About this course

This class covers the entire process of creating a digitally controlled synchronous buck power supply based on the Microchip dsPIC33CK MCU. The design process utilizes Microchip’s Digital Power Design ecosystem which consists of the Digital Power Starter Kit 3 (DPSK3) EVK, MPLAB® X IDE, XC16 Compiler, Microchip Code Configurator (MCC) and the recently released MPLAB® PowerSmart™ Digital Control Library Designer (DCLD). The class is designed such that attendees with DPSK3 hardware can follow along during each step of the design process. Some prior knowledge of digital and analog control theory and C programming will be helpful but is not required to complete the class.
