Maxim Integrated Products announces the launch of a new Teridian/Maxim energy-measurement system on chip (SoC), the 78M6613. The 78M6613 is the industry’s first SoC energy-measurement solution for AC/DC power supplies that brings a higher level of management and control to servers and other equipment in data centers. The new Teridian/ Maxim chip comes as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/ENERGY STAR® mandates toward greater efficiency and accurate energy measurement in data centers begin to bear down on enterprises around the globe. The 78M6613 enables the capture and reporting of real-time energy data, which provides data center managers with the ability to quantify where energy is needed, being used, and more importantly, being stranded. With an embedded analog front-end and compute engine, small footprint, and embedded firmware, the 78M6613 is specifically optimized to address the unique challenges of precision energy measurement inside AC/DC power supplies. As with all Teridian/ Maxim brand energy-measurement SoCs, the 78M6613 features best-in-class accuracy of ±0.5% over a 2000:1 dynamic range, but also provides powerful tools for self-calibration to help facilitate rapid design time and optimal manufacturing costs.
