MT7938

MAXIC Tech · LED Drivers · SOT-23-6

MT7938 from MAXIC Tech, in a SOT-23-6. 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 TADJ input Over-temperature regulation setting pin; the temperature regulation threshold is set by the ratio of the external resistor R7 to the DSEN resistance (R7/(RDSEN+9kΩ)), giving 88°C to 148°C (148°C when floating).
2 GND power_in Chip ground.
3 CS input Current sense pin; cycle-by-cycle over-current protection trips when CS exceeds 1.8V, with 240ns internal leading-edge blanking and an absolute maximum of 5V.
4 DRV output Gate drive output for the external power MOSFET, with 0.2A sink and 0.2A source capability at DRV=4V and an absolute maximum of 24V.
5 VDD power_in Chip power supply, operating range 6.8V to 20V (start-up at 20V, UVLO 6.8V falling, clamp 20V, OVP threshold 27V).
6 DSEN input Auxiliary winding feedback voltage sensed via a resistor divider to reflect output voltage; output OVP trips above 3.6V and the absolute maximum is 5V.
