Maximize System Performance with Microchip’s Dual-mode Power Monitoring IC Nasdaq:MCHP
CHANDLER, Ariz., July 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In systems that use both AC and DC power, the implementation of dual-mode power monitoring traditionally requires multiple ICs to ensure superior performance and accuracy. Growing applications such as solar inverters, smart lighting and cloud servers often use both modes to maintain safe operation, with AC as the main power source and DC as backup or vice versa. To optimize performance and ease development of these systems, Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP) today released a flexible dual-mode power monitoring IC that measures both AC and DC modes with industry-leading accuracy of 0.1 percent error across a wide 4000:1 range. Power calculations and event monitoring are included with a single IC, reducing bill of materials cost and firmware development time. For additional information, visit: www.microchip.com/MCP39F511A
