50mAh

• Coin Cell Battery - CR2032 (3V, 225mAh) : is used when the main power is off
• Trickle charge Battery - VL2330 (3V, 50mAh) : is a rechargeable battery that can be
used for IrDA and to show on LCD the parameters when there isn’t main power pushing
the button

Current Sensing

CT1: Current Transformer to do the

current sensing on the Phase

SHUNT: current sensing on the Neutral

CT2: The second current transformer is

not available on the evaluation
board (but ready to) and it’s used
as anti-tamper

PC GUI
 PC-GUI used for setting real date and time
 PC-GUI for testing protocol IEC 62056-21 mode – C using SCI (Serial Communication
Interface) of STM8L device (TDO, RDI) without IrDA ENDEC of STM8
 STM8L has inbuilt IrDA interface
IrDA can be disabled by a single bit only, so STM8L can work in SCI mode as well as IrDA
mode
