KP18055ESPA

Kiwi Instruments · LED Drivers · SOP-8-EP

KP18055ESPA from Kiwi Instruments, in a SOP-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 PWM1 input Channel 1 digital PWM dimming input; when left floating the default state is full output current, and the PWM high and low levels are specified as VPWMH 2.5 V and VPWML 0.5 V.
2 CS1 output Channel 1 output current sense pin, where an external sense resistor Rcs sets the LED1 current; the CS voltage absolute maximum is -0.3 to 7 V.
3 PWM2 input Channel 2 digital PWM dimming input; when left floating the default state is full output current, and grounding it reduces the chip current to 0; the PWM voltage absolute maximum is -0.3 to 7 V.
4 CS2 output Channel 2 output current sense pin, where an external sense resistor Rcs sets the LED2 current; the CS voltage absolute maximum is -0.3 to 7 V.
5 LED2 input Connects to the negative terminal of LED2; the LED pin voltage absolute maximum is -0.5 to 500 V.
6 LED1 input Connects to the negative terminal of LED1; the LED pin voltage absolute maximum is -0.5 to 500 V.
7 NC unconnected No connection; the pin is left floating in the application.
8 Vin power_in Chip supply pin connected to the bus voltage, with a start-up threshold of 8 V, shut-off threshold of 7.7 V, and an absolute maximum of -0.5 to 700 V.
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
