System Description www.ti.com

1 System DescriptionThis reference design for a rotational flow meter is built using the Extended Scan IF (ESI) ofMSP430FR6989, two LC sensors, and the EVM EVM430-FR6989.

The whole EVM can be divided into three boards: the main board, sensor board, and motor board. Themain board of the EVM consists of MSP430FR6989, a sensor board connector, an RF module socket, anda debugger circuit. The sensor board is constructed with two LC sensors. The motor board drives a rotordisc to emulate water flow, which moves the rotating disc in a flow meter.

This system is an ultra-low power design using the latest TI MCU MSP430FR6989 with FRAM to store theprogramming code. The MSP430FR6989 has a built-in module of ESI. The system block diagram showsall the elements that the EVM has and the potential add-on modules, like the RF sub-system or theNFC/RFID module, that can be connected to the EVM (Figure 2).

The main board of EVM consists of MSP430FR6989, a socket for add-on module, USB connection, and asensor board connector. The bottom side of the main board features an onboard eZ-FET lite connected tothe MCU. Program and debug the MCU firmware by directly connecting the board with a USB cable toPC. The IDE is TI's Code Composer Studio™. The debugging circuit also consists of an HID connection,which can receive the command of a dedicated PC GUI for this EVM.

2 Design Features

2.1 Ultra-Low Power DesignMSP430FR6989 is an ultra-low power MCU that has a FRAM of up to 128 KB for code and data.Peripherals include ESI, RTC, ADC12, CRC, AES256, MPY32, eUSCI for communication, Comp_E fortouch key module, an LCD, and six timers.

When operating this design, only the ESI, a timer, and the LCD continuously work with an oscillationcrystal of 32,768 Hz. The CPU and other peripherals are off, in low power mode 3 (LPM3). The wholesystem uses around 7 µA for a sample rate of 500 Hz with two LC sensors without an LCD.

2.2 Contactless Rotation DetectionWhen gas or water flows through the meter, the rotating plate inside the meter rotates according to theflow rate. The sensors can detect the number of the plate's rotations without direct contact, which preventscorrosion and safety issues.

2.3 Two-LC Sensor BoardAn LC sensor consists of an inductor and a capacitor to form a tank oscillator. This sensor is the provensolution of low power consumption and reliable for the long-term, continuous operation of flow meters.With a very short pulse within 1 µs, The sensor starts oscillating in its resonant frequency. The inductorthen generates a magnetic field. Once the metal part of the rotating plate is cutting the magnetic field, aneddy current is formed in the metal, which will absorb the magnetic energy from the inductor. Theamplitude of the oscillating signal will be reduced. The comparator and the DAC of the ESI can detect thischange of signal to detect the position of the rotating plate and count the number of rotations.

Two LC sensors are used for the detection of both clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation. A flow meter, likea water meter, has a bounce back of water flow when the tap is closed, making the rotor disc turnbackwards and forwards repeatedly before the flow rate becomes zero. To eliminate the counting error ofa single sensor, two sensors can count the number of rotations for both directions and give a correctresult.

In Figure 1, a logic low is given out when the sensor is detecting the metal part and a logic high whenlocated in the non-metal part. Two sensors are located 90 degrees apart. In this setting, the signal of onesensor will always be 90 degrees out of phase to the other sensor, giving out four states of the twosensors: 00, 01, 11, and 10. The sequence of these four states identify the rotating direction.

Design Features www.ti.com

2.4 Self-Calibration for Long-Term OperationDue to the temperature, humidity, aging components, and signal drifts, a continuous adjustment circuit isnecessary to ensure the system is within the range of reliable operation. The ESI has a duplicated circuitinside, which can be used for detecting the overall drift of the system. This circuit will only be activatedperiodically to save power consumption. Once the drift is found, the circuit adjusts the DAC values of thecontinuously operating part of the ESI to align it to the signal position of maximum reliability.

2.5 Full Platform Design with Add-On Module Socket and Flow Emulation by a MotorBoardThe motor board provides a tool to emulate the rotating plate driven by the flow of gas or water. Adjust therotating speed either manually or by the main board through the I2C link. The socket connects withvarious communication ports, SPI, UART, and the I/O of the MCU. Some existing TI RF modules candirectly plug into this socket to add on more features to the EVM. Engineers can also design their ownmodules, like NFC/RFID, valve control, and so on, and test it with the system without reconfiguring thewhole board.

