To further simplify development efforts, the MCP39F511A includes advanced features such as auto-save and auto-load of power quantities to and from the EEPROM at power loss or start, ensuring that measurement results are never lost if power is disrupted unexpectedly. Event monitoring of various power conditions also enhances preventative system maintenance and enables developers to better manage power consumption.
 
The device is supported by the MCP39F511A Power Monitor Demonstration Board (ADM00667), costing $150, which is a fully functional single-phase power and energy monitoring system. The system calculates and displays active power, reactive power, RMS current, RMS voltage, active energy (both import and export) and four-quadrant reactive energy. It connects easily through USB to the “Power Monitor Utility Software” that offers automated control to allow users to easily evaluate all system configuration settings
