  • Page 15: Chapter 2. Installation And Operation

    The MCP1643 RGB LED Driver Demonstration Board has been developed for applications that require driving an LED from a low-voltage source. The low-voltage technology developed by Microchip Technology allows the device to start up from a low 0.65V input voltage without output overshoot. Also, the device is capable of achieving high efficiency by integrating the low resistance N-Channel boost switch and the synchronous P-Channel switch, and by using a low-voltage reference of 0.120V.
  • Page 16: Getting Started

    MCP1643 RGB LED Driver Demonstration Board User’s Guide GETTING STARTED The MCP1643 RGB LED Driver Demonstration Board is fully assembled and tested to evaluate and demonstrate the MCP1643 product operating with an external PWM signal. This board requires the use of an external power supply or a AA battery.
  • Page 17 An idle time is necessary between each color to ensure that the output voltage of the MCP1643 is below the LED voltage, otherwise the LED can be damaged by a current spike caused by the output capacitor discharge. The idle time can be optimized for different LED voltage differences to increase performance.
  • Page 18 4V. This voltage is stored (through a diode) in a capacitor in order to power the control system while the MCP1643 is driving the LEDs. The diode is necessary because the energy stored in the capacitors would otherwise uncontrollably discharge into the LED.
