Microchip Power Monitor for MCP39F501

The MCP39F501 Power Monitor PICtail™ Evaluation Board (ADM00509) from Microchip is a development platform that showcases the MCP39F501 Power Monitoring IC. This design does not use any transformers and requires few external components, streamlining product development. With the PICtail™ connector the board can be plugged into an appropriate motherboard such as Microchip’s DM183032 PIC18 Explorer Board – RS part 549-372.

The MCP39F501 chip showcased is a single-phase power monitoring IC designed for real time measurement of input power for AC/DC power supplies, power distribution units and other industrial power applications. Integrated into the chip are dual-channel delta sigma ADCs, a 16-bit calculation engine, 512 bytes of accessible EEPROM, a flexible 2-wire interface and a low-drift voltage reference.
