PI3318-01-EVAL1

The PI3318-01-EVAL1 evaluation board is an off-line DC/DC & AC/DC Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) evaluation board. It features an input voltage of 24 Volts and an output voltage of 12 Volts with a capability of up to 10A (120W). It is suitable for laboratory, industrial, and residential applications.

The board has a special feature called the Power Snail, an advanced switch mode topology providing excellent dynamic range and low noise characteristics. The board also has an extensive set of stability and protection features to protect against thermal runaway, over/under voltage lockout, and current limiting.

The PI3318-01-EVAL1 is an ideal platform for designing applications that require high efficiency and high power. With its low cost and small size, it is suitable for various applications, including power converters for automotive electronics, automotive chargers, power inverters, and industrial power supplies.

The working principle of the PI3318-01-EVAL1 is based on switch-mode power conversion technology. The board utilizes a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) technique, controlling the energy transfer from the input source to the load. This topology is highly efficient, as it allows for a rapid transfer of power without compromising efficiency. It also has a low switching frequency, reducing power losses and overall power consumption.

The PI3318-01-EVAL1 includes a number of features and components that optimize the performance of the board, such as a built-in resistor divider for input voltage monitoring, voltage loop compensation network for current regulation and stability, gate driver circuit, and a built-in snubber circuit. The board also has an adjustable output current limit and an adjustable line voltage compensation circuit.

The PI3318-01-EVAL1 is an efficient, cost-effective, and fully integrated switching platform for designing applications with high power and high efficiency. With its low cost and small size, it is suitable for many applications, including automotive electronics, power converters, automotive chargers, power inverters, and industrial power supplies.