The sensor board is standalone. Engineers can design their own customized sensor board and plug intothe main board for testing.

2.6 Built-In Debugging CircuitThe built-in debugging circuit facilitates the system setup without too many external connections ofdebugging tools. The bottom side of the main board has an onboard eZ-FET lite connected to the MCU.Engineers can program and debug the MCU firmware by directly connecting the board with a USB cableto the PC. The IDE is TI's Code Composer Studio™. The debugging circuit also has an HID connection,which can receive the command of a dedicated PC GUI for this EVM.

Circuit Design www.ti.com

The core part of the hardware for flow measurement is the connection of the MCU's ESI to the sensorboard. A 470-nF capacitor connecting to ESICOM stabilizes the voltage of Vcc / 2. The ESI is a self-contained module inside the MCU.

For a low-power design, a 32,768-Hz crystal is used to continuously operate. To lower the powerconsumption further, turn on the LCD only when taking a reading is necessary. The rest of the MCUperipherals and its CPU are kept idle to save power. The CPU should only be active during a readingupdate and self-calibrating, which is done in a periodical manner lasting a few seconds to hoursdepending on the timer setting.

4.2 Sensor Board

Figure 4. Sensor Board

The sensor board is designed for LC sensors only. The sensors can be placed in different orientations.For the half-covered metal rotor disc, the two sensors are placed 90 degrees apart.

The selection of the inductor (L) and capacitor (C) is an important factor to affect the power consumption.Find a detailed selection guide as an application note for other types of sensors.

Software Description www.ti.com

5 Software Description

Figure 6. Software Flowchart

The software optimizes the system's power consumption. As shown in Figure 6, the software starts withinitialization, which includes port settings for low current leakage, LCD, ESI internal oscillator calibration,ESI registers, sampling rate, timing state machine (TSM) with auto-TSM calibration, optimal DAC level,and processing state machine (PSM) table setting. After initialization, the EVM can work well in low powermode with ESI and LCD as the only modules actively running. To avoid too many interrupts to wake upthe CPU, the system uses the Q6 flag in the PSM table. This flag is set only when the rotor disc isrotating.

The system is in LPM3 mode when the rotor disc does not rotate. To lower the power consumptionfurther, disable the LCD. Construct a key button to wake up the LCD when reading is necessary. For astable, long-running lifetime for the system, the design includes a runtime re-calibration to track the drift ofthe sensors and system. A timer with the variable constant Time_to_Recal is used to count the period forre-calibration.

6 Test Setup

Figure 7. System Setup

Before testing, the main board and motor board have to be programmed with firmware. Follow thisprocedure to test the current consumption of the reference design:1. Remove all jumpers of the main board except the jumper 3V3 and the ground jumper next to it.2. Disconnect the jumper 3V3 and connect it with a current meter.3. Set the rotor disc at 5 mm from the sensor board and switch off the motor.4. Power up the main board with a USB cable.5. Calibrate the TSM after powering up the main board. The LCD will show 0. wait until it turns to 8888,

then go to the next step.6. Switch on the motor and do not adjust the distance between the rotor and sensors. At this step, a

calibration for searching proper reference voltages of DAC is working. This calibration will last for onesecond.

7. Finish initial calibration. The LCD will keep counting the number of rotations.8. Turn off the LCD by pushing the black button.9. Read the current meter indicating the current consumption of the reference design without the LCD.

Figure 8. Test Results

Figure 8 shows the current consumption of the MCU with three LC sensors, not including all currentflowing into the LCD, power, and other modules on the board. The data is taken by measuring the currentflowing into the MCU connected to the two LC sensors with the LCD switched off, varying with differentESI sampling rates of the MSP430FR6989.

From the experimental data, the current consumption in the MSP430FR6989 takes 9 nA per sample withtwo LC sensors. Compared to the recorded data of 17 nA per sample from the MSP430FW42x systemwith the same type of LC sensors, the MSP430FR6989 has an improved power consumption.

The current consumption of the MSP430FR6989 running with ESI without sensors is also given. Theseresults show that the LC sensors take half of the total current consumption of the system. To furtherreduce the current consumption, use well-designed LC sensors.
