required. Moreover, a low output ripple is
guaranteed by the current mode PWM topology
and by the use of low ESR SMD ceramic
capacitors. The device is thermally protected and
the current is limited to prevent damage due to
accidental short-circuit. The ST1S12Gxx is
available in the TSOT23-5L package.
Description
The ST1S12Gxx is a step down DC-DC converter
optimized for powering low-voltage digital cores in
HDD applications and, generally, to replace the
high current linear solution when the power
dissipation may cause high heating of the
application environment. It provides up to 0.7 A
over an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. A
high switching frequency (1.7 MHz) allows the
use of tiny surface-mount components. In addition
to the resistor divider to set the output voltage
value, only an inductor and two capacitors are
