India, Dec. 8 -- Battery-operated devices and energy-restricted applications must track and monitor power consumption without wasting power in the process.

To solve this challenge, Microchip Technology announced two digital power monitors that consume half the power of comparable solutions based on typical operating conditions at 1024 samples per second.

The PAC1711 and PAC1811 power monitors achieve this efficiency milestone, while also providing real-time system alerts for out-of-limit power events and a patent-pending step-alert function for identifying variations in long-running averages.

The 42V, 12-bit single-channel PAC1711 and 16-bit PAC1811 monitors are housed in 8- and 10-pin Very Thin Dual Flat, No-Lead (VDFN) packages, res...
