Description¶
The LTC2947 is a high precision power and energy monitor that measures current, voltage, power, temperature, charge and energy. The device supports both SPI and I2C depending on the chip configuration. The device also measures accumulated quantities as energy. It has two banks of register’s to read/set energy related values. These banks can be configured independently to have setups like: energy1 accumulates always and enrgy2 only accumulates if current is positive (to check battery charging efficiency for example). The device also supports a GPIO pin that can be configured as output to control a fan as a function of measured temperature. Then, the GPIO becomes active as soon as a temperature reading is higher than a defined threshold. The temp2 channel is used to control this thresholds and to read the respective alarms.
