STEVAL-ISA053V1
Data Brief
Description
The PM6680 is a dual step-down controller with
adjustable output voltages for notebook computer
power systems. The STEVAL-ISA053V1
demonstration board is designed to test the
performance of the PM6680 by employing a
typical application circuit which allows testing of
all PM6680 device functions. The board features
two switching sections, with (typically) 1.5 V and
1.05 V outputs, from a 6 V to 28 V input battery
voltage. The operating switching frequency of the
two switching sections is 200 kHz / 300 kHz,
respectively. Each switching section delivers more
than 5 A of output current. Moreover, an internal
linear regulator can provide 5 V @ 100 mA peak
current.
