General Description
The MCP1631/MCP1631V is a high-speed microcon-
troller based pulse width modulator (PWM) used to
develop intelligent power systems. When combined
with a microcontroller, the MCP1631/MCP1631V will
control the power system duty cycle providing output
voltage or current regulation. The microcontroller can
be used to adjust output voltage or current, switching
frequency and maximum duty cycle while providing
additional features making the power system more
intelligent, robust and adaptable.
Typical applications for the MCP1631/MCP1631V
include programmable switch mode battery chargers
capable of charging multiple chemistries, like Li-Ion,
NiMH, NiCd and Pb-Acid configured as single or
multiple cells. By combining with a small microcontrol-
ler, intelligent LED lighting designs and programmable
SEPIC topology voltage and current sources can also
be developed.
The MCP1631/MCP1631V inputs were developed to
be attached to the I/O pins of a microcontroller for
design flexibility. Additional features integrated into the
MCP1631HV/MCP1631VHV provide signal condition-
ing and protection features for battery charger or
constant current source applications.
For applications that operate from a high voltage input,
the MCP1631HV and MCP1631VHV device options
can be used to operate directly from a +3.5V to +16V
input. For these applications, an additional low drop out
+5V or +3.3V regulated output is available and can
provide current up to 250 mA to power a microcontrol-
ler and auxiliary circuits.
Applications
• High Input Voltage Programmable Switching
Battery Chargers
• Supports Multiple Chemistries Li-Ion, NiMH, NiCd
Intelligent and Pb-Acid
• LED Lighting Applications
• Constant Current SEPIC Power Train Design
• USB Input Programmable Switching Battery

) rise and fall times between 10 ns and 10 µs were determined during device
characterization testing. Signal levels between 0.8V and 2.0V with rise and fall times measured between 10% and 90%
of maximum and minimum values. Not production tested. Additional timing specifications were fully characterized and
specified that are not production tested.

Load regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in output
voltage due to heating effects are determined using thermal regulation specification TCV

.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its measured
value with an applied input voltage of V
