Professionals focused on digital systems will also find it very useful, as it integrates the PMBus™ communication option. Furthermore, it supports any power topology, such as voltage, current, or custom control.
The development of this kit was carried out in collaboration with Biricha Digital, who designed the buck converter board using DesignSpark PCB, and Würth Elektronik, who offers best-in-class connectors and passive components, including high-performance inductors and capacitors suitable for digital power control applications.
Ideal for industrial applications, the kit provides power control solutions by offering two control board options (XMC1300 and XMC4200); moreover, it is compatible with DAVE™, the development platform for XMC microcontrollers.
The kit's main board includes a synchronous DC/DC buck transformer with built-in resistive load banks, which can be connected at 10%, 55%, or 100% of the maximum load. This facilitates testing the transient response and control loop quality under different load conditions, such as continuous conduction versus discontinuous conduction mode.
