BOARD?
BOARD?
The MCP1630 Automotive Input Boost Converter Demo Board demonstrates the use
of a conventional boost topology with automotive input. The board also serves as a
platform to evaluate the MCP1630/V devices.
The MCP1630/V inputs were developed to be easily attached to the I/O of a
microcontroller. The Microcontroller Unit (MCU) supplies the oscillator pulses and
reference voltage (V
of a conventional boost topology with automotive input. The board also serves as a
platform to evaluate the MCP1630/V devices.
The MCP1630/V inputs were developed to be easily attached to the I/O of a
microcontroller. The Microcontroller Unit (MCU) supplies the oscillator pulses and
reference voltage (V
REF
) to the MCP1630/V devices to provide the most flexible and
adaptable power system. The power system switching frequency and maximum duty
cycle are set using the I/O of the MCU. The reference input to the high-speed PWM can
be external, a D/A Converter (DAC) output or as simple as an I/O output from the MCU.
This enables the power system to adapt to many external signals and variables in order
to optimize performance and facilitate calibration.

MCU PWM)
integrated with PIC12F683 (Flash MCU SOIC8) in automotive input application. Under
normal operation, the vehicle voltage at the supply lines ranges between 9V-18V (12V
system). The converter is capable of delivering an output voltage of 36.5V at 400 mA
load current with maximum power of 14.6W. The line and load regulation is within the
regulation band of 3%.
