EVAL5985 2 A step-down switching regulator demonstration board based on the L5985 Data Brief Features 2 A DC output current 2.9 V to 18 V input voltage Output voltage adjustable from 0.6 V to 16 V 250 kHz switching frequency, programmable up to 1 MHz Internal soft-start and inhibit Low dropout operation: 100 % duty cycle Zero-load current operation Over-current and thermal protection VFQFPN8 3 mm x 3 mm package EVAL5985 - V Description The compensation network on the demonstration The EVAL5985 demonstration board provides the board allows the use of MLCC as output filter to design engineer with a fully functional step-down keep the loop stable. The inductor saturation switching regulator with an output current of up to current and forward current of the Schottky diode 2 A. The board integrates STMicroelectronics are within the current limit values. L5985 step-down switching regulator, together with all the external components required for a The switching frequency on the demonstration typical application. board is set to 500 kHz by means of the R5 resistor connected to pin Fsw. The rated voltage of the input capacitor and the Schottky diode rectifier repetitive peak reverse voltage are both 25 V, making the board capable of covering the entire 2.9 V - 18 V input voltage range of the L5985 device. The board features an external resistor divider (R1 and R2) designed for an output voltage of 3.3 V. The output voltage can be set to a level from 0.6 V up to the rated voltage of the output capacitor (16 V).
