The STEVAL-3601CV1 demonstrates a smart converter design able to deliver up to 1A output current from a 3.3 to 36V input, with a 5V output voltage. The board features the DCP3601 miniaturized synchronous step-down converter, which implements enhanced peak current control and advanced design circuitry to minimize quiescent current. The board demonstrates how highly efficient conversion can be achieved with just the DCP3601, an inductor, two small capacitors, and two resistors.
The board highlights key application benefits made possible by the DCP3601, including high efficiency and small PCB size, and is ideal for power conversion solutions in major appliances, smart metering, industrial 24V BUS conversion and general-purpose wide power supplies.
