What are the key features of L6997S?
- Dual-channel voltage-mode PWM buck controller enables two independent step-down outputs from a single 20-pin TSSOP device
- Wide 3 V to 5.5 V input voltage range with 3.3 V nominal supply allows direct integration into standard embedded system power architectures
- Voltage-mode PWM control with programmable switching frequency provides predictable loop design and low EMI for noise-sensitive applications
- RoHS-compliant lead-free construction (JESD-609 e4) in compact 20-pin TSSOP package (R-PDSO-G20) for dense power supply layouts
What is L6997S used for?
The L6997S is designed for dual-rail point-of-load power supplies in microprocessor and FPGA boards that require two independently regulated step-down voltages from a 3.3 V bus. Its dual-channel architecture reduces BOM complexity in industrial controllers, networking equipment, and embedded computing modules where separate core and I/O supply rails must be generated from a single PWM controller IC in a 20-pin TSSOP footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many independent buck outputs does L6997S control, and what input voltage does it require?
The L6997S controls 2 independent buck converter channels from a single IC, operating from an input voltage of 3 V to 5.5 V with a 3.3 V nominal supply, enabling dual-rail step-down regulation from standard 3.3 V bus rails found in embedded computing and networking equipment.
What control mode does L6997S use, and why does voltage-mode PWM benefit EMI-sensitive designs?
L6997S uses voltage-mode pulse-width modulation (PWM) control, which provides a fixed switching frequency determined by an external resistor or capacitor. This fixed-frequency operation makes EMI filtering straightforward, as the dominant switching noise is confined to a known fundamental frequency and its harmonics, simplifying compliance with EMC standards such as CISPR 22 Class B.
What package does L6997S use, and how does it compare to a SOIC-20 for high-density power supply layouts?
L6997S is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package (JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G20), which has a pin pitch of 0.65 mm and a smaller footprint than a standard 20-pin SOIC, saving approximately 60 mm² of PCB area. This space savings is valuable in server blade and telecom shelf designs where multiple power supply circuits must coexist within a constrained 100 mm x 100 mm board area.
When should a designer choose L6997S over two separate single-channel buck controllers for a dual-rail FPGA supply?
L6997S is the better choice when both output rails share a common 3.3 V input bus, as its dual-channel integration reduces component count by 1 controller IC, simplifies PCB routing by centralizing gate drive and feedback signals, and typically lowers total BOM cost by 15% to 25% compared to 2 discrete single-channel controllers in equivalent TSSOP packages.
