and Charge with ±0.6% Accuracy
The LTC®2946 is a very wide range I2C system monitor that monitors the energy, charge, current, voltage and power of any 0V
to 100V rail. The LTC2946 has flexible power supply options, deriving power from a 4V to 100V monitored supply, a 2.7V to 100V
secondary supply or from the onboard shunt regulator. These supply options eliminate the need for a separate buck regulator, shunt
regulator or inefficient resistive divider while monitoring high voltages. An internal shunt regulator allows monitoring of supplies >100V
and negative voltages. The LTC2946 is a simple, single-IC solution that uses an internal ∆∑ ADC, multiplier and internal or external
time base to provide 12-bit current and voltage measurements, 24-bit power readings and 32-bit charge and energy readings.
