STMicroelectronics L6986I

L6986I - 38 V, 5W synchronous iso-buck converter

Front side of ST's L6986I iso-buck converter

The L6986I is a device specifically designed for the isolated buck topology. Due to the P-Channel MOSFET as high-side power switch the device features 100% duty cycle operation. The primary output voltage can be accurately adjusted, whereas the isolated secondary output is derived by using a given transformer ratio. No optocoupler is required. The primary sink capability up to 1.9 A (even during soft-start) allows a proper energy transfer to the secondary side as well as enables a tracked soft-start of the secondary output. The control loop is based on a peak current mode architecture and the device operates in forced PWM. The 300 ns blanking time filters oscillations, generated by the transformer leakage inductance, making the solution more robust. Pulse by pulse current sensing on both power elements implements an effective constant current protection in the primary side. Due to the primary reverse current limit, the secondary output is protected against short circuit events. A primary output voltage supervisor, which notifies primary output voltage regulation through the RST open collector output, overvoltage protection, adjustable switching frequency, synchronization and a programmable soft-start are also available.

STEVAL-L6986IV1 - 38 V, 5 W synchronous iso-buck converter evaluation board with dual isolated output based on the L6986I

The STEVAL-L6986IV1 evaluation board is based on L6986I 38 V, 5 W synchronous step-down switching regulator designed for isolated buck topology. The primary output voltage can be accurately adjusted, whereas the isolated secondary output is generated by using a transformer. No optocoupler is required.

The primary sink capability (typ. 1.9 A) allows proper energy transfer to the secondary side as well as a tracked soft-start of the secondary output. The control loop is based on a peak current mode architecture and the device operates in forced PWM.

The 300 ns blanking time filters oscillations generated by the transformer leakage inductance, making the solution more robust. Pulse by pulse current sensing on both power elements implements an effective constant current protection on the primary side. Thanks to the primary reverse current limit, the secondary output is protected against short-circuit.

The secondary voltage is stabilized over current by using a power transistor and a shunt voltage reference (TL431AIL3T).

The STEVAL-L6986IV1 evaluation board generates two isolated voltages (positive around 18 V and negative between 4 and 5 V), particularly suitable for supplying the IGBT/SiC MOSFET gate driver for multiple applications. A simple by-pass enables the supply of a single isolated voltage.
