VCP Monitor 5 Click is a compact add-on board designed for various applications' precise current, voltage, and temperature measurements. This board features the INA700A, a 16-bit digital power monitor from Texas Instruments based on an advanced EZShunt™ technology for high-accuracy sensing. This board handles full-scale current measurements up to ±15.728A, operates within a wide common-mode voltage range of -0.3V to +40V, and offers real-time power, energy, and charge monitoring with ±0.5% accuracy. The onboard temperature sensor is accurate to ±3°C, and adjustable ADC conversion times and sample averaging provide noise reduction and optimized overcurrent detection.
We provide a library for the VCP Monitor 5 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for VCP Monitor 5 Click driver.
vcpmonitor5_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. vcpmonitor5_init
Initialization function. vcpmonitor5_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function. vcpmonitor5_get_bus_voltage
This function reads the BUS voltage output measurement in volts [V] by using I2C serial interface. vcpmonitor5_get_current
This function reads the current measurement result in milliamperes [mA] by using the I2C serial interface. vcpmonitor5_get_power
This function reads the power measurement result in Watts [W] by using the I2C serial interface. This library contains API for the VCP Monitor 5 Click driver for measurements of the voltage, current, power, energy, charge, and die temperature.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
The initialization of the I2C module and log UART. After driver initialization, the app sets the default configuration.
The demo application reads and displays the results of the input bus voltage, current, power, energy, charge accumulation measurements, and die temperature. Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
