The STEVAL-A6983CV1 from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation board for testing the performance of the A6983C automotive-grade synchronous monolithic step-down regulators. The A6983C regulators are optimized for low power consumption in light-load mode. Â
The STEVAL-A6983CV1 features a Power good open collector which monitors the feedback voltage. Pulse-by-pulse current sensing on both power elements provides for effective constant-current protection. Thermal shutdown prevents thermal run-away.
