PL8310

POWLICON · DC-DC Converters · SOP-8

PL8310 from POWLICON, in a SOP-8. 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 BST power_out Boot-strap pin; connect a 0.1µF or greater capacitor between SW and BST to power the high-side gate driver.
2 SW output Power switching pin; connect this pin to the switching node of the inductor.
3 GND power_in Ground reference pin for the device; the input and output capacitor grounds and the R2 ground should connect directly to this pin.
4 VIN power_in Power input supplying the IC; supply with a 4.5V to 36V source and bypass to GND with a large capacitor plus at least 0.1µF ceramic placed close to VIN and GND.
5 FB input Feedback input sensing the output voltage through a resistor divider to ground; it is a sensitive node to keep away from SW and BST, and connect it directly to output when CS is floating or tied to output.
6 EN input Digital enable input that turns the regulator on when driven high and off when low, with an internal pull-up to VIN and a threshold of 1.1V without hysteresis.
7 LED input LED input connected to the negative terminal of an LED to indicate output status.
8 CS input Current sense input; connect a 10mΩ to 100mΩ resistor between this pin and GND to program the current limit, and its connection also sets the work mode.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: PL8310
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: pl8310-etched.step / pl8310-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); pl8310.step / pl8310.glb are the bare package body.
