Product details
Overview
L9758 from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive multiple-output power supply IC for engine control units, integrating a 2 A buck pre-regulator, optional boost converter, five programmable LDOs (VDD5, VDDL, VCORE, VKAM, VSTBY), and four 5 V ±7 mV tracking regulators - all operating across –40 °C to +125 °C in PowerSO-36 package.
For engineers reviewing the L9758 datasheet, L9758 pinout, L9758 application, or L9758 equivalent, this device supports critical power sequencing, low-battery boost operation, independent reset monitoring (RST5/RSTL), standby voltage supervision (STANDBY_OK), and programmable core/memory rail voltages in high-reliability powertrain systems.
Technical Context
The L9758 implements a hybrid regulation architecture: a synchronous buck converter (300–450 kHz, up to 2 A RMS) feeds linear regulators and enables low-dropout operation under wide input (4–26.5 V); an optional boost stage activates below 7 V battery threshold to sustain pre-regulation during cranking.
It delivers precise, slew-controlled power-up sequences for VDD5, VDDL, and VCORE with independent reset assertion (RST5, RSTL) and standby monitoring (STBY_OK), while four tracking regulators (VSA–VSD) maintain fixed offsets relative to selectable references (VDD5 or external TRACK_REF), supporting multi-rail sensor/actuator interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Buck output current | 2 A RMS minimum - sustains pre-regulated supply for downstream LDOs and microcontroller rails under full load. |
| VDD5 output | 5 V ±2% @ 1 A - low-dropout regulator with 10–20 V/ms controlled slew rate and ±25 mV line/load regulation. |
| VDDL programmability | 3.3 V or 2.6 V ±2% @ 1 A - selected via VPROG3 pin; requires external pass transistor and feedback divider. |
| VKAM/VSTBY outputs | 1 V/1.5 V ±10% @ 10 mA (VKAM); 3.3 V/2.6 V ±10% @ 10 mA (VSTBY) - dedicated low-current standby memory and auxiliary rails. |
| Tracking regulators | Four 5 V ±7 mV @ 50 mA (VSA–VSD) - one with selectable reference (VDD5 or external TRACK_REF) for sensor biasing. |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for under-hood engine control applications. |
| Package | PowerSO-36 - thermally enhanced exposed-pad SO package with Rth(j-case) = 2 °C/W for high-power dissipation. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated buck + optional boost | Enables stable pre-regulation down to 4 V battery - eliminates need for external boost IC during cold-crank conditions. |
| Programmable VCORE with external pass transistor | Supports microcontroller core voltage scaling (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.5 V) using external FET and resistor divider - reduces board space vs discrete solutions. |
| Independent RST5 and RSTL signals | Allows separate reset assertion for safety-critical VDD5 and functional VDDL rails - meets ASIL-B power domain isolation requirements. |
| Four precision tracking regulators | Maintain fixed offset from VDD5 or external reference - simplifies sensor excitation and ADC reference design in multi-sensor ECU modules. |
| Slew-controlled power-up | Configurable dV/dt on VDD5, VDDL, VCORE prevents inrush-induced brownout - ensures deterministic boot sequence for automotive MCUs. |
Applications

Use Scenario: Real-time fuel injection and ignition timing control under wide battery voltage range (4–16 V), including cranking transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power management IC delivering sequenced, monitored, and regulated supplies to MCU, CAN transceivers, and analog front-ends. Use Value: Boost capability maintains VDD5 stability during 4.5 V cranking dips; independent RST5 ensures safe MCU reset without affecting VDDL-powered peripherals. |
Use Scenario: High-integrity gear-shifting logic requiring dual-voltage rails (5 V for logic, 3.3 V for communication) and standby memory retention. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Central power sequencer providing VDD5, VDDL, VKAM, and VSTBY with synchronized startup and fault reporting. Use Value: Programmable VKAM (1 V/1.5 V) powers SRAM retention during sleep; STBY_OK signal validates VSTBY before wake-up interrupt processing. |

Use Scenario: Dual-redundant motor control with position sensing, requiring isolated, tracked 5 V supplies for Hall sensors and MCU I/O. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Source of four matched 5 V ±7 mV tracking regulators (VSA–VSD) referenced to common VDD5 or external precision reference. Use Value: Tracking accuracy minimizes sensor offset drift; VS_DIS pin allows dynamic disabling of unused sensor rails to reduce quiescent current. |
Use Scenario: Consolidated power delivery for radar, camera, and domain controller subsystems sharing a single ECU board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Multi-rail regulator supplying VDD5 (domain controller), VDDL (CAN FD interface), VCORE (application processor), and VSTBY (always-on watchdog). Use Value: External VCORE pass transistor enables scalable core voltage (e.g., 1.1 V @ 2 A) without changing IC; IGN/PSU_EN inputs support vehicle-level sleep/wake coordination. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail automotive power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP81239 | Single-chip 3-phase buck controller + integrated LDOs; no boost stage; supports only 1.8–5.5 V input. | Lacks low-battery boost and standalone tracking regulators - unsuitable for cranking-tolerant engine control. | Select when input stays >6 V and system uses external boost or accepts reduced cranking margin. |
| TPS65381A-Q1 | Three buck + three LDOs; includes watchdog and window comparator; no tracking regulators or boost. | Offers enhanced safety features (BIST, fault logging) but omits VSA–VSD tracking - limits sensor biasing flexibility. | Prefer for ASIL-D systems needing diagnostic coverage over multi-sensor tracking precision. |
Compared with NCP81239 and TPS65381A-Q1, the L9758 uniquely combines cranking-tolerant boost, four precision tracking regulators, and programmable core/standby rails - making it optimal for high-end powertrain ECUs where sensor accuracy and cold-crank robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin and when does the boost converter activate?
The BOOST pin drives the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET in the boost circuit. The boost converter activates automatically when the sensed battery voltage (VBAT_S) falls below 7.0–8.3 V and deactivates above that threshold with 0.05–0.9 V hysteresis - ensuring continuous pre-regulation during engine cranking events down to ~4 V.
How is VCORE voltage programmed, and what external components are required?
VCORE voltage is set via an external resistor divider on VCORE_FDBK and driven by the VCORE_DRV predriver output. The IC supports 1 V or 1.5 V ±2% @ 1 A using an external pass transistor; no internal pass element exists - enabling thermal separation and scalable current handling beyond monolithic LDO limits.
Can the four tracking regulators (VSA–VSD) operate with different reference sources simultaneously?
No - all four tracking regulators share the same reference source, selected globally via the REF_SEL pin: low selects VDD5, high selects the external TRACK_REF input. This ensures consistent offset tracking across all four outputs but prohibits mixed-reference operation within a single device.
What thermal management provisions does the L9758 include, and how is junction temperature monitored?
The L9758 integrates thermal shutdown protection triggering at 150 °C junction temperature, with automatic recovery after cooldown. It does not provide real-time junction temperature readback; instead, thermal performance relies on PowerSO-36's 2 °C/W Rth(j-case) and proper PCB copper pour under the exposed pad - requiring ≥400 mm² of 2-oz copper for full 2 A operation at 125 °C ambient.
