Bits 23 to 0: CNT23 to CNT0
These bits report the number of times the accumulators have been updated. Send the UPDATE command before read-
ing this register. By dividing the total accumulated power reported in each power accumulator by this count, the average
power can be determined. The accumulator counter does not roll over. If the accumulator counter overflows, the OVF bit
in the CONTROL command is set and remains set until the UPDATE command is sent.

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

Step 3
Multiply the result from Step 2 by the correction factor listed in Table 12 that matches the current-sense resistor value:
0.019265 x 160 = 3.08W
Kelvin Sense
For best performance, a Kelvin sense arrangement is recommended. See Figure 2. In a Kelvin sense arrangement,
the voltage sensing nodes across the sense element are placed so that they measure the true voltage drop across
the sense element and not any additional excess voltage drop that can occur in the copper PCB traces or the solder
mounting of the sense element. Routing the differential sense lines along the same path to the MAX34407 and keeping
the path short also improve the system performance.
Minimizing Trace Resistance
PCB trace resistance from the sense resistor (RSENSE) to the IN+ inputs can affect the MAX34407 power measurement
accuracy. Every 1 ohm of PCB trace resistance will add about 25µV of error. It is recommended to place the sense resistors
as close as possible to the MAX34407 and not to use minimum width PCB traces.
