AL8860MP-13

Diodes Incorporated · LED Drivers · MSOP-8-EP

AL8860MP-13 from Diodes Incorporated, in a MSOP-8-EP. 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 SET input Current-set pin. Connect resistor Rs from this pin to VIN to define the nominal average output current: I_OUT_NOM = 0.1 / Rs. Mean current sense threshold V_SENSE is typically 100 mV (referenced to VIN). SET pin input current is typically 8 µA.
2 GND power_in Ground (0V). Device ground reference.
3 GND power_in Ground (0V). Device ground reference (second GND pin, tie to pin 2).
4 CTRL input Multi-function on/off and brightness control pin. Leave floating for normal operation. Drive below 0.2 V to disable output (V_EN(OFF) = 0.2 V falling). Drive with a DC voltage 0.3 V < CTRL < 2.5 V for analog dimming (0% to 100% of I_OUT_NOM). Drive with a PWM signal (from open-collector/open-drain) for PWM dimming with linear range 1% to 100% for f < 500 Hz. Connecting a capacitor to GND increases soft-start time (default ~0.1 ms, ~1.5 ms per 1 nF added). V_EN(ON) rising = 0.25 V typ.
5 SW output Drain of internal 40V NMOS power switch. Connect to inductor / freewheeling diode of the buck power stage. R_SW(on) is typically 0.2 Ω at 100 mA. Rated for -0.3 to +42 V.
6 SW output Drain of internal 40V NMOS power switch (second SW pin, tie to pin 5 for reduced impedance / current handling).
7 N/C unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND.
8 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 4.5 V to 40 V operating range (absolute max +42 V). Decouple to GND with a 10 µF or higher X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the device.
EP EP power_in Exposed thermal pad. Connect to GND and to the PCB thermal mass for enhanced thermal impedance. Should NOT be used as the electrical ground conduction path (make electrical ground connections through pins 2 and 3).
