AL8861QMP-13

Diodes Incorporated · LED Drivers · MSOP-8-EP

AL8861QMP-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 ISENSE input Current sense input. Connect resistor RS from this pin to VIN to define nominal average output current (IOUT_NOM = 0.1/RS). Mean current-sense threshold is 100mV typical.
2 GND power_in Ground (0V) reference.
3 GND power_in Ground (0V) reference.
4 VSET input Multi-function On/Off, brightness control and soft-start pin. Float for normal operation; drive <0.2V to shut down; DC voltage 0.3V-2.5V for analog dimming (5%-100% of IOUT_NOM); PWM drive (for f<500Hz) for 1%-100% linear dimming; a capacitor to GND sets soft-start time (~1.5ms/nF, default 0.1ms).
5 LX output Drain of internal 40V NDMOS switch. Switching node connecting to inductor/freewheeling diode; RDS(on) ~0.2Ω, current limit 2A typ.
6 LX output Drain of internal 40V NDMOS switch. Parallel-bonded with pin 5 for current-carrying capability.
7 N/C unconnected No connection. Leave floating.
8 VIN power_in Input voltage supply (4.5V to 40V, absolute max 42V). Decouple to GND with a 10µF or larger X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the device.
EP EP power_in Exposed thermal pad. Connect to GND and thermal mass for enhanced thermal impedance. Should not be used as an electrical ground conduction path.
