STEVAL-ISA049V1
Description
This demonstration board is based on the
ST2S06A, a dual synchronous step-down DC-DC
converter optimized for powering low-voltage
digital cores in ODD applications and, generally,
used to replace the high current linear solution
when the power dissipation may cause a high
heating of the application environment.
It provides up to 0.5 A over an input voltage range
of 2.5 V to 5.5 V.
A high switching frequency (1.5 MHz) allows the
use of tiny surface-mount components. A resistor
divider to set the output voltage value, an inductor
and two capacitors are required for every channel.
In addition, a low output ripple is guaranteed by
the current mode PWM topology and by the use
of low ESR surface-mount ceramic capacitors.
The demonstration board is thermal protected
and current limited to prevent damage due to
accidental short-circuit.
