STEVAL-ISA049V1 Synchronous dual buck converter with reset demonstration board based on the ST2S06A Data brief Features Step-down current mode PWM (1.5 MHz) DC-DC converter Fixed or adjustable output voltage from 0.8 V 2% DC output voltage tolerance Synchronous rectification Reset function Internal soft start for start-up current limitation and power ON delay of 50-100 s Typical efficiency: > 90% 0.5 A output current capability Non-switching quiescent current: max 1 mA over temperature range R 150 m (typ.) DS(on) Uses tiny capacitors and inductors STEVAL-ISA049V1 RoHS compliant 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.
