STMicroelectronics L5970D
Up to 1 A step down switching regulators
The L5970D is a step down monolithic power switching regulator capable to deliver up to 1A at output voltages from 1.2V to 35V.
The device uses an internal P-Channel D-MOS transistor (with a typical Rdson of 250mΩ) as switching element to minimize the size of the external components.
An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at 250KHz.
Having a minimum input voltage of 4.4V only, it is particularly suitable for 5V bus, available in all computer related applications.
Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal frequency modulation offers an effective constant current short circuit protection.

STSW-eDSim - fast and powerful electrical simulation software for SMPS and analog ICs
eDSim is a fast and powerful electrical simulation tool for SMPS and analog ICs, integrated in the eDesignSuite tool. It features enhanced accuracy and higher convergence speed for SMPS, enabling a simulation time 10-50x faster than the classical analog SPICE simulators.
The tool is a specific version of the SIMPLIS/SIMetrix simulation environment paired with ST model components, for a full electrical simulation with no limitation of nodes and circuit size.
Design your analog circuit using the eDesignSuite engine, display a preview of it in few seconds with full annotated schematic and BOM, and then run the electrical simulation through eDSim to get fast and accurate simulations and reliable design validation, thus reducing the effort and risks related to hardware prototyping.
With the eDSim tool you can also create your schematic from scratch using ST models or simulate your SMPS and analog ICs from a list of predefined ST application schematics - test benches, that you can partially modify according to your needs.
Software release 2024.12 is now available.

Features
- Built-in interface with eDesignSuite
- SMPS circuit full modeling using ST components
- Time domain simulation
- Control loop stability
- Predefined application use-case simulation
- Schematic editor for customization
- Waveform viewer with measurement capabilities
