Power and Temperature Measurement IC Announced by IXYS
23 Juin 2006 - 2:30PM
Business Wire
IXYS Corporation (Nasdaq:SYXI) introduced today a power and
temperature measurement mixed signal integrated circuit (IC), the
MX844, developed by its Micronix division. The MX844 measures
current, voltage, and temperature, and is a fully integrated
subsystem that outputs serial data with a resolution of 3 1/2
digits plus sign. The fully differential sense amplifier has been
optimized to measure very small voltages near ground and includes
an internal temperature sensor with 0.2 degree C resolution. The
device may be used with a 4-wire standard synchronous serial I/O
interface or scan mode controlled by serial EEPROM. Additionally
there is an asynchronous serial "talk-only" data output. The MX844
operates with supply voltages between 4.5V to 40V and is compatible
with most microcontrollers over an operating temperature of -40
degrees C to +85 degrees C. It is a necessary building block for
monitoring power consumption, efficiency, and reliability with the
convenience of digital outputs for interface control and
communication. "Our MX844 is a premier power and temperature
measurement IC that is ideal for power systems in automotive and
industrial applications where the user is concerned with battery
capacity measurements, monitoring power, and systems energy
efficiency," remarked Bob DeCaro, General Manager and Vice
President of Micronix. "When operated with a low impedance shunt in
series with the negative terminal of a battery, the MX844 can be
used to determine the remaining battery capacity." The MX844 has a
standard lead time of 14-16 weeks and is available in an
environmentally friendly, lead-free, QFN-28 package. Micronix, a
leader in the design of high-performance analog and mixed-signal
integrated circuits, has produced over 400 application specific
integrated circuits (ASICs) and application specific standard
products (ASSPs) for the display, communications, consumer, and
medical markets. Micronix is a subsidiary company of IXYS
Corporation, a leading supplier of higher power semiconductors and
modules for the global power market. Additional information about
