L6561

STMicroelectronics · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · DIP-8

L6561 from STMicroelectronics, in a DIP-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 INV input Inverting input of the error amplifier; a resistive divider is connected between the output regulated voltage and this point to provide voltage feedback.
2 COMP output Output of error amplifier; a feedback compensation network is placed between this pin and the INV pin.
3 MULT input Input of the multiplier stage; a resistive divider connects to this pin the rectified mains and a voltage signal proportional to the rectified mains appears on this pin.
4 CS input Input to the comparator of the control loop; the current is sensed by a resistor and the resulting voltage is applied to this pin.
5 ZCD input Zero current detection input; if it is connected to GND, the device is disabled.
6 GND power_in Current return for driver and control circuits.
7 GD output Gate driver output; a push pull output stage is able to drive the Power MOS with peak current of 400mA (source and sink).
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage of driver and control circuits; operating range 11V to 18V per electrical characteristics.
