Microchip Technology MCP16364 Evaluation Board

Microchip Technology MCP16364 Evaluation Board demonstrates the features of the MCP16364 step-down DC-DC converters. The MCP16364 converters can operate in Pulse Frequency Modulation/Pulse Width Modulation (PFM/PWM) mode. These converters supply 1A of continuous current while regulating the output voltage from 2V to 24V. This evaluation board requires the use of an external laboratory power supply and load. The MCP16364 evaluation board is used in wall cube regulation, power meters, distributed power supplies, set-top boxes, and DSL cable modems applications.
