Data brief
STEVAL-ISA077V2
Description
The STEVAL-ISA077V2 demonstration board is
based on the L6920D high efficiency step-up
converter as well as the external components
required for a typical application.
Startup is guaranteed at 1 V and the device
operates down to 0.6 V. The output voltage can be
adjusted from 2 V to 5.2 V and two fixed output
voltages (3.3 V and 5 V) are also available.
