Description
This demonstration board is based on the ST1S03A, an adjustable current mode PWM step-down DC-DC converter with internal 1.5 A power switch, packaged in a 6-lead DFN 3x3 mm.
Its a complete 1.5 A switching regulator with its internal compensation eliminating additional component.
The constant frequency, current mode, PWM architecture and stable operation with ceramic capacitors results in low, predictable output ripple.
However, in order to maximize the power conversion efficiency with light load, the regulator reduces automatically the switching frequency when the output load becomes less than 250 mA typically.
