The Application Solution of Wuhan Core Source Semiconductor CW32L083 in Intelligent Gas Meters
Under the comprehensive promotion of policy guidance and support, market demand, and technological development, the smart meter market has developed rapidly. At present, the meter market in China is still in a situation where traditional mechanical meters and smart meters coexist, and the development level of the four major smart meters for water, electricity, gas, and heat is also different. In the wave of intelligent meters, components are undoubtedly a crucial part.
The Application and Development Process of MCU in the Meter Industry
The meter industry, as a proprietary application industry, combines some characteristics of both the consumer and industrial industries. It not only has a broad market prospect in the consumer industry, but also has higher requirements for the stability and reliability of MCU products in the industrial industry. At the same time, the intelligent meter industry is also an application scenario with a high proportion of networking, and has higher requirements for the functionality, performance, reliability, and low power consumption of MCU products.
Compared to industries such as wearables, smart homes, and consumer electronics, the meter industry requires continuous and stable operation of MCU 24/7, 365 days, and requires long-term operation for 10-16 years. This has high requirements for the reliability and stability of MCU, which can also be understood as the meter industry has a high technical threshold.
The algorithm and functions of gas meter products are relatively complex compared to water meters, and there are certain requirements for the upgrade function of meter products. In addition to the low power consumption characteristics of MCU products, there is also a large storage space for OTA upgrade backup processing. At the same time, in addition to mechanical digital display, intelligent gas meters also require LCD segment code screen display, which requires MCU to support segment code screen driver modules. Therefore, gas meters have higher requirements for MCU products.
The application of Wuhan Core Source Semiconductor MCU chips in the field of intelligent gas meters has also seen rapid development and has been applied in related product solutions. The product introduced today is the application solution of Wuhan Core Source Semiconductor CW32L083 in intelligent gas meters.
