First question asked Welcome!

Does CYPD6227-96BZXIT has capability to read current sense info via i2c? The datasheet shows it reads current across external sense R (5mOhm) between CSP and CSN. And use integrated high side current sense amplifier for OCP. 

Besides OCP detection, I wonder if i2c host can actually read back of sensed current at certain sampling rate on the fly. What about voltage sense via I2C? 

 

Thanks for prompt answer if available. Appreciate it.

Hi,

  The current sense is only through high side current sense resistor as explained in the datasheet.

It can be used to detect OCP but not sense live current values.
