Working Principles

The MCP16323T-ADJE/NG operates as a step-down (buck) voltage regulator. It uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to regulate the output voltage based on the feedback received from the FB pin. The switching node (SW) controls the flow of current through an inductor, which converts the input voltage to the desired output voltage. The enable (EN) pin allows for easy control of the regulator's operation.
