The MCP39F511N is a highly integrated, dual-channel single-phase power-monitoring IC designed for real-time measurement of power for dual-socket wall outlets, power strips, AC/DC power supplies, and power distribution applications. The MCP39F511 calculates active power, reactive power, accumulated energy, RMS current, RMS voltage, power factor, line frequency, and offers several features useful to power monitoring designs. It includes three ADCs for voltage and two current load measurements, a 16-bit calculation engine, EEPROM, and a flexible 2-wire interface. An integrated low-drift voltage reference, in addition to the 94.5 dB of SINAD performance on each current measurement channel allows for better than 0.5% accurate designs across a 4000:1 dynamic range.

MCP39F511N Block Diagram
MCP39F511N Typical Application (Single Phase, 2-Wire Application Schematic)
- The MCP39F511 demonstration board uses a switching power supply. A low-cost capacitive-based supply is sufficient for many applications.
- The external sensing components shown here: a 2 mΩ shunt, 2 499 kΩ, and 1 kΩ resistor for the 1000:1 voltage divider, are specifically chosen to match the default values for the calibration registers. By choosing low-tolerance components of these values (e.g. 1% tolerance), measurement accuracy in the 2-3% range can be achieved with 0 calibration.
