BATTERY BACKUP
Two batteries(lithium cells) employed
One specially to drive the push button
(while power cuts to take readings)

Another to exclusively provide Vdd to the chip

(so that the chip remains powered during power cuts from utility) (tampering prevented)

COMPARISON: GENERAL VIEW

C

TI-MSP430
Small silicon footprint 51 instructions RISC architecture FLL clock system Wake-up from stand-by mode in <6us Outputs energy and other electrical parameters Overheads involved in interrupt handling 8-bit result in 3 clock cycles

ARM CORTEX-M0
Smaller silicon footprint as compared to msp430 56 instructions based on thumb2 PLL clock system Wakes up almost instantaneously Outputs energy, electrical parameters and total harmonic distortion zero jitter interrupt handling 8-bit result in 1 clock cycle
