REGISTER AnD ConTRoL TAB

The register and control tab provides a detailed view of the 

LTC2943 device registers as well as provides convenient 

means to read and write to them.

Address/I

2

C Status

The write address for the LTC2943 is C8h and the read 

address  is  C9h.  If  an  error  occurs  while  reading  from 

the LTC2943, the I

2

C status will display an error and the 

corresponding LED will turn red. Otherwise, the status is 

good and the LED remains green.

Sense Resistor

By default, the demo board is populated with a 100mΩ 

sense resistor to measure a maximum full-scale current of 

500mA. If a different full-scale value current is desired, the 

sense resistor can be easily replaced and the correspond-

ing resistor value can be set in the interface. Every time a 

new resistor value is entered, the interface will recalculate 

a suggested prescalar and q

LSB

 automatically and display 

it in the “LSB Information” section.
