Application Bulletin: ADI Introduces the World?s Most Accurate Hot Swap Controller with PMBus Digital Power Monitoring-3

A PMBus interface allows a controller to read current, voltage (ADM1275/ADM1276), and power (ADM1276 only) from the ADC. The VIN input voltage and l0UT current measurement values are multiplied by the ADM1276 to give the input power value. There is also an energy accumulator register—each time a power calculation is done, the power value is added to the energy accumulator register. This allows for the calculation of average power, as well as instantaneous power measurements. Evaluation kits available.
