In summary, Renesas' digital power monitors are an excellent addition to a power system, and can be programmed along with other digital power devices using PowerNavigator. However, there are numerous additional applications for which the devices are suited, including gas monitors and 4 to 20mA loops. If needed, the IC will even work with floating or negative rails, as long as the communication and alert lines are level shifted. Finally, Renesas' digital power monitors outshine the competition in input voltage range and additional features.
