Description
The ST1S10 is a high efficiency synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with inhibit
function. It provides up to 3 A over an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 18 V, and the output
voltage can be adjusted from 0.8 V up to 85% of the input voltage level. The synchronous
rectification removes the need for an external Schottky diode and allows higher efficiency
even at very low output voltages.
A high internal switching frequency (0.9 MHz) allows the use of tiny surface-mount
components, as well as a resistor divider to set the output voltage value. In typical
application conditions, only an inductor and 3 capacitors are required for proper operation.
The device can operate in PWM mode with a fixed frequency or synchronized to an external
frequency through the SYNC pin. The current mode PWM architecture and stable operation
with low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors results in low, predictable output ripple. No external
compensation is needed.
To maximize power conversion efficiency, the ST1S10 works in pulse skipping mode at light
load conditions and automatically switches to PWM mode when the output current
increases.
The ST1S10 is equipped with thermal shut down protection activated at 150 °C (typ.).
Cycle-by-cycle short circuit protection provides protection against shorted outputs for the
application and the regulator. An internal soft start for start-up current limiting and power ON
delay of 275 µs (typ.) helps to reduce inrush current during start-up.
