PT6912 from PTC Princeton Tech, in a TO-252-5. 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 | VDD | power_in | Internal 5 V regulator output / IC supply rail. Internally clamped to VVDD_CLAMP = 5.1-5.5 V (typ 5.3 V) at 1 mA load; abs-max 6.5 V. Typically bypassed to GND with a small ceramic capacitor. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | IC ground reference. Common return for VDD, COMP, and CS. Should be tied to the exposed pad (E-PAD). |
| 3 | COMP | passive | Loop compensation pin. Connect an external capacitor to GND to stabilize the closed-loop constant-current control. Pre-charge threshold VCOMPP ≈ 1.2 V; abs-max −0.3 V to +6 V. |
| 4 | CS | passive | Output current sense / setting pin. An external resistor RCS from CS to GND programs the average LED current: ILED = 300 mV / RCS. Internal reference VREF = 285-315 mV (typ 300 mV). Abs-max −0.3 V to +1.6 V. Open or short on RCS triggers protection (functional-description section). |
| 5 | VBS | input | Input constant-power sense pin (optional). An external RBS1/RBS2 divider from the rectified AC line sets the AC voltage at which constant-power regulation engages: (RBS2/(RBS1+RBS2)) × VAC × 1.414 = 1.2 V threshold. Leave floating (or tie appropriately) if input constant-power mode is not used. |
| 6 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND per PCB convenience. |
| 7 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND per PCB convenience. |
| 8 | VIN | power_in | High-voltage input / drain of the internal power MOSFET. Connects directly to the rectified DC line in series with the LED string. Operating range 20 V to 400 V; abs-max −0.3 V to +600 V. Sinks up to 120 mA peak output current. |
| 9 | E-PAD | power_in | Exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the ESOP-8 package. Electrically GND - must be soldered to the PCB GND copper pour for both heat dissipation (θJA = 41 °C/W) and electrical return. |
