Teridian Semiconductor has made a breakthrough in residential metering technology with the introduction of the 71M6523 Three-Phase Residential Metering System-On-Chip. Throughout the world, three-phase residential metering is becoming increasingly common, particularly to address higher residential energy demand in developing economies. This single-chip 71M6523 delivers unprecedented anti-tamper neutral current measurement accuracy of 0.4%, allowing the detection of smaller amounts of energy theft, and surpassing alternative solutions by a factor of two. The company’s single converter technology and system-on-chip approach also eliminate the need to isolate individual phases using multiple regulators and isolation devices, speeding development time, improving meter reliability and performance and reducing overall system cost by as much as 40%.
