2.7.2 Boost Converter
The Boost converter stage is rated for a maximum output power of 5W to the dedicated
on-board resistive load. The output voltage and output current should remain within the
Boost converter Safe Operating Area (SOA) to avoid damage to the board, as shown
in the graph in Figure 2-5. The output voltage of the Boost converter (BOOST_Out) can
be programmed to be from an 11V to 18V output, with a default programmed voltage
of 15V. The hardware gain [20k/(20k + 3.3k)] of the voltage feedback from the
BOOST_Out is provided by the resistor divider network of R41 and R51. Additionally,
a 20 Ohm resistor, R30, for bode plot measurements is also in series with the feedback
network. The hardware gain of the current feedback is provided by the current sense
resistor, R61.

The Digital Power Starter Kit includes an on-board programmer/debugger circuit that
provides connectivity over USB. This circuit is hard-wired to the dsPIC DSC device to
provide ICSP™ debugging/programming capability.
