STEVAL-ISA055V2
Description
This demonstration board is based on the
ST1S12 family of synchronous step-down DC-DC
converters optimized for powering low-voltage
digital cores in HDD (hard disk drive) applications,
and is generally used to replace high-current
linear solutions when 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 of 1.7
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 the adjustable version, while only an
inductor and 2 capacitors are needed for the 1.2 V
and 1.8 V fixed version.
A low output ripple is guaranteed by the current
mode PWM topology and by the use of low ESR
surface-mount ceramic capacitors.
The ST1S12 device is thermal protected and
current limited to prevent damage due to
accidental short-circuit. This family of products is
available in the TSOT23-5L package.
