SMPS and Digital Power Conversion Solutions

Self contained SMPS solutions and rich peripherals of Microchip's dsPIC - digital power devices enable engineers to design solutions that do not require much in the way of external support chips. Thus, when using the dsPIC DSC SMPS solution, developers can obtain a 20% reduction in component count over other solutions. In addition to space and cost-saving features, the dsPIC DSC SMPS solution has special features that enable advanced power conversion. Included among these features is an intelligent power peripheral. Independent PWM, ADC, and analog comparator peripherals form the intelligent power peripheral via an internal configurable control fabric that enables them to interact directly with one another.

AC164133 - buck / boost converter PICtail™ plus daughter board provides an easy and economical development platform for dsPIC SMPS and digital power conversion family DSCs which are designed to provide low-cost and efficient control for wide range of power supply topologies.

DM240001 - the Explorer 16 is a low cost, efficient development board to evaluate the features and performance of Microchip's new PIC24 Microcontroller, the dsPIC33 digital signal controller (DSC) families, and the new 32-bit PIC32MX devices. Coupled with the MPLAB ICD 2 in circuit debugger or MPLAB REAL ICE, real-time emulation and debug facilities speed evaluation and prototyping of application circuitry.

DM300027 - this low-cost, 16-bit, 28-pin starter development board supports 28-dsPIC digital signal controller (DSC) devices or pin PIC24 microcontrollers. This board is an ideal prototyping tool to help validate key design requirements using these DSCs and microcontrollers.
