The MCP16311/2 Synchronous Buck Converter Evaluation Board is used to evaluate and demonstrate Microchip Technology’s MCP16311/2 product. This board demonstrates the MCP16311 (PFM/PWM – low quiescent current) and the MCP16312 (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. Two common output voltages can be selected: 3.3V and 5.0V. The first converter with the 8LD MSOP package is a PWM/PFM device with a fixed output of 3.3V, while the second converter with the 2 x 3 8LD TDFN package is a PWM-only device, with a fixed output of 5V.
• Input Voltage Range (VIN): 4V to 30V • Fixed Output Voltage: 3.3V and 5.0V • Output Current: Typically 1A @ 3.3V Output, 12V Input • Automatic PFM/PWM Operation for MCP16311, or PWM-only for MCP16312 • PWM Switching Frequency: 500 kHz • Internal Compensation • Internal Soft Start • Overtemperature protection (if the die temperature exceeds +150°C, 25°C hysteresis)
