Texas Instruments · LED Drivers · VQFN-32-EP(4x4)

LP5018RSMR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-32-EP(4x4). 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 OUT0 output Current sink output 0 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. Sinks up to 25.5 mA typ (35 mA when VCC >= 3.3 V) under 12-bit PWM control.
2 OUT1 output Current sink output 1 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
3 OUT2 output Current sink output 2 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
4 OUT3 output Current sink output 3 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
5 OUT4 output Current sink output 4 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
6 OUT5 output Current sink output 5 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
7 OUT6 output Current sink output 6 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
8 OUT7 output Current sink output 7 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
9 OUT8 output Current sink output 8 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
10 OUT9 output Current sink output 9 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
11 OUT10 output Current sink output 10 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
12 OUT11 output Current sink output 11 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
13 OUT12 output Current sink output 12 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
14 OUT13 output Current sink output 13 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
15 OUT14 output Current sink output 14 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
16 OUT15 output Current sink output 15 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
17 OUT16 output Current sink output 16 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
18 OUT17 output Current sink output 17 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused.
19 NC unconnected No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT18).
20 NC unconnected No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT19).
21 NC unconnected No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT20).
22 NC unconnected No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT21).
23 NC unconnected No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT22).
24 NC unconnected No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT23).
25 ADDR0 input I2C slave-address selection pin (LSB of address select). Must not be left floating; tie to GND or VCC to choose one of up to 4 addresses when combined with ADDR1.
26 ADDR1 input I2C slave-address selection pin (MSB of address select). Must not be left floating; tie to GND or VCC to choose one of up to 4 addresses when combined with ADDR0.
27 VCC power_in Input power supply, 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Bypass locally with a ceramic capacitor (CVCC).
28 SDA bidirectional I2C bus data line, up to 400 kHz Fast-mode. Requires an external pull-up. Compatible with 1.8 V / 3.3 V / 5 V logic. If unused, must be tied to GND or VCC.
29 SCL input I2C bus clock line, up to 400 kHz Fast-mode. Requires an external pull-up. Compatible with 1.8 V / 3.3 V / 5 V logic. If unused, must be tied to GND or VCC.
30 EN input Chip enable input. Drive high to enable the device; drive low to enter shutdown mode (1 uA max IQ). All LEDs turn off within 30 ms of EN going low.
31 IREF passive Output current-reference global-setting pin. Connect an external resistor (RREF) from IREF to GND to set the full-scale sink current for all OUTx channels.
32 VCAP passive Internal LDO output. Must be bypassed to GND with a 1 uF ceramic capacitor placed as close to the device as possible. Do not load externally.
33 GND power_in Exposed thermal pad; also serves as the device ground pin. Must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for both electrical return and thermal dissipation.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lp5018rsmr.step 76 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lp5018rsmr-etched.step 1.8 MB You want the part with LP5018RSMR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 441 faces against 72 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
