Description
The device is DC-DC monolithic regulator specifically designed to provide extremely high efficiency. L6928 supply voltage can be as low as 2 V allowing its use in single Li-Ion cell supplied applications. Output voltage can be selected by an external divider down to 0.6 V. Duty cycle can saturate to 100% allowing low dropout operation. The device is based on a 1.4 MHz fixed frequency, current mode architecture. Low consumption mode operation can be selected at light load conditions, allowing switching losses to be reduced. L6928 is externally synchronizable with a clock which makes it useful in noise sensitive applications. Other features like Power Good, overvoltage protection, short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown (150 °C) are also present.

Description |

|
|
|
|
1 |
RUN |
Shutdown input. When connected to a low level (lower than 0.4 V) the device |
|
stops working. When high (higher than 1.3 V) the device is enabled. |
|||
|
|
||
|
|
|
|
2 |
COMP |
Error amplifier output. A compensation network has to be connected to this pin. |
|
Usually a 220 pF capacitor is enough to guarantee the loop stability. |
|||
|
|
|
|
3 |
VFB |
Error amplifier inverting input. The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.6 V up |
|
to the input voltage by connecting this pin to an external resistor divider. |
|||
|
|
||
|
|
|
|
4 |
GND |
Ground. |
|
|
|

LX |
Switch output node. This pin is internally connected to the drain of the internal |
|
switches. |
|||
|
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
Input voltage. The start up input voltage is 2.2 V (typ) while the operating input |
|
6 |
VCC |
voltage range is from 2 V to 5.5 V. An internal UVLO circuit realizes a 100 mV |
|
|
|
(typ.) hysteresis. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Operating mode selector input. When high (higher than 1.3 V) the low |
|
|
|
consumption mode is selected. When low (lower than 0.5 V) the low noise mode |
|
7 |
SYNC |
is selected. If connected with an appropriate external synchronization signal |
|
|
|
(from 500 kHz up to 1.4 MHz) the internal synchronization circuit is activated |
|
|
|
and the device works at the same switching frequency. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Power good comparator output. It is an open drain output. A pull-up resistor |
|
8 |
PGOOD |
should be connected between PGOOD and VOUT (or VCC depending on the |
|
requirements). The pin is forced low when the output voltage is lower than 90% |
|||
|
|
of the regulated output voltage and goes high when the output voltage is greater |
|
|
|
than 90% of the regulated output voltage. If not used the pin can be left floating. |
|
|
