STMicroelectronics – Energy-Saving Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converters
The L6986, housed in a HTSSOP16 package, is the first member of the step-down monolithic synchronous DC-DC converters family. It features an output current of up to 2A and input voltage range from 4 to 38V, an operating IQ of 30μA and a switching frequency of up to 2MHz. It allows synchronous rectification; a current and voltage protection is embedded.
With these features, the DC-DC converter provides high efficiency and compactness, reduced BOM costs, high design flexibility, robustness and reliability. This makes it ideal for industrial applications requiring high efficiency, as well as factory and building automation applications and PLCs.
