Product details
Overview
L6926013TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator in TSSOP8 package, designed for single-cell Li-ion battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 800 mA output current with adjustable voltage down to 0.6 V, 95% peak efficiency, and 1 µA shutdown current - enabling long runtime in portable instruments and handheld terminals.
For engineers reviewing the L6926013TR datasheet, L6926013TR pinout, L6926013TR application, or L6926013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 kHz fixed-frequency current-mode control, external synchronization capability (500 kHz–1.4 MHz), low-noise/low-consumption mode selection via SYNC pin, and integrated Power Good signal with ±1% output accuracy.
Technical Context
The L6926013TR employs a slope-compensated current-mode PWM architecture with internal high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 240 mΩ / 215 mΩ typ.), enabling stable operation up to 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout. Its error amplifier drives COMP with 220 pF compensation, and VFB references a precise 0.600 V internal bandgap.
Mode selection is hardware-driven: SYNC pin voltage determines low-consumption (VSYNC > 1.3 V) or low-noise (VSYNC < 0.5 V) operation; external clock injection (500 kHz–1.4 MHz) forces low-noise mode and disables sync during OVP/short-circuit events for protection integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports full discharge curve of single Li-ion cell (2.7 V–4.2 V) without brownout. |
| Output Current | 800 mA max - sufficient for core logic and RF sections in cellular phones and GPS modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz fixed (or 500–1400 kHz synchronized) - balances EMI control and inductor size in space-constrained PCBs. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over line/load/temperature - ensures stable supply to precision ADCs and RF front-ends. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA - extends battery life in standby modes of PDAs and handheld terminals. |
| PGOOD Threshold | 90% of regulated VOUT with 4 mV hysteresis - provides reliable power-rail monitoring for system reset sequencing. |
| Peak Current Limit | 1.2 A typ. - enables robust start-up into capacitive loads and transient overload tolerance. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP8 package (3.0 × 4.9 mm, 1.0 mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed E-pad connected to GND for optimal junction-to-board thermal resistance (RthJA = 180 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RUN | Enable/shutdown control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.3 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V forces shutdown with ≤1 µA supply current. |
| 2 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network (e.g., 220 pF to GND); sets loop stability and transient response. |
| 3 VFB | Feedback input | Senses resistor divider output; regulates VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + R2/R1) with 0.600 V reference. |
| 4 GND | Power and signal ground | Common return path for LX, VCC, and feedback; E-pad must be soldered to PCB GND plane. |
| 5 LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries pulsed current up to 1.2 A peak; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI. |
| 6 VCC | Input supply and bias rail | Accepts 2–5.5 V; powers internal circuitry; UVLO threshold = 2.2 V (100 mV hysteresis). |
| 7 SYNC | Mode select / sync input | Dual-function: logic level selects low-noise/low-consumption mode; AC signal synchronizes switching frequency. |
| 8 PGOOD | Open-drain Power Good output | Pulled low when VOUT < 90% target; requires external pull-up to VOUT or VCC for system monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous power stage | Eliminates external Schottky diode; reduces BOM count and board area while improving efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Selectable light-load operation | Low-consumption mode cuts quiescent current to 25 µA at no load; low-noise mode maintains 600 kHz switching for EMI-sensitive RF sections. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout support | Enables regulation down to VIN – 0.1 V (e.g., 2.8 V out from 2.9 V input), critical for end-of-discharge battery operation. |
| Comprehensive protection suite | Includes overvoltage protection (10% above VREF), short-circuit current limiting (peak + valley), thermal shutdown (150 °C), and UVLO. |
| External frequency synchronization | Allows noise-sensitive systems (e.g., audio codecs, GPS receivers) to align switching harmonics away from critical bands. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYT | Fixed 1.8 V output (non-adjustable); 2.05–6.5 V input; 300 mA IOUT; 2.25 MHz switching; no PGOOD or sync. | Lower cost for fixed-VOUT designs; insufficient current for dual-rail systems requiring >500 mA. | Select only if output voltage is fixed and load current ≤300 mA; lacks PGOOD for safety-critical monitoring. |
| MAX17502GTA+ | Adjustable VOUT (0.8–5.5 V); 4.5–36 V input; 600 mA IOUT; 100–2500 kHz sync; includes spread-spectrum modulation. | Higher input range suits industrial 12 V rails; lower max current and larger VFQFN package limit portable use. | Prefer for wide-input industrial supplies; avoid in space-constrained Li-ion devices due to thermal derating above 85 °C. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYT and MAX17502GTA+, the L6926013TR uniquely combines single-cell Li-ion compatibility (2–5.5 V), 800 mA output, PGOOD, and dual-mode light-load control in a compact TSSOP8 - making it optimal for battery runtime-critical portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start regulation on the L6926013TR?
The L6926013TR has a turn-on threshold of 2.2 V (typ.) with 100 mV hysteresis, meaning it begins regulation when VCC rises above 2.2 V and remains active down to 2.1 V before shutting off. This allows operation across the full discharge curve of a single Li-ion cell, including the final 0.2 V before cutoff.
Can the L6926013TR operate without an external compensation network on the COMP pin?
No - the COMP pin requires an external compensation network (typically a 220 pF capacitor to GND) to stabilize the current-mode control loop. Omitting this causes subharmonic oscillation and output voltage instability, especially at duty cycles >50%. ST confirms loop stability is guaranteed only with the recommended 220 pF capacitor.
How does the PGOOD signal behave during startup and fault conditions?
PGOOD is an open-drain output pulled low when VOUT falls below 90% of the regulated value, and goes high (via external pull-up) when VOUT exceeds that threshold. During startup, it asserts high only after output settles within regulation; during overvoltage or short-circuit, it remains low until recovery, providing unambiguous power-rail status.
Is the E-pad on the TSSOP8 package electrically connected internally?
Yes - the exposed E-pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB's GND plane. This connection is mandatory for thermal performance (reducing RthJA from 180 °C/W to ~120 °C/W) and electrical stability, as it serves as the primary return path for high-frequency switch-node currents.
