CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As automotive, AI/data center, networking and industrial systems quickly migrate toward 48V power architectures to improve efficiency and support higher power demands, designers need more than visibility into instantaneous voltage and current conditions. They need systems that understand energy use over time and can respond intelligently to changing power conditions. Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced the PAC1761 and PAC1861 families of 65V energy-aware digital power monitors that combine accumulated power-measurement insights with the necessary high-voltage measurement headroom and transient spike protection capabilities to help make 48V power architectures more efficient and resilient. The move to 48V power architectures demands that digital power monitors have an additional operational margin of up-to-65V measurement and 75V of spike protection to ensure transient survivability. The PAC1761 and PAC1861 devices add to these capabilities the intelligence to understand and react in real time to energy usage dynamics based on accumulated power measurement data. "The industry conversation is shifting from measuring power at a single point in time to understanding and responding to energy behavior across an entire system and its lifecycle," said Keith Pazul, vice president of Microchip's mixed-signal linear...
