CURIOSITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 1. Introduction The dsPIC33CH Curiosity Development Board (DM330028) is intended as a cost-effective development and demonstration platform for the dsPIC33CH128MP508 family of dual core, high-performance Digital Signal Controllers. Some of the board hardware features are highlighted in Figure 1-1.

(when limited in current level), but are a USB compliance violation. They can interfere with the host operation, especially when the host is unpowered. This scenario can be avoided, however, via D1. Advance Information 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002762A-page 13...
PKOB circuit relies on standard OS provided HID drivers, and therefore, driver instal- lation should be fully automatic. When plugged in, the PKOB programmer/debugger tool can be selected from the MPLAB X project properties page by selecting the device under: Hardware Tools>Microchip Starter Kits>Starter Kits (PKOB)>dsPIC33CH Curio…, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide J13 – This jumper sets the effective resistor divider feedback ratio for the SMPS output voltage when it is measured by the U1 ADC. When the SMPS is used to generate rel- atively low voltages (ex: 0V-6.5V), it is suggested to keep J13 capped to maximize feedback circuit sensitivity.
DC voltage. Op amp U8 buffers the DC voltage, providing a low-impedance firmware adjustable DAC, where the output voltage is based on the PWM duty cycle provided to the circuit. Advance Information 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002762A-page 17...
Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide 2.5.5 Transient Load Tester Circuit The MOSFET Q8 and surrounding components implement an adjustable constant-current sink that can be periodically pulsed on for a few milliseconds at a time to generate momentary SMPS output load transient pulses. During control loop firm- ware development, it is often desirable to study the control system behavior in response to large signal step changes.
PGA to reflect the true current through the sense resistors, unless the overall gain of the complete circuit is directly measured and factored into the computations in the firmware. Advance Information 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002762A-page 19...
Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSING The SMPS on-time current can be measured by the voltage developed across the high-side current sense resistors, R59 and R74. However, the ISENSEH signal is referenced to the +5V input rail of the SMPS circuit (not to ground), which prevents it from being measured directly by the ADC or comparators in the microcontroller U1.
