LM3424QMHX 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; bypass with a 100 nF capacitor to GND as close to the device as possible. |
| 2 | EN | input | Enable pin; 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, which can also be used for analog dimming. |
| 5 | RT | input | Resistor timing; connect a resistor to GND to set the switching frequency, which can also be synchronized to an external clock. |
| 6 | nDIM | input | Dimming input and under-voltage protection; accepts a PWM dimming signal and/or a resistor divider from VIN to program input undervoltage lockout. |
| 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_in | 2.45 V voltage reference for the temperature foldback circuit and other external circuitry. |
| 12 | OVP | input | Over-voltage protection; connect a resistor divider from VO to program the output over-voltage lockout. |
| 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. |
| 16 | VCC | power_in | 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 its source. |
| 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 negative side of the LED current sense resistor. |
| 20 | HSP | input | LED current sense positive; connect through a series resistor to the positive side of the LED current sense resistor. |
| 21 | DAP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
