Product details
Overview
L6926D1013TR 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, 600 kHz fixed switching frequency, ±1% output accuracy, and 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation.
For engineers reviewing the L6926D1013TR datasheet, L6926D1013TR pinout, L6926D1013TR application, or L6926D1013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include input range (2–5.5 V), quiescent current (25 µA in low-consumption mode), internal synchronous FETs, PGOOD signal, and external synchronization capability (500 kHz–1.4 MHz).
Technical Context
The L6926D1013TR implements a current-mode PWM controller with slope-compensated architecture, enabling stable operation at duty cycles >50%. Its dual-mode operation-low-noise (600 kHz continuous) and low-consumption (discontinuous conduction at light load)-is selected via the SYNC pin voltage threshold (0.5 V / 1.3 V).
Protection features include valley-current limiting (1.4 A typ.), overvoltage protection (10% above VREF), thermal shutdown (150 °C), and short-circuit recovery with minimum on-time clamping (250 ns). The error amplifier drives COMP with 220 pF compensation, and PGOOD provides open-drain monitoring of VFB at 90% regulation threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports full discharge curve of single Li-Ion cell (2.7–4.2 V nominal + headroom). |
| Output Current | 800 mA max - sufficient for core logic or RF subsystems in portable devices without external boost. |
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz fixed (or 500 kHz–1.4 MHz synchronized) - balances EMI control and inductor size in space-constrained layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typ. in low-consumption mode - extends battery runtime during standby/sleep states. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.8 V or 3.3 V I/O domains. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0–100% - enables dropout operation when VIN ≈ VOUT, minimizing conduction loss near battery end-of-life. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.2 µA max - meets ultra-low-power system wake-up requirements with minimal leakage drain. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP8 package (3.0 × 4.9 mm, 1.0 mm height) with exposed thermal pad (E-pad) requiring GND connection for optimal thermal performance (RthJA = 180 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RUN | Enable/shutdown control input | Active-high logic: >1.3 V enables regulator; <0.4 V disables with 0.2 µA shutdown current. |
| 2 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network (typically 220 pF to GND); sets loop stability and transient response. |
| 3 VFB | Feedback input | Resistor-divider node sensing output voltage; internal 0.6 V reference enables 0.6–VIN adjustable regulation. |
| 4 GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for power path, control circuitry, and E-pad; must be low-impedance plane connection. |
| 5 LX | Switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| 6 VCC | Input supply and bias rail | Accepts 2–5.5 V; powers internal circuitry; includes UVLO with 100 mV hysteresis (2.2 V turn-on). |
| 7 SYNC | Mode select / sync input | High (>1.3 V): low-consumption mode; Low (<0.5 V): low-noise mode; External clock: forces sync mode. |
| 8 PGOOD | Power Good open-drain output | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 90% of target; requires external pull-up to VOUT or VCC; used for sequencing or fault detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronous MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and PCB area while improving efficiency by ~5–8% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Selectably optimized light-load behavior | SYNC pin toggles between low-noise (fixed 600 kHz) and low-consumption (discontinuous) modes-enabling design trade-off between EMI and battery life. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Permits dropout regulation down to VIN – VDS(on), critical for maintaining 3.3 V output as Li-Ion discharges from 4.2 V to 2.7 V. |
| Integrated protections | Valley-current limit (1.4 A), OVP (10% over VREF), thermal shutdown (150 °C), and short-circuit recovery with min-TON clamping ensure robust field reliability. |
| PGOOD with 90% threshold | Enables precise power-rail monitoring for microcontroller reset assertion or system-level sequencing without external comparators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | Fixed 3.3 V output (non-adjustable); 2.05–6.5 V input; 300 mA max; 3.6 MHz switching; no PGOOD or SYNC. | Targeted at simpler, cost-sensitive applications where output voltage is fixed and light-load efficiency is secondary. | Choose if board space is critical (1.6 × 1.6 mm WSON) and system does not require programmability or sequencing signals. |
| MAX17503GCU+ | 4.5–60 V input; 2 A output; external MOSFETs; adjustable frequency (100 kHz–2.2 MHz); no integrated low-consumption mode. | Designed for industrial/high-voltage battery stacks (e.g., 12 V lead-acid or multi-cell LiPo), not single-cell portable use. | Choose only for wide-input, high-current applications where L6926D1013TR's 5.5 V max input is insufficient. |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and MAX17503GCU+, the L6926D1013TR uniquely combines single-cell Li-Ion compatibility (2–5.5 V), 800 mA output, adjustable VOUT, PGOOD, and dual-mode light-load optimization-making it irreplaceable for compact, battery-life-sensitive portable designs requiring flexibility and reliability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the L6926D1013TR?
The L6926D1013TR has a typical turn-on threshold of 2.2 V at the VCC pin, with 100 mV hysteresis. Startup is guaranteed down to 2.0 V after initial enable, making it compatible with deeply discharged single Li-Ion cells (down to ~2.5 V under load). Below 2.0 V, the internal UVLO circuit disables operation to prevent erratic behavior.
Can the L6926D1013TR operate without an external compensation network on the COMP pin?
No. The COMP pin requires an external RC network-typically a 220 pF capacitor to GND-for loop stability. Omitting it causes oscillation or poor transient response. For very low-ESR ceramic output capacitors, a series resistor (~50 kΩ) added to the 220 pF cap may be needed to damp high-frequency peaking observed during load steps.
How does the PGOOD signal behave during startup and fault conditions?
PGOOD asserts high only when VOUT reaches and sustains ≥90% of its regulated value, determined by the VFB divider. During startup, it remains low until regulation is achieved. Under undervoltage (e.g., overload or input dip), it pulls low immediately. If unused, the pin may be left floating-no pull-up is mandatory unless sequencing or monitoring is implemented.
Is the E-pad on the TSSOP8 package electrically connected internally?
Yes-the E-pad is internally tied to GND and must be soldered to a solid GND plane for thermal and electrical performance. Thermal resistance drops from 180 °C/W (no E-pad connection) to ~120 °C/W with proper GND via stitching, directly impacting maximum sustainable output current at elevated ambient temperatures.
