IR3720

IR3720 DATA SHEET Power Monitor IC with Digital I2C Interface www.datasheet4u.com FEATURES „ Accurate TruePower™ monitor Minimizes dynamic errors Reports voltage, current, or power „ Digital interface SMBus and I2C compatible „ Programmable averaging interval „ Flexible current sensing Resistive or Inductor DCR „ Applications Synchronous rectified buck converters Multiphase converters „ 10pin 3x3 DFN lead free package „ RoHS compliant DESCRIPTION The IR3720 measures the output voltage and inductor current of low-voltage DC-to-DC converters and reports the average power over a user specified time interval as a digital word on the I2C. The output current is measured across a current sensing resistor or indirectly across the inductor’s DCR winding resistance. Additionally, the current measurement method is also applicable to multiphase converters. The real time voltage and current signals are multiplied, digitized, and averaged over a user selectable averaging interval providing Patent Pending TruePower™ measurement of highly dynamic loads.
