Richtek Tech · LED Drivers · WQFN-16-EP(3x3)

RT8452GQW from Richtek Tech, in a WQFN-16-EP(3x3). 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 GBIAS power_out Internal gate driver bias output that requires a good bypass capacitor (10V rated, 1µF typical suggested).
2 GATE output External MOSFET switch gate driver output.
3 PWMOUT output Output pin for the PWM dimming FET driver.
4 ISW input External MOSFET switch current sense input; connect the current sense resistor between the external N-MOSFET switch and ground.
5 PWMDIM input Control input pin for the PWM dimming FET driver.
6 ISP input LED current sense amplifier positive input.
7 ISN input LED current sense amplifier negative input; voltage threshold between ISP and ISN is 190mV.
8 VC passive PWM control loop compensation pin.
9 ACTL input Analog dimming control with an effective programming voltage range between 0.2V and 1.2V.
10 DCTL input Digital dimming input; with a 0.47µF filter capacitor on ACTL, the PWM signal on DCTL is averaged into an analog dimming signal on ACTL.
11 SS passive Soft-start pin; a capacitor of at least 10nF is required for proper soft start.
12 NC unconnected No internal connection.
13 EN input Chip enable, active high; the chip is in shutdown mode when this pin voltage is low.
14 OVP input Over voltage protection input; the PWM converter turns off when the pin voltage goes higher than 1.2V.
15 VCC power_in Power supply pin of the chip (6V to 36V recommended); a low ESR bypass capacitor is required.
16 GND power_in Ground pin.
17 GND power_in Exposed pad; must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
