Description
The STEVAL-ISA078V1 demonstration board is a
high efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down
regulator capable of delivering up to 800 mA of
continuous output current and of regulating the
output voltage from 0.6 V up to V_IN thanks to the
100% duty cycle operation capability.
The input voltage ranges from 2 V to 5.5 V.
The control loop architecture is based on a
constant frequency peak current mode, while high
efficiency at light loads is achieved by a low
consumption functionality.
The very low quiescent current (25 µA) and
shutdown current (0.2 µA) means that the device
is very suitable for supplying battery-powered
equipment like PDAs, hand-held terminals, DSCs
(digital still cameras) and cellular phones.
The switching frequency is internally set at 600
kHz, but the device can be externally
synchronized up to 1.4 MHz. An internal
reference voltage of 0.6 V (typ.) allows the device
to regulate a minimum output voltage of the same
low value.
Data brief
The low MOSFET R_DS(on) ensures high efficiency
at high output current.
Additional beneficial features are: hysteretic
UVLO, OVP, constant current short-circuit
protection, Power Good and thermal shutdown.
The MSOP8 package allows significant space
savings on the board.
