ST2S06 DC-DC Converter
Dual step-down converter with reset and enable for cost effective portable applications

ST2S06 Product Page

The new ST2S06 is an innovative dual step-down converter able to satisfy the ever increasing demand for highly integrated devices, reducing the PCB area in budget-minded portable applications. Two versions of ST2S06 are currently available with the two fold purpose of supplying an entire optical disk drive power board and to provide a highly compact point of load solution for medium power loads.

ST2S06 DC-DC Converter

Customization And Commodity All In One


ST2S06A has been specifically designed and tailored for high-end optical storage devices. It is able to supply the read channel LSI and the DSP / RF amplifier using only switching regulators. This minimizes the electrical losses for which linear regulators are definitely not the best in class solution. The ST2S06A integrates a reset block to avoid system malfunctioning that could occur if the input supply voltage extended out of the allowable range. Channel 1 output voltage is fixed to 3.3 V (2.5, 1.8, 1.5, 1.2 V under request) while channel 2 is adjustable from 0.8 V to 5 V.

Complete Solution With ST8R00


An ideal partner of this device in high definition optical drives is the step-up converter ST8R00 which is designed to supply the blue laser diode. Together with ST2S06 it provides the application with a complete solution for the main board power management. ST2S06B replaces the reset with the enable feature making the device suitable for a wide range of applications especially where the power dissipation and the consumption current are critical concerns for a proper and optimum functionality of the whole system. The highest application flexibility is guaranteed with the programmability of both output channels, starting from 0.8 V, by means of external resistor dividers.

ST2S06 Common Features


Because of the integrated synchronous rectification, the 1.5 MHz switching frequency, the intrinsic stability and the low output ripple, the external passive components can be small, low cost SMD inductors and capacitors.

Main Features


Dual step-down, PWM controller with embedded synchronous rectifier
Enable function (“B”)
Reset output flag monitoring the input (“A”)
High efficiency (Typ. 90 % @Vout = 1.2 V)
Very low ripple in all operating conditions
Fully integrated compensation network
Very small QFN12-4x4 mm package

Main Applications


Medium power step-down points of load
Stand-alone DVD player / recorder
Half height and slim DVD-RW, HD-DVD, Blu-ray Disc
