CN5501

ShangHai Consonance Elec · LED Drivers · SOP-8-EP

CN5501 from ShangHai Consonance Elec, in a SOP-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 EQ bidirectional LED current equalizing pin; connect to the EQ pin of other CN5501 devices when multiple CN5501 drive multiple LED strings in parallel to equalize LED current.
2 EN input High-voltage enable pin; drive EN high to enable the output, with VIH of 3.1 V minimum, VIL of 0.6 V maximum, and a 36 V absolute maximum rating.
3 GND power_in Ground terminal and negative terminal of the input supply.
4 CS input LED current sense pin; the resistor between CS and GND sets the LED current as ILED = 0.153 ÷ (RCS + 0.03) A, with RCS in ohms.
5 LED output Current sink pin connected to the drain of the on-chip power MOSFET; the LED string(s) connect between LED and VIN, with a 36 V absolute maximum rating on this pin.
6 VIN power_in Positive input supply terminal powering the internal circuit; operating range is 4 V to 32 V with a 36 V absolute maximum rating.
7 VCC power_out +5 V regulator output (5 V typical) with 3 mA output capability; connect a 2.2 µF to 10 µF compensation capacitor from VCC to GND.
8 NC unconnected No connection.
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
