XMC Digital Power Explorer Kit
Explore digital power control with XMC ARM® Cortex®-M microcontrollers
The new XMC Digital Power Explorer Kit utilizes Infineon’s industry leading XMC range
of ARM® Cortex®-M microcontrollers, OptiMOS™ BSC0924NDI MOSFETs and IRS2011S
high and low side drivers. The kit’s power board features synchronous buck converter with on-board resistive load banks. The load banks can be switched between 10%,
55% and 100% of the maximum load, so that the transient response and the quality of
the control loop under different load conditions can be tested (for example continuous
conduction mode vs. discontinuous conduction mode). The kit also includes 2 different
control card options, XMC1300 control card (ARM® Cortex®-M0) and XMC4200 control card
(ARM® Cortex®-M4F) with isolated on-board debugger, which allow designers to easy evaluate both XMC microcontroller families and make the right price/performance choice for
their application. Multiple test points are provided on the power board for check­ing the
quality of all the relevant signals. Communication option via PMBus™ is pro­vided for easy
integration in more complex power management systems.

The XMC Digital Power Explorer Kit has been aimed at analog
power supply designers and embedded software programmers
who need to accelerate their learning curve in digital power
control. Infineon’s free DAVE™v4 IDE, including digital power APPs
and plenty of other examples, provide the basis to quickly extract
the maximum out of XMC in digital power applications.
The kit was developed in collaboration with Biricha Digital Ltd.
and Würth Elektronik. Biricha Digital designed the power board
employing years of training and consulting experience in digital
power control. Würth Elektronik contributed by providing the
best-in-class passive components and connectors, including their
high-performance inductors and capacitors, perfectly fitting
digital power control applications.
