Buck & Boost Click is a compact add-on board that contains a configurable power management device. This board features the MIC7401, a highly-integrated power-management IC featuring five synchronous buck regulators, one boost regulator, and a high-speed I2C interface with an internal EEPROM memory from Microchip.
We provide a library for the BucknBoost Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for BucknBoost Click driver.
bucknboost_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. bucknboost_init
Initialization function. bucknboost_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function. bucknboost_set_buck_out_voltage
This function sets the output voltage of a desired buck channel. bucknboost_set_boost_out_voltage
This function sets the output voltage of the boost channel (CH6). bucknboost_get_status
This function reads Power Good, EEPROM, and Overcurrent status registers. This application demonstrates the use of Buck n Boost click board.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and sets the click default configuration. The default config enables the click board and limits the current of all outputs to 1100mA. It also sets the default voltages of all channels which are the following: OUT1 - 1.8V, OUT2 - 1.1V, OUT3 - 1.8V, OUT4 - 1.05V, OUT5 - 1.25V, OUT6 - 12V
Iterates through the entire range of Buck voltages for Buck 1 output starting from the maximal output. It also checks the Power Good and Overcurrent status. All data is being displayed on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
