4.4  71M6541D/F/G Using 71M6x01and Current Shunts 
Figure 36 shows a typical connection for one isolated and one non-isolated shunt sensor, using the 
71M6x01 Isolated Sensor Interface. This configuration implements a single-phase measurement with 
tamper-detection using the second current sensor. This configuration can also be used to create a split 
phase meter (e.g., ANSI Form 2S). For best performance, the IAP-IAN current sensor input is configured 
for differential mode (i.e., DIFFA_E = 1, I/O RAM 0x210C[4]). The outputs of the 71M6x01 Isolated Sensor 
Interface are routed through a pulse transformer, which is connected to the pins IBP-IBN. The IBP-IBN 
pins must be configured for remote sensor communication (i.e., RMT_E =1, I/O RAM 0x2709[3]). See 
Figure 3 for the AFE configuration corresponding to Figure 36.
