**Texas Instruments** · LED Drivers · HTSSOP-20-EP

LM3492MH 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 | EN | input | Enable pin, internally pulled up; connect to a voltage higher than 1.63 V to provide precision enable for the device. |
| 2 | VIN | power_in | Input supply pin for the device, with an input range of 4.5 V to 65 V. |
| 3 | SW | input | Switch node, internally connected to the drain of the integrated MOSFET. |
| 4 | SW | input | Switch node, internally connected to the drain of the integrated MOSFET (pin 4 is part of the merged SW cell in the pin table). |
| 5 | VOUT | input | Output voltage sense input used for nearly constant switching frequency control. |
| 6 | RT | input | An external resistor from the VOUT pin to this pin sets the switching frequency. |
| 7 | FB | input | Output voltage feedback input connected through a feedback resistor divider; the pin voltage is specified from 1.05 V to 2.5 V. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Analog signal ground. |
| 9 | IOUT2 | input | Input of the channel 2 current regulator; the regulated current is programmed through the IREF pin. |
| 10 | IOUT1 | input | Input of the channel 1 current regulator; the regulated current is programmed through the IREF pin. |
| 11 | CDHC | input | An external capacitor on this pin sets the dynamic headroom control sensitivity, and a 120-µA internal current source charges it at start-up for soft start. |
| 12 | IREF | input | An external resistor from this pin to ground programs the regulated current of channels 1 and 2. |
| 13 | COMM | bidirectional | Open-drain bidirectional logic pin used for power-good, overtemperature, IOUT overvoltage and undervoltage indications and for command sending (switching frequency tuning and channel 1 disabling). |
| 14 | LGND | power_in | Current regulator ground that must be connected to the GND pin for normal operation; LGND and GND are not internally connected. |
| 15 | DIM1/CLK | bidirectional | Dimming control of channel 1 (internally pulled low by 5 µA), which also serves as the clock for latching COMM input/output data. |
| 16 | DIM2 | input | Dimming control of channel 2 that turns the channel 2 current regulator on or off; internally pulled low by 5 µA. |
| 17 | PGND | power_in | Integrated MOSFET power ground that must be connected to the GND pin for normal operation. |
| 18 | PGND | power_in | Integrated MOSFET power ground that must be connected to the GND pin for normal operation; PGND and GND are not internally connected (pin 18 is part of the merged PGND cell in the pin table). |
| 19 | VCC | power_out | LDO regulator output nominally regulated to 5.5 V; connect a capacitor larger than 0.47 µF between VCC and GND. |
| 20 | ILIM | input | Peak current limit adjust: an external resistor from ILIM to VCC reduces the peak current limit, and tying ILIM to ground gives the maximum current limit. |
| 21 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `LM3492MH`
- 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: `lm3492mh-etched.step` / `lm3492mh-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `lm3492mh.step` / `lm3492mh.glb` are the bare package body.
