2.4 Test Modes
The CIP Hybrid Power Starter Kit has four different test modes. These modes can be programmed to the microcontroller either through drag-and-drop programming or using the MPLAB X IDE.
| Test Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Open loop | Runs the board in open loop using only PWM and COG peripherals |
| Open loop with current limit | Runs the board in open loop using PWM, COG, CMP, PRG and FVR peripherals |
| Peak current mode control (PCMC) | Runs the synchronous buck converter in PCMC closed loop |
| Voltage mode control (VMC) | Runs the synchronous buck converter in VMC closed loop |
