A8498SLJTR-T

Allegro MicroSystems LLC · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8-EP

A8498SLJTR-T from Allegro MicroSystems LLC, in a SOIC-8-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BOOT passive Gate drive boost node for the high-side switch drive, with a 0.01 µF ceramic CBOOT used in the reference designs.
2 ENB input On/off control logic input: pulling it to ground enables the device, an open circuit disables it, VENB(0) LOW level is 1.0 V max, and the absolute maximum input voltage is 7 V.
3 TSET passive Off-time setting pin: a resistor from this pin to ground sets the fixed off-time (for example, 63.4 kΩ gives tOFF for a 3.3 V output at 42 V input in the reference design).
4 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 FB input Feedback input for the adjustable regulator, regulated to a 0.8 V reference (0.784 to 0.816 V), with output adjustable from 0.8 to 24 V; the regulator invokes current limit when FB falls below 0.4 V.
6 VBIAS power_in Bias supply input, which should be connected to VOUT when the output target is between 3.3 and 5 V; absolute maximum rating is -0.3 to 7 V.
7 LX output Buck switching node, with a switching voltage minimum of -1 V in the absolute maximum ratings.
8 VIN power_in Supply input, rated for 8 to 50 V operation with an absolute maximum load supply voltage of 50 V.
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
