Achieve accurate and detailed digital power monitoring with the INA780A
VCP Monitor 6 Click is a compact add-on board designed for accurate and reliable digital power monitoring. It uses the INA780A, a high-performance 16-bit I2C output digital power monitor featuring Texas Instruments EZShunt™ technology. This powerful combination enables the VCP Monitor 6 Click to precisely measure current (up to 20A), voltage (up to 85V), and temperature.
KEY FEATURES:
- Precise digital power monitoring: Measures current, voltage, and temperature with high accuracy, ideal for applications demanding precise power management
- Wide measurement range: Capable of measuring currents up to 20A and voltages up to 85V, suitable for various power systems
- EZShunt™ technology: Uses TI's EZShunt technology to simplify current measurement setup by reducing the voltage drop across the current sense resistor, improving efficiency
- Calculates power, energy, and charge: Provides calculated values for power consumption, energy usage, and remaining charge based on the measured voltage and current
- Programmable registers: Allows fine-tuning of measurement parameters through programmable registers for optimal performance in specific applications
- I2C interface: Communicates with the host microcontroller using the I2C communication protocol, simplifying integration
- Selectable operating modes: Supports both continuous and triggered operation modes, offering flexibility based on application requirements
APPLICATIONS:
- Monitor power delivery in various systems, ensuring efficient power distribution and identifying potential issues
- Provide accurate monitoring of voltage, current, and temperature in industrial battery packs, crucial for battery management systems (BMS) and ensuring optimal performance and lifespan
- Enable precise power monitoring in telecom equipment for optimizing power consumption, maintaining service reliability, and identifying potential faults
- Integrate into industrial automation systems for monitoring power usage in machinery and equipment
- Monitor power generation and consumption in renewable energy systems like solar or wind power installations, enabling efficient energy management and grid integration

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™
Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click boards to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click boards to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click boards nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.
ABOUT MIKROE
MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more then million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1600+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
