About this manual

The L6910 and L6910A are integrated circuit PWM controllers designed for high-performance step-down DC-DC conversion from 3.3V, 5V, and 12V buses. The device drives N-channel MOSFets in a synchronous-rectified buck topology, regulating the output voltage down to 0.9V with an internal reference or an external reference between 0.9V and 3V. It features a voltage-mode control with a 200kHz internal oscillator that is externally adjustable from 50kHz to 1MHz.
