Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ISA100V1 from STMicroelectronics is a step-down switching demonstration board based on the L7986A synchronous buck regulator in HSOP8 package, delivering up to 3 A DC output current with 4.5 V–38 V input range and adjustable 0.6 V–VIN output voltage. It operates at 250 kHz (programmable up to 1 MHz), supports 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation, and includes internal soft-start, enable, overcurrent and thermal protection.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ISA100V1 datasheet, STEVAL-ISA100V1 pinout, STEVAL-ISA100V1 application, or STEVAL-ISA100V1 equivalent, this board enables rapid evaluation of high-voltage industrial power supply designs requiring wide-input-range, adjustable-output, and robust protection features in compact form factor.
Technical Context
The board implements a non-isolated synchronous buck topology using the L7986A controller IC, which integrates a 3.7 A current-limited power MOSFET and voltage feed-forward control for improved transient response across wide VIN ranges. Its programmable oscillator allows frequency tuning from 250 kHz to 1 MHz to balance efficiency, EMI, and component size.
Designed for zero-load operation and 100% duty-cycle capability, the board supports ultra-low dropout regulation under high-VIN/low-VOUT conditions. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle overcurrent detection and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery, verified per ST's characterization data.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Up to 3 A DC continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks or industrial microcontrollers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 38 V - supports 12 V/24 V/36 V industrial rails and automotive battery transients. |
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable from 0.6 V to VIN - enables generation of core voltages (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 3.3 V) or bias supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 250 kHz base, programmable up to 1 MHz - allows optimization for low EMI (lower freq) or small magnetics (higher freq). |
| Duty Cycle Capability | 100% - maintains regulation even when VOUT approaches VIN, critical for brownout resilience. |
| Protection Features | Internal cycle-by-cycle overcurrent + thermal shutdown with auto-recovery - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry. |

FAQ
What input voltage range does the STEVAL-ISA100V1 support?
The board accepts 4.5 V to 38 V DC input, validated across this full range per ST's Doc ID 023084 Rev 1. This accommodates nominal 12 V and 24 V industrial supplies, plus extended transients such as automotive load-dump events up to 38 V, without external clamping.
Can the output voltage be set below 1 V?
Yes - the output is adjustable down to 0.6 V using the onboard resistor divider network, enabling direct powering of low-voltage cores like ARM Cortex-M7 or DDR3L memory termination supplies without additional post-regulation.
Does the board support synchronization to an external clock?
No - the L7986A uses an internal oscillator with external resistor programming (RT pin); it lacks an external sync input. Frequency adjustment is limited to setting via RT resistor, with no provision for master-clock locking or phase alignment.
Is thermal performance characterized in free-air conditions?
Yes - ST's data brief specifies 3 A output capability under natural convection at 25 °C ambient, with thermal shutdown activating above 150 °C junction temperature. The HSOP8 layout and copper pour are optimized per ST's recommended PCB footprint in the schematic.
