WHAT IS THE MCP1630V BIDIRECTIONAL 4 CELL LI-ION CHARGER 
REFERENCE DESIGN?
The MCP1630V Bidirectional 4 Cell Li-Ion Charger Reference Design demonstrates 
the use of a bidirectional buck-boost converter used to charge multiple series cell Li-Ion 
batteries with the presence of an input source (boost) and provide a regulated output 
voltage when the input source is removed (buck). The board also serves as a platform 
to evaluate the MCP1630V device.
The MCP1630V Bidirectional 4 Cell Li-Ion Charger Reference Design inputs were 
developed to be easily attached to the I/O of a PIC
®
 Microcontroller. The MCU supplies 
the oscillator (OSC_IN) and reference voltage (V
REF
) to the MCP1630V creating a 
flexible and adaptable power system. The power system switching frequency and 
maximum duty cycle are set using the hardware PWM of the MCU. The reference input 
to the high speed analog 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 
external signals and variables in order to optimize performance and facilitate 
calibration.
This board utilizes Microchip's MCP1630V (high-speed PIC MCU PWM MSOP8) with 
the PIC16F88 (Flash MCU) in a four cell Li-Ion charger combined with a synchronous 
buck regulator. Under normal operation, the input supply can range between 6.5V and 
7.0V. The converter is capable of charging four Li-Ion cells connected in series when 
the 6.5V input is present and regulating the bulk input voltage to 6.0V when the input 
source voltage is removed by stepping, (bucking), down the battery pack voltage.
