MCHPEMC1704-2-AP-TR
Overview
The EMC1704 is a sophisticated multi-channel temperature sensor and power monitor that integrates high-side current sensing with remote diode temperature measurement. It supports bi-directional current sensing across a bus voltage range of 3V to 24V and includes an independent hardware-set peak detector for instantaneous current monitoring.
Why Choose This Part
The device offers 1% current measurement accuracy and 1 degree Celsius temperature accuracy, providing high-fidelity system telemetry in a compact 4x4mm QFN package. Its ability to measure both current and temperature across multiple channels reduces BOM count for complex thermal and power management designs.
Applications
Getting Started
Evaluation can be performed using Microchip's USB-to-SMBus bridge tools or by connecting the device to a standard I2C host controller. Designers should configure the ideality factor and beta compensation registers to match the specific thermal diodes being monitored for maximum accuracy.
