ME3118ASPG

MICRONE · DC-DC Converters · ESOP-8

ME3118ASPG from MICRONE, in a ESOP-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 PGND power_in Power ground. Return path for the internal low-side NMOS power switch. Must be connected to AGND (recommended star-tie at a single point to avoid PGND noise coupling into AGND).
2 VIN power_in Power supply input, 4.5 V to 18 V (absolute max 20 V). The device starts operating when VIN is above the UVLO threshold (typ. 4.0 V rising / 3.6 V falling) and EN is high. Bypass with a low-ESR ceramic input capacitor placed close to this pin and PGND.
3 AGND power_in Analog ground and reference potential for the internal controller. Must be connected to PGND (single-point tie when a ground plane is not used).
4 FB input Feedback input to the internal error amplifier. Set the output voltage with a resistor divider from VOUT to AGND: VO = 0.8 V × (1 + R1/R2). Internal reference VFB = 0.8 V (788-812 mV); input bias current is 200 nA max.
5 COMP output External loop compensation node - output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. Connect a series RC network from COMP to AGND to place the compensation pole/zero pair. Internal clamp limits COMP swing to approximately 0.4 V to 2.5 V.
6 EN input Enable input. Drive high (≥2 V) to enable the regulator; drive low (≤0.6 V) to shut it down (IOFF ≈ 1 µA typ.). Input hysteresis ~200 mV; input current ≤1 µA. Do not float - tie to VIN if enable control is not needed.
7 SS output Soft-start pin. An internal 5 µA current source charges an external capacitor from SS to AGND, ramping the internal reference during startup to limit inrush current and provide a monotonic output rise. Typical soft-start time is ~3 ms.
8 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground for best PCB layout; do not use as a routing via.
9 LX power_out Switch node - exposed thermal pad on the ESOP-8. Internally the common drain of the high-side PMOS and low-side NMOS power switches; connect to the external filter inductor. Also serves as the primary thermal dissipation path - solder to a large copper area to lower θJA. Absolute max: −0.7 V to VIN+0.3 V DC (−5 V to 22 V for 20 ns transients).
