STKNX Linear regulator dropout

AlexandreR

Hi,

I would like the DC/DC converter of STKNX to make 5V.

Also, I want the Linear regulator to make 3.3V

Because of global efficiency, I wanted to power the linear regulator with the 5V output of DC/DC converter.

I'm surprised that the datasheet specifies VDD_REGIN minimum voltage 6.8V, if VCC_SEL is shorted to ground (in order to make 3.3V linear regulator output).

Same for VDD_REGIN minimum voltage specified 8.5V, if VCC_SEL is shorted to VCC_Core (in order to make 5V linear regulator output).

This makes 3.5V voltage dropout, which seems pretty much to me.

 

Question: Is there a typography error in Datasheet? Or is the dropout of internal regulator as much as 3.5V ?

 

Many thanks,

   Alexandre
