STEVAL-ISA187V1:38 V, 0.5 A synchronous step-down switching regulator evaluation board based on A6985F
The STEVAL-ISA187V1 is a product evaluation board based on the ST
synchronous step-down switching regulator A6985F, which can deliver up to 0.5 A and, with its
100% duty cycle ability to withstand cold crank events and wide input operating voltage range,
represents the ideal choice for battery-powered automotive systems. Synchronous rectification
helps achieve higher efficiency at full load as well as application compactness, while
high-frequency switching (programmable up to 2 MHz) helps reduce the cost and size of power
passive components while remaining outside the AM band.
The device can operate in low consumption mode (LCM), with a quiescent
current of 30 μA at VIN=12 V and VOUT= 3.3 V that ensures high efficiency under light load,
which is a requirement in typical car body applications that are active when a car is parked.
A low noise mode (LNM) can be selected to meet the requirements of infotainment applications
with forced PWM mode under all load conditions. The default board configuration is LCM active,
2 MHz switching frequency, high ISKIP current and the
switchover feature enabled, but all of these settings can be easily changed so the user can
evaluate different application scenarios.
