C2000Ware Digital Power SDK  5.03.00.00
TIDM-DC-DC-BUCK - DC-DC Synchronous Buck Converter

Table of Contents

← Back to Reference Designs Overview

Target Applications

  • Learning digital power control with a BoosterPack

Features & Specification

  • Full synchronous buck converter DC-DC power stage
  • Accepts 9VDC input voltage
  • Variable output DC voltage
  • Dynamic load support
  • Voltage Mode Control (VMC) and Peak Current Mode Control (PCMC) examples
  • Compatible with F280049C LaunchPad

Description

The Digital Power Buck Converter BoosterPack (BOOSTXL-BUCKCONV) provides an introductory platform for learning the basics of digital power control. When paired with a C2000™ F280049C LaunchPad, this BoosterPack demonstrates a full buck converter control system.

The BoosterPack implements a synchronous buck power stage that converts an externally supplied 9VDC power supply to a configurable DC output voltage. On-board power resistors provide static and dynamic loads.
