"The new TDK 71M6513H is setting the pace for the rapidly evolving solid-state metering market".
With almost every house in the UK having an electricity meter and the dramatic increase of house building all across the UK resulting in a high demand for electricity meters, the new TDK 71M6513H, offers a cost effective and efficient SoC solution for electricity meters old and new.
TDK Semiconductor's power meter ICs offer the highest level of integration and flexibility in the industry and are the ideal choice for developing low cost, intelligent utility meters for residential and industrial applications.
The TDK 71M6513H brings together all of the company's expertise in to one compact SoC.
Using it's 16 years of experience, TDK has developed a patent pending single convertor technology and digital temperature compensation, allowing the 71M6513H to achieve ppm/C accuracy only previously possible with multiple chips and costly external components.
The 71M6513H also integrates a 21bit sigma-delta convertor, 32bit compute engine, RTC and precision voltage reference.
To top it off, it consumes less than 30mW in mission and 13uW in battery modes.
Papakyriacou sums up: "The 71M6513H can perform many standard and custom functions".
"It is not only powerful, flexible and compact, but extremely good value for money".
"I foresee the TDK 71M6513H to make a strong impact in the installation of electricity power meters across the UK".
