DESCRIPTION
The ST1S03 is a step down DC-DC converter
optimized for powering low-voltage digital core in
HDD applications and, generally, to replace the
high current linear solution when the power
dissipation may cause an high heating of the
application environment. It provides up to 1.5A
over an input voltag e range o f 3V t o 16 V. A n hi gh
DFN6 (3x3)
switching frequency (1.5MHz) allows the use of
tiny surface-mount components: as well as the
resistor divider to set the output voltage value,
only an inductor, a schottky diode and two
capacitors are required. Besides, a low output
ripple is guaranteed by the current mode PWM
topology and by the use of low E.S.R. SMD
ceramic capacitors. The device is thermal
protected and current limited to prevent damages
due to accidental short circuit. The ST1S03 is
available in DFN6 package.

APPLICATION NOTES
The ST1S03 is an ad justable current m ode PWM
step-down DC/DC converter with internal 1.5A
power switch, packaged in a 6-lead DFN 3x3.
It’s a complete 1.5A switching regulator with its
internal compensation eliminating additional
component.
The constant frequency, current mode, PWM
architecture and stable operation with ceramic
capacitors results in low, predictable output ripple.
However, in order to keep the output regulated,
the devices goe s in pulse skipping m ode when a
very light load is required.
To clamp the error amplifier reference vol tage a
Soft Start control block generating a voltage ramp,
has been implemented. Besides an On-Chip
Power on Reset of 50 = 100µ s en sure the proper
operation when switching on the power supply.
Other circuits fitted to the device protection are the
Thermal Shut down block which turn off the
regulator when the junction tem perature exceeds
150°C typically and the Cycle-by-cycle Current
Limiting that provides protection against shorted
outputs.
Being the ST1S03 an adjustable regulator, the
output voltage is determined by an external
resistor divider. The desired valu e is given by t he
following equation:

To make the device working, only other four
external components are required: a Schottky
diode, an inductor and two capacitors. The chosen
inductor must be able to not saturat e at the peak
current level. Besides, its value can be selected
keeping in account that a large inductor value
increases the efficiency at low ou tput current a nd
reduces output voltage ripple, while a smaller
inductor can be chosen when it is important to
reduce the pac kage s ize and the total cost of t he
application. Finally, the ST1S03 has been
designed to work p roperly with X5R or X7R SMD
ceramic capacitors both at the input and at the
output. this kind of capacitors, thanks to their very
low series resistance (ESR), minimize the output
voltage ripple. Other low ESR capacitors can be
used according to the need of the application
without invalidating the right functioning of the
device. Due to the high switching fr equency and
peak current, it is important to optimize the
application environment reducing the length of the
PCB traces and placing all the external
component near the device.
