U3018F

UNI SEMIC · DC-DC Converters · SOP-8

U3018F from UNI SEMIC, 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 NC unconnected No connection. Recommended to leave floating.
2 FB input Voltage feedback input pin. When left floating, the chip defaults to a 14.3V output; for adjustable output, connect a resistor divider from the output to this pin (internal reference V_FB_REF ≈ 2.0V).
3 Drain passive Drain of the internal high-voltage power MOSFET (V_BR ≈ 190V, R_dson ≈ 1.15Ω). Also used for high-voltage startup current sensing (I_HV ≈ 1-4mA at HV=150V). Absolute maximum drain voltage: -0.3 to 190V.
4 SW passive Switch node / internal MOSFET source. Pins 4 and 7 must be shorted together in the application (they form the chip ground/switch node connection per the datasheet).
5 VF input Default 14.3V feedback pin. Used for output over-voltage protection sensing; when VF > 2.4V for 3 consecutive cycles the chip enters OVP and auto-restart mode.
6 VDD power_in Chip supply pin, also serves as an output voltage feedback terminal. A 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended. V_DD_OVP ≈ 24V, V_DD_Clamp ≈ 26V @ 10mA, absolute max 30V. Startup current I_VDD_st ≈ 100µA, operating current I_VDD_Op ≈ 800µA @ 60kHz.
7 SW passive Switch node / internal MOSFET source. Pins 4 and 7 must be shorted together in the application.
8 GND power_in Ground reference for the chip.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
u3018f.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
u3018f-etched.step 1.7 MB You want the part with U3018F already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 411 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: UNI SEMIC datasheet (11 pp, sha256 0c971a087292f446, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
