78M6613 PSU Firmware Quick Start Guide
UG_6612_113
1 Introduction
The 78M6613 PSU Firmware is a turnkey energy measurement solution optimized for use in AC power
supply units (PSUs). At the sensor interface, the 78M6613 with PSU Firmware supports one voltage
sense input one current sense input, and an optional input for an external thermistor voltage
measurement. At the host interface, ready-to-use data is available over a low baud-rate serial interface
for minimal cost of data isolation. Other key attributes of the PSU solution for the 78M6613 include:
•
Integrated XY capacitors compensation algorithms and calibration techniques unique to PSUs for
measuring after the EMI filter (before bridge). Critical for a manufacturable solution and precision
accuracy over entire load range.
•
Accumulation intervals based on number of AC-cycles with a minimum of 4 AC Cycles for real-time
feedback (15 Hz refresh rate).
•
Dual-mode serial interface: 1-wire Auto-Reporting interface mode and 2-wire Command Response
interface mode.
•
Low-latency alarms for SAG and AC dropout detection.
Fully functional demo code can be evaluated in an Evaluation Kit (EVK) and used as is in most
applications. It can also serve as starting base for customization and adaptation to different needs with an
optional Software Development Kit (SDK).

What’s included with an SDK?
The SDK contains all the required elements for a variety of usages.
For the user who would like to evaluate the application in their own hardware, pre-built image files are
available. Loading these image files into a 78M6613 will allow running the application as provided. A
demonstration PC-based graphical user interface (GUI) is also provided and may be used to send
configuration commands to and read out measurement data from the PSU application.
Users who would like to develop their own applications have access to application level source code to
use as a baseline. Energy measurement functions are provided in object code format and with a
documented application programming interface (API). An SDK User Guide describes how to use
development tools to modify the project code. Post processing tools, such as CRC insertion also included
in the SDK package.

78M6613 PSU Firmware Quick Start Guide
Compiler and Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Maxim recommends using the PK51 Professional Developer’s Kit by Keil™ (www.keil.com), containing
the µVision 4 Integrated Development Environment (IDE), complete with 8051 assembler, editor, C
compiler, linker, and locator. The Demo Code shipped with the Demo Kits for Maxim AC Power
Monitoring ICs was written using this tool. Keil offers the best support for the memory model of the 80515
core used in the 78M6613 ICs. It is possible to use alternative compilers, but the code for these is not
supported by Maxim.
While all Demo Code is written using the standard CA51 tool by Keil, significant improvements in memory
usage can be made by using the PK51 “Professional Developer’s Kit” by Keil. The PK51 contains the
LX51 advanced linker that can reduce code size using special optimization techniques.
1.3.3
In-Circuit Emulator (ICE)
The Signum Systems ADM-51 (www.signum.com) is compatible with the Keil symbolic output format and
supports the 78M6613. It is useful to perform the following tasks:
•
Code emulation with breakpoints, watch windows, etc., with support of source code symbols
•
Memory monitoring and manipulation (SFRs, XRAM, I/O RAM)
•
Flash erase and code loading into flash memory of the 78M6613
Maxim supplies the ADM-51 to customers at a preferred price (P/N DB6612-ADM51) along with an
isolated USB cable.

TFP2 Flash Programmer
The Signum ADM-51 can serve as a programmer for prototyping and small quantities. For programming
production quantities, Maxim offers the TFP2 Flash Programming Module (P/N 80515-FPBM-TFP2),
which is a stand-alone programmer that can be operated manually or in an ATE environment.
The TFP2 offers the following features:
•
Stand-alone or PC-controlled programming
•
Variable flash memory size (selectable to match target device’s memory size
•
LEDs and signal outputs for PASS and FAIL
•
Pushbutton and digital control inputs compatible with ATE
•
Can erase and re-program ICs overriding the SECURE bit set

