The STMicroelectronics L6726A is a power management IC (PMIC) with a synchronous buck converter that provides high current density and is designed to deliver up to 8A of continuous output current. It comes in a 9-pin HFCSTB package and is based on a multi-mode control scheme to ensure a robust and reliable design. This IC is capable of working with an input voltage range of 3V to 20V and an adjustable output voltage range of 0.8V to 19V. It also features a programmable switching frequency, integrated soft-start, external synchronization, over-temperature protection, and over-current protection. The L6726A is ideal for applications such as DC/DC converters, telecom equipment, automotive systems, and industrial, medical, and consumer electronics.
