Image of STMicroelectronics L6981 Synchronous Step-Down Converter STMicroelectronics' L6981 is an easy to use synchronous monolithic step-down regulator capable of delivering up to 1.5 A_DC to the load. The wide input voltage range makes the device suitable for a broad range of applications.

Housed in SO8 package, the L6981 is available both in low consumption mode (LCM) and low noise mode (LNM) versions. LCM maximizes the efficiency at light-load with controlled output voltage ripple so the device is suitable for battery-powered applications. LNM makes the switching frequency constant and minimizes the output voltage ripple for lightload operations, meeting the specification for low noise sensitive applications.
