The MCP1662 device is a compact, space-efficient, fixed-frequency, non-synchronous step-up converter optimized to drive LED strings with constant current from two and three-cell alkaline and NiMH/NiCd or one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries.
The device integrates a 36V, 800 mΩ low-side switch, which is protected by the 1.3A cycle-by-cycle inductor peak current limit operation. Low-voltage technology allows the MCP1662 to start-up without high inrush current or output overshoot. All compensation and protection circuitry is integrated to minimize the number of external components.
The MCP1662 LED Driver Evaluation Board is used to evaluate and demonstrate Microchip Technology’s MCP1662 product. This board demonstrates the MCP1662 in a boost-converter application supplied by two AA batteries, or from an external voltage source, which drives a string of LEDs with three selectable currents: 30 mA, 60 mA and 90 mA. The output current can be changed with a dual switch that...
