SE3837B from Seaward Elec, in a SOP-8. 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 | CS | input | Output current sense pin. Constant current is set by an external sense resistor Rcs from Vout- to GND: Iout = Vse/Rcs, where Vse depends on the grade (A: 105 mV, B: 120 mV, C: 140 mV, ±6%). Absolute maximum voltage 6.5 V. |
| 2 | FB | input | Voltage feedback pin. Sense output voltage via an external resistor divider; internal reference is 1.25 V, so Vout = 1.25 * (1 + R2/R1). Absolute maximum voltage 6.5 V; SCP triggers when Vfb < 0.3 V. |
| 3 | VDD | power_out | Internal LDO / bypass capacitor pin for the on-chip voltage regulator. Requires a 10 uF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND. Absolute maximum 6.5 V; not intended to drive external loads. |
| 4 | VIN | power_in | Main power supply input, DC 4.5-40 V wide range. Requires an electrolytic bulk capacitor plus a ceramic decoupling capacitor to GND to suppress switching noise. UVLO threshold typ 4 V; absolute maximum 40 V. |
| 5 | SW | power_out | Power switch output node. Connects to the source of the internal high-side MOSFET and drain of the low-side MOSFET; drive an external inductor to VOUT. Rds(on) high-side ~46 mΩ, low-side ~22 mΩ; typical peak current limit 3.5 A. Absolute maximum 40 V. |
| 6 | SW | power_out | Power switch output node (tied to pin 5). Connects to the source of the internal high-side MOSFET and drain of the low-side MOSFET; drive an external inductor to VOUT. Absolute maximum 40 V. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | Ground return pin (tied to pin 8). Both GND pins must connect to the board ground plane; they also serve as the primary thermal path from the die. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Ground return pin (tied to pin 7). Both GND pins must connect to the board ground plane; they also serve as the primary thermal path from the die. |
