NCP1013ADAPGEVB

NCP1013ADAPGEVB is an Evaluation Board specifically designed for use in off-line switching mode power supply (SMPS) applications. It enables the rapid prototyping and evaluation of power supplies with an on-board NCP1013 high voltage, step-down controller switch for regulating DC/DC and AC/DC operations. The evaluation board is an ideal choice for developing and optimizing SMPS products quickly and conveniently.

The NCP1013ADAPGEVB includes a prototyping area with wide traces and multiple SMD footprints for ease of use with power components such as inductors and capacitors. The evaluation board is also equipped with the NCP1013AQFN packaged controller switch suitable for high voltage switching power supplies. This board provides feedback parameters such as current and voltage through a 20-bit CMOS DAC interface on the NCP1013 controller switch, enabling precise monitoring of switching parameters. The wide range of high voltage components enables the NCP1013ADAPGEVB to be used in a variety of off-line power supply applications.

NCP1013ADAPGEVB works on the principle of buck switching, where a high input-voltage is regulated down to a lower voltage level with high efficiency. This type of power supply is often used in applications where a stable and reliable output voltage is required. The board itself is designed to achieve high efficiency switching in the range of 2.5V to 5.5V, with peak-to-peak output voltage ripple of less than 30mV, and output current of up to 10A. The NCP1013ADAPGEVB provides a user-friendly graphical interface to adjust the regulation level, and offers the capability to easily set the associated compensation parameters. It is also possible to adjust the peak current limit of the NCP1013, allowing for current-limited power supply designs.

The NCP1013ADAPGEVB has been designed to enable users to rapidly evaluate and develop prototypes for off-line power supply applications. It is also suitable for use in medical equipment, industrial control systems, automotive applications, and other off-line switching applications. With its wide range of components, this evaluation board offers a highly versatile and cost-effective solution for testing and optimization of off-line power supplies.
