Chapter 1. Product Overview INTRODUCTION The MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board is used to evaluate Microchip’s MCP1630 in a SEPIC power converter application. As provided, the MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board generates a 3.3V or 5.0V output from an input voltage of 9V, +20%. The MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board provides a regulated output for load currents up to 1A.
MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board User’s Guide WHAT IS THE MCP1630 1A BIAS SUPPLY DEMO BOARD? The MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board is a complete, step-down, switch-mode, dc-dc power converter. The MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board generates a regulated output voltage for systems requiring a bias of 3.3V or 5V at load currents up...
External signals include the input oscillator, the reference voltage, the feedback voltage and the current sense. The output signal is a square-wave pulse. The power train used for the MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board is a Single-Ended Primary Inductive Converter (SEPIC).
Apply the load to the regulated output voltage terminal block 1. To apply a load to the MCP1630 1A Bias Supply Demo Board, the positive side (+) of the load should be connected to pin 2 of J1. The negative side (–) of the load should be connected to pin 1 of J1.
