Description
The L6986H is a step-down monolithic switching regulator able to deliver up to 2 A
DC. The output voltage adjustability ranges from 0.85 V to VIN. Thanks to the P-
channel MOSFET high-side power element, the device features 100% duty cycle
operation. The wide input voltage range meets the specification for the 5 V, 12 V and
24 V power supplies.
The “low consumption mode” (LCM) is designed for applications active during idle
mode, so it maximizes the efficiency at light-load with controlled output voltage ripple.
The “low noise mode” (LNM) makes the switching frequency constant and minimizes
the output voltage ripple overload current range, meeting the low noise application
specifications. The output voltage supervisor manages the reset phase for any digital
load (µC, FPGA). The RST open collector output can also implement output voltage
sequencing during the power-up phase. The synchronous rectification, designed for
high efficiency at medium - heavy load, and the high switching frequency capability
make the size of the application compact. Pulse by pulse current sensing on both
power elements implements an effective constant current protection.
