter. This error must be
recorded for each phase individually with the other phases disabled.
To perform active power calibration:
1. Turn off the meter and connect the meter's energy pulse output to the reference meter. Configure the
reference meter to measure the active power error based on these pulse inputs.
2. Turn on the ac test source.
3. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 from Section 6.3.3.1.1 with the identical voltages, currents, and 0 phase shifts
that were used for the voltage and current gain calibration.
4. Disable the other phases that are not currently being calibrated by setting the current of these phases
to 0 A.
5. Obtain the % error in measurement from the reference meter. Note that this value may be negative.
6. Enter the error obtained in the above step into the Active (low) field under the corresponding phase in
the GUI window. This error is already the Correction(%) value and does not need to be calculated.
7. Click Update meter and the error values on the reference meter settle to a value close to zero.
6.3.3.2
Phase Correction
Note that this example is for a given phase. Repeat these steps for other phases.
After performing power gain correction, phase calibration must be performed. Similar to active power gain
calibration, to perform phase correction on one phase, the other phases must be disabled. To perform
phase correction calibration, perform the following steps:
1. If the ac test source has been turned OFF or reconfigured, perform steps 1-3 from the voltage and
current gain section using the identical voltages and currents used in that section.
2. Disable all other phases that are not currently being calibrated by setting the current of these phases to
0 A.
3. Modify only the phase-shift of the calibrated phase to a non-zero value; typically, +60 is chosen. The
reference meter will now display a different % error for active power measurement. Note that this value
may be negative.
4. If this error is not close to zero, or is unacceptable, perform phase correction by following these steps:
(a) Enter a value as an update for the Phase (Low) field for the phase that is being calibrated. Usually,
a small positive or negative integer should be entered to bring the error close to zero. Additionally,
for a phase shift greater than 0 (for example, +60), a positive (negative) error would require a
positive (negative) number as correction.

(b) Click Update meter and monitor the error values on the reference meter.
(c) If this measurement error (%) is not accurate enough, fine tune by incrementing or decrementing by
a value of 1 based on Step 4a and 4b. Note: When the error is very close to zero, changing the
fine-tuning value by 1 can result in the error oscillating on either side of zero. Select the value that
has the smallest absolute error.
(d) Change the phase to -60 and check if this error is still acceptable. Ideally, errors should be
symmetric for same phase shift on lag and lead conditions.
After performing phase correction, calibration is complete for one phase. Note that the gain calibration
and phase calibration are completed in sequence for each phase before moving on to other
phases. These two procedures must be repeated for each phase, unlike voltage and current
calibration.
This completes calibration of voltage, current, and power for all three phases. View the new calibration
factors by clicking the Meter Calibration factors button of the GUI metering results window (see Figure 24).

General Texas Instruments High Voltage Evaluation (TI HV EVM) User Safety Guidelines
WARNING
Always follow TI's setup and application instructions, including use of all interface components within their
recommended electrical rated voltage and power limits. Always use electrical safety precautions to help
ensure your personal safety and those working around you. Contact TI's Product Information Center
http://support/ti./com for further information.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in personal injury, property damage, or
death due to electrical shock and burn hazards.
The term TI HV EVM refers to an electronic device typically provided as an open-framed unenclosed
printed circuit board assembly. It is intended strictly for use in development laboratory environments,
solely for qualified professional users having training, expertise, and knowledge of electrical
safety risks in development and application of high voltage electrical circuits. Any other use
and/or application are strictly prohibited by Texas Instruments. If you are not suitably qualified, you
should immediately stop from further use of the HV EVM.
1. Work Area Safety
(a) Keep work area clean and orderly.
(b) Qualified observer(s) must be present anytime circuits are energized.
(c) Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the TI HV EVM and its interface
electronics are energized, indicating operation of accessible high voltages may be present, for the
purpose of protecting inadvertent access.
(d) All interface circuits, power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments, meters, scopes and other
related apparatus used in a development environment exceeding 50Vrms/75VDC must be
electrically located within a protected Emergency Power Off EPO protected power strip.
(e) Use stable and nonconductive work surface.
(f) Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No
freehand testing whenever possible.
2. Electrical Safety
As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire EVM
may have fully accessible and active high voltages.
(a) De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs and electrical loads before performing any
electrical or other diagnostic measurements. Revalidate that TI HV EVM power has been safely deenergized.
(b) With the EVM confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit configurations,
wiring, measurement equipment connection, and other application needs, while still assuming the
EVM circuit and measuring instruments are electrically live.
(c) After EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended.
WARNING: WHILE THE EVM IS ENERGIZED, NEVER TOUCH THE EVM OR ITS ELECTRICAL
CIRCUITS AS THEY COULD BE AT HIGH VOLTAGES CAPABLE OF CAUSING ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD.
3. Personal Safety
(a) Wear personal protective equipment (for example, latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields)
or protect the EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks to protect from accidental
touch.
Limitation for safe use:
EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as components) are sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TIs terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TIs goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or enhanced plastic are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
