L5991D

STMicroelectronics · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SO-16

L5991D from STMicroelectronics, in a SO-16. 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 SYNC bidirectional Synchronization pulse input/output for master-slave PWM cycle control or oscillator frequency synchronization.
2 RCT passive Oscillator timing pin for external RC frequency-setting components (RA, RB, CT).
3 DC input Duty cycle control input voltage (1-3V nominal) setting maximum PWM duty cycle from 0% to Dx.
4 VREF power_out 5.0V ±1.5% reference voltage output capable of supplying external circuit biasing networks.
5 VFB input Error amplifier inverting input for feedback voltage comparison with internal 2.5V reference.
6 COMP output Error amplifier output for frequency compensation network connection and standby operation monitoring.
7 SS passive Soft-start capacitor connection node charged during power-up to approximately 7V for current-limiting control.
8 VCC power_in Controller signal supply voltage input (12-20V typical, ICC<50mA), with internal 25V Zener clamp.
9 VC power_in Power stage driver supply voltage input (12-20V typical) with high pulsed current capability for gate drive.
10 OUT output High-current totem-pole gate driver output for external power MOSFET with 1A peak drive capability and 13V internal clamp.
11 PGND power_in Power section ground return path for gate driver current loop closure.
12 SGND power_in Signal section ground reference for control and feedback circuits.
13 ISEN input Current sense input connected to primary switch sense resistor for pulse-by-pulse current limiting with 100ns leading-edge blanking.
14 DIS input Disable control input that shuts down IC when voltage exceeds 2.5V; must be tied to SGND if unused.
15 DC-LIM input Maximum duty cycle limit control; tie to VREF for 50% maximum duty cycle or leave floating for unrestricted maximum.
16 ST-BY passive Standby function control pin with external resistor RB for light-load oscillator frequency reduction.
