The STEVAL-3603BC1 evaluation board demonstrates a synchronous step-down converter design able to deliver up to 3A output current from a 3.3V to 36V input, with a 5V output voltage. The board uses the DCP3603BCMR in the thin SOT23-6L package and shows how efficient conversion can be achieved using the converter, an inductor, two small capacitors, and two resistors. It is suitable for power conversion in major appliances, smart metering, industrial 24V bus conversion, and general-purpose wide Vin power supplies.
