Overview

The PAC1951T-2E/J6CX is a single-channel current and voltage monitor designed for high-side power sensing with a wide bus voltage range of -0.2V to 32V. This precision device utilizes a 16-ball WLCSP package to minimize board space while providing high-accuracy power measurements via I2C or SMBus interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

The device features a low typical run current of 395 microamps and a sleep mode drawing only 5 microamps, making it ideal for power-sensitive applications. Its wide dynamic range and 1% accuracy allow for precise power calculations without the need for extensive host-side processing.

Applications

Battery Charging Systems
Monitoring charge and discharge cycles in portable electronics to ensure battery health and safety.
Power Distribution Units
Tracking real-time power consumption in multi-rail systems for industrial or server environments.
Computing Power Management
Measuring rail voltage and current in high-performance laptops and mobile devices to optimize thermal performance.
