Overview

The PAC1952T-2E/J6CX is a high-side and low-side dual-channel power monitor with an integrated 16-bit ADC and power accumulator. It supports a wide bus voltage range from 0V to 32V and provides precise measurements of voltage, current, and power over I2C or SMBus interfaces. The device is optimized for low-power operation, drawing as little as 5uA in sleep mode while offering 16-bit resolution for high-accuracy sensing.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated 16-bit power accumulator reduces CPU overhead by performing math on-chip, allowing for longer sampling intervals without losing precision. Its ultra-small 2.225 x 2.17 mm WLCSP package and low 395uA active current make it ideal for space-constrained, power-sensitive designs.

Applications

AI and GPU Power Rail Monitoring
High-accuracy power tracking for low-voltage, high-current processing cores in edge AI systems.
Embedded Computing
Monitoring multiple power rails in Linux-based SBCs and networking equipment to optimize thermal management.
FPGA Power Sequencing
Real-time measurement of FPGA core and I/O rail power consumption to ensure system reliability.
Battery Management Systems
Tracking state-of-charge through precise current accumulation in battery-powered industrial tools.

Getting Started

Communicate with the device over I2C or SMBus using the standard addresses; Microchip provides the PAC195X evaluation kit for rapid prototyping. Use the GPIO pins for customizable alerts or integration with system-level power management interrupts.
