What are the key features of A6986F?
- 4 V to 38 V wide input voltage range
- Up to 2 A continuous output current
- Synchronous step-down (buck) topology for high efficiency
- Current-mode PWM control for fast transient response
- Low 30 µA quiescent current for standby efficiency
- Compact 16-pin small-outline package
What is A6986F used for?
The A6986F is well suited for automotive and industrial point-of-load power supplies, such as infotainment modules, sensor nodes, and always-on control units, where its wide 4 V to 38 V input range tolerates cold-crank and load-dump conditions. Its low 30 µA quiescent current and synchronous 2 A buck design also make it a strong fit for battery-powered systems that must minimize standby power draw.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the A6986F maintain efficiency at light loads?
The A6986F uses a synchronous, current-mode PWM buck topology that draws only 30 µA of quiescent current while idle, yet can still deliver up to 2 A of continuous output current across a wide 4 V to 38 V input range.
Can the A6986F's 16-pin package handle its full 38 V input range in compact automotive layouts?
Yes, the A6986F is housed in a 16-pin small-outline package that supports its full 4 V to 38 V input rating and 2 A output capability, letting designers fit a rugged step-down regulator into space-limited automotive and industrial control boards.
Why might a designer choose the A6986F over a lower-voltage buck regulator for 12 V rail applications?
Because the A6986F accepts a nominal 12 V input but tolerates transients up to 38 V, it survives automotive load-dump and cold-crank events that would exceed the rating of typical 5 V-only or 20 V-max buck converters, while still delivering 2 A at low 30 µA quiescent draw.
Which power rails benefit most from the A6986F's wide input tolerance?
Automotive infotainment, sensor, and always-on control rails powered from a nominal 12 V battery bus benefit from the A6986F's 4 V to 38 V input range and 2 A synchronous buck output, since it keeps regulating through voltage dips and transient spikes without extra protection circuitry.