2 Getting Started with the EVK
This section describes the necessary steps to get the pre-built application up and running. Note that some
of the steps are only required once when the setup is installed for the first time.
2.1
USB Driver Installation
The Evaluation Kit includes an isolated USB interface for serial communications with a PC. The FTDI
USB controller IC FT232R performs the USB functions. Refer to the 78M6613 PSU Evaluation Board
User Manual for information about USB Driver installation.
2.2
Connecting the Evaluation Board to the PC
DO NOT APPLY AC POWER TO THE BOARD YET!
Connect the 78M6613 Evaluation Board to a USB port of the PC using the provided USB cable. The
board is powered through this connection. If installed for the first time, the PC will prompt you to install a
USB-COM driver. Refer to the 78M6613 PSU Evaluation Board User Manual for more information.
2.3
Getting Ready to Measure AC Energy
Refer to the included Safety Precautions application note and 78M6613 PSU Evaluation
Board User Manual for detailed instructions if not already familiar with energy measurement,
and for trouble shooting tips.
2.4
Read Energy Measurement Data
The GUI application is now ready to be used to read energy measurement data and verify that the
hardware and software work properly. Refer to the 78M6613 Demo Application User Guide for more
information.
2.5
Calibration
All evaluation kits come pre-calibrated to a precision source.
Note: Calibration requires connection of a reference power supply and a reference load that are more
accurate than the desired calibrated accuracy. For more information, refer to the 78M661x Calibration
Procedure.

3 Getting Started with the SDK
3.1
Required Hardware and Software Development Tools
3.1.1
Running the PSU Application Software
The PSU Demo Application can be used without purchasing software development tools. The prebuilt
image file can be downloaded to the 78M6613 device via one of the following methods:
•
The UART interface using the 78M6613 Boot Loader (target 78M6613 device must already have Boot
Loader code)
•
The ICE interface using TFP2 Flash Programmer tool (sold separately)
•
The ICE interface using the ADM-51 Emulator (sold separately by Signum Systems Corporation)
3.1.2
Modifying the Application Code
The project application code can be modified and adapted using the Keil development tool suite for the
8051 processor and the ADM-51 Emulator.
a) Keil uVision4, version 9.0 and higher (http://www.keil.com/uvision)
b) ADM-51 Emulator (http://www.signum.com/Signum.htm)
3.2
Opening the Project with Keil uVision Tools
The project is loaded into the development tools by opening the file “6613_PSU_APP.uvproj” in the
\Application folder.
The project files are organized in folders, such as metrology, drivers, communication, etc, as can be seen
below.

78M6613 PSU Firmware Quick Start Guide
Rebuilding the Application
The application can be built with or without inclusion of the Boot Loader utility.
3.3.1
Without the Boot Loader
Building the application without the Boot Loader entails that software updates in the end product are
possible only by connecting the TFP2 or ADM-51 tools to the ICE interface port. However, 1 KB of flash
memory is freed when the Boot Loader is not included, which can be used by the application itself.
Select target PSU_NOBOOT from the drop down list (encircled in the figure above) and press F7 to build
the project. A successful run produces two output files in the \Application\Obj folder. The *.abs file is
most suited to be used by the emulator for debugging. The *.hex file is an image file best suited for the
TFP2 programmer, and contains no debugging information. The *.hex file is not suitable for the TFP2
unless the CHKSUM utility is fist used to process the file into the proper format. See the Flash
Programmer Model TFP2 User’s Manual on how to use the CHKSUM utility.
3.3.2
With the Boot Loader and CRC
The Boot Loader requires 1 KB of memory and insertion of CRC codes into the image file. Building an
application with the Boot Loader utility allows for subsequent firmware upgrades via the serial interface
(RS-232 or RS-485) connected to the host.
Select target PSU_BOOT from the drop-down list and press F7 to build the project. A successful run
produces two output files in the \Application\Obj folder. The *.abs file is most suited to be used by the
emulator for debugging. The *.hex file is an image file best suited for the TFP2 programmer, and
contains no debugging information.
It should be noted that the *.hex output file needs to be post-processed in order to calculate and insert the
CRC values. The Hex2CRCHex.exe application is included, in the tools folder of the SDK, to perform the
post-compiling CRC insertion into the hex file. The resulting hex file is renamed with ‘CRC’ added in the
name. For example: PSU_6613_v1_00_CRC.hex is generated by the Hex2CRCHex.exe tool using
input file PSU_6613_v1_00.hex. The project settings are such that this tool is invoked by default, as
shown here:

Downloading the *.abs File to the Target
The ADM-51 Emulator is used to download the *.abs file to the EVM board. Once downloaded, the
developer can run, stop and debug the application. Familiarity with the ADM-51 debugging tools is
assumed for the purpose of this document.
