Use the USB Charger Doctor to measure the working voltage and current output for any USB port and project. This plastic dongle plugs between a USB device, and passes the data lines through. There's a 0.05 ohm resistor in line with the power pin that is used to measure current draw. The Doctor's digital display instantly reads the numbers out for testing devices such as chargers, cables, and cell phones.

You can use this device from 3.5-7VDC input voltage (although most USB devices tend to hover around 4.75 to 5.25) and up to 3A of current. It displays both voltage and current readouts. It's a very handy tool for testing USB devices, checking load levels and debugging battery chargers and boost converters.

• current detection
• over current protection (can be preset from 0.5A to 35.0A)

Interface

1. When the current flows in from positive direction: V0=Vcc*0.5+la*K, V0=(2.5+0.06)V=2.56V
2. When the current flows in from negative direction: V0=Vcc*0.5-la*K, V0=(2.5-0.06)V=2.44V
3. If it is an AC signal: V0=Vcc*0.5+la*K, V0=(2.5+0.06)V=2.56V

1. Make sure the current flows in from the positive direction. Adjust to the desired current warning level.
2. LED will be on when current is below the setting and DOUT will be low.
3. When the detected current is higher than your setting, the LED will turn off and the DOUT pin will go high.

• Calibration programmable registers can directly read its unit of measure is the ampere current, and power in watts per read.
• For as many as 128 sampling averaging, in order to realize filter in noise environment.
• The I2C interface has a timeout, not only can avoid the bus lock, but also can provide high-speed mode, meet the communication requirements of up to 3.4 MHz.
• All features are support software programmable INA219.
• Using single power supply, the working voltage between + 3.0 to + 5.5 V.
