MCHPEMC1702-1-KP-TR
Overview
The EMC1702-1-KP-TR is a high-side current and power monitor with integrated temperature sensing capabilities, operating over a wide 3V to 24V range. It provides a compact solution for monitoring bus voltage and sense resistor voltage drops, reporting data over an SMBus/I2C compatible interface. The device features a hardware-set peak detector to capture transient current events that software polling might miss.
Why Choose This Part
This IC offers high integration by combining current sensing, voltage monitoring, and temperature measurement into a single 4mm x 4mm QFN package. It maintains 1 percent accuracy across its operating range and includes a dedicated hardware peak detector for capturing fast transients without high CPU overhead.
Applications
Getting Started
Evaluation can be performed using Microchip thermal management development tools or by interfacing the 12-pin QFN to an MCU via the SMBus/I2C pins. Engineers should select a shunt resistor sized for the expected current range to maximize the resolution of the internal ADC. Ensure the external diode for temperature sensing is placed near the primary heat source for accurate thermal reporting.
