BCR420UW6Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-26. 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 | EN | input | Enable for biasing the transistor; VEN max 40V on BCR420U and 18V on BCR421U, typical enable current 1.2mA, and the BCR421U EN can be PWM dimmed up to 25kHz. |
| 2 | OUT | passive | Regulated output current sink for the LED string, with VOUT up to 40V and IOUT up to 500mA absolute maximum. |
| 3 | OUT | passive | Regulated output current sink for the LED string, with VOUT up to 40V and IOUT up to 500mA absolute maximum. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Power ground, reference for all voltage ratings. |
| 5 | OUT | passive | Regulated output current sink for the LED string, with VOUT up to 40V and IOUT up to 500mA absolute maximum. |
| 6 | REXT | passive | Optional external resistor for adjusting the output current from the 10mA preset up to 350mA, in parallel with the internal 95Ω resistor. |
