The ST1S09 is a step-down DC-DC converter optimized for powering low output voltage applications. It supplies a current in excess of 2 A over an input voltage range from 2.7 V to 6 V. A high PWM switching frequency (1.5 MHz) allows the use of tiny surface-mount components. Moreover, since the required synchronous rectifier is integrated, the number of the external components is reduced to minimum: a resistor divider, an inductor and two capacitors. The Power Good function continuously monitors the output voltage. An open drain Power Good flag is released when the output voltage is within regulation. In addition, a low output ripple is guaranteed by the current mode PWM topology and by the use of low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors. The device is thermally protected and the output current limited to prevent damages due to accidental short circuit. The ST1S09 is available in the DFN6 (3 x 3 mm) package.

The ST1S10 is a high efficiency step-down PWM current mode switching regulator capable of providing up to 3 A of output current. The device operates with an input supply range from 2.5 V to 18 V and provides an adjustable output voltage from 0.8 V (VFB) to 0.85 * VIN_SW[VOUT= VFB* (1 + R1/R2)]. It operates either at a 900 kHz fixed frequency or can be synchronized to an external clock (from 400 kHz to 1.2 MHz). The high switching frequency allows the use of tiny SMD external components, while the integrated synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for a Schottky diode. The ST1S10 provides excellent transient response, and is fully protected against thermal overheating, switching overcurrent and output short-circuit. The ST1S10 is the ideal choice for point of load regulators or LDO pre-regulation.

The ST1S12 is a step down DC-DC converter optimized for powering low-voltage digital cores in HDD applications and, generally, to replace the high current linear solution when the power dissipation may cause high heating of the application environment. It provides up to 0.7 A over an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. A high switching frequency (1.7 MHz) allows the use of tiny surface-mount components. In addition to the resistor divider to set the output voltage value, only an inductor and two capacitors are required. Moreover, a low output ripple is guaranteed by the current mode PWM topology and by the use of low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors. The device is thermally protected and the current is limited to prevent damage due to accidental short-circuit. The ST1S12 is available in the TSOT23-5L package.

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.

The ST1S30 is a step-down DC-DC converter optimized for powering low output voltage applications. It supplies a current in excess of 3 A over an input voltage range from 2.7 V to 6 V. A high PWM switching frequency (1.5 MHz) allows the use of tiny surface-mount components. Moreover, since the required synchronous rectifier is integrated, the number of the external components is reduced to minimum: a resistor divider, an inductor and two capacitors. The Power Good function continuously monitors the output voltage. An open drain Power Good flag is released when the output voltage is within regulation. In addition, a low output ripple is guaranteed by the current mode PWM topology and by the use of low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors. The device is thermally protected and the output current limited to prevent damages due to accidental short circuit. The ST1S30 is available in the DFN8 (4 x 4 mm) package.

The ST202EB, ST202EC, ST232EB, and ST232EC use a single 5 V supply voltage. The ST232EB and ST232EC operate with four 1 µF capacitors, while the ST202EB and ST202EC operate with four 0.1 µF capacitors, further reducing cost and board space.
