Description
The device is DC-DC monolithic regulator
specifically designed to provide extremely high
efficiency. L6926 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 drop-out operation.
The device is based on a 600 kHz fixed-
frequency, current mode-architecture. Low
consumption mode operation can be selected at
light load conditions, allowing switching losses to
be reduced. L6926 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.
