About this manual

The L6928 is a high‑efficiency monolithic synchronous step‑down regulator designed for battery‑powered equipment. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V input, delivers up to 800 mA output current, and offers up to 95 % efficiency with a fixed 1.4 MHz switching frequency. The device includes internal protections such as over‑voltage, short‑circuit, and thermal shutdown, and provides a power‑good output signal.

The regulator is available in MSOP8 and VFQFPN8 (quad‑flat no‑lead) packages and can be synchronized to an external clock from 1 MHz to 2 MHz. Output voltage is adjustable from 0.6 V up to the input voltage via an external resistor divider, making it suitable for portable instruments, cellular phones, PDAs and other low‑voltage applications.
