Features
- Monitor current draw less than 1.058 A
- Wide range of configurable alert conditions
- Monitor voltages from 3.16 V to 26 V
- Configurable device address for up to nine modules in a single system
- 2×4-pin connector with I2C interface
Functional Description
Users can configure the Pmod PMON1 to a wide range of possible alert conditions from the ADM1191 by using the configurable AD5112 potentiometer. The AD5112 upper potentiometer connection ties to DVDD through a filtering ferrite bead and the lower connection connects to GND. (See Table 1 for Connector Descriptions.) The wiper directly connects to the SETV pin on the ADM1191 to allow for the wide range of alert conditions. If an alert condition occurs, LD1 on the PMON1 will illuminate and the alert pin will go to a logic low state.
Interfacing with the Pmod
In order to use multiple Pmod PMON1s on a single I2C bus, each individual PMON1 will need to be connected; and the desired potentiometer value programmed into the EEPROM on the AD5112. Any stored value will become the default starting value for the potentiometer. The alert functionality available on the ADM1191 will not function properly without programming each individual device. (See Table 2 for jumper descriptions.)

Any external power applied to the Pmod must be within 2.5V and 5.5V; however, it is recommended that Pmod is operated at 3.3V.
Physical Dimensions
The pins on the pin header are spaced 100 mil apart. The PCB is 1.2 inches long on the sides parallel to the pins on the pin header and 0.8 inches long on the sides perpendicular to the pin header.
