STPM33 Single-Phase Metering ICs

STMicroelectronics reveals smart-meter ICs for the low-energy age, ensuring most accurate billing

Image of STMicroelectronics' STPM33 Single-Phase Metering ICsSTMicroelectronics' STPM3x is an ASSP family designed for high accuracy measurement of power and energies in power line systems using the Rogowski coil, current transformer or shunt current sensors. The STPM3x provides instantaneous voltage and current waveforms and calculates RMS values of voltage and currents, active, reactive and apparent power and energies.

The STPM3x is a mixed-signal IC family consisting of an analog and a digital section. The analog section consists of up to two programmable gain low-noise low-offset amplifiers and up to four second order 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs, two bandgap voltage references with independent temperature compensation, a low drop voltage regulator and DC buffers. The digital section consists of digital filtering stage, a hardwired DSP, DFE to the input and a serial communication interface (UART or SPI). The STPM3x is fully configurable and allows a fast digital system calibration in a single point over the entire current dynamic range.
