Description

The PAC194X products are one, two, three and

four-channel energy monitors, with bus voltage

monitors and current sense amplifiers that feed

high-resolution ADCs. There are two versions of the

PAC194X: the PAC194X-1 devices are for high-side

current sensing and the PAC194X-2 devices are for

low-side current sensing or floating VBUS applications.

Digital circuitry performs power calculations and

energy accumulation. This enables energy monitoring

with integration periods up to one year or longer. Bus

voltage, sense resistor voltage and accumulated proportional

power are stored in registers for retrieval by

the system host or embedded controller. The PAC194X

devices have a set of digital comparators that allow the

user to detect over/undervoltage, over/undercurrent

and overpower against user programmed limits for

each channel and generate an ALERT when the

threshold is exceeded.

The sampling rate and energy integration period can be

controlled over SMBus or I2C. Active channel selection,

single-shot measurements and other controls are also

configurable by the SMBus or I2C. The PAC194X

device family uses real-time calibration to minimize the

offset error. No input filters are required for this device.
