A6986ITR

STMicroelectronics · DC-DC Converters · HTSSOP-16

A6986ITR from STMicroelectronics, in a HTSSOP-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 the DELAY time once the primary output is over the active delay threshold.
2 VCC power_out Internal regulated reference rail that must be filtered with a ceramic capacitor of at least 470 nF and supplies the embedded analog circuitry.
3 SS / INH bidirectional Open-collector inhibit input that disables the device when clamped to GND, and soft-start pin charged by an internal 4 µA typical current generator through an external capacitor.
4 SYNCH input Master/slave synchronization pin that must be left floating when synchronization is not used.
5 FSW input Switching frequency selection pin, set by a E24-series pull-up to VCC or pull-down to GND, with the strapping active only before the soft-start phase.
6 MLF input Connect to ground directly or through a pull-down resistor to adjust the RST threshold as defined in Table 7.
7 COMP passive Output of the error amplifier, where the designed compensation network is connected.
8 DELAY passive An external capacitor sets the RST rising-edge delay after the output exceeds the reset threshold; if left floating, RST behaves like a Power Good.
9 FB input Primary output voltage sensing input.
10 SGND power_in Signal ground, which must be connected to the exposed pad.
11 PGND power_in Power ground, which must be connected to the exposed pad.
12 PGND power_in Power ground, which must be connected to the exposed pad.
13 LX output Switching node; absolute maximum voltage is VIN + 0.3 V (LX rated -0.3 V to VIN + 0.3 V).
14 LX output Switching node; absolute maximum voltage is VIN + 0.3 V (LX rated -0.3 V to VIN + 0.3 V).
15 VIN power_in DC input voltage, rated -0.3 V to 40 V absolute maximum, with a 4 V to 38 V operating input range.
16 VBIAS power_in Typically connected to the regulated primary output if it does not exceed 6 V; otherwise connect it to GND.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
