L6981N33DR

STMicroelectronics · DC-DC Converters · SO-8

L6981N33DR from STMicroelectronics, in a SO-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 SW output Switching node that drives the external LC output filter; oscillates between near-VIN and near-GND at 360 to 440 KHz switching frequency.
2 BOOT passive Bootstrap capacitor connection; connect 100 nF capacitor between BOOT and SW to supply gate drive charge to internal high-side NMOS.
3 VCC power_in Power supply for internal analog circuitry; connect ceramic capacitor (≥ 1 µF) to AGND for filtering; regulated to 3.0 to 3.6 V.
4 VOUT/FB output Output voltage sensing pin; for N33DR variant this is VOUT with internal voltage divider set to 3.3 V fixed output.
5 EN/CLKIN input Enable control pin with rising threshold 1.08 to 1.32 V and falling threshold 1.0 V; also accepts external clock input (200 to 500 KHz) for synchronization in LNM mode.
6 AGND power_in Analog ground reference for internal signal processing and voltage sensing circuits.
7 VIN power_in DC input voltage pin with operating range 3.5 to 38 V; supplies power to internal switches and analog circuits.
8 PGND power_in Power ground connection for output power stage and switching circuits.
