Product details
Overview
L7983PU50R from STMicroelectronics is a 60 V, 300 mA synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator with fixed 5.0 V output, peak current mode control, internal compensation, and dynamic Low Noise Mode (LNM)/Low Consumption Mode (LCM) selection. It operates from 3.5 V to 60 V input, delivers 10 µA quiescent current in LCM (VIN > 24 V), supports 200 kHz–2.2 MHz programmable switching frequency, and integrates overvoltage, thermal, and cycle-by-cycle current protection. Used in industrial 24 V/48 V bus power supplies for microcontrollers and sensors.
For engineers reviewing the L7983PU50R datasheet, L7983PU50R pinout, L7983PU50R application, or L7983PU50R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 V ±1.5% output accuracy at 25 °C, 2.3 µA shutdown current, RST open-collector reset output with 92% VREF release threshold, and LNM/LCM pin-controlled noise-efficiency trade-off - critical for fail-safe sensor nodes and battery-powered edge devices.
Technical Context
The L7983PU50R implements a peak current mode, constant-frequency buck architecture with integrated high-side P-MOSFET and low-side N-MOSFET, anti-shoot-through logic, and adaptive dead-time control. Its internal trans-conductor (gm) error amplifier and slope-compensated PWM comparator enable stable regulation without external compensation components.
Dynamic mode selection via the LNM/LCM pin enables real-time switching between constant-frequency LNM (for low ripple and fast transient response) and variable-frequency LCM (for <10 µA light-load IQ). Synchronization to external clocks (180–2400 kHz) and spread-spectrum dithering further reduce EMI in noise-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 60 V - supports direct connection to 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V industrial buses without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.000 V ±0.5% (typ.) at 25 °C - internally trimmed reference eliminates external resistor divider for fixed-output use. |
| Output Current | 300 mA DC continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and analog sensors in decentralized nodes. |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA in LCM (VIN > 24 V) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz programmable via FSW pin resistor - allows optimization of size (high fSW) vs. efficiency (low fSW). |
| Reset Output (RST) | Open-drain, active-low, 92% VREF release threshold with 2 ms delay - provides reliable power-up sequencing for digital loads. |
| OVP Threshold | 120% of VREF (i.e., 6.0 V for L7983PU50R) with 2% hysteresis - prevents damage to downstream 5 V logic during overvoltage faults. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165 °C trip with 30 °C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: HTSSOP-10 (exposed pad), 3.1 mm × 3.1 mm × 1.0 mm, RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance RthJA = 50 °C/W on standard demo board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VOUT/FB | Output voltage sensing / feedback node | Internally connected to 5.0 V divider; shorted to output capacitor for fixed-output operation - no external resistors required. |
| 2 VBIAS | Bias supply input for internal LDO | Connect to VOUT or auxiliary rail to improve light-load efficiency; tie to GND if unused - enables switchover to lower-loss bias path. |
| 3 VCC | Internal LDO output | Supplies analog circuitry; requires 470 nF ceramic bypass to GND - not intended for external loading. |
| 4 FSW | Switching frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND or VCC sets fSW from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz - pinstrapping occurs before soft-start to minimize startup current. |
| 5 LNM/LCM | Mode selection / clock sync input | High = LNM (constant fSW, low ripple); low = LCM (variable fSW, ultra-low IQ); also accepts 180–2400 kHz external clock. |
| 6 RST | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92% of VREF or OVP occurs; releases after 2 ms delay and hysteresis recovery - enables MCU/FPGA power sequencing. |
| 7 EN/UVLO | Enable / input undervoltage lockout | VIN-compatible; external resistor divider programs UVLO threshold - ensures clean start-up only above valid bus voltage. |
| 8 VIN | Main power input | Accepts 3.5–60 V DC; feeds both power stage and internal LDO - designed for harsh industrial environments with wide input transients. |
| 9 LX | Switching node | Connects HS and LS MOSFET drains; requires low-ESR ceramic output capacitor and shielded inductor - critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| 10 GND + EP | Power and signal ground / thermal pad | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane - primary thermal path; reduces junction temperature rise by ~30 °C under full load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous power stage | P-channel HS + N-channel LS MOSFETs with anti-shoot-through and adaptive dead-time - eliminates external diode, achieves >90% efficiency at medium load. |
| Dynamic LNM/LCM mode switching | Real-time pin-controlled transition between low-noise (constant fSW) and low-IQ (skip-mode) operation - adapts to changing system load without firmware intervention. |
| Programmable spread-spectrum dithering | ±5% triangular frequency modulation via FSW pin configuration - reduces peak EMI by up to 10 dB without increasing output ripple significantly. |
| Internal soft-start and reset supervision | Fixed 2 ms soft-start time + RST open-collector output with 92% VREF threshold - ensures glitch-free power-up of digital loads and avoids brown-out resets. |
| Robust fault protection suite | Cycle-by-cycle OCP, valley-current limit, overvoltage (120% VREF), thermal shutdown (165 °C), and UVLO - all auto-recovering with no latch-up behavior. |
| VIN-compatible enable with UVLO programming | EN pin accepts up to 60 V; external resistor divider sets precise turn-on voltage - simplifies interface with unregulated industrial buses. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36506RNXR | 65 V input, 600 mA output, 26 µA IQ in FPWM mode, no LNM/LCM dynamic switching | Lacks real-time noise-efficiency mode toggle; fixed PWM only - less optimal for mixed-signal systems with bursty loads | Choose for higher current needs where constant-frequency operation suffices and external compensation is acceptable. |
| TPS63020DSJR | Buck-boost topology, 1.8–5.5 V output, 3 A switch current, 25 µA IQ - no 60 V rating | Supports output voltages below input (e.g., 3.3 V from 5 V), but cannot regulate from 48 V bus directly | Choose only for battery-powered systems with narrow VIN range and bidirectional voltage conversion requirements. |
Compared with LMR36506RNXR and TPS63020DSJR, the L7983PU50R uniquely combines 60 V industrial bus compatibility, true dynamic LNM/LCM selection, and integrated reset sequencing - making it the only option that simultaneously satisfies high-voltage resilience, ultra-low standby power, and fail-safe digital load management in a single 10-pin package.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for L7983PU50R in a 48 V bus application?
A minimum 4.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor rated for ≥63 V must be placed within 3 mm of the VIN and GND pins. For 48 V bus transients, ST recommends paralleling with a 10 µF tantalum or polymer capacitor to handle high RMS ripple current and suppress low-frequency surges per DS13354 Section 7.2.
Can L7983PU50R operate with VBIAS grounded while delivering full 300 mA output?
Yes - grounding VBIAS disables the switchover function and powers the internal LDO from VIN, which is fully supported per datasheet Table 5. However, quiescent current increases to 35–50 µA (vs. 3–6 µA with VBIAS = 5 V), and efficiency drops ~3% at light load due to higher LDO dropout losses.
How does the RST pin behave during output pre-bias conditions?
The L7983PU50R actively prevents reverse current flow during soft-start: if VOUT is pre-biased above VRSTTHR before startup, RST remains floating (high-Z) until the internal reference stabilizes and regulation begins. No sinking occurs - ensuring safe hot-plug and back-powering scenarios per Section 5.4.
Is spread-spectrum dithering enabled by default on L7983PU50R?
No - dithering is disabled by default. It is activated only when the FSW pin resistor is connected to VCC (not GND), per Table 7 in DS13354. The dithering frequency is FDITH = fSW / 126, producing ±5% triangular modulation - confirmed by oscilloscope measurement of LX waveform in Application Note AN5074.
