Hardware Overview
How does it work?
MIC24045 Click is based on the MIC24045, an I2C-programmable, high-efficiency, wide input range, 5A synchronous step-down regulator from Microchip. This Click board™ is designed to run on either 3.3V or 5V power supply. It communicates with the target microcontroller over the I2C interface with additional functionality provided by the following pins on the mikroBUS™ line: RST, INT. The MIC24045 is a digitally programmable, 5A valley current-mode controlled regulator
featuring an input voltage range from 4.5V to 19V. The MIC24045 is ideally suited for multiple voltage rail application environments, typically found in computing and telecommunication systems. The MIC24045 has thermal shutdown protection that prevents operation at excessive temperatures. The MIC24045 features a Thermal Warning flag readable through the I2C interface (register polling is needed). The Thermal Warning flag signals the approach of the thermal shutdown so that
appropriate system-level countermeasures can be undertaken. This Click board™ is designed to lower the voltage on the input from 4.5V-19V to 0.64V-5.25V. The same voltage is used for powering the MCP24045 IC (TB1 and TB2 connectors). The voltage on the mikroBUS™ I2C pin can be either 3.3V or 5V, depending on the jumper position. The selected mikroBUS™ power supply is used only for the pull-ups on I2C lines.
Features overview
Development board
Nucleo 32 with STM32F031K6 MCU board provides an affordable and flexible platform for experimenting with STM32 microcontrollers in 32-pin packages. Featuring Arduino™ Nano connectivity, it allows easy expansion with specialized shields, while being mbed-enabled for seamless integration with online resources. The
board includes an on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer, supporting USB reenumeration with three interfaces: Virtual Com port, mass storage, and debug port. It offers a flexible power supply through either USB VBUS or an external source. Additionally, it includes three LEDs (LD1 for USB communication, LD2 for power,
and LD3 as a user LED) and a reset push button. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board is supported by various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IAR™, Keil®, and GCC-based IDEs like AC6 SW4STM32, making it a versatile tool for developers.

* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of MIC24045 click board.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and enables the voltage output.
*
* ## Application Task
* Changes the voltage output every 2 seconds and displays the current set value
* on the USB UART.
