1.4 Hardware Description
The MCPF1412M06 evaluation board is a four-layer board with 2 oz. copper on all layers. The board measures 100 mm x 100 mm, providing convenient handling for laboratory use. Test points are strategically located near the relevant circuitry to facilitate accurate measurement of input and output voltages, which is essential for efficiency evaluations, as shown in Figure 1-2.
Serial bus communication can be monitored using TP7 (“SCL”) and TP8 (“SDA”), which are located near J4, the connection point for the optional MCP2221A breakout module. The EN pin can be externally controlled via test points TP21 and TP22, labeled “EN”.
