DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1697A features the LTC2945. The
LTC2945 is a rail-to-rail system monitor that measures
current, voltage, and power. It features an operating range
of 2.7V to 80V and includes a shunt regulator for supplies
above 80V to allow flexibility in the selection of input sup-
ply. The current common mode measurement range of
0V to 80V is independent of the input supply. An onboard
0.75% accurate 12-bit ADC measures load current, input
voltage and an auxiliary external voltage. A 24-bit power
value is generated by digitally multiplying the measured
12-bit load current and input voltage data. Minimum and
