Digital Power Supply Applications/Reference Design

Teach Me

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCD3138

Hi TI Experts,

For the TI digital power supply, is there any reference design available?

The specifications required as below:

- Output power >18W

- Able to generate +/- supply (+/-12V in this case)

I came across the UCD3138. May i know is there any starter kit or evaluation board available?

For microchip, they does have the Digital Power Supply Starter Kit

- dsPIC33F family

Your advice is appreciated

Thanks,

Br,

    Normally we would not recommend the UCD3138 family for an 18W 12 volt supply unless you have needs for isolation, control, monitoring, and/or efficiency. If you can tell us what your input voltage is and whether you need special isolation, control, monitoring and/or efficiency, or if you just want to learn digital power, we may be able to give you some guidance. You can do up to 4 rails with the UCD3138 in buck/boost mode, but we don't have an EVM for those applications.

    At 18 W, depending on your input voltage, you may be able to get a configurable but preprogrammed chip with integrated switches, making your parts and system costs much lower than with either the UCD or the Microchip. I don't know enough about those to know what to recommend, if that is what you need.
