The MCP1601EV is a development board specifically designed for evaluation of the popular MCP1601 IC. The current dual boost and buck converter IC is used in many power conversion applications, such as DC/DC and AC/DC (Off-Line) SMPSs. This evaluation board offers executives, engineers and hobbyists a quick and easy means of testing and evaluating the performance of the MCP1601 IC.

The MCP1601 is a high-efficiency pulse-width modulated (PWM) controller IC designed to regulate the output voltage of a switched-mode power supply (SMPS). It supports both boost and buck topologies, and features an on-board linear regulator allowing a wide input voltage input range. The IC also integrates a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) feature that allows spread spectrum modulation of its PWM frequency, making it an ideal choice for low-noise, AC-DC power conversion applications.

The MCP1601EV development board supports input voltages up to 40V, and offers a single output voltage of 0.5V to 15V. It also includes two external connections that allow engineers to evaluate the performance of the IC in both boost and buck topologies. With a maximum output current of 7A, the board can easily be used to evaluate the MCP1601 in a wide range of applications.

The switching frequency of the MCP1601 can be adjusted or programmed with a default value of 2MHz, giving users the flexibility to optimize the application requirements of the particular application being evaluated. The on-chip protection features of the MCP1601, such as under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis, constant current protection (OCP) and thermal shutdown with hysteresis (TSD), are also accessible via the on-board header connectors.

One of the biggest benefits of the MCP1601EV is its integrated gate driver and gate drive circuitry. The board includes all the necessary bias and control circuitry for driving and controlling the MOSFETs. This removes the need for external drivers and eliminates the complexity of designing the required circuits, reducing the cost of the evaluation board. The board also includes an on-board RS-232 port which allows for direct communication with the IC for control and monitoring.

Overall, the MCP1601EV Development Board is a powerful, yet cost-effective, tool for evaluating the high-efficiency dual boost and buck converter IC, MCP1601. It provides users with a quick and easy way to test and evaluate the IC, and is well suited for DC/DC and AC/DC (Off-Line) SMPS applications. It can also be used in applications that require low-noise power conversion solutions.
