Description
The ST2S08B is a dual step-down DC-DC
converter optimized for powering low-voltage
digital cores in ODD applications and, generally,
to replace the high current linear solution when
the power dissipation may cause a high heating of
the application environment. It provides up to 1.5
A over an input voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V. A
high switching frequency of 1.5 MHz allows the
use of tiny surface-mounted components as well
as a resistor divider to set the output voltage
value. Only an inductor and two capacitors are
required. A low output ripple is guaranteed by the
current mode PWM topology and the utilization of
low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors. The device is
thermally protected and current limited. The

ST2S08B
General information
The ST2S08B is a dual adjustable current mode PWM step-down DC-DC converter.
It is a complete 1.5 A switching regulator with internal compensation that eliminates the
need for additional components.
The constant frequency, current mode, PWM architecture and stable operation with ceramic
capacitors, results in low, predictable output ripple.
To clamp the error amplifier reference voltage, a soft-start control block, generating a
voltage ramp, has been implemented. Other circuits fitted to the device protection are the
thermal shut-down block, which turns off the regulator when the junction temperature
exceeds 150 °C (typ.), and cycle-by-cycle switching current limiting.
Operation of the device requires few components: 2 inductors, 3 capacitors, and a resistor
divider. The chosen inductor must be capable of not saturating at the peak current level. Its
value should be selected keeping in mind that a large inductor value increases the efficiency
at low output current and reduces output voltage ripple, while a smaller inductor can be
chosen when it is important to reduce package size and total application cost.
Finally, the ST2S08 has been designed to work properly with X5R or X7R SMD ceramic
capacitors both at input and at output. These types of capacitors, due to their very low series
resistance (ESR), minimize the output voltage ripple. Other low ESR capacitors can be
used, according to the needs of the application, without compromising the correct
functioning of the device.

Application information
8.1
Introduction
The following technical information is used for estimating typical external component
characteristics using standard equations. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to
validate the suitability of external components to the application requirements by thoroughly
testing any solution at bench level on a real evaluation circuit.
8.2
Programming the output voltage
The output voltage for both channels can be adjusted from 0.8 V up to 85 % of the input
voltage value by connecting a resistor divider between VO and GND, the middle point of the
divider must be connected to the feedback (FB) pin, as shown in Figure 3.
The resistor divider must be chosen according to the following equations:
Equation 1
R1 ⎞
⎛
VO1 = VFB 1 × ⎜⎜ 1 +
⎟
R 2 ⎟⎠
⎝
Equation 2
R3 ⎞
⎛
VO 2 = VFB 2 × ⎜⎜ 1 +
⎟
R4 ⎟⎠
⎝
Using a resistor with a value in the range of 1 kΩ to 50 kΩ is recommended. Lower values
are also suitable, but increase current consumption.
8.3
Inductor selection
The inductor is the key passive component for switching converters.
The critical inductance values can then be obtained according to the following formulas:
Equation 3
LMIN =
VO × (VIN _ MAX − VO )
VIN _ MAX × FSW × ΔIL
FSW = switching frequency
ΔIL = the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. As a rule of thumb, the peak-to-peak ripple
can be set at 20 % - 40 % of the output current.
The peak current of the inductor can be calculated as:
Doc ID 18290 Rev 2
11/18
Application information
ST2S08B
Equation 4
IPEAK = (IO / 0.8) +
VO × (VIN _ MAX − VO )
2 × VIN _ MAX × FSW × L
In addition to the inductance value, in order to avoid saturation, the maximum saturation
current of the inductor must be higher than that of the IPEAK.
8.4
Input and output capacitor selection
It is recommended to use ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric and low ESR as
input and output capacitors, in order to filter any disturbance present in the input line and to
obtain stable operation. The output capacitor is very important for satisfying the output
voltage ripple requirements.
The output voltage ripple (VO_RIPPLE), in continuous mode, for the step-down channel, can
be calculated as:
Equation 5
⎤
⎡
1
VO _ RIPPLE = ΔIL × ⎢ESR +
⎥
8
C
F
×
×
OUT
SW
⎦
⎣
where Δ IL is the ripple current and FSW is the switching frequency.
The use of ceramic capacitors with voltage ratings in the range higher than 1.5 times the
maximum input or output voltage is recommended.
8.5
Layout considerations
Due to the high switching frequency and peak current, the layout is an important design step
for all switching power supplies. Important parameters (efficiency, output voltage ripple,
switching noise immunity, etc.) can be affected if the PCB layout is not designed paying
close attention to the following DC-DC general layout rules:
●
Short, wide traces must be implemented for mains current and for power ground paths.
The input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the IC pins as well as the
inductor and output capacitor.
●
The FB pin connection to the external resistor divider is a high impedance node, so
interference can be minimized by placing the routing of the feedback node as far as
possible from the high current paths. To reduce pick-up noise, the resistor divider must
be placed very close to the device.
●
A common ground node minimizes ground noise.
●
The exposed pad of the package must be connected to the common ground node.
Moreover, the exposed pad ground connection must be properly designed in order to
facilitate heat dissipation from the exposed pad to the ground layer using PCB vias.
