MST1661TQ

MST · LED Drivers · TO-252

MST1661TQ from MST, in a TO-252. 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 Battery positive terminal that supplies the device, with a DC supply range of 9 V to 24 V and a DC supply voltage absolute maximum of 40 V.
2 VOUT output Output terminal that switches the bulbs through the internal driver, with on-state resistance RDS(ON) of 60 mΩ typical and 80 mΩ maximum (Vdd=5V, Ic=1.6A), and drain current internally limited.
3 CEXT passive Capacitor terminal for the external capacitor connected between CEXT and OUT that stores energy to power the device during the ON phase, with a CEXT capacitor voltage absolute maximum of 20 V.
