Description
The device is DC-DC monolithic regulator
specifically designed to provide extremely high
efficiency. L6928 supply voltage can be as low as
2 V allowing its use in single Li-Ion cell supplied
applications. Output voltage can be selected by
an external divider down to 0.6 V. Duty cycle can
saturate to 100% allowing low dropout operation.
The device is based on a 1.4 MHz fixed
frequency, current mode architecture. Low
consumption mode operation can be selected at
light load conditions, allowing switching losses to
be reduced. L6928 is externally synchronizable
with a clock which makes it useful in noise
sensitive applications. Other features like Power
Good, overvoltage protection, short-circuit
protection and thermal shutdown (150 °C) are
also present.
