STMicroelectronics · DC-DC Converters · SOP-8
L5970D from STMicroelectronics, in a SOP-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 | output | Regulator output; absolute maximum DC voltage is -1 to 40 V, output peak voltage is -5 to 40 V at t = 0.1µs, and output current is internally limited. |
| 2 | SYNC | bidirectional | Master/slave synchronization pin; absolute maximum voltage is -0.3 to 4 V, with a low input voltage of 0.74 V maximum and a high input voltage of 2.5 V minimum. |
| 3 | INH | input | Active-high logic inhibit that disables the device, with thresholds of 0.8 V for device ON and 2.2 V for device OFF; it must be grounded if unused and an internal pull-up disables the device when open. |
| 4 | COMP | passive | Error amplifier output used for frequency compensation. |
| 5 | FB | input | Feedback input; connecting it directly to this pin gives an output voltage of 1.23 V, and an external resistive divider is required for higher output voltages. |
| 6 | VREF | power_out | 3.3V reference voltage output; no capacitor is required for stability. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | Ground. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Unregulated DC input voltage; operating input range is 4.4 V to 36 V and absolute maximum input voltage is 40 V. |
