AC arc fault detection with edge AI for circuit breakers reference design

TIDA-010971

Design files

Overview

This reference design features an analog front end that enables AC arc fault detection. An AI model runs on an embedded microcontroller. Multiple sensing channels evaluate AI arc fault detection through current filters, voltage sensing, and log detection for high frequency arc energy. A PCB Rogowski current sensor feeds the signal chain. The board pairs with compatible LaunchPad™ like MSPM0G5187-LP.

Features
  • Built in PCB Rogowski
  • LaunchPad™ Development Kit connection for MSPM0G5187 with AI accelerator
  • Hybrid integrator with > 10MHz Bandwidth
  • LOG300 with 40MHz bandwidth
  • Auto labeling circuitry for easy data collection
