Microchip received QS-9000 quality system

certification for its worldwide headquarters,

design and wafer fabrication facilities in

Chandler and Tempe, Arizona in July 1999

and Mountain View, California in March 2002.

The Company’s quality system processes and

procedures are QS-9000 compliant for its

PICmicro®8-bit MCUs, KEELOQ®code hopping

devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals,

non-volatile memory and analog products. In

addition, Microchip’s quality system for the

design and manufacture of development

systems is ISO 9001 certified.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:

• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.

• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the

intended manner and under normal conditions.

• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowl-

edge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip's Data

Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.

• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not

mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our

products.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The MCP1601 Evaluation Board is designed to demonstrate the use of the MCP1601

Synchronous BUCK Regulator in a step down, inductor-based DC/DC converter

application. It also describes the capability of the MCP1601 Evaluation Board and how

to select the desired Synchronous Converter operating mode and program the output

voltage.

1.2 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The MCP1601 is a 500 mA Synchronous BUCK Regulator. Both the high-side BUCK

P-Channel and the low-side N-Channel switches are integrated within the device. The

integrated synchronous switch makes the MCP1601 very efficient, even when convert-

ing unregulated input voltages to low voltage fixed outputs. This evaluation board is

designed for a wide range of output voltages and currents. For specific applications,

smaller inductors, shielded inductors, tantalum capacitors and different output voltage

settings can improve the total DC/DC converter performance and cost.

The MCP1601 device can operate in three different modes of operation to optimize the

efficiency of the voltage conversion. The three operating modes are:

• Automatic switching from PFM Mode to PWM mode and back

• Synchronization to external Oscillator

• Fixed Frequency Forced PWM Mode

The MCP1601 output voltage is adjustable and is set by two external divider resistors.

A two-position switch is used on the MCP1601 Evaluation Board to change the resis-

tance of the external divider and adjust the output voltage to four different settings.

These output voltage settings are: 1.8V, 2.05V, 2.45V and 3.28V.

1.2.1 Applying Power to the Board

Two surface mount test points are used to apply power to the MCP1601 Evaluation

Board. For proper operation, the input voltage range is 2.7V < +VIN < +5.5V for all oper-

ating conditions. The MCP1601 has an internal Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) which

will prevent the board from operating when the input voltage is below the specified 2.7V

minimum.

1. Connect the positive side of the external power supply (+) to the +VIN test point.

2. Connect the negative side (GND) of the external power supply to the PGND test

point which is located directly below the +VIN test point.

1.2.2 Connecting a Load to the Board

To connect an external load to the board, the +VOUT and PGND test points are used.

• Connect the positive side of the load to the +VOUT pin and the negative or ground

side of the load to the PGND test point located directly under the +VOUT test point.

The MCP1601 output is rated for 500 mA (maximum) continuous current. The out-

put is protected against over current and short circuit conditions.

1.2.3 Enabling the MCP1601 - Using Switch U3, Position 1

Switch U3, position 1 is used to determine the SHDN mode for the MCP1601 device.

With switch U3, position 1 pushed to the right, the SHDN pin is pulled up and the output

of the MCP1601 device is enabled. When switch U3, position 1 is to the left, the

MCP1601 device is in a low quiescent current SHDN mode and the output is disabled.

MCP1601 Evaluation Board

1.2.4 Selecting the Operating Mode - Using Switch U3, Position 2

The multi-function SYNC/PWM pin on the MCP1601 is used to set the operating mode

of the device. The three operating modes are:

• Automatic switching from PFM Mode to PWM mode and back

• Synchronization to external Oscillator

• Fixed Frequency Forced PWM Mode

To select automatic PFM/PWM mode:

• Slide switch U3, position 2 to the left or off position. While operating in this mode,

the MCP1601 device will automatically select the most efficient operating mode

by approximating the load current internally.

To synchronize the MCP1601 switching frequency to an external oscillator:

• Slide switch U3, position 2 to the left. Connect the external oscillator to the

SYNC/PWM test point located directly below switch U3and the AGND test point.

See the MCP1601 datasheet (DS21762) for external clock specifications. When

synchronizing to an external oscillator, the MCP1601 will operate in the fixed

frequency mode at the same frequency as the external oscillator.

To select fixed frequency mode that operates off of the 750 kHz internal oscillator:

• Slide switch U3, position 2 to the right or “on” position. This will tie the SYNC/PWM

pin high and force PWM operation from the internal oscillator, making the

MCP1601 device independent of external load conditions.

1.2.5 Selecting the MCP1601 output voltage

Switch U2is used to select the output voltage. Refer to Table 1-1 to choose one of the

pre-selected output voltages.

TABLE 1-1: SWITCH SETTINGS FOR PRE-SELECTED OUTPUT

VOLTAGES

The output voltage for the MCP1601 device is determined by using the following for-

mula.

1.3 TEST POINTS

1.3.1 /SHDN

The /SHDN or shutdown test point can be used to monitor the level of the shutdown pin

or as an input to the shutdown pin of the MCP1601 device. With switch U3, position 1

in the “off” position, a 1 MΩresistor will pull the pin low.

1.3.2 SYNC/PWM

The SYNC/PWM pin can be used to monitor the level of the SYNC/PWM pin or as an

input to the MCP1601 device. With switch U3, position 2 in the “off” position, a 1 MΩ

resistor will pull the pin low.

To synchronize to an external oscillator:

• With switch U3, position 2 in the off position, connect the external oscillator to the

SYNC/PWM test point.

1.3.3 AGND

The analog ground or AGND can be used as a quiet ground connection. When using the

external oscillator synchronization function, connect the return or ground of the external

oscillator to the AGND test point.
