About this manual

The L6910 and L6910A are 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 and provides an adjustable output voltage down to 0.9V using an internal 0.9V ±1.5% reference.
