Alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. The MCP1643 is a PWM-only device that operates at a fixed 1 MHz switching frequency. The device has an operating input voltage range from 0.5V to 5V (with a 0.65V start-up voltage).
The MCP1643 Synchronous Boost LED Constant Current Regulator Evaluation Board is used to evaluate and demonstrate Microchip Technology’s MCP1643 device. This board demonstrates the MCP1643 in a boost converter application supplied by one AA battery, or from an external voltage source, which drives an LED with four selectable currents.
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation INTRODUCTION The MCP1643 has been developed for applications that require driving an LED from a low-voltage source. The Microchip low-voltage technology allows the device to start up from a low 0.65V input voltage without output overshoot. At the same time, the device...
