Description
The purpose of the demonstration board is to 
provide an evaluation platform for the STPMC1 
and STPMS2L devices, but it can also be used as 
a starting point to design a Class 1 meter for 2 to 
4-wire power line systems using delta or wye 
service.
The STPMC1 is a metering ASSP implemented 
through an advanced 0.35 µm BCD6 technology.
The STPMS2L is an ASSP designed as a building 
block for single or multi-phase energy meters.
The STEVAL-IPE010V2 board is the motherboard 
based on the STPMC1 and works in conjunction 
with up to 5 STEVAL-IPE014V1 daughterboards 
(to be ordered separately), each with an 
STPMS2L mounted to sense the voltage and 
current of each phase.
Each phase is monitored by an independent 
daughterboard, in which an autonomous power 
supply is provided to the board itself and, once it 
is connected, also to the motherboard.
On this board, the STPMS2L device senses the 
phase current through a CT or a shunt sensor, 
and the phase voltage through a voltage divider.
The presence of dedicated networks greatly 
reduces the sampling (aliasing) noise and the 
crosstalk noise between voltage and current 
channels, increasing meter precision. The 
STPMS2L produces a sigma-delta stream, sent 
together with the supply voltage, to the STPMC1 
through a card edge connector.
The STEVAL-IPE010V2 motherboard receives 
the sigma-delta streams from the daughterboards 
which are further elaborated by the STPMC1. 
This device, from a 4.194 MHz crystal oscillator, 
provides a common clock with programmable 
frequency to all the daughterboards.
The STEVAL-IPE010V2 motherboard, through a 
10-pin flat cable connector, can be interfaced to a 
microprocessor board to implement advanced 
metering features (multi-tariff, data management 
and storage, communication, etc). It also has 
stepper motor connectors for simple energy meter 
implementation.
