L6986

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

L6986 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 Open collector output driven low when output voltage is out of regulation; released after adjustable time DELAY once output voltage exceeds active delay threshold.
2 VCC power_out Regulated LDO output (2.9-3.6 V) supplying embedded analog circuitry; requires ≥470 nF ceramic filter capacitor to GND.
3 SS/INH input Soft-start input with internal 4 µA charging current; open collector stage disables device when clamped to GND (INH mode).
4 SYNCH input Master/slave synchronization input; leave floating when not used in LNM.
5 FSW input Switching frequency selection via pinstrapping using pull-up to VCC or pull-down to GND (E24 series); active only before soft-start to minimize consumption.
6 MLF input Low noise mode/low consumption mode and active RST threshold selection via pinstrapping using pull-up to VCC or pull-down to GND (E24 series); active only before soft-start.
7 COMP output Error amplifier output with designed compensation network connected at this pin.
8 DELAY input External capacitor connected at this pin sets DELAY time to assert RST rising edge after output voltage exceeds reset threshold; floating pin makes RST behave as power-good output.
9 FB input Inverting input of error amplifier.
10 SGND power_in Signal ground reference.
11 PGND power_in Power ground reference.
12 PGND power_in Power ground reference.
13 LX output Switching node.
14 LX output Switching node.
15 VIN power_in DC input voltage with 4 to 38 V operating range.
16 VBIAS input Supply reference voltage typically connected to regulated output voltage; external voltage reference can be used to increase light-load efficiency; connect to GND if unused.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
