New from Farnell -The dsPICDEM SMPS Buck development board
The dsPICDEM SMPS Buck development board provides an easy and economical way to evaluate the dsPIC30F202x/1010 SMPS & Digital Power Conversion family of components. This provides an educational and prototyping platform to investigate digital power conversion and digital Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) design.
The board includes a socketed dsPIC30F2020 device connected to power devices and circuitry for controlling dual independent low power DC to DC Synchronous Buck Converter circuits as well as support, debug, and communication circuitry.
