Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The MCP1630 Automotive Input Triple Output Converter Demo Board demonstrates
Microchip's high speed pulse width modulator (PWM) used for Automotive application.
When used in conjunction with a microcontroller, the MCP1630 will control the power
system duty cycle to provide regulated output voltage. The PIC12F683 microcontroller
is used to provide oscillator pulses at switching frequency of 250 kHz and set maximum
duty cycle. The MCP1630 generates duty cycle based on various external inputs.
External signals include the input oscillator pulses from PIC12F683, the reference
voltage and the feed back voltage. The output signal is a square-wave pulse given to
drive the MOSFET.
The PIC12F683 microcontroller is programmable, allowing the user to modify or
develop their own firmware routines to further evaluate the MCP1630 in this
application.
