Introduction

The 

STEVAL-1PS03A

 is an evaluation board for a smart converter design able to deliver up to 400 mA output current from a 1.8

to 5.5 V input, with a 1.6 to 3.3 V dynamically adjustable output voltage.

The board features the 

ST1PS03AQTR

 nano-quiescent miniaturized synchronous step-down converter, which implements

enhanced peak current control (PCC) and advanced design circuitry to minimize quiescent current. The device embeds a
controlled load switch to supply a subsystem with VIN_AUX voltage rail.

The 

STEVAL-1PS03A

 demonstrates how highly efficient conversion can be achieved thanks to the 

ST1PS03AQTR

 (in a thin

TQFN12 package of 2.0x1.7 mm), a 2.2 μH inductor, and two small capacitors.

The 

ST1PS03AQTR

 key application benefits include high efficiency, and small PCB size and thickness. It is extremely suitable

for power conversion solutions in wearable applications and fitness accessories, personal tracking monitoring, smart watches,
sport bands, energy harvesting, wireless sensors, industrial sensors, portable low-power devices, single cell Li-ion battery
applications, as well as Bluetooth

®

 low energy and Zigbee applications.
