FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Wide Range I

C Power,
Charge and Energy Monitor
The LT C
®
2946 is a rail-to-rail system monitor that measures
current, voltage, power, charge and energy. It features an
operating range of 2.7V to 100V and includes a shunt regu
-
lator for supplies above 100V. The current measurement
common mode range of 0V to 100V is independent of the
input supply. A 12-bit ADC measures load current, input
voltage and an auxiliary external voltage. Load current and
internally calculated power are integrated over an external
clock or crystal or internal oscillator time base for charge
and energy. An accurate time base allows the LTC2946
to provide measurement accuracy of better than ±0.6%
for charge and ±1% for power and energy. Minimum and
maximum values are stored and an overrange alert with
programmable thresholds minimizes the need for software
polling. Data is reported via a standard I
2
C interface.
The LTC2946 I
2
C interface includes separate data input
and output pins for use with standard or opto-isolated I
2
C
connections. The LTC2946-1 has an inverted data output
for use with inverting opto-isolator configurations.
