current monitors that are configured and monitored with a
standard I
2
C/SMBus serial interface. Each unidirectional
current sensor offers precision high-side operation with a
low full-scale sense voltage. The devices automatically
sequence through two or four channels and collect the
current-sense samples and average them to reduce the
effect of impulse noise. The raw ADC samples are com-
pared to user-programmable digital thresholds to indicate
overcurrent conditions. Overcurrent conditions trigger a
hardware output to provide an immediate indication to
shut down any necessary external circuitry.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
