STMicroelectronics Demonstration Board for ST7580 for Power Line Applications / 1961854

The STEVAL-ISA133V1 demonstration board implements a 7.5 W double output wide range mains adapter with constant-voltage/constant-current, designed as an innovative AC-DC adapter to supply a complete power line communication system based on the ST7580. The power supply provides a 13 V output voltage to supply the power line modem (PLM) and the Analogue circuitry, and a post-regulated 3.3 volts to supply digital circuitry and an optional external microcontroller. The STEVAL-ISA133V1 demonstration board uses the new ALTAIR04-900, a quasi-resonant (QR) current-mode controller IC specifically designed for QR ZVS (zero voltage switching at switch turn-on) flyback converters, which combines a high-performance low-voltage PWM controller chip and a typical 16 RDSon, 900 V, avalanche-rugged power MOSFET in the same package. The device is capable of providing constant output voltage regulation using primary-sensing constant voltage loop (CV loop).
