MIKROE-3169

PWR Meter click is a power measurement Click board™ capable of measuring voltage and current through the load, connected to either AC or DC power source. It uses the MCP39F511A a very sophisticated monitoring IC with 16-bit processing core. It is used to calculate all the measurement parameters, returning values of multiple power parameters directly, over the UART interface, reducing the processing load on the host MCU. These parameters include active, reactive and apparent power, current and voltage RMS, line frequency and power factor. It can be used for digital power monitoring and power metering in portable and automotive devices, embedded electronic applications, real time power characteristics measurement for AC or DC power supply units, smart power distribution systems and similar applications.
