Energy MeteringEnergy metering is a type of power management function that is used to measure the amount of electrical energy that is consumed by an electronic system or device. Energy metering is typically performed using a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) or other type of energy meter, which is connected to the system or device and measures the flow of electrical current, voltage, or power.
Energy metering is commonly used in a variety of applications, such as utility meters, power distribution systems, and renewable energy systems, to measure the amount of electricity that is being generated, consumed, or transmitted. Energy metering PMICs are available in different sizes, styles, and configurations, depending on the specific requirements of the application. They may be integrated into larger PMICs or systems, or may be separate chips that are connected to the system or device via a bus or interface.
Energy metering is an important part of many electronic systems, and is used to monitor and control the flow of electrical energy in the system. It helps to ensure that the system operates efficiently and reliably, and can be used to identify and diagnose problems or inefficiencies in the system.
