Power management controller

6 March 2013 Power Electronics / Power Management

Microchip recently announced the MCP19111, a digitally-enhanced power analog controller, as well as the expansion of its high-speed MOSFET family, with the new MCP87018, MCP87030, MCP87090 and MCP87130. Rated at 25 V, these 1,8 mΩ, 3 mΩ, 9 mΩ and 13 mΩ logic-level MOSFETs are optimised for switched-mode power supply (SMPS) applications.

The combination of the hybrid, digital and analog power management device, and the expanded MCP87XXX family of low figure of merit (FOM) MOSFETs, supports configurable, high-efficiency DC/DC power-conversion designs for a broad array of consumer and industrial applications.

The MCP19111 operates across a wide voltage range of 4,5 to 32 V and offers increased flexibility over conventional analog-based solutions. It offers a hybrid, mixed-signal power management controller, integrating an analog-based PWM controller with a fully functional Flash-based microcontroller.

This integration offers the flexibility of a digital solution, with the speed, performance and resolution of an analog-based controller. The MCP19111 devices have integrated MOSFET drivers configured for synchronous step-down applications.

The MCP19111 Evaluation Board (ADM00397) also includes Microchip’s high-speed MOSFETs and is available now. This evaluation board is offered with standard firmware, which is user-configurable through an MPLAB X IDE GUI plug-in.
