Product Brief
71M6403
Electronic Trip Unit
The Teridian 71M6403 is an electronic trip unit (ETU) system-on-chip device for air
circuit breakers (ACB), molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) and other types of intelligent
switchgear. Utilizing Teridian’s patented Single Converter Technology™, the 71M6403
incorporates a 22-bit delta-sigma ADC, 7 current sensor inputs, digital temperature
compensation, precision voltage reference, 32-bit programmable computation engine,
timers, Real Time Clock (RTC), two UARTs and an single cycle execution 8-bit MCU.
Armed with an internal digital di/dt integrator, this programmable device supports either
current transformer (CT) or Rogowski-Coils for any or all input channels and provides
instantaneous and delayed over current, earth-leakage, ground-fault and arc fault
protection functions. Furthermore, the device may be configured to support any number of
conventional or custom protection algorithms that fit specific load configurations in the field.
The 71M6403 includes a 5V LCD charge pump as well as 3V LCD support with up to 168
pixels display and up to 22 DIO pins. Easy conversion to ROM offers unprecedented cost
structure for high volume MCCB applications.
A complete suite of in-circuit emulator (ICE) and development tools, a powerful real-
time signal monitoring tool, programming libraries and reference designs enable rapid
development of advanced switchgear.
