MAX71617/MAX71637
Energy Measurement SoCs
● ARM Cortex-M3 Features
General Description
• 1MB Flash
The MAX71617 is a low-power, single-phase energy mea-
surement system-on-chip (SoC), and the MAX71637 is a
low-power polyphase energy measurement SoC. Based
on an ARM Cortex®-M3 core, the devices can run modern
operating systems that monitor and report energy usage
and implement communications stacks. In addition to the
main administrative core, the devices include a MAXQ30
CPU core to perform metering functions and a discrete
compute engine for the DSP related tasks necessary for
accurate energy monitoring and measurement, last cycle
analysis, and FFT functions to compute the frequency
spectra of the selected channel.
