AL8861WT-7

Diodes Incorporated · LED Drivers · TSOT-25

AL8861WT-7 from Diodes Incorporated, in a TSOT-25. 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 LX output Drain of the internal 40V NDMOS power switch. Connects to the external inductor L1 and the freewheeling Schottky diode D1 to form the buck converter switch node. Switch on-resistance is typically 0.2Ω at ILX = 100mA; leakage < 5µA.
2 GND power_in Device ground reference (0V). Return for internal control, driver, and bypass capacitor C1.
3 VSET input Multi-function On/Off, brightness control, and soft-start pin. Floating: internal ~1.4µA source pulls up to 4.5V. Drive below 0.2V to disable output; drive with 0.3V-2.5V DC for analog dimming (5%-100% linear), or with a PWM signal (<500Hz for 1%-100% linear range). A capacitor from VSET to GND extends soft-start (~1.5ms/nF; default 0.1ms). Absolute max 6V; keep below 5V in normal operation.
4 ISENSE input High-side current-sense input. Connect current-set resistor RS between this pin and VIN to define the nominal average LED current: IOUT(NOM) = 0.1V / RS. Mean sense threshold is 100mV (typ) with ±13% hysteresis; input current ~8µA.
5 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 4.5V to 40V (absolute max 42V). Decouple to GND with a 10µF or larger X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor placed close to the device. Also serves as the high-side reference for the ISENSE current-sense resistor.
