A low forward drop Schottky diode is used for free-wheeling diode D. The average
diode current is calculated using
. Based on these calculations, a
MBRA140T3G Schottky diode is selected.
EQUATION C-5:
A standard 1N4148 ultra-fast diode for boost diode D
B
was selected based on
recommendations from the
“MCP16301/H High-Voltage Input Integrated Switch
Step-Down Regulator Data Sheet”
(DS20005004). For more information about the

+3.3V Output Power Supply
The second stage of the power supply has the following specifications:
• Input Voltage = +5.0V
• Output Voltage 1 (+3.3V and +3.3 VA) = +3.3V
The MCP1826 LDO is used for generating the +3.3V output. The input of the +3.3V
LDO is the output of the +5V Converter. In the Motor Control Board, digital 3.3V
and analog 3.3 VA (see
) are separated by the jumper resistor R15.
Similarly, Digital Ground (DGND) and Analog Ground (AGND) are separated by the
jumper resistor R19. This is done to logically divide supply lines to analog and digital
circuits during the board layout design.
