Description
The ST8R00 is a synchronous PWM step-up DCDC converter. The device is able to provide an
output voltage in the range of 6 to 12 V with an
input voltage from 4 to 6 V. The high switching
frequency (1.7 MHz) permits the use of tiny
surface-mount components. In addition to the
resistor divider to set the output voltage value,
only an inductor and two capacitors are required.
Moreover, a low output ripple is guaranteed by the
current mode PWM topology and by the use of
low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors. The device is
available in a very small DFN8 (4 x 4 mm)
package.
