ST1S12 description

The ST1S12 is an adjustable current mode PWM synchronous step-down DC-DC converter

with an internal 0.7 A power switch. It is a complete 0.7 A switching regulator with internal

compensation which eliminates the need for additional components.

The device operates with typically 1.7 MHz fixed frequency, and in order to guarantee the

lowest switching ripple, operates in pulse width modulation (PWM) mode even at low-load

condition. (Figure 2 and Figure 3)

ramp is implemented. When switching on the power supply, it allows controlling the inrush

current value (Figure 4).
