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.

Features & benefits:
