Product Overview 1.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides an overview of the MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board and covers the following topics: • MCP16301 Short Overview • What is the MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board? • MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board Kit Contents 1.2 MCP16301 SHORT OVERVIEW The MCP16301 is a highly integrated, high-efficiency, fixed frequency, step-down DC-DC converter in a popular 6-pin SOT23 package that operates from input voltage sources up to 30V. Integrated features include a high-side switch, fixed-frequency peak-current mode control, internal compensation, peak current limit and over-temperature protection. Minimal external components are necessary to develop a complete step-down DC-DC converter power supply. High converter efficiency is achieved by integrating the current limited, low resistance, high-speed N-Channel MOSFET and associated drive circuitry. High switching frequency minimizes the size of external filtering components resulting in a small solution size. The MCP16301 can supply 600 mA of continuous current while regulating the output voltage from 2.0V to 15V. An integrated high performance peak-current mode architecture keeps the output voltage tightly regulated, even during input voltage steps and output current transient conditions that are common in power systems. 1N4148 VIN 4.5V To 30V Cboost L1 100 nF 15 µH BOOST SW VIN CIN 10 µF VOUT 3.3V @ 600 mA 40V SCHOTTKY DIODE EN COUT 2 X10 µF 31.2 K VFB GND FIGURE 1-1: 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. 10 K Typical MCP16301 Step Down Application.

The MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board is designed to operate from a 4V to 30V input and regulate the output to 3.3V while delivering 600 mA of load current. Test points for input power and load are provided to demonstrate the capability of the demo board over the entire range. The MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board was designed using small surface-mount components to show application size for a high voltage 600 mA design. 1.4 MCP16301 600 mA DEMO BOARD KIT CONTENTS This MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board kit includes the following items: • MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board, 102-00352 • Important Information Sheet DS51978A-page 10 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

Installation and Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 MCP16301 Features The MCP16301 device has been developed to provide high input voltage applications with a precise low voltage regulated rail while operating at high efficiency. The key features of the MCP16301 include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Up to 96% Typical Efficiency Input Voltage Range: 4.0V to 30V Output Voltage Range: 2.0V to 15V 2% Output Voltage Accuracy Integrated N-Channel Buck Switch: 460 m 600 mA Output Current 500 kHz Fixed Frequency Adjustable Output Voltage Low Device Shutdown Current Peak Current Mode Control Internal Compensation Stable with Ceramic Capacitors Internal Soft-Start Cycle by Cycle Peak Current Limit Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO): 3.5V Overtemperature Protection Available Package: SOT23 - 6 A high performance peak-current mode control system is used to deliver fast response to sudden line and load changes. 2.1.2 MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board Features The MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board is developed to demonstrate how the MCP16301 device operates over a wide input voltage and load range. Test points are provided for input and output, allowing the demo board to be connected directly to a system. A copper via connected to the EN input can be used to turn the MCP16301 on and off – turning the device on (EN > 1.4V) when the undervoltage lockout threshold is met (VIN > 3.5V), will enable the device. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. DS51978A-page 11 MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board User’s Guide 2.2 GETTING STARTED The MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board is fully assembled and tested to evaluate and demonstrate the MCP16301. 2.2.1 Power Input and Output Connection 2.2.1.1 POWERING THE MCP16301 600 mA DEMO BOARD The MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board is fully assembled, tested and ready to begin evaluation. Apply positive input voltage to the VIN terminal and its return to the GND terminal. The maximum input voltage should not exceed 30V. An electronic load or resistive load can be used for evaluation or the intended system load can be connected. Electronic loads attempt to sink current at 0V during startup, a resistive load or constant resistance is recommended for startup evaluation. Connect the positive voltage terminal of the load to the VOUT terminal on the demo board and connect the negative or return side of the load to the GND terminal. 2.2.1.2 BOARD TESTING To test the board, follow the next steps: 1. Apply input voltage. 2. An internal pull up resistor is connected from VIN to the EN input of the MCP16301, once the input voltage is greater than 3.5V the device will begin to switch. Apply greater than 4V to the input for proper operation, a minimum load is required to regulate the output to 3.3V. Detailed information is provided in the MCP16301 data sheet (DS25004) for minimum load requirements for light load conditions. 3. The measured output voltage should be 3.3V typical, adjusting the input voltage and load should not cause the output to vary more than a few mV over the operating range of the converter. 2.2.2 How the MCP16301 High Side Drive Boost Circuit Operates The MCP16301 integrates a low resistance N-Channel MOSFET. A high side or floating supply is needed to drive the gate of the N-Channel MOSFET above the input voltage to turn it on. The demo board uses the output voltage, 3.3V, to charge the boost cap while inductor current flows clamping the SW node to a diode drop below ground. Prior to startup, there is no inductor current, so an internal pre-charge circuit charges the boost cap up to a minimum threshold. Once charged, the N-Channel can be turned on, ramping current into the inductor. The worst case operating conditions for charging the boost capacitor occur at minimum VIN and no load. At minimum VIN (4V), there is not enough head room to pre-charge the boost cap to a high value. At no load, the converter is operating at a minimum, or very low duty cycle, putting a small amount of current into the inductor. When the switch turns off, the inductor current decays very quickly, resulting in a short time to recharge the boost capacitor. DS51978A-page 12 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
