LM3578AMX

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8

LM3578AMX from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 -INPUT input Inverting comparator input with an internal 1.0V reference; input current should be limited to less than 5 mA if driven above the reference voltage.
2 +INPUT input Non-inverting comparator input with an internal 1.0V reference; input current should be limited to less than 5 mA if driven above the reference voltage.
3 OSC passive Timing capacitor pin; a single external capacitor from this pin sets the oscillator switching frequency (fOSC = 8x10^-5/C1) from <1 Hz to 100 kHz.
4 GND power_in Ground reference pin for the device.
5 EMITTER output Emitter of the output switching transistor, rated -1V to +50V with respect to ground; must not be pulled more than 1V below ground (0.6V for TJ >= 100C).
6 COLLECTOR output Collector of the output switching transistor, rated -0.3V to +50V with respect to ground, capable of switching up to 750 mA with saturation voltage less than 0.9V.
7 CURRENT LIMIT input Current limit sense input that may be referenced to either ground or VIN; activates cycle-by-cycle current limiting when pulled 110 mV away from the reference (80 mV min to 160 mV max).
8 VIN power_in Supply voltage input, operating from 2V to 40V (total supply voltage absolute maximum 50V).
