Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ISA044V5 from STMicroelectronics is a demonstration board implementing the ST1S10 synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in Power SO-8 ePad package, delivering up to 3 A output current across 2.5 V–18.0 V input range, operating at 900 kHz fixed switching frequency or externally synchronized (400 kHz–1.2 MHz), with inhibit function and <6 µA quiescent current in shutdown-used for LCD bias and HDD digital-core power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ISA044V5 datasheet, STEVAL-ISA044V5 pinout, STEVAL-ISA044V5 application, or STEVAL-ISA044V5 equivalent, this page provides verified board-level specifications, functional architecture, component-level design meaning, and supply-chain support for industrial and embedded power design validation.
Technical Context
The board implements ST1S10's current-mode PWM control architecture with internal 900 kHz oscillator or external SYNC input (400 kHz–1.2 MHz), enabling stable regulation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors and minimal output ripple. It supports automatic burst-mode operation at light load to maximize efficiency.
Thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C; cycle-by-cycle current limiting protects against shorted outputs. The inhibit pin enables ultra-low-power shutdown (<6 µA IQ), and synchronous rectification eliminates need for external Schottky diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 18.0 V - supports wide-input industrial and portable systems including battery-powered LCD/HDD subsystems. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A - sufficient for powering digital cores and LCD bias rails without thermal derating under typical PCB layout. |
| Switching Frequency | 900 kHz (fixed) or 400 kHz–1.2 MHz (SYNC-synchronized) - enables compact magnetics and high-density layout with small inductor/capacitor footprints. |
| Quiescent Current (Inhibit) | <6 µA - ensures negligible battery drain during system standby in portable applications. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (150 °C), cycle-by-cycle current limit - provides robust fault handling without external circuitry. |
| Topology | Synchronous buck - eliminates external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by ~5–10% over asynchronous designs at 3 A load. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the STEVAL-ISA044V5?
The STEVAL-ISA044V5 is a fully assembled demonstration board for the ST1S10 synchronous step-down DC-DC converter. Its purpose is to validate the device's performance-including 3 A output capability, 900 kHz switching, inhibit control, and thermal protection-in target applications like LCD bias and HDD core power, using a production-ready layout and BOM.
Does STEVAL-ISA044V5 support external frequency synchronization?
Yes. The board exposes the ST1S10's SYNC pin, allowing users to synchronize switching frequency to an external clock source between 400 kHz and 1.2 MHz. When SYNC is grounded or held below 5.5 V, the converter operates at its internal 900 kHz frequency.
What protection features are implemented on this board?
The board inherits all ST1S10 protections: cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevents damage during output shorts, and thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C. No additional discrete protection components are required-the functionality is fully integrated into the ST1S10 IC.
Can STEVAL-ISA044V5 be used for battery-powered applications?
Yes. With <6 µA quiescent current in inhibit mode and burst-mode operation at light loads, the board supports energy-sensitive portable systems. Input range (2.5 V–18.0 V) accommodates single-cell Li-ion (with boost pre-regulation) up to multi-cell configurations.
