Microchip MCP1631

Description

The MCP1631/MCP1631V is a high-speed analog pulse width modulator (PWM) used to develop intelligent power systems. When combined with amicrocontroller, the MCP1631/MCP1631V will control the power system duty cycle providing output voltage or current regulation. The microcontroller can be used to adjust output voltage or current, switching frequency and maximum duty cycle while providing additionalfeatures making the power system more intelligent, robust and adaptable.Typical applications for the MCP1631/MCP1631V include programmable switch mode battery chargers capable of charging multiple chemistries, like Li-Ion, NiMH, NiCd and Pb-Acid configured as single or multiple cells. By combining with a smallmicrocontroller, intelligent LED lighting designs andprogrammable SEPIC topology voltage and currentsources can also be developed.The MCP1631/MCP1631V inputs were developed tobe attached to the I/O pins of a microcontroller fordesign flexibility. Additional features integrated into theMCP1631HV/MCP1631VHV provide signal conditioningand protection features for battery charger orconstant current source applications.For applications that operate from a high voltage input,the MCP1631HV and MCP1631VHV device optionscan be used to operate directly from a +3.5V to +16Vinput. For these applications, an additional low drop out+5V or +3.3V regulated output is available and canprovide current up to 250 mA to power a microcontrollerand auxiliary circuits.
