# LM3404MA

**Texas Instruments** · LED Drivers · SOIC-8

LM3404MA from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-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 | SW | output | Switch pin that connects to the output inductor and Schottky diode. |
| 2 | BOOT | output | MOSFET drive bootstrap pin; connect a 10-nF ceramic capacitor from this pin to SW. |
| 3 | DIM | input | PWM dimming input; a logic-level PWM signal on this pin enables and disables the power MOSFET to reduce the average LED light output. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Ground pin; connect to system ground. |
| 5 | CS | input | Current sense feedback pin; a resistor from this pin to ground sets the LED array current. |
| 6 | RON | input | On-time control pin; a resistor from this pin to VIN sets the regulator controlled on-time. |
| 7 | VCC | power_in | Output of the internal 7-V linear regulator; bypass to ground with a minimum 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor with X5R or X7R dielectric. |
| 8 | VIN | power_in | Input voltage pin; nominal operating input range is 6 V to 42 V for the LM3404 (6 V to 75 V for the LM3404HV). |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `LM3404MA`
- Footprint: `Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm`
- 3D model: SOIC-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `lm3404ma-etched.step` / `lm3404ma-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `lm3404ma.step` / `lm3404ma.glb` are the bare package body.
