ST1S15
500 mA, 6 MHz synchronous step-down converter
Datasheet - production data
Description
The ST1S15 is a high efficiency miniaturized
step-down converter able to provide 500 mA
output current from an input voltage from 2.3 V to
5.5 V. This converter is specifically designed for
applications where high efficiency and small
application area are the key factors. Thanks to
6 MHz switching frequency, the ST1S15 can use
470 nH nominal values for the inductor and
4.7 µF for the output capacitor providing, at the
same time, very good performance in terms of
load and line transients. A PFM mode can be
selected for high efficiency under light load
conditions or PWM mode for tight regulation and
best dynamic performance. Short-circuit and
thermal protection are also included.
