How Does The Step Down 5 Click Board™Work?
The Step Down 5 Click Board™ is based on the TPS628510, a synchronous step-down converter from Texas Instruments, providing interface-configurable output voltage range from 0.6V to 5.5V suitable for point-of-load and post-regulation applications. This synchronous switch mode power converter is based on a peak current mode control topology and achieves fast and stable operation with an internally compensated control loop. It provides up to 0.5A load current over a wide input supply range from 2.7V to 6V and has excellent load and line regulation. In addition, it is characterized by high efficiency over a wide range of load output voltage from 0.6V to 5.5V, which can be easily adjusted using a digital potentiometer, the MCP4661 from Microchip.
The TPS628510 supports forced fixed frequency PWM operation with the MD pin of the mikroBUS™ socket set to a high logic level. Its switching frequency is internally fixed at 2.25MHz. When the MD pin is set to a low logic level, the TPS628510 operates in power save mode (PFM) at a low output current and automatically transfers to fixed-frequency PWM mode at a higher output current. In PFM mode, the switching frequency decreases linearly based on the load to sustain high efficiency down to a very low output current. Alternatively, the TPS628510 can be synchronized to an external clock signal from 1.8MHz to 4MHz, applied to the MD pin. An internal PLL allows you to change from an internal clock to an external clock during operation.
Besides the operational mode selection pin, this Click board™ also has a power-good function routed to the PG pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, indicating that the output reached desired regulation and the possibility for the MCP4661 to choose the least significant bit (LSB) of its I2C slave address by positioning SMD jumpers labelled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 and 1.
The Step Down 5 Click Board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
