L6986TR

STMicroelectronics · DC-DC Converters · HTSSOP-16-EP

L6986TR from STMicroelectronics, in a HTSSOP-16-EP. 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 RST output RST is an open-collector output that is driven low when the output voltage is out of regulation and is released after an adjustable DELAY time once the output is over the active delay threshold.
2 VCC power_out VCC is the internal LDO output that requires a ceramic capacitor of at least 470 nF to filter the internal voltage reference and supplies the embedded analog circuitry.
3 SS/INH input Pulling this pin to GND with an open-collector stage disables the device (INH mode), and an internal 4 A typical current generator charges the external soft-start capacitor.
4 SYNCH input This pin provides master/slave synchronization and should be left floating when not used in LNM.
5 FSW input A pull-up resistor (E24 series) to VCC or pull-down to GND selects the switching frequency, with pinstrapping active only before the soft-start phase.
6 MLF input A pull-up resistor (E24 series) to VCC or pull-down to GND selects low noise or low consumption mode and the active RST threshold, with pinstrapping active only before the soft-start phase.
7 COMP output COMP is the output of the error amplifier, where the compensation network is connected.
8 DELAY passive An external capacitor on this pin sets the time delay before the RST open-collector output is asserted after the output exceeds the reset threshold, and if left floating RST acts like a power good.
9 FB input FB is the inverting input of the error amplifier, with a feedback reference of 0.85 V typical.
10 SGND power_in SGND is the signal ground and must be connected to the exposed pad.
11 PGND power_in PGND is the power ground and must be connected to the exposed pad.
12 PGND power_in PGND is the power ground and must be connected to the exposed pad.
13 LX output LX is the switching node, with absolute maximum rating of -0.3 V to VIN + 0.3 V and high-side/low-side switch current limited to 2 A.
14 LX output LX is the switching node, with absolute maximum rating of -0.3 V to VIN + 0.3 V and high-side/low-side switch current limited to 2 A.
15 VIN power_in VIN is the DC input voltage, with operating range of 4 V to 38 V and absolute maximum of 40 V.
16 VBIAS input VBIAS is typically connected to the regulated output voltage and can take an external reference to improve light-load efficiency, or be connected to GND if not used.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
