A7986ATR

STMicroelectronics · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8

A7986ATR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 OUT power_out Regulator output; the output DC voltage is limited to -0.3 V to VCC per the absolute maximum ratings.
2 SYNCH bidirectional Master/slave synchronization pin: left floating it outputs a signal half a period out of phase with power turn-on, and when driven by an external signal above the internal frequency the device synchronizes to it with zero phase shift; its analog pin voltage is limited to -0.3 V to 4 V.
3 EN input Active-high enable: the device is ON above 1.2 V and OFF below 0.3 V, with the pin rated -0.3 V to VCC.
4 COMP output Error amplifier output used for loop frequency compensation; its analog pin voltage is limited to -0.3 V to 4 V.
5 FB input Feedback input: connecting VOUT directly regulates the output at 0.6 V (VFB 0.588 V to 0.612 V), and higher voltages require an external resistor divider from VOUT; the feedback voltage is rated -0.3 V to 1.5 V.
6 FSW passive Switching frequency set pin: an external resistor to ground raises the frequency above the 250 kHz free-running value (up to 1 MHz with RFSW = 33 kΩ), and leaving it floating gives 250 kHz; the analog pin voltage is limited to -0.3 V to 4 V.
7 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
8 VCC power_in Unregulated DC input voltage with an operating range of 4.5 V to 38 V and an absolute maximum of 45 V.
