BUCK 6 Click

BUCK 6 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Example Description

BUCK 6 Click is an advanced synchronous DC-DC step down (buck) converter, with a very wide input voltage range and reasonably high output current.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.BUCK6

Example Key Functions

• buck6_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void buck6_cfg_setup ( buck6_cfg_t *cfg );

• buck6_init Initialization function.

err_t buck6_init ( buck6_t *ctx, buck6_cfg_t *cfg );

• buck6_get_rst Gets reset.

uint8_t buck6_get_rst ( buck6_t *ctx  );

• buck6_set_mode Set mode.

void buck6_set_mode ( buck6_t *ctx, uint8_t mode );

• buck6_set_max_voltage Set maximum voltage.

void buck6_set_max_voltage ( buck6_t *ctx, uint8_t voltage );

Application Init

Initialization Driver init and settings chip on ACTIVE mode and setting the maximum range to 5V.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    buck6_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );

    //  Click initialization.

    buck6_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    BUCK6_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    buck6_init( &buck6, &cfg );
}

Application Task

Sets the different ranges of the maximum voltage.

void application_task ( void )
{
    buck6_set_max_voltage( &buck6, BUCK6_MAX_RANGE_2500mV );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    buck6_set_max_voltage( &buck6, BUCK6_MAX_RANGE_5000mV );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    buck6_set_max_voltage( &buck6, BUCK6_MAX_RANGE_7500mV );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    buck6_set_max_voltage( &buck6, BUCK6_MAX_RANGE_10000mV );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    buck6_set_max_voltage( &buck6, BUCK6_MAX_RANGE_7500mV );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    buck6_set_max_voltage( &buck6, BUCK6_MAX_RANGE_5000mV );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}
 

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
