1 Introduction

There are several details that can easily be overlooked when designing with digital power monitors and overlooking these details can lead to errors and possibly late design changes. This document provides a structured design method that incorporates the key design specifications to be observed. In conjunction with this paper is a design tool that is built upon the method discussed in this paper. The method described in this paper follows the progression illustrated in the Figure 1-1.
