PAC194x/5x 16-bit Power Monitor with Alerts

Microchip's PAC194x/5x monitor reports on bus voltage and sense voltage 16-bits of resolution

Image of Microchip Technology's PAC194x/5x 16-bit Power Monitor with AlertsMicrochip Technology's PAC194x/5x is a power and energy monitor that reports on bus voltage and sense voltage 16-bits of resolution. Power is reported as a simultaneous product of two 16-bit independent bus and sense voltages. All registers are accessible through I2C/SMBus, including an eight sample average for reading stability. The device can detect over/undervoltage, over/undercurrent, and overpower against user-programmed limits for each channel and generate ALERT outputs.

Features
  • High-side/low-side current monitor
    • 100 mV full-scale range (configurable for 50 mV)
    • 16-bit resolution
    • External sense resistor sets the full-scale current range
    • Very low input current simplifies routing
  • Voltage monitor with wide VBUS range
  • Real-time auto-calibration of offset error for voltage and current
  • 1% power measurement accuracy over a wide dynamic range
    • On-chip accumulation of 30-bit power results for energy measurement
    • User-programmable sampling rates of 8, 64, 256, and 1024
    • 5120 SPS for burst mode
  • 2.7 to 5.5 supply operation
    • 1.62 V to 5.5 V capable I2C/SMBus and digital I/O
    • SMBus 3.1 and I2C fast mode plus, 1 Mbps
    • High-speed mode (3.4 Mbps)
  • Alert on over/undervoltage and current or overpower conditions
    • Two independent alert/GPIO pins
    • Coulomb counting: when selected, the accumulator accumulates VSENSE values
