Product Overview 1.1 INTRODUCTION The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board is used to evaluate Microchip’s MCP1650 boost controller in a low-power application that requires a regulated output voltage from an input voltage that can be greater than, less than or equal to the output voltage. As provided, the MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board generates a 5.0V output from a 3V to 7V source. This chapter covers the following topics: • What is the MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board? • What the MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board Kit Includes. 1.2 WHAT IS THE MCP1650 SEPIC DEMO BOARD? The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board is a complete, step-up or step-down, Switch mode, DC-DC power converter. The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board generates a regulated 5.0V output at load currents up to 160 mA. The SEPIC topology has the ability to step-up or step-down the input voltage. The input voltage range for the MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board is from 3.0V to 7.0V. Test points are provided for input power, output load and shutdown control. 1.3 WHAT THE MCP1650 SEPIC DEMO BOARD KIT INCLUDES This MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board kit includes: • The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board (102-00079) • The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board User’s Guide (DS51581) • MCP1650/51/52/53 Data Sheet, “750 kHz Boost Controller” (DS21876) 3V - 7V Input SEPIC Topology 5V @ 160 mA Load MCP1650 FIGURE 1-1: © 2005 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board Block Diagram. DS51581A-page 5 MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board User’s Guide NOTES: DS51581A-page 6 © 2005 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP1650 SEPIC DEMO BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Installation and Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board demonstrates Microchip’s MCP1650 750 kHz Boost Controller in an application that requires a regulated output voltage from a source that is greater than, less than or equal to the regulated output voltage. The MCP1650 is a gated oscillator boost controller developed for high-power, portable applications. By driving an external MOSFET, the MCP1650 controller can deliver 5 watts of power to the load. The high switching frequency minimizes the size of the external inductor and capacitor, saving both board space and cost. The Single-Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC) topology utilized on this board has the ability to produce a regulated output from a wide-ranging source. Some advantages of the SEPIC topology versus other topologies are the low-ripple input current, the ability to step-up or step-down the input voltage without inverting the output voltage, no required transformer and the output is capacitively isolated from the input to protect against switch failure. 2.2 FEATURES The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board has the following features: • • • • • Wide input voltage range: 3.0V to 7.0V Regulated 5.0V output voltage Maximum output current: 160 mA Complete low-profile, space-saving power supply Test point to apply external Enable signal © 2005 Microchip Technology Inc. DS51581A-page 7 MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board User’s Guide 2.3 GETTING STARTED The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board is fully assembled and tested for generating a regulated 5.0V output voltage. The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board requires the use of an external input voltage source (3.0V–7.0V). 2.3.1 Power Input and Output Connections 2.3.1.1 POWERING THE MCP1650 SEPIC DEMO BOARD Apply the input voltage to the VIN (TP1) and GND (TP2) test points. The input voltage should be limited to the 0V to +7.0V range. For normal operation, the input voltage must be between +3.0V and +7.0V. 2.3.1.2 APPLY THE LOAD TO THE REGULATED OUTPUT VOLTAGE TEST POINTS 1. To apply a load to the MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board, the positive side (+) of the load should be connected to the VOUT test point (TP4). The negative side (–) of the load should be connected to the GND test point (TP5). 2. The maximum load current for the MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board is 160 mA. Applying a load greater than the stated maximum will cause the output voltage to pull out of regulation. 2.3.1.3 ENABLING/DISABLING THE MCP1650 SEPIC DEMO BOARD The SHDN pin of the MCP1650 is pulled-up to VIN so that the device is always enabled. The SHDN test point (TP3) can be used to apply an external Enable signal to the device. Pulling TP3 to ground will disable the part. Connect output ground to TP5 Connect input voltage to TP1 Connect output Connect input load to TP4 ground to TP2 FIGURE 2-1: DS51581A-page 8 MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board Assembly Drawing. © 2005 Microchip Technology Inc. Installation and Operation 2.3.2 Evaluating the Application The MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board can be used to provide a low-cost, minimal size, low-power bias circuit. A well-regulated 5V at 160 mA output is produced from a 3.0V to 7.0V input source. This voltage range allows the source to be a single Li-Ion battery or three to four NiMH batteries. The SEPIC topology is employed to convert this wide-ranging input source to a well-regulated 5 volts. The SEPIC has the ability to automatically buck or boost the input source. By coupling the two inductors onto one magnetic core, a small footprint, low parts-count, low-power step-up or step-down converter is developed. To truly evaluate the effectiveness of the MCP1650 SEPIC Demo Board, the input voltage must be varied over the entire operating range, while the load is varied from 0A to 160 mA. Test points are provided for connecting the variable input voltage source (TP1 and TP2) and a variable load (TP4 and TP5). An additional test point (TP3) is connected to the shutdown pin (SHDN) of the MCP1650. On the board, the SHDN pin is pulled-up to VIN. However, by connecting TP3 to GND, the converter can be disabled. © 2005 Microchip Technology Inc.
