Features and usage notes

Schematic also available in PDF [6]

The LM371 IC is a reliable regulator with typical line regulation of and load regulation of It also has internal short-circuit current limiting and thermal overload protection.

The circuit regulates voltage by turning all input/output difference into heat effectively dissipating all the excess power . If it gets too hot it may damage the board or cause unexpected behaviour.

Because of that, the board’s operating range is defined by two factors. 1 maximum input voltage and current should not exceed 20V/1A and 2 maximum wattage arising from current and I/O voltage difference should not exceed 2W, measured as I x Input V - Output

The board also carries a MOSFET chip to toggle the output on and off.

VREG click

VREG click communicates with the target board MCU through the SPI interface CS, SCK, MISO, MOSI . The board can use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply. It is also possible to use the board’s power supply as the Input, by resoldering the onboard INPUT SEL jumper.

Programming

This code checks if the output value is equal to the desired set_value. If it is not, it sets the desired value and sends it to the DAC of the VREG click, which then sets the output voltage to the desired value.

if output < set_value
