MT3608L

Aerosemi · DC-DC Converters · SOT-23-6

MT3608L from Aerosemi, in a SOT-23-6. 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 SW power_out Power switch output; drain of the internal 80 mΩ N-channel power MOSFET. Connect the boost inductor and Schottky rectifier here. SW can swing between GND and 22V (absolute max).
2 GND power_in Device ground return. Should be tied to a solid ground plane for heat sinking and noise immunity.
3 FB input Feedback input to the internal error amplifier. Regulates to VREF = 0.6V (typ). Connect an external R1/R2 resistor divider from VOUT to set the output voltage: VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). Input bias current ≈ -10 nA typ.
4 EN input Regulator on/off control input. Drive high (VIH ≥ 1.5V) to enable the converter; low (VIL ≤ 0.6V) to shut it down (IQ ≈ 0.1 µA). Tie to VIN for automatic startup. Absolute max 18V.
5 VIN power_in Input supply pin, 2.2V to 16V operating range (18V abs max). Must be locally bypassed with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (22 µF recommended). Feeds the internal UVLO (2.2V typ) and control circuitry.
6 OC input Adjustable over-current programming pin. A resistor from OC to GND (19 kΩ-96 kΩ) sets peak switch current from 2.5A down to 0.5A per IOCP = 48000 / R. Leave floating to use the internal 2.5A default limit. Keep trace short.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: MT3608L
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23-6
  • 3D model: SOT-23-6 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: mt3608l-etched.step / mt3608l-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); mt3608l.step / mt3608l.glb are the bare package body.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mt3608l.step 97 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mt3608l-etched.step 1.7 MB You want the part with MT3608L already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 402 faces against 117 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Aerosemi datasheet (9 pp, sha256 055e347e76e74cba, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
