Chapter 1. MCP1601 Evaluation Board INTRODUCTION The MCP1601 Evaluation Board is designed to demonstrate the use of the MCP1601 Synchronous BUCK Regulator in a step down, inductor-based DC/DC converter application. It also describes the capability of the MCP1601 Evaluation Board and how to select the desired Synchronous Converter operating mode and program the output voltage.
, position 1 pushed to the right, the SHDN pin is pulled up and the output of the MCP1601 device is enabled. When switch U , position 1 is to the left, the MCP1601 device is in a low quiescent current SHDN mode and the output is disabled. DS51315A-page 4...

Selecting the Operating Mode - Using Switch U3, Position 2 1.2.4 The multi-function SYNC/PWM pin on the MCP1601 is used to set the operating mode of the device. The three operating modes are: • Automatic switching from PFM Mode to PWM mode and back •...
1.3.1 The /SHDN or shutdown test point can be used to monitor the level of the shutdown pin or as an input to the shutdown pin of the MCP1601 device. With switch U , position 1 in the “off” position, a 1 MΩ resistor will pull the pin low.
Evaluation Board. A.1.1 Highlights The MCP1601 Evaluation Board is constructed using one (1) silk screen layer and two (2) 1 oz. metal wiring layers. The bottom metal wiring layer is a single ground plane which is routed to partition the P high current return pin from the small signal A return pin on the MCP1601 device.
