STMicroelectronics L6984
L6984 - 36 V, 400 mA synchronous step-down switching regulator
The L6984 is a step-down monolithic switching regulator able to deliver up to 400 mA DC. The output voltage adjustability ranges from 0.9 V. The fixed 3.3 V VOUT requires no external resistor divider. The “Low Consumption Mode” (LCM) is designed for applications active during car parking, so it maximizes the efficiency at light load with controlled output voltage ripple. The “Low Noise Mode” (LNM) makes the switching frequency almost constant over the load current range, serving low noise application specification like car audio/sensors. The PGOOD open collector output can implement output voltage sequencing during the power-up phase. The synchronous rectification, designed for high efficiency at medium - heavy load, and the high switching frequency capability make the size of the application compact. Pulse-by-pulse current sensing on low-side power element implements an effective constant current protection.

STEVAL-ISA159V1 - High efficiency synchronous step-down regulator based on the L6984
The STEVAL-ISA159V1 product evaluation board is based on L6984, a high-efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down regulator, capable of delivering up to 400 mA of DC current. The fixed 3.3 V output requires no external resistor divider. The L6984 is suited for home appliances, factory and building automation. The Low Consumption Mode (LCM) is designed for eco-friendly home appliances and automotive applications active during car parking, so it maximizes the efficiency at light load with controlled output voltage ripple. The Low Noise Mode (LNM) makes the switching frequency nearly constant over the load current range, serving low noise application specifications such as audio and sensors. The PGOOD open collector output can implement output voltage sequencing during the power-up phase. The synchronous rectification, designed for high efficiency at medium-heavy load, and the high switching frequency capability ensure a compact application size. Pulse-by-pulse current sensing on the low-side power element implements effective constant current protection.
