Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ISA144V1 from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation board for the L5983 1.5 A step-down switching regulator IC, implementing a complete synchronous buck converter with adjustable 0.6–16 V output, 2.9–18 V input, and programmable 250 kHz–1 MHz switching frequency. It features internal soft-start, 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation, zero-load current mode, and integrated overcurrent/thermal protection.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ISA144V1 datasheet, STEVAL-ISA144V1 pinout, STEVAL-ISA144V1 application, or STEVAL-ISA144V1 equivalent, this board enables rapid validation of L5983-based power supply designs in industrial sensors, portable instrumentation, and FPGA core voltage regulation-where compact size, wide VIN range, and stable light-load efficiency are critical.
Technical Context
The board implements the L5983 DC-DC controller in VFQFPN8 (3 mm × 3 mm) package, using external Schottky diode rectification and MLCC-compatible compensation. Input capacitance and diode reverse voltage rating (25 V) fully cover the 2.9–18 V input range.
Output voltage is set via resistor divider (R1/R2), factory-configured for 3.3 V but adjustable down to 0.6 V. Switching frequency is fixed at 500 kHz by R5 on Fsw pin, within the device's 250 kHz–1 MHz programmable range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Base IC | L5983 step-down switching regulator with integrated control logic and gate drivers |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous DC load capability with thermal derating above 60°C ambient |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9 V to 18 V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered systems |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 16 V - adjustable via external resistor divider; 3.3 V default setting |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (set by R5); programmable from 250 kHz to 1 MHz for EMI/noise trade-off tuning |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting - prevents damage during fault conditions |
| Soft-Start | Internal soft-start circuit - limits inrush current during power-up to avoid input rail sag |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage and how is it configured?
The STEVAL-ISA144V1 is factory-configured for 3.3 V output using resistor divider R1 (10 kΩ) and R2 (4.7 kΩ) connected to the FB pin. Output voltage can be adjusted from 0.6 V to 16 V by changing R1/R2 values per the L5983 feedback equation: VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + R1/R2).
Does the board support synchronous rectification?
No - the STEVAL-ISA144V1 uses an external Schottky diode (D1, 1N5819 equivalent) for asynchronous rectification. The L5983 itself does not integrate a synchronous MOSFET driver; it relies on external diode conduction during the low-side switch off-time.
Can the switching frequency be changed, and how?
Yes - the board's switching frequency is set to 500 kHz by resistor R5 (24.9 kΩ) connected between Fsw pin and GND. To change frequency, replace R5 with a value from the L5983 datasheet's Fsw vs. RFSW table - e.g., 49.9 kΩ yields ~250 kHz, 12.4 kΩ yields ~1 MHz.
What output capacitor types are validated for stability?
The board's compensation network is designed for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) as output filters. C2 (22 µF X5R, 16 V) and C6 (86 nF) form part of the Type II compensation network, ensuring loop stability with low-ESR MLCCs - electrolytic or polymer caps require re-tuning.
