Bits 47 to 0: ACC47 to ACC0
These bits report the total power accumulated by each channel. Send the UPDATE command before reading these reg-
isters. The power accumulators do not roll over. If any of the power accumulator overflows, the OVF bit in the CONTROL
command is set and remains set until the UPDATE command is sent.
Bits 15 to 4: V11 to V0
These bits report the last measured common-mode voltage for each channel. The LSB bit weighting is 3.9mV (16V full
scale/4096). The UPDATE command must be sent before reading the channel voltages. The host should wait 500µs after
sending the UPDATE command before reading the VOLTAGE commands.
Bits 7 to 3: ID4 to ID0
These bits report the device identification (ID). The ID is fixed at 05h.
Bits 2 to 0: REV2 to REV0
These bits report the device revision. The device revision is factory set.
Applications Information
Average Power Calculation Example
The average power can be derived in an external calculation as shown below if the current sense resistor value is known.
Power accumulator (48 bit) = 0001CEFBD314h (7767577364 decimal)
Accumulator counter (24 bit) = 0005DEh (1502 decimal)
Current-sense resistor = 10mΩ
Step 1
Calculate the unscaled average power by dividing the power accumulator value with the accumulator count value:
0001CEFBD314h/0005DEh = 4EE921h (5171489 decimal)
Step 2
Calculate the ratio of the Step 1 result to the calculated power full-scale value which is a 28-bit value:
5171489/2
28
= 0.019265
