L6591TR from STMicroelectronics, in a SO-16. 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 | LINE | input | Line sensing input tied to the high-voltage bus through a resistor divider; below 1.25 V it shuts the IC down and discharges the soft-start capacitor, with a 15 µA hysteresis current source, and it should be tied to Vcc through 220 to 330 kΩ if unused. |
| 2 | DIS | input | Latched device shutdown input that shuts the IC down and latches it when the voltage exceeds 4.5 V, with the latch cleared only when Vcc falls below the UVLO threshold; connect to GND if unused. |
| 3 | ISEN | input | Current sense input for the PWM comparator with 200 ns blanking, a 0.8 V pulse-by-pulse OCP threshold and a 1.5 V hiccup-mode OCP shutdown level, with an absolute range of -3 to 7 V. |
| 4 | SS | passive | Soft-start pin where an internal 20 µA generator charges an external capacitor to ramp the duty cycle from zero, and the same capacitor sets the delay before OCP shutdown; it is quickly discharged in UVLO. |
| 5 | OSC | passive | Oscillator timing pin where a resistor to VREF and a capacitor to GND set the switching frequency and deadtime, and the capacitor should not be lower than 220 pF. |
| 6 | VREF | power_out | Voltage reference output of 5 V ±4% (all inclusive) that can supply up to 5 mA to an external circuit, with a 0.1 µF film capacitor to GND recommended for stability. |
| 7 | COMP | input | Control input for PWM regulation driven by an optocoupler phototransistor (about 0.4 mA typ.); below 1.75 V it shuts the IC down and reduces consumption, and it restarts above 1.8 V to provide burst mode at light load. |
| 8 | PFC_STOP | output | Open-drain ON/OFF control output for the PFC controller that goes low when COMP is below 1.75 V and opens above 1.8 V, is low during IC shutdown while Vcc is above the restart threshold, and is open during UVLO; leave open if unused. |
| 9 | Vcc | power_in | Supply voltage for the signal part of the IC and the low-side gate driver, charged by the internal high-voltage generator through an external electrolytic capacitor to GND, with an IC supply absolute rating of self-limited at Icc = 20 mA. |
| 10 | LVG | output | Low-side gate-drive output capable of 0.3 A min. source and 0.8 A min. sink peak current for the lower MOSFET, actively pulled to GND during UVLO. |
| 11 | GND | power_in | Chip ground that returns both the low-side gate-drive current and the IC bias current and must be kept separate from pulsed current return paths. |
| 12 | N.C. | unconnected | High-voltage spacer pin that is not connected internally, included to meet creepage distance safety requirements on the PCB. |
| 13 | FGND | power_in | High-side floating ground that returns the high-side gate-drive current, with a floating ground voltage of -3 to VBOOT -18 V and a slew rate limit of 50 V/ns. |
| 14 | HVG | output | High-side floating gate-drive output capable of 0.3 A min. source and 0.8 A min. sink peak current for the upper MOSFET, with a pull-down resistor to FGND (pin 13) keeping the gate off during UVLO. |
| 15 | BOOT | power_in | High-side floating supply connected to a bootstrap capacitor referenced to FGND (pin 13) and fed by an internal synchronous bootstrap diode, with a floating supply absolute range of -1 to 618 V. |
| 16 | HVSTART | input | High-voltage startup input connected directly to the rectified mains with an absolute range of -0.3 to 700 V, where a 0.8 mA internal source charges the Vcc capacitor until the startup threshold is reached. |
