Key Features
- Simultaneous 3-channel voltage, current, and power measurement with 12-bit ADC resolution
- I2C interface with programmable address allows up to 16 devices on one bus
- Adjustable over-voltage and over-current alert thresholds with internal fault registers
- Energy accumulation registers enable long-term Wh or mAh tracking without MCU intervention
Applications
The LTC2946CMS-1#PBF is widely deployed in multi-rail server power supplies and rack-mount systems where per-rail energy consumption must be tracked continuously for thermal budgeting and billing. It is also used in battery-powered embedded systems to monitor cell discharge in real time, enabling accurate state-of-charge estimation and over-current protection at the system level. Telecom base-station designers use it to watch 48 V bus currents alongside lower logic-rail voltages from a single I2C master without discrete shunt amplifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many power rails can LTC2946CMS-1#PBF monitor simultaneously and what is its ADC resolution?
The LTC2946CMS-1#PBF provides 3 independent measurement channels and uses a 12-bit ADC to digitize voltage, current, and power on each rail. At 12-bit resolution the device can resolve current steps as fine as 1 mA in typical shunt configurations, giving system designers accurate per-rail load data for thermal and power budgeting.
What communication interface does LTC2946CMS-1#PBF use and how many devices can share one bus?
LTC2946CMS-1#PBF uses an I2C interface running at standard 100 kHz or fast 400 kHz clock rates. The device supports programmable address selection, allowing up to 16 units to reside on a single 2-wire bus, which is essential in multi-supply server or telecom boards where dozens of rails need monitoring without consuming many MCU GPIO pins.
What voltage input range does LTC2946CMS-1#PBF support, making it usable across both 5 V and 48 V supply rails?
The LTC2946CMS-1#PBF accepts voltage sense inputs up to 100 V, covering 3.3 V logic rails, 12 V ATX supplies, and 48 V telecom bus voltages within the same device. Its wide common-mode input range removes the need for a separate voltage-divider circuit on high-voltage rails, simplifying the measurement front-end and improving accuracy.
How does LTC2946CMS-1#PBF's energy accumulation compare with polling a shunt amplifier from a microcontroller?
LTC2946CMS-1#PBF accumulates power readings internally into 24-bit energy and charge registers, updating every conversion cycle without MCU involvement. A polling approach using a discrete shunt amplifier and MCU ADC risks missing current transients shorter than the sampling interval and consumes CPU bandwidth; the LTC2946 eliminates both issues and delivers Wh-accurate energy totals over minutes to hours.
