Our Switching Converter Building Block Solution (BBS) is a modular evaluation platform featuring seven independent sub-boards designed for fast, hands-on DC-DC topology comparison and electrical validation.

In this video, we break down the board architecture and highlight key Microchip regulators in action:

Step-Up (Boost): MCP16251 & MCP16411 (low-voltage, battery-powered systems)

Step-Down (Buck): MCP16311 & MCP16331 (high efficiency for industrial & embedded rails)

High-Voltage Boost: MCP1663 (stable 12V and 24V outputs)

LED Driver: MCP164 (constant current regulation)

Bridge the gap between datasheet specs and real-world behavior to accelerate your power supply design.
