AL8863SP-13

Diodes Incorporated · LED Drivers · ESOP-8

AL8863SP-13 from Diodes Incorporated, in a ESOP-8. 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 OSP input Output shorted protection input, used with CSN to detect an LED string short; if CSN-OSP stays below 1V for 23ms, FAULT goes low.
2 DIM input Multi-function on/off and brightness control: below 0.3V turns off output current, above 2.6V gives 100% of IOUT_NOM, and a PWM signal (low <0.3V, high >2.6V, transition time under 1µs) sets the output current up to 100%; a capacitor to ground increases soft-start time.
3 NTC input Connect an NTC resistor to GND to set the thermal fold-back break point, with fold-back starting when the NTC pin falls to 1.3V and a 100µA internal bias current.
4 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 DRV output Gate driver output for the external switch Q1, with an absolute maximum pin voltage of -0.3V to +20V and a clamp voltage of 15V maximum.
6 VIN power_in Input voltage from 4.5V to 60V; decouple to ground with 10µF or higher X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the device.
7 FAULT output Active-low, open-drain fault report pin that is asserted low for LED open circuit, LED short circuit or over-temperature and requires an external pull-up resistor (VFAULT_LOW maximum 700mV at 1mA).
8 CSN input Current sense negative input; the current sense resistor is connected between VIN and CSN for high-side sensing, with CSN input current of 16µA typical.
9 EP passive Exposed pad that must be connected to GND and thermal mass for enhanced thermal impedance, and should not be used as an electrical ground conduction path.
