•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our

This chapter provides an overview of the DN2470 Based Linear Regulator Input
Voltage Range Extender Evaluation Board and covers the following topics:
• DN2470 Device Overview
• What is the DN2470 Based Linear Regulator Input Voltage Range Extender
Evaluation Board?
• What the DN2470 Based Linear Regulator Input Voltage Range Extender
Evaluation Board Kit Contains
1.2DN2470 DEVICE OVERVIEW
The DN2470 is a low-threshold depletion-mode (normally-on) vertical FET. Vertical
DMOS FETs are suited for a wide range of switching and amplifying applications where
high breakdown voltage, high input impedance, low input capacitance and fast
switching speeds are required.
The DN2470 has a 700V voltage breakdown with a 42 ohms drain-to-source On-state
resistance and 500 mA saturated drain-to-source current when operating over typical
conditions. The device is packaged in a TO-252 (D-PAK) and it is designed to operate
in a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C (refer to the DN2470 data sheet for more
information).
1.3WHAT IS THE DN2470 BASED LINEAR REGULATOR INPUT VOLTAGE
RANGE EXTENDER EVALUATION BOARD?
The DN2470 Based Linear Regulator Input Voltage Range Extender Evaluation Board
presents the universal off-line linear regulation using the 700V depletion-mode FET
DN2470. The board features off-line regulation using three different selectable LDOs:
MCP1754, MCP1755 and MCP1790, offered in various package options. The
evaluation board operates with 50 Hz 230 VAC or 60 Hz 120 VAC AC lines and
sources 10 mA typical output current (LDO’s output current).
