device in a step-down application. The evaluation board is a fully functional platform to evaluate the MCP1603 buck regulator over its entire input voltage, output voltage, and current range.</p> <p>The MCP1603 is a high efficiency fully integrated 500 mA 2.0 MHz synchronous buck regulator ideally suited for Li-Ion/NiMH Battery powered application powered. At heavy loads, the MCP1603 operates in the 2.0 MHz fixed frequency PWM mode which provides a low noise, low output ripple, small-size solution. When the load is reduced to light levels, the MCP1603 automatically changes operation to a PFM mode to minimize quiescent current draw from the battery. No intervention is necessary for a smooth transition from one mode to another. These two modes of operation allow the MCP1603 to achieve the highest efficiency over the entire operating current range.</p> <p><strong>Applications: </strong> Cellular Telephones, Portable Computers, Organizers / PDAs, USB Powered Devices, Digital Cameras, Portable Equipment, +5V or +3.3V Distributed Systems, Headsets</p> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul id="ctl00_ctl00_PageContent_SubPageContent_dtFeaturesText" class="prepend-top"> <li>Compact size and low profile 500 mA converter design</li> <li>Wide input voltage range: 2.7V to 5.5V</li> <li>Five different output voltage setting: 0.8V, 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V</li> <li>Test points for connecting input voltage source and external load</li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li>Demo Board</li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Data Sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/22042B.pdf" target="_blank">MCP1603 Datasheet (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Selection Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50001894D.pdf" target="_blank">Quick Guide to Microchip Development Tools (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">User Manual/Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/51652a.pdf" target="_blank">MCP1603 Buck Converter Evaluation Board (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Schematics/Layout Files</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/00133R1_Gerbers.zip" target="_blank">MCP1603 Buck Converter Evaluation Board Gerbers (zip)</a> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: buck converter, microchip, power_management, MCP1603, stepdown_buck_regulator, analog_demo_boards</div>
