RT8288AZSP

Richtek Tech · DC-DC Converters · SOP-8-EP

RT8288AZSP from Richtek Tech, in a SOP-8-EP. 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 Supply input powering the IC and step-down converter switches; drive with a 4.5V to 21V source and bypass to GND with a suitably large capacitor.
2 SW passive Switch node supplying power to the output; connect the output LC filter from SW to the load, with a capacitor from SW to BOOT for the high side switch.
3 SW passive Switch node supplying power to the output; connect the output LC filter from SW to the load, with a capacitor from SW to BOOT for the high side switch.
4 BOOT passive High side gate drive boost input; connect a 100nF or greater capacitor from SW to BOOT to power the high side N-MOSFET switch.
5 EN input Active-high chip enable (logic-high 2V to 5.5V, logic-low below 0.4V); for automatic start-up connect to VIN with a 100kΩ resistor.
6 FB input Feedback input that senses the output voltage via a resistive divider from VOUT; the feedback threshold is 0.808V.
7 VCC power_out Bias supply (5V typical) to be decoupled with a 0.1μF to 0.22μF capacitor, no more than 0.22μF.
8 GND power_in Ground; connect to GND.
9 GND power_in Exposed pad ground; must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
