STMicroelectronics

 

The ST1PS01 from STMicroelectronics is a synchronous step-down converter IC which provides a maximum output current of 400mA from an input at a voltage between 1.8V and 5.5V.

It is notable for its ultra-low quiescent current and when not switching, it draws just 500nA at an input voltage of 3.6V.

Housed in an 8-ball fl ip-chip package measuring 1.14mm x 1.44mm, it is intended for use in product designs that require a small and thin PCB, and which benefit from the device’s high conversion efficiency.

Using an enhanced peak-current control topology, the ST1PS01 achieves very high efficiency using an inductor of just 2.2μH and two small capacitors. It reaches 94% efficiency when supplying a 1mA load, and stepping a 3.6V input down to an output of 3.3V.

The output voltage can be set dynamically using two digital control inputs. ST supplies the converter in three versions, each providing a different set of output-voltage selection options:

  • ST1PS01AJR: 1.9V, 2.0V, 2.1V or 2.8V
  • ST1PS01DJR: 1.8V, 2.3V, 2.5V or 2.8V
  • ST1PS01EJR: 1.8V, 2.7V, 3.0V or 3.3V

The STEVAL-1PS01AJR evaluation board features the ST1PS01 synchronous step-down converter for applications in which high efficiency and PCB size and thickness are important.
