16-bit 28-pin Starter Board (DM300027)
This low-cost, 16-bit, 28-pin starter
development board supports 28-pin SDIP
dsPIC30F, dsPIC33F and PIC24 devices
with 3.3/5V operation. This board is an
ideal prototyping tool to help validate key
design requirements using these MCUs and DSCs.
This board features UART Communication via a USB
bridge, MPLAB® ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger, PICkit™ 3
Starter Kit support. Headers are available to access all
device I/O pins.
Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001)
The Explorer 16 is a low-cost, efficient
development board to evaluate
the features and performance of
Microchip’s 16-bit PIC24F and
PIC24H MCU, dsPIC33 DSC and
32-bit PIC32MX families. Interface with the MPLAB®
ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger or MPLAB REALICE™
In-Circuit Emulator to speed evaluation and prototyping
of application circuitry. This board features an
alphanumeric display and Microchip’s TC1047A high
accuracy analog output temperature sensor. The board
supports plug-in-modules for 28-, 44- and 100-pin
dsPIC DSC devices. A PICtail™ Plus connector on the
board allows for easy system expansion.
Buck/Boost Converter PICtail™ Plus Card
(AC164133)
A low-cost development platform for
dsPIC33F “GS” SMPS devices, the
buck/boost converter PICtail Plus
card has two buck stage outputs and
one boost stage output. The buck/
boost converter operates from an input supply of
+9V to +15V DC. Various performance measures like
digital control loop performance of power conversion,
dynamic load performance, multi-phase buck and
synchronous buck converter operation, parallel
operation of two buck converters and multiple output
control with a single dsPIC device can be evaluated
for dsPIC33F“GS” SMPS solutions. This board can be
used with either the Explorer 16 board or the 16-bit
28-pin starter board and the dsPIC33F SMPS and
digital power conversion devices.
MCP1630 Dual Synchronous Buck Regulator Board
(MCP1630RD-DDBK1)
The MCP1630 Dual Synchronous Buck
Regulator demo board is a dual output
programmable power supply capable
of 20A per output. Both outputs
switch at 500 kHz 180° out of phase
while powered from a +12V input source. Additional
features include programmable output voltage, power
good output indication, sequencing, overcurrent and
overtemperature.
MCP1630 Automotive Input Triple Output Converter
Demo Board (MCP1630DM-DDBK4)
The MCP1630 Automotive Input
Triple Output Converter Demo Board
demonstrates Microchip’s high-speed
PWM used for automotive applications.
When specified with a microcontroller,
the MCP1630 will control the power system duty
cycle to provide three regulated output voltages of
3.3V at 1.2A, 1.2V at 600 mA and 4.7V at 150 mA.
The PIC12F683 microcontroller is used to provide
the reference voltage, On/Off of converter using
push button SW1 and oscillator pulses at switching
frequency of 250 kHz. The MCP1630 generates a
duty cycle based on various external inputs. External
signals include the input oscillator pulses, reference
voltage from the PIC12F683 MCU and the feedback
voltage.
dsPICDEM™ SMPS Buck Development Board
(DM300023)
This development board provides an
easy and economical way to evaluate
the dsPIC30F202X/1010 SMPS
and digital power conversion family
of components for buck converter
operation in synchronous or asynchronous modes
and transient response for dynamic output load. The
board includes a socketed dsPIC30F2020 device
connected to power devices and circuitry for controlling
dual independent low-power DC-to-DC synchronous
buck converter circuits. In addition, it supports debug
and serial communication circuitry for designs using
potentiometers to simulate application features such
as voltage trip, remote voltage sense, voltage tracking
and current sharing.
