WHAT THE MCP1650 BOOST CONTROLLER EVALUATION BOARD IS

The MCP1650 Boost Controller Evaluation Board is used to evaluate and demonstrate

Microchip Technology’s MCP1650/51/52/53 Boost Controller product family. This

board uses the MCP1650/51/52/53 in two high-power, boost-converter applications.

The first application features the MCP1651 (8-pin MSOP) with the low battery detect

feature. The input voltage for the MCP1651 application is 2.8V to 4.8V, with the output

boosted to 5V. The second application uses the MCP1653 (10-pin MSOP), which

features both the low battery detect and power good features. The input voltage for this

application is 3.3V, with the output boosted to 12V.
