L6926 High efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down regulator Datasheet - production data Applications Battery-powered equipment Portable instruments Cellular phones TSSOP8 VFQFPN8 PDAs and handheld terminals (3x3x1.0 mm) DSC GPS Features 2 V to 5.5 V battery input range Description High efficiency: up to 95% The device is a DC-DC monolithic regulator Internal synchronous switch specifically designed to provide high efficiency. No external Schottky diode required The L6926 supply voltage can be as low as 2 V Extremely low quiescent current to be used in single Li-Ion cell supplied 1 A max. shutdown supply current applications. Output voltage can be selected by 800 mA max. output current an external divider down to 0.6 V. Duty cycle can Adjustable output voltage from 0.6 V saturate 100% allowing low-dropout operation. Low-dropout operation: up to 100% duty The device is based on a 600 kHz fixed cycle frequency, current mode architecture. Low Selectable low noise/low consumption mode consumption mode operation can be selected at at light load light load conditions, allowing switching losses to Power Good signal be reduced. The L6926 is externally 1% output voltage accuracy synchronized by a clock, which makes it useful in noise sensitive applications. Other features like Current mode control Power Good, overvoltage protection, short-circuit 600 kHz switching frequency protection and thermal shutdown (150 C) are Externally synchronized from 500 kHz to 1.4 also present.
