The NCP3163BUCKEVB is a complete evaluation board for a high current buck converter, targeted for voltage step down. The evaluation board allows designers to better understand the capabilities, features and specifications of the NCP3163 buck controller. This evaluation board contains everything users need for quick evaluation of the host controller, freeing them up to explore DC or AC to DC buck converter solutions.

The NCP3163BUCKEVB is designed with SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) technology. It is an efficient power conversion system designed for voltage step down. SMPS converters switch energy between the input and output stages rather than using linear regulators. This switching action is more efficient, resulting in higher performance.

The NCP3163BUCKEVB board is a user-friendly board that includes all of the components needed for evaluation. It includes a NCP3163 buck controller, a power LED, a critical output capacitor and resistor, and a dedicated buck converter power inductor. The NCP3163 also requires an external resistor divider network on the output and a pass-through current sense resistor. The evaluation board is designed to be connected to the 12V power source.

The working principle of NCP3163BUCKEVB is based on a buck converter. This type of converter converts a higher voltage to a lower voltage by using an inductor, switch, and high frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller. In a buck converter, energy is stored in an inductor as it is charging up and then released instantaneously through the switch when the PWM controller turns off the switch, as opposed to a linear regulator which is always dissipating energy when it is regulating a voltage. This type of conversion allows for power delivery with very high efficiency, with a simple design.

The NCP3163BUCKEVB uses the PWM controller to regulate a feedback voltage based on the external resistor divider network. When the power switch is closed, the device charges the inductor and while the switch is open, energy stored in the inductor will be released and forced into the output. A high frequency compensator monitors the output voltage and provides a reference to the PWM controller, and the PWM controller, in turn, regulates the duty-cycle, thus controlling the output voltage.

Originally designed for use in the automotive industry due to its high efficiency, the NCP3163BUCKEVB is also used in areas such as consumer electronics, communications equipment, industrial applications, and power supplies. The NCP3163 can be used to power multiple constellations at the same time by using a single inductor, thus making it ideal for many portable applications. In summary, the NCP3163BUCKEVB is a high efficiency, easy to use SMPS evaluation board that can be used to power multiple output loads at the same time.
