Reference designs from Microchip offer digital techniques that help designers optimize requirements quickly and easily.
Two new digitally controlled DC/DC converter reference designs are now available from Microchip Technology for the Quarter Brick DC/DC Converter and the DC/DC LLC Converter.
The designs come with advanced, high-efficiency topologies and complete documentation: software, Gerber files, MATLAB models, Webinars, and application notes. Documentation can be downloaded for free from Microchip’s website at http://www.microchip.com/get/BRN2.
DC/DC converter designers are faced with a number of challenges to optimize contrasting requirements in the design process, including efficiency, power density, and cost. Reference designs from Microchip offer digital techniques that help designers optimize requirements quickly and easily.
The designs are also applicable to a diverse set of end products in both board-mounted and external DC/DC converters in the server, telecom, industrial, medical, and aerospace markets.

Both reference designs are implemented using Microchip’s dsPIC33F ‘GS’ series of digital-power Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), which provide fully digital control of the power-conversion and system-management functions. As demonstrated in these reference designs, the dsPIC33F ‘GS’ DSCs allow designers to easily and cost effectively create products using advanced topologies, such as LLC resonant, which lower switching losses and boost efficiencies as high as 95 percent.
