L5991D013TR

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

L5991D013TR 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 pin: as master it delivers positive pulses during the oscillator fall, and as slave it is edge-triggered by an external sync pulse (low level 1V max, high level 3.5V min).
2 RCT passive Oscillator pin for the external CT, RA and RB components that set the normal-mode frequency fosc and standby frequency fSB.
3 DC input Duty cycle control: a voltage between 1V and 3V sets the maximum duty cycle between 0 and Dx, a voltage below 1V inhibits the driver output, and leaving it floating gives no duty-cycle limit (internal pull-up holds it above 3V).
4 VREF power_out Reference voltage of 5.0V ±1.5% at 25°C able to deliver some mA to an external circuit, with a small film capacitor (0.1µF typ.) recommended to SGND.
5 VFB input Error amplifier inverting input, compared against the internal 2.5V reference to set the control voltage.
6 COMP output Error amplifier output, used for loop compensation connected to VFB; its voltage is also monitored to enter standby, with thresholds VT1 2.5V and VT2 4V.
7 SS passive Soft-start pin: external capacitor Css to SGND is charged by an internal current (ISSC, 14 to 26µA) up to about 7V.
8 VCC power_in Supply for the internal signal circuitry; the device starts above the startup voltage (15V typ. for L5991, 8.4V typ. for L5991A) and shuts down below the UVLO threshold, with an internal zener limiting VCC to 25V.
9 VC power_in Supply for the power section feeding the external switch driver, which absorbs pulsed current and needs a buffer capacitor to PGND (pin 11).
10 OUT output High-current totem-pole driver output (1.6A source, 2A sink peak) for a power MOSFET or BJT, with an internal clamp limiting the gate voltage to 13V.
11 PGND power_in Power ground: the return path for the external MOSFET gate discharge current, which should be kept short and separate from signal currents.
12 SGND power_in Signal ground referencing the control circuitry; all ground connections of the control-function external parts must lead to this pin.
13 ISEN input Current sense input connected to the hot end of Rsense, where the switch is turned off at the peak-current threshold and a voltage above 1.2V triggers hiccup overcurrent protection, with about 100ns leading-edge blanking.
14 DIS input Device disable: when the voltage rises above 2.5V the IC shuts down (latched) until VCC is pulled below the UVLO threshold; it must never be left floating and should be tied to SGND if unused.
15 DC-LIM input Maximum duty-cycle limit: connecting it to VREF limits the duty cycle to 50% and halves the output frequency, while floating or grounding it imposes no limit.
16 ST-BY passive Standby function pin: connect a resistor to RCT (with RA) to set the standby frequency; connect it to VREF or leave it floating if the standby function is not used.
