The MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board (ADM00352) is designed to operate from a 4V to 30V input and regulate the output to 3.3V while delivering 600 mA of load current. Test points for input power and load are provided to demonstrate the capability of the demo board over the entire range. The MCP16301 600 mA Demo Board was designed using small surface-mount components to show application size for a high voltage 600 mA design.

 The MCP16301 is a highly integrated, high-efficiency, fixed frequency, step-down DC-DC converter in a popular 6-pin SOT-23 package that operates from input voltage sources up to 30V. Integrated features include a high side switch, fixed frequency Peak Current Mode Control, internal compensation, peak current limit and over temperature protection. Minimal external components are necessary to develop a complete step-down DC-DC converter power supply.

Applications: PIC/dsPIC Microcontroller Bias Supply, 24V Industrial Input DC-DC Conversion, Set-Top Boxes, DSL Cable Modems, Automotive, Wall Cube Regulation, SLA Battery-Powered Devices, AC-DC Digital Control Power Source, Power Meters, Consumer, Medical and Health Care, Distributed Power Supplies
