Hello,

Is there possibility for MCT to send Current Measurements (basen on low side shunt and CSA) via I2C bus?

Hi Adam,

The DC bus current can be read from the variable DC_BUS_CURR in SYS_STATUS3 register. Other way is to read through the pin DACOUT/SOx/SPEED_ANA

Thanks,

what is this current under DC_BUS_CURR?

this is current measured on shunt resistor by mct?

Hi Adam,

Yes, this is the current measured by the shunt.
