STEVAL-ISA051V2
Data Brief
STEVAL-ISA051V2
The device is fully compliant with system sleep
states S3 and S4/S5, providing LDO output high
impedance in suspend-to-RAM and tracking
discharge of all outputs in suspend-to-disk.
Description
This evaluation board based on the PM6670AS
device is a complete DDR2/3 power supply
regulator for portable applications designed to
meet JEDEC specifications. It integrates a
constant on-time (COT) buck controller, a 2 Apk
sink/source low dropout regulator and a 15 mA
low noise buffered reference.
The COT architecture assures fast transient
response supporting both polymeric and ceramic
output capacitors. An embedded integrator
control loop compensates the DC voltage error
due to the output ripple. The 2 Apk sink/source
linear regulator provides the memory termination
voltage with fast load transient response.
