The device is available in 8LD MSOP and 2 x 3 mm TDFN packages. The scope of this evaluation board is to demonstrate the features of the MCP16311/2. This chapter provides an overview of the MCP16311/2 Synchronous Buck Converter Evaluation Board and covers the following topics: •...
(PWM only – low output voltage ripple) in two buck converter applications with two output voltages. It can be used to evaluate both package options, 8LD MSOP and 8LD 2 x 3 TDFN. The MCP16311/2 Synchronous Buck Converter Evaluation Board was developed to help engineers reduce the product design cycle time.
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation INTRODUCTION The MCP16311/2 device is capable of regulating the output voltage over a wide 2V to 15V range, and typically can deliver over 1A of load current at 3.3V output when supplied from a 12V input. The input voltage range is 4V to 30V. The regulated output...
Connect system load to V and GND terminals; maximum load varies with input and output voltage (see the MCP16311/2 data sheet for more information on the maximum load). Connect the (+) side of the load to V and the (–) load to GND terminals.
