STMicroelectronics STEVAL-3603BC1 Evaluation Board
STMicroelectronics STEVAL-3603BC1 Evaluation Board demonstrates a smart converter design, able to deliver up to 3A output current from a 3.3V to 36V input, with a 5.0V output voltage. The board features the DCP3603 miniaturized synchronous step-down converter, which implements enhanced peak current control and advanced design circuitry to minimize quiescent current.
The board demonstrates how highly efficient conversion can be achieved with just DCP3603, an inductor, two small capacitors, and two resistors. The board highlights key application benefits made possible by STMicroelectronics DCP3603, including high efficiency and small PCB size. It is ideal for power conversion solutions in major appliances, smart metering, industrial 24V bus conversion, and general-purpose wide Vin power supplies. The device used on this board is supplied in the thin SOT-23-6L package.
