Isolated Shunt Current Measurement with Standalone Digital Filters Reference Design

Description

This reference design implements a class 0.5 three phase energy measurement system with isolated shunt sensors by using isolated modulators and independent digital filters: enabling a wider choice of host microcontrollers (MCU) as integrated sync filters are no longer required. In this design: currents sensed by the isolated modulators and phase voltages sensed by the host microcontroller are synchronized; supporting the addition of advanced metrology algorithms using the Simplelink™ ARM Cortex M4 host MCU. The design is immune from magnetic tamper attacks through the use of current sensors and power supplies that do not use any transformers or other magnetic components.   This subsystem design is tested and includes hardware.
