[0024] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the AC sampling board of a new type of load management branch device mainly includes a DC-DC power supply circuit, a three-phase voltage sampling circuit, a three-phase current sampling circuit, a TC8302 AC sampling circuit, and a pin interface connected to the display and control board. The functions achieved are as follows: 1. AC sampling and metering function: The metering selects the TC8302+TC3006 solution to achieve voltage and current sampling, power and phase angle calculation, and electric energy accumulation functions. It realizes the storage of metering data and events, communicates with the main control through UART, and transmits data; it provides metering pulses for the table calibration of the platform body, including active pulses and reactive pulses; at the same time, it transmits the bottom code sampling data to the main control in real time through SPI for edge computing applications such as topology analysis, power quality analysis, and loop inspection. 2.

Human-computer interaction function: A passive buzzer is selected, mainly used for key prompts, alarms, etc. 3. Supercapacitor charge and discharge management: The whole machine uses a supercapacitor as a backup power supply. The supercapacitor is charged using a DC-DC buck and current-limiting scheme, and the discharge uses a DC-DC boost output scheme. The charging and discharging of the supercapacitor need to be controlled by the main control. Combining temperature sampling to implement a temperature control strategy, after the temperature is higher than the upper limit value, the supercapacitor charging is turned off to ensure the life of the supercapacitor. 4.

Watchdog monitoring function: The watchdog monitoring function is realized. The main control is responsible for feeding the dog. Once the main control chip crashes and the dog feeding stops, a reset signal will be output to the main control after 1.6s, improving the system reliability. In addition, it also has a voltage detection function. On the one hand, it detects the 3.3V power supply voltage of the main control. Once the voltage is lower than 2.93V, it will quickly reset the main control to prevent low-voltage operation or malfunction. On the other hand, it detects the main power supply V14 for AC power failure detection. Once the main power supply V14 loses power, an interrupt signal will be output to the main control, and the main control can recognize the power outage information. 3.
