PAC194x/5x 16-bit Power Monitor with Alerts
Microchip's PAC194x/5x monitor reports on bus voltage and sense voltage 16-bits of resolution
Microchip 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.
