Product details
Overview
L6928D013TR 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 (0.6 V to VIN), 1.4 MHz fixed-frequency current-mode control, ±1% output accuracy, and 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation.
For engineers reviewing the L6928D013TR datasheet, L6928D013TR pinout, L6928D013TR application, or L6928D013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include input range (2–5.5 V), quiescent current (25 µA in low-consumption mode), PGOOD signaling, external synchronization capability (1–2 MHz), and integrated high/low-side MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The L6928D013TR employs a slope-compensated current-mode PWM architecture with internal 0.6 V reference and error amplifier. Its peak/valley current limiting (1.2 A typ. peak, 1.4 A typ. valley) enables robust short-circuit protection while maintaining regulation under dynamic load transients.
Two selectable light-load modes are controlled via the SYNC pin: low-consumption mode (discontinuous conduction, ~25 µA IQ) and low-noise mode (forced 1.4 MHz switching). External synchronization (1–2 MHz) overrides mode selection and activates low-noise operation, supporting noise-sensitive RF or audio subsystems.
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 V–4.2 V) plus margin. |
| Output Current | 800 mA max - sufficient for microcontrollers, sensors, and RF transceivers in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4 MHz fixed, externally synchronizable 1–2 MHz - enables compact LC filter design and EMI control. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typ. in low-consumption mode - extends battery life in standby or sleep states. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable core voltage for precision analog or digital loads. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0–100% - enables dropout operation when VIN ≈ VOUT, minimizing conduction loss at end-of-life battery voltage. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.2 µA max - meets ultra-low-power system shutdown requirements. |
| PGOOD Threshold | 90% of regulated VOUT - provides reliable power-rail monitoring with 4% hysteresis for clean sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP8 package (3.0 × 4.9 mm, 1.0 mm height, exposed thermal pad); RoHS-compliant ECOPACK®; 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 regulator; <0.4 V disables with 0.2 µA shutdown current. |
| 2 COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC compensation network (e.g., 220 pF to GND); sets loop stability and transient response. |
| 3 VFB | Feedback input | Monitors resistor-divider output; regulates VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + R2/R1); ±1% accuracy referenced to 0.6 V internal bandgap. |
| 4 GND | Power and signal ground | Common return path; E-pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
| 5 LX | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects internally to source of low-side NMOS and drain of high-side PMOS. |
| 6 VCC | Input supply and bias rail | Accepts 2–5.5 V; powers internal circuitry; includes 100 mV UVLO hysteresis for clean start-up. |
| 7 SYNC | Mode select / sync input | High (>1.3 V): low-consumption mode; Low (<0.5 V): low-noise mode; AC-coupled 1–2 MHz clock forces sync mode. |
| 8 PGOOD | Open-drain Power Good output | Pulled low when VOUT < 90% target; requires external pull-up to VOUT or VCC; enables system power sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated high-side PMOS and low-side NMOS eliminate external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by ~8–12% at medium loads. |
| Adjustable output (0.6 V min) | Supports core voltages for ARM Cortex-M MCUs (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V) and I/O rails (3.3 V) using two external resistors. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN – VDS(on) × ILOAD, critical for sustaining 3.3 V output as Li-ion drops from 3.4 V to 3.0 V. |
| Two light-load modes | Low-consumption mode reduces IQ to 25 µA; low-noise mode avoids sub-audio switching frequencies that interfere with audio codecs or ADCs. |
| Comprehensive protection suite | Includes OVP (10% overvoltage), short-circuit (peak + valley current limit), thermal shutdown (150 °C), and UVLO. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Industrial Handheld Scanner |

| GPS/GLONASS Tracker Module | Portable DSC Image Sensor Supply |
|
Use Scenario: Asset tracker logging location every 5 minutes using GPS+cellular modem, requiring ultra-low average power between fixes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail regulator generating 1.2 V for GPS baseband and 3.3 V for RF front-end; synchronized to host MCU clock to avoid beat frequencies. Use Value: External 1.5 MHz sync eliminates switching noise in GPS L1 band (1575.42 MHz); low-consumption mode cuts idle power to <1 µW. |
Use Scenario: Digital still camera with CMOS image sensor demanding low-noise, ripple-free 2.8 V supply during exposure and readout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated sensor rail regulator; low-noise mode suppresses sub-harmonic artifacts in raw image data caused by variable-frequency switching.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR (TI) | 3–5.5 V input; 0.6–5.5 V adjustable output; 300 mA max; 3.6 MHz switching; no PGOOD or sync input. | Limited to lower current and lacks PGOOD for sequencing; higher fSW enables smaller inductors but increases EMI risk in noise-sensitive receivers. | Select if board space is constrained and PGOOD/sync are unnecessary; verify thermal performance at 800 mA. |
| MAX17503GCU+ (Maxim) | 4.5–60 V input; 0.8–24 V output; 1.5 A max; 100–2200 kHz programmable fSW; includes PMBus interface. | Designed for industrial/high-voltage inputs; over-specified for Li-ion battery use; adds complexity and cost without benefit for portable designs. | Choose only if future-proofing for wider input range or digital configuration is required; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX17503GCU+, the L6928D013TR uniquely balances Li-ion input compatibility (2 V min), integrated PGOOD, external sync capability, and 800 mA output in a compact TSSOP8 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-optimized portable electronics where reliability and ease of layout matter most.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the L6928D013TR?
The L6928D013TR starts up when VCC reaches 2.2 V (typical turn-on threshold), with 100 mV hysteresis ensuring reliable restart after brownout. It continues operating down to 2.0 V, enabling full utilization of single Li-ion cells from 4.2 V to end-of-discharge at ~2.7 V.
Can the L6928D013TR operate without an external compensation network on the COMP pin?
No - a compensation network is mandatory for loop stability. ST specifies a 220 pF capacitor from COMP to GND as the baseline; for very low-ESR ceramic output capacitors, a series resistor (~50 kΩ) may be added to dampen potential ringing during load transients.
How does the PGOOD signal behave during startup and fault conditions?
PGOOD remains high-impedance (floating) until VOUT reaches 90% of its regulated value, then pulls low if VOUT drops below that threshold. During short-circuit or OVP events, PGOOD stays low; it resumes normal monitoring once regulation is restored and VOUT exceeds 90% again.
Is the exposed thermal pad (E-pad) electrically connected internally?
Yes - the E-pad is internally tied to GND and must be soldered to a dedicated PCB ground plane. This connection provides both thermal dissipation (reducing RthJA by ~30%) and low-inductance grounding for the power switches and feedback path.
