The EV163-S-00A evaluation board is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of MP163. The MP163 is a primary-side, constant voltage regulator providing accurate constant voltage (CV) regulation without an opto-coupler. It supports buck, buck-boost, boost, and flyback topologies. The EV163-S-00A evaluation board is designed as a buck application. The EV163-S-00A typically drives a 12V/200mA, 5V/50mA output from 85VAC to265VAC, at 60/50Hz.

The EV163-S-00A has excellent efficiency, and meets 1kV IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity and EN55022 conducted EMI requirements. The MP163 features various protections, including thermal shutdown (TSD), VCC under-voltage lockout (UVLO), overload protection (OLP), short-circuit protection (SCP), and open-loop protection.

The MP163 is available in SOIC8-7B and SOIC-16 packages.

This board is built with the MP163CGS-5. It can be used for evaluation of the whole MP163 SOIC8-7 package family with simple drop-in replacement.
