Description
This demonstration board is based on the
ST8R00W family of synchronous step-up DC-DC
converters with current output cut-off function that
provide up to 1 A over an input voltage range of 4
V to 6 V and an output voltage range of 6 V to 12
V.
The ST8R00W is the continuous mode version,
that guarantees the lowest switching ripple when
the device is used at light load conditions.
The high switching frequency (1.2 MHz) allows
the use of tiny surface-mount components.
Along with the resistor divider to set the output
voltage value, an inductor and two capacitors are
required. A low output ripple is guaranteed by the
current mode PWM topology and by the use of
low ESR surface-mounted ceramic capacitors.
