The BL15721A interface circuit adjusts the different potentials between a slave system and the Meter-Bus master. The connection to the bus is polarity independent and supports full galvanic slave isolation with optocouplers. The receiver has dynamic level recognition, and the transmitter has a programmable current sink. The circuit is supplied by the master via the bus. Therefore, this circuit offers no additional load for the slave battery. The BL15721A integrates a power-fail function. And a 3.3V voltage regulator, with power reserve for a delayed switch off at bus fault, is integrated.

It is dependent on the distance of Master to Slave, which affects the voltage drop on the wire. To make the receiver independent, a dynamic reference level on the SC pin is used for the voltage comparator TC3 (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Data Transmission, Master to Slave A capacitor CSC at pin SC is charged by a current ISCcharge and is discharged with a current ISCdischarge where: There must be sufficient time to recharge the capacitor CSC. The input level detector TC3 detects voltage modulations from the master, and switches the inverted output TXI and the non-inverted output TX. Data Transmission, Slave to Master The device uses current modulation to transmit information from the slave to the master while the bus voltage remains constant. The current source CS3 modulates the bus current and the master detects the modulation. The constant current source CS3 is controlled by the inverted input RXI or the non-inverted input RX. The current source CS3 can be programmed by an external resistor RRIS. The modulation supply current IMS flows in addition to the current source CS3 during the modulation time. Because the BL15721A is configured for half-duplex only, the current modulation from RX or RXI is repeated concurrently as ECHO on the outputs TX and TXI. If the slave, as well as the master, is trying to send information via the lines, the added signals appear on the outputs TX and TXI, which indicates the data collision to the slave. The bus topology requires a constant current consumption by each connected slave. http://www.belling.com.cn - Page 3 of 11 - Ver1.1 BL15721A Figure 2. Data Transmission, Slave to Master To calculate the value of the programming resistor RRIS, use the formula shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Calculate Programming Resistor RRIS Slave Supply, 3.3 V The BL15721A has an internal 3.3V voltage regulator. The output power of this voltage regulator is supplied by the storage capacitor CSTC at pin STC. The storage capacitor CSTC at pin STC is charged with constant current ISTC_use from the current source CS1. The maximum capacitor voltage is limited to REF1. The charge current ISTC has to be defined by an external resistor at pin RIDD. The adjustment resistor RRIDD can be calculated using below Equation. Where, ISTC = current from current source CS1 ISTC_use = charge current for support capacitor ICI = internal current VRIDD = voltage on pin RIDD http://www.belling.com.cn - Page 4 of 11 - Ver1.1 BL15721A RRIDD = value of adjustment resistor The voltage level of the storage capacitor CSTC is monitored with comparator TC1. Once the voltage VSTC reaches VVDD_on, the switch SVDD connects the stabilized voltage VVDD to pin VDD. VDD is turned off if the voltage VSTC drops below the VVDD_off level. Voltage variations on the capacitor CSTC create bus current changes (see Figure 4). Figure 4. Single Mode Bus Load At a bus fault the shut down time of VDD (toff) in which data storage can be performed depends on the system current IVDD and the value of capacitor CSTC. See Figure 5, which shows a correlation between the shutdown of the bus voltage VBUS and VDD_off and toff for dimensioning the capacitor. The output VS is meant for slave systems that are driven by the bus energy, as well as from a battery should the bus line voltage fail. The switching of VS is synchronized with VDD and is controlled by the comparator TC1. An external transistor at the output VS allows switching from the Meter-Bus remote supply to battery.

The pin VB to ground (GND) delivers the bus voltage VVB less the voltage drop over the rectifier BR. The voltage comparator TC2 monitors the bus voltage. If the voltage VVB > VSTC + 0.8 V, then the output PF = 1. The output level PF = 0 (power fail) provides a warning of a critical voltage drop to the microcontroller to save the data immediately.
