Microchip introduces new power monitoring IC with high-accuracy signal acquisition and power calculations
MCP39F501 power monitoring device offers complete, power monitoring functionality solutions for consumer, commercial and industrial products 29 January 2014 Bangalore India !"#$%#&' MC()* + Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced a new power monitoring IC, the MC),9-.01. This device is a highly integrated, single-phase power-monitoring IC designed for real-time measurement of C power. It includes two !"-#it delta-sigma $Cs, a %&-#it calculation engine, ''P()M and a flexi#le two-wire interface. designs with /ust 0.%1 error across a "0002% dynamic range. The MCP3*F+0% power monitoring IC allows designers to add power monitoring to their applications with minimal firmware development. Its performance ena#les designs capa#le of 0.%1 error over a wider dynamic range and superior light load measurement versus current competing solutions. In an effort to improve power management schemes in power-hungry applications, such as data centres, lighting and heating systems, industrial e4uipment and consumer appliances, power-system designers are driving the need for enhanced power monitoring solutions. This includes re4uirements for #etter accuracy across current loads, additional power calculations and event monitoring of various power conditions. The #uilt-in calculations include active, reactive and apparent power, (M- current and (M- voltage, line fre4uency, power factor as well as programma#le event notifications. The MCP3*F+0% device ena#les high-performance, cost-effective designs in the commercial 5e.g. server and networ6ing power supplies, power distri#ution units, lighting systems78 consumer 5e.g. appliance and smart plugs78 and industrial mar6ets 5e.g. power meters and industrial e4uipment7, among others. dditionally, the wide operating temperature range from -"09C to :%!+9C allows the ;<overnment regulations, technology innovations and end customer expectations are driving the need for #etter power monitoring solutions in consumer, commercial and industrial products,; said ,ryan =. >iddiard, mar6eting vice president of Microchip?s nalog and Interface Products $ivision.
