Texas Instruments · LED Drivers · HTSSOP-20-EP

LM3424MHX from Texas Instruments, in a HTSSOP-20-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 VIN power_in Input voltage pin (4.5 V to 75 V recommended range); bypass with a 100 nF capacitor to GND placed as close to the device as possible.
2 EN input Enable input: connect to more than 2.4 V to enable the device, or to less than 0.8 V for low-power shutdown.
3 COMP input Compensation pin: connect a capacitor to GND to compensate the control loop.
4 CSH input Current sense high: connect a resistor to GND to set the signal current; can also be used for analog dimming.
5 RT input Resistor timing: connect a resistor to GND to set the switching frequency; can also be used to synchronize to an external clock.
6 nDIM input Dimming input and under-voltage protection: connect a PWM signal for dimming and/or a resistor divider from VIN to program input UVLO (1.24 V threshold).
7 SS input Soft-start: connect a capacitor to GND to extend start-up time.
8 TGAIN input Temperature foldback gain: connect a resistor to GND to set the foldback slope.
9 TSENSE input Temperature sense input: connect a resistor/thermistor divider from VS to sense temperature.
10 TREF input Temperature foldback reference: connect a resistor divider from VS to set the foldback reference voltage.
11 VS power_out Voltage reference output: provides a 2.45 V reference for the temperature foldback circuit and other external circuitry.
12 OVP input Over-voltage protection: connect a resistor divider from VO to program output over-voltage lockout (1.24 V threshold).
13 DDRV output Dimming gate drive output: connect to the gate of the dimming MOSFET.
14 GND power_in Ground: connect to DAP to provide proper system GND.
15 GATE output Main gate drive output: connect to the gate of the main switching MOSFET; 2-Ω, 1-A peak gate driver.
16 VCC power_out Internal regulator output: bypass with a 2.2 µF to 3.3 µF ceramic capacitor to GND.
17 IS input Main switch current sense: connect to the drain of the main N-channel MOSFET for RDS-ON sensing, or to a sense resistor in the source of the same device.
18 SLOPE input Slope compensation: connect a resistor to GND to set the slope of the additional ramp.
19 HSN input LED current sense negative: connect through a series resistor to the LED current sense resistor (negative side).
20 HSP input LED current sense positive: connect through a series resistor to the LED current sense resistor (positive side).
21 DAP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: LM3424MHX
  • Footprint: Package_SO:TSSOP-20-1EP_4.4x6.5mm_P0.65mm_EP2.15x3.35mm
  • 3D model: HTSSOP-20-EP, generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 1.2 mm nominal TSSOP height). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: lm3424mhx-etched.step / lm3424mhx-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); lm3424mhx.step / lm3424mhx.glb are the bare package body.
