SI3402-B-GMR from SKYWORKS SILICON LABS, in a QFN-20-EP(5x5). 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 | EROUT | output | Error-amplifier output and PWM input; directly connected to opto-coupler in isolated application. |
| 2 | SSFT | unconnected | Legacy Si3402-A soft-start pin. The non-isolated soft-start function is internal on the Si3402-B, so this pin is not internally connected. Legacy components/connections are harmless and may be retained or deleted. |
| 3 | VDD | power_out | 5 V supply rail for the switcher; provides drive for the opto-coupler. |
| 4 | ISOSSFT | unconnected | Legacy Si3402-A isolated soft-start pin. The isolated soft-start function is internal on the Si3402-B, so this pin is not internally connected. Legacy components/connections are harmless and may be retained or deleted. |
| 5 | PLOSS | output | Early power-loss indicator; open-drain output that is pulled to VPOS when VPORT is applied. Threshold is VPOS - (greater of CT1/CT2 or SP1/SP2), typ 1.5 V. |
| 6 | RDET | passive | Input pin for external precision detection resistor; also used for establishing the absolute current reference for the device. |
| 7 | HSO | power_out | Hotswap switch output; connects to VNEG through the hotswap switch. Externally tied to VSS2 (the switcher negative supply rail). |
| 8 | RCL | passive | Input pin for external precision classification resistor (RCLASS); float if optional RCLASS is unused. Sets the PoE class current (Class 0-3). |
| 9 | VNEG | power_in | Rectified high-voltage supply, negative rail. Must be connected to the thermal PAD node (VNEG) on the package bottom. The thermal pad must connect to VNEG (pin 9) as well as a >=2 in^2 heat spreader plane using a minimum of nine thermal vias. |
| 10 | SP2 | power_in | High-voltage supply input from spare pair; polarity-insensitive. Paired with SP1 for the PoE spare-pair input to the internal diode bridge. |
| 11 | SP1 | power_in | High-voltage supply input from spare pair; polarity-insensitive. Paired with SP2 for the PoE spare-pair input to the internal diode bridge. |
| 12 | VPOSF | power_out | Rectified high-voltage supply, positive rail (force node). Output of the internal rectification/protection block. |
| 13 | CT2 | power_in | High-voltage supply input from center-tap of Ethernet transformer; polarity-insensitive. Paired with CT1 for the PoE center-tap input to the internal diode bridge. |
| 14 | CT1 | power_in | High-voltage supply input from center-tap of Ethernet transformer; polarity-insensitive. Paired with CT2 for the PoE center-tap input to the internal diode bridge. |
| 15 | VSSA | power_in | Analog ground. In new designs, VSSA may be left floating for easier PCB layout, with VSS2 used as the analog ground. VSSA is internally connected to VSS2. |
| 16 | VPOSS | unconnected | Legacy Si3402-A positive-rail sense node. The positive-rail sense-node function is no longer implemented, so this pin is not internally connected. |
| 17 | VSS1 | unconnected | Legacy Si3402-A negative supply rail. This former negative supply rail pin is no longer implemented, so this pin is not internally connected. |
| 18 | SWO | power_out | Switching transistor output; drain of the internal switching N-FET. Peak current 2.4 A; RDS(on) typ 0.5 ohm; switcher frequency ~350 kHz. |
| 19 | VSS2 | power_in | Negative supply rail for the switcher; externally tied to HSO. Also serves as the analog-ground reference for new designs (see VSSA). |
| 20 | FB | input | Regulated feedback input for the switcher in non-isolated (buck) applications. Sets the output voltage via an external resistor divider. |
| PAD | VNEG | power_in | Exposed thermal pad; electrically the VNEG rectified-negative rail. Must be tied to pin 9 (VNEG) and to a >=2 in^2 heat-spreader plane through a minimum of nine thermal vias for thermal performance. |
