RT8120AZSP from Richtek Tech, 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 | BOOT | power_in | Bootstrap power pin that powers the upper gate driver, with a bootstrap capacitor connected between BOOT and PHASE. |
| 2 | UGATE | output | Upper-gate driver output that connects to the gate of the high-side N-MOSFET and is monitored by adaptive shoot-through protection. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Ground for the IC to which all voltage levels are referenced, connected to the low-side MOSFET source with the lowest impedance. |
| 4 | LGATE/OCSET | output | Lower-gate driver output powered from VCC that drives the low-side N-MOSFET gate, and during start-up sets the over-current threshold through a resistor ROCSET to GND. |
| 5 | VCC | power_in | Supply input for the controller and lower gate driver, to be connected to a well-decoupled 5V or 12V bias supply with VCC specified from 4.5V to 13.2V. |
| 6 | FB | input | Feedback input that is the inverting input of the error amplifier and senses the switch output through an external resistor divider. |
| 7 | COMP/EN | bidirectional | Feedback compensation pin that also serves as the enable input, where the chip is disabled when COMP is below 0.4V. |
| 8 | PHASE | passive | Switch node connected to the source of the upper MOSFET and the drain of the lower MOSFET. |
| 9 | GND | power_in | Exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation. |
