Softei & Microchip MPLAB Starter Kit for Digital Power

Win a Microchip MPLAB Starter Kit for Digital Power (DM330017-2) from Softei and if you don’t win, receive a 20% off voucher, plus free shipping for one of these boards.

The MPLAB Starter Kit for Digital Power uses the dsPIC33EP64GS502 DSC to implement a buck converter and a boost converter. It is a digitally controlled power supply board that consists of one independent DC/DC synchronous Buck converter and one independent DC/DC Boost converter. Each converter can drive its on-board MOSFET controlled resistive load or an external load. The board has an LCD display for voltage, current, temperature and fault conditions, and an integrated programmer/debugger, all powered by the included 9 V power supply.

Microchip’s dsPIC33EPXXGS50X is a SMPS and Digital Power Conversion Digital Signal Controller. This device offers features supporting common, multi-loop digital switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and other digital power-conversion applications such as AC to DC and DC to DC Converters.

The dsPIC33EP 'GS' family delivers the performance needed to implement more sophisticated non-linear, predictive and adaptive control algorithms at higher switching frequencies in digital power applications. These advanced algorithms enable power supply designs that are more energy efficient and have better power supply specifications. Higher switching frequencies enable the development of physically smaller power supplies that offer higher densities and lower costs.

Highlights

Using high-precision architectures enables superior DC performance, regardless of operating conditions
Low noise and additional EMI filtering on the inputs provide additional protection in electrically noisy environments
Small packages, such as leadless DFNs, are ideal for space-constrained designs
A wide operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C provides a robust solution even at extreme temperatures

Microchip Instrumentation Amplifier with mCAL Technology

The MCP6N11 and MCP6V2x Wheatstone Bridge Reference Design demonstrates the performance of Microchip's MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier (INA) and a traditional three op amp INA using Microchip's MCP6V26 and MCP6V27 auto-zeroed op amps. The input signal comes from an RTD temperature sensor in a Wheatstone bridge. Real world interference is added to the bridge's output, to provide realistic performance comparisons. Data is gathered and displayed on a PC, for ease of use. The USB PIC® microcontroller and included Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the means to configure the board and collect sample data.
