Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ISA098V1 from STMicroelectronics is a step-down switching demonstration board built around the L7985A synchronous buck regulator in HSOP8 package, delivering up to 2 A DC output current with input voltage range 4.5 V to 38 V, adjustable output from 0.6 V, and programmable switching frequency from 250 kHz to 1 MHz - used for evaluating high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ISA098V1 datasheet, STEVAL-ISA098V1 schematic, STEVAL-ISA098V1 application circuit, or STEVAL-ISA098V1 alternative evaluation boards, this page provides verified pinout mapping (via L7985A), thermal protection behavior, soft-start timing, and practical layout guidance derived from the official ST reference design.
Technical Context
The board implements a non-isolated synchronous buck topology using the L7985A IC, which integrates a 2.5 A minimum current-limited N-channel power MOSFET and internal voltage feed-forward control. It supports zero-load operation and low-dropout 100% duty cycle mode for ultra-low VIN–VOUT differentials.
Switching frequency is set by an external resistor to the RT pin and can be synchronized externally; internal soft-start ramps output voltage over ~5 ms, and thermal shutdown activates at Tj > 150 °C with automatic recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Synchronous step-down (buck) converter with integrated high-side MOSFET |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous - limited by thermal design and PCB copper area on demo board |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 38 V - enables direct use with 12 V/24 V industrial rails and wide-range adapters |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to VIN - supports low-voltage logic rails (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 3.3 V) and battery charging |
| Switching Frequency | 250 kHz to 1 MHz - higher frequencies reduce external inductor size; default 250 kHz via internal oscillator |
| Protections | Overcurrent (hiccup-mode), thermal shutdown (150 °C), and internal soft-start (≈5 ms) |

FAQ
What input voltage range does STEVAL-ISA098V1 support?
The board accepts 4.5 V to 38 V DC input, validated per ST's Doc ID 023082 Rev 1. This range allows testing across standard 12 V and 24 V industrial buses, as well as unregulated wall adapters. Operation below 4.5 V is not supported due to L7985A under-voltage lockout.
Can the output voltage be set below 1 V?
Yes - the output is adjustable down to 0.6 V using the external feedback resistive divider, as confirmed in the schematic and data brief. This enables direct regulation for low-voltage FPGA cores or advanced microcontroller I/O domains without additional post-regulation stages.
Does STEVAL-ISA098V1 include synchronization capability?
Yes - the L7985A IC on the board supports external frequency synchronization via the SYNC pin. When enabled, it accepts an external clock signal up to 1 MHz, allowing noise-sensitive systems to avoid beat frequencies or align switching with other power stages.
Is thermal protection latched or auto-recovering?
Thermal protection is auto-recovering: when junction temperature exceeds 150 °C, the L7985A shuts down switching and resumes operation once die temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C), as specified in the device's thermal shutdown behavior and verified in board-level thermal testing.
