Synchronous DC/DC converters for smart industrial applications
STMicroelectronics’ L6983 38V/3A synchronous DC/DC converters maintain high efficiency at all loads with a maximum value of 95% and are highly integrated with synchronous MOSFETs on-chip to save external components and simplify design. The L6983 converters have extremely low quiescent current of just 17µA. Low current consumption (L6983C) and low-noise (L6983N) variants are available. The L6983C enters […]
PMICs optimized to work with STM32MP1 Arm Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 core MCUs
With features including four DC/DC buck converters, a boost DC/DC converter, and six low-dropout regulators (LDOs), the STMicroelectronics STPMIC1 power-management IC (PMIC) satisfies the complex power demands of highly integrated application-processor based systems. The chip is optimized as a companion PMIC for ST’s STM32MP1* heterogeneous multicore microprocessors, which target a broad range of applications by integrating single […]
Servodrive eval kit includes 100-W BLDC motor, incremental encoder
