MSP430F6747A: Can I use EMDC for higher input frequencies and an AC offset?

Colombo Carlo

Part Number: MSP430F6747A

Hi everybody, 

I would like to use  http://www.ti.com/tool/download/MSP430-ENERGY-MEASUREMENT

now  about  if this toolkit:

  1. Can perform for higher frequencies, such as 5kHz, which is similar to 50/60Hz?
  2. Does it supports an AC signal which has an offset, for example an AC wave 100 ~ 300VAC which rides on 200VAC (which has no 0 point crossing).

best regards

Carlo

    Hi Carlo,

    Thanks for posting your question on E2E and your interest in using the Energy Measurement Design Center (EMDC).

    Unfortunately, no. EMDC supports input frequencies between 40 and 70 Hz. By 5 kHz, are you meaning the 100th harmonic (50 x 100 = 5000 Hz)? EMDC does not currently support harmonic measurements, but we're currently evaluating that feasibility.

    I can't say that I've ever heard of this type of offset. I've heard of DC offset but not AC offset. EMDC does include a timeout that triggers the calculations to occur every 2 Hz if no zero crossings are detected. However, without zero-crossings, other results such as frequency will not work correctly.

    Regards,

    James
