DESCRIPTION
The device is dc-dc monolithic regulator specifically
designed to provide extremely high efficiency.
The device has on UVLO set at 2.7V cause it is part-
icurarly thought for single Li-ion cell applications.
Output voltage can be selected by an external divider
down to 0.6V. Duty Cycle can saturate to 100% al-
lowing low drop-out operation. The device is based
on a 600kHz fixed-frequency, current mode-architec-
ture. Low Consumption Mode operation can be se-
lected at light load conditions, allowing switching
losses to be reduced. L6925D is externally synchro-
nizable with a clock which makes it useful in noise-
sensitive applications. LBI pin can be used to have a
LBO signal when the Battery voltage is lower than a
preset value. Other features like, Overvoltage protec-
tion, Shortcircuit protection and Thermal Shutdown
(150°C) are also present.

Description
Battery low voltage detector input. The internal threshold is set to 0.6V. The external threshold
can be adjusted by using an external resistor divider.
Error amplifier output. Compensate it with a 220pF capacitor
Error amplifier input. The output voltage can be adjusted by using an external resistor divider
connected to this pin (V
FB
= 0.6V).
Ground.
Switch node connection to the inductor.
Input voltage.
This pin allows to select Low Noise/ Low Consumption Mode or to sychronize the device.
Battery low voltage detector output. If the voltage at the LBI pin drops below the internal
thrshold, LBO goes low. The LBO is an open drain output. A pull_up resistor should be
connected between the pin and the output voltage
