Product Overview 1.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides an overview of the MCP16322 Evaluation Board and covers the following topics: • MCP16322 Short Overview • What is the MCP16322 Evaluation Board? • MCP16322 Evaluation Board kit contents 1.2 MCP16322 SHORT OVERVIEW The MCP16322 is a highly integrated, high-efficiency, fixed frequency, synchronous, step-down DC-DC converter in a popular 16-pin QFN package that operates from input voltage sources up to 24V. Integrated features include a low resistance high-side switch, low resistance low-side switch, 1.0 MHz fixed-frequency peak-current mode control, internal compensation, power good output, peak current limit, VOUT overvoltage and overtemperature protection. Minimal external components are necessary to develop a complete step-down DC-DC converter power supply. The MCP16322 draws less than 10 µA while disabled. High converter efficiency is achieved by integrating the current limited, low resistance, high-speed N-Channel MOSFETs and associated drive circuitry. Incorporating both the upper and lower switches reduces the need for external components. High switching frequency minimizes the size of external filtering components resulting in an overall small solution size. The MCP16322 can supply 2A of continuous current while regulating the output voltage from 0.9V to 5V. 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. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

WHAT IS THE MCP16322 EVALUATION BOARD? The MCP16322 Evaluation Board is designed to operate from a 6V to 24V input and regulate the output to 3.0V. Test points for input power and load are provided to demonstrate the capability of the MCP16322 Evaluation Board over the entire range. The MCP16322 Evaluation Board was designed using small surface-mount components to show application size for a high-voltage buck design. 1.4 MCP16322 EVALUATION BOARD KIT CONTENTS This MCP16322 Evaluation Board kit includes the following items: • MCP16322 Evaluation Board, 102-00423 • Important Information Sheet DS52030A-page 10 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

Installation and Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 MCP16322 Features The MCP16322 devices have been developed to provide high input voltage, high current applications with a precisely regulated rail while operating at high efficiency. The key features of the MCP16322 include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Up to 95% Typical Efficiency Input Voltage Range: 6.0V to 24V Output Voltage Range: .9V to 5V 1.5% Output Voltage Accuracy Integrated High-Side N-Channel Switch: 180 mΩ Integrated Low-Side N-Channel Switch: 120 mΩ 2A Output Current MCP16322 1 MHz 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): 5.75V (typical) Output Overvoltage Protection Overtemperature Protection Available Package: QFN-16 A high-performance peak-current mode control system is used to deliver a fast response to sudden line and load changes. 2.1.2 MCP16322 Evaluation Board Features The MCP16322 Evaluation Board is developed to demonstrate how the MCP16322 device operates as a Buck Topology over a wide input voltage and load range. Test points are provided for input and output, allowing the MCP16322 Evaluation Board to be connected directly to a system. Test vias are also included to give the user easy access to the switch, power good, enable and injection nodes for easy evaluation of the device. There are also ancillary vias provided for attaching extra input and output connections. The 2A maximum continuous output current is available over the entire VIN range (6.0V to 24.0V), along with the entire adjustable output voltage range (0.9V to 5.0V). A copper via, labeled Pgood, connected to the power good pin on the device can be populated to monitor the power good output of the device. The power good pin is externally pulled up to VOUT with a 10 kΩ resistor (R2). 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. DS52030A-page 11 MCP16322 Evaluation Board User’s Guide A copper via, labeled INJ, connected between the 10Ω injection resistor (R1) and the Rtop resistor can be populated to allow a convenient injection point for stability analysis. A copper via, labeled Enable, connected to the enable input on the device can be populated and used to turn the MCP16322 on and off. Turning the device on (Enable > 2.2V) when the undervoltage lockout threshold is met (VIN > 5.75V), will enable the device. This pin must be pulled low (Enable < 0.8V) to disable the device. A copper via, labeled SW, connected to the switch node of the device can be populated to analyze the switch node of the device. 2.2 GETTING STARTED The MCP16322 Evaluation Board is fully assembled and tested to evaluate and demonstrate the MCP16322 operational capabilities. 2.2.1 Power Input and Output Connection 2.2.1.1 POWERING THE MCP16322 EVALUATION BOARD The MCP16322 Evaluation 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 24V. 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 MCP16322 Evaluation 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: 1. Apply greater than 6V to the input for proper operation; no minimum load is required to regulate the output to 3.0V. 2. The EN input is internally pulled up to a low voltage internal source enabling the device. To disable the device, the EN input can be pulled below 0.8V. 3. The measured output voltage should be 3.0V typical. Adjusting the input voltage and load should not cause the output to vary significantly over the operating range of the converter. 2.2.2 How the MCP16322 High-Side Drive Boost Circuit Operates The MCP16322 integrates both high-side and low-side, low resistance N-Channel MOSFETs. A high-side or floating supply is needed to drive the gate of the high-side N-Channel MOSFET above the input voltage to turn it on. The evaluation board uses the output voltage to charge the boost cap while the inductor current flows. 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 (6V), there is not enough headroom 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. DS52030A-page 12 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
