Output voltage sequencing

The L6986H device implements sequencing connecting the RST pin of the master device to the SS/INH of the

slave. The slave is inhibited as long as the master output voltage is outside regulation so implementing the

sequencing, see Figure 12. Output voltage sequencing.

High flexibility is achieved thanks to the programmable RST thresholds (Table 7. LNM/ LCM selection

(L6986H3V3) and Table 8. LNM/ LCM selection (L6986H5V)) and programmable delay time. To minimize the

component count the DELAY pin capacitor can be also omitted so the pin works as a normal Power Good.

Error amplifier

The voltage error amplifier is the core of the loop regulation. It is a transconductance operational amplifier whose

non inverting input is connected to the internal voltage reference (0.85 V), while the inverting input (FB) is

connected to the external divider or directly to the output voltage.

The error amplifier output is compared with the inductor current sense information to perform PWM control. The

error amplifier also determines the burst operation at light-load when the LCM is active.

Output voltage line regulation

The regulator features an enhanced line regulation thanks to the peak current mode architecture. Figure 13. VOUT

= 3.3 V line regulation shows negligible output voltage variation (normalized to the value measured at VIN = 12 V)

over the entire input voltage range for the L6986H with VOUT = 3.3V.
