A6986TR

STMicroelectronics · DC-DC Converters · TSSOP-16

A6986TR from STMicroelectronics, in a TSSOP-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 RST output Open-collector reset 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 Connect a ceramic capacitor of at least 470 nF to filter the internal voltage reference; this pin supplies the embedded analog circuitry.
3 SS/INH bidirectional Clamping this pin to GND disables the device (INH mode), and an internal current generator of 4 A typ. charges the external capacitor to implement the soft-start.
4 SYNCH input Master/slave synchronization pin for LNM operation; leave floating when not used.
5 FSW input A pull-up resistor (E24 series only) to VCC or a pull-down to GND selects the switching frequency, and pin strapping is active only before the soft-start phase.
6 MLF input A pull-up resistor (E24 series only) to VCC or a pull-down to GND selects low noise mode/low consumption mode and the active RST threshold, and pin strapping is active only before the soft-start phase.
7 COMP passive Output of the error amplifier, to which the designed compensation network is connected.
8 DELAY passive An external capacitor sets the time DELAY to assert the rising edge of RST after the output voltage is over the reset threshold; if left floating, RST behaves like a power good.
9 FB input Inverting input of the error amplifier.
10 SGND power_in Signal ground; the exposed pad must be connected to SGND and PGND.
11 PGND power_in Power ground.
12 PGND power_in Power ground.
13 LX output Switching node; absolute maximum rating is -0.3 V to VIN + 0.3 V.
14 LX output Switching node; absolute maximum rating is -0.3 V to VIN + 0.3 V.
15 VIN power_in DC input voltage, with an operating input range of 4 V to 38 V.
16 VBIAS power_in Typically connected to the regulated output voltage to supply part of the analog circuitry for better light-load efficiency; connect to GND if not used.
