Diodes Incorporated · LED Drivers · TSSOP-16-EP

ZXLD1370EST16TC from Diodes Incorporated, in a TSSOP-16-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 ADJ input DC output current adjust input that is connected to REF for 100% current and driven with 125mV to 2.5V to set 10% to 200% of the set value, with an internal clamp limiting the node to less than 3V.
2 REF output Internal 1.25V reference voltage output.
3 TADJ input Temperature adjust input for reducing LED current above a preset temperature through a thermistor or resistor network, and connecting it to REF disables the thermal compensation function.
4 SHP bidirectional Shaping capacitor for the feedback control loop, which requires a 100pF ±20% capacitor from this pin to ground for loop compensation.
5 STATUS output Analog operation status output that sits at 4.5V nominal in normal operation, switches to a lower voltage to indicate warnings or faults, and is low during shutdown.
6 SGND power_in Signal ground that must be connected to 0V, and must be connected together with PGND for correct operation.
7 PGND power_in Power ground that must be connected to 0V and to pin 8 to maximize copper area.
8 N/C unconnected Not connected internally; recommended to connect to pin 7 (PGND) to maximize PCB copper for thermal dissipation.
9 N/C unconnected Not connected internally; recommended to connect to pin 10 (GATE) to permit a wide copper trace to the MOSFET gate.
10 GATE output Gate drive output to an external NMOS transistor, rated for VGATE of -0.3 to +20V and a continuous output current of 18 mA maximum, and to be connected to pin 9.
11 VAUX power_in Auxiliary positive supply to the internal switch gate driver, to be connected to VIN or an auxiliary supply of 6V to 15V to reduce internal power dissipation, with an absolute maximum rating of -0.3 to +65V.
12 VIN power_in Input supply to the device with an operating range of 6V to 60V and an absolute maximum rating of -0.3 to +65V, to be decoupled to ground close to the device.
13 ISM input Current monitor input where the sense resistor connects between this pin and VIN, with a nominal sense voltage of 225mV.
14 FLAG output Open-drain flag output that is high impedance during normal operation and switches low to indicate a fault or warning, with an absolute maximum rating of 40V.
15 PWM input Digital PWM current control input accepting 3.3V or 5V logic, driven above 100Hz for dimming, and entering standby when held low for more than 15ms nominal.
16 GI input Gain setting input that connects to ADJ in buck mode or to a resistive divider from ADJ to SGND for boost and buck-boost modes, with an internal clamp limiting the node to less than 3V.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
