MP2488DN-LF-Z

Monolithic Power Systems · LED Drivers · SOIC-8-EP

MP2488DN-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems, in a SOIC-8-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 SW power_out Switch node output of the high-side switch; a low-VF Schottky rectifier to ground is required and must be placed close to this pin to reduce switching spikes.
2 EN input Enable input; pulling it below the specified threshold shuts the chip down, while pulling it above the threshold or leaving it floating enables the chip.
3 COMP passive Output of the GM error amplifier where control loop frequency compensation is applied; should not be pulled up beyond 2.6V.
4 FB input Feedback input to the error amplifier, connected to the LED current sensing resistor and compared to the internal 200mV reference to set the regulation current.
5 GND power_in Ground, to be connected close to the output capacitor avoiding high current switch paths; the exposed pad connects to the GND plane for optimal thermal performance.
6 FREQ passive Switching frequency program input; connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the switching frequency (495kΩ for 200kHz).
7 VIN power_in Input supply (4.5V to 55V recommended) powering all internal control circuitry, the bootstrap regulator and the high-side switch; needs a decoupling capacitor to ground close to the pin.
8 BST passive Bootstrap positive supply for the internal floating high-side MOSFET driver; connect a bypass capacitor between this pin and SW.
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
