The all new ST Voltage Regulator Finder app will help engineers, purchasers, students to find and buy STMicroelectronics’ voltage regulators, precision voltage references, or DC/DC converters. The app is going to reduce the time spent in the search and offers convenience of choosing and buying from a smartphone or tablet.
Users can search by part number, parameter, or product family to identify suitable components and view key features in the app. Parametric searches are easily filtered, using checkboxes to choose options such as automotive or industrial qualification, and sliders to limit parameters like input or output voltage, output current, or reference voltage.
The other searchable parameters include package style, temperature range, and marketing status. The app also offers an option of ‘My Favorites’ where you can save the shortlisted components for future considerations.
The beauty is that the app works offline also. This enables users to identify the parts they need in the absence of Internet connection. The ST Voltage Regulator Finder is a free to use app available immediately for iOS and Android platforms in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
When connected, datasheets for the selected parts are just a tap away. There is a Sample and Buy option that gives live inventory at ST distributors, and Order Now goes directly to online purchasing from any chosen supplier. There are also handy links to find ST sales offices and distributors worldwide for support or further information.
As of now, the database contains over 1100 components, including buck, boost, buck/boost, and multi-output DC/DC converters, standard low-dropout regulators (LDOs) and high-PSRR, low-Iq (quiescent current), or ultra-low-dropout types, and precision voltage references.
