Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ISA079V2 from STMicroelectronics is a demonstration board built around the L6928 monolithic synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator, designed for high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained portable systems. It supports 2.0 V–5.5 V input (single Li-Ion compatible), delivers up to 800 mA output, features 1.4 MHz fixed switching frequency with external synchronization (1–2 MHz), ±1% output voltage accuracy, and operates down to 0.6 V adjustable output.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ISA079V2 datasheet, STEVAL-ISA079V2 application diagram, STEVAL-ISA079V2 evaluation board layout, or STEVAL-ISA079V2 alternative evaluation platforms, this page provides verified hardware configuration details, functional validation context, and design integration guidance specific to L6928-based buck regulation in battery-powered embedded systems.
Technical Context
The board implements the L6928 IC in a complete, tested synchronous buck topology with external 4.7 µH inductor, input/output capacitors, feedback divider, and SYNC input circuitry. It validates low-input-voltage operation (down to 2.0 V), 100% duty-cycle capability for ultra-low dropout, and precision output regulation via internal 0.6 V reference and error amplifier.
Designed for rapid prototyping of compact DC-DC supplies, it exposes all critical control signals - RUN, PG, SYNC, and FB - enabling system-level timing coordination, power sequencing verification, and dynamic frequency adjustment without redesigning the power stage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct use with single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Poly batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 800 mA - Sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, and RF transceivers in portable IoT nodes. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4 MHz (fixed), synchronizable 1–2 MHz - Allows EMI optimization and small external passive component selection (e.g., 4.7 µH inductor). |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% - Ensures stable core voltage for ARM Cortex-M or low-power DSPs requiring tight rail tolerance. |
| Quiescent Current | <1 µA in shutdown - Preserves battery life during deep-sleep modes in wearable or sensor-edge devices. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0–100% - Supports dropout operation when input drops near output voltage (e.g., 2.2 V → 1.8 V). |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the STEVAL-ISA079V2 board?
The STEVAL-ISA079V2 is a ready-to-use demonstration board that implements the L6928 synchronous step-down regulator in a validated 800 mA buck converter configuration. It serves as a functional reference design for evaluating efficiency, thermal performance, transient response, and PCB layout practices - not as a standalone production module.
Can the output voltage be adjusted, and how is it set?
Yes, the output voltage is adjustable from 0.6 V using an external resistor divider network connected to the FB pin. On this board, R3 (200 kΩ) and R4 (100 kΩ) configure a nominal 1.8 V output per the application diagram; changing these resistors allows precise tuning for different load requirements such as 1.2 V for MCU cores or 3.3 V for peripherals.
Does the board support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the board exposes the SYNC pin of the L6928 IC and includes associated AC-coupling components (C3 = 220 pF). It accepts external TTL/CMOS clock signals from 1 MHz to 2 MHz, enabling EMI reduction through frequency dithering or synchronization with system clocks in multi-rail power architectures.
Is short-circuit protection implemented, and how is it verified?
Yes, the L6928 IC integrates hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, and the STEVAL-ISA079V2 board retains this functionality without modification. Protection is verified per ST's characterization data: under sustained output short, the device cycles ON/OFF with ~100 ms period and limits average current to <100 mA, preventing thermal damage while maintaining safe operating area.
