AOZ1284PI

Alpha Omega Semicon · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8-EP

AOZ1284PI from Alpha Omega Semicon, in a SOIC-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 LX output PWM switch node output. Connect to the external inductor of the buck converter. Swings from ~GND to ~VIN at the switching frequency; abs-max -0.7V to VIN+0.3V.
2 BST power_in Bootstrap voltage pin. Driver supply for the high-side NMOS. Connect a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX; abs-max -0.3V to VLX+6V.
3 GND power_in Ground pin. Signal and power ground reference for the IC.
4 FSW input Frequency bias pin. Connect a resistor (RF) from FSW to GND to program the switching frequency from 200 kHz (RF≈270 kΩ) to 2 MHz.
5 COMP output Error amplifier compensation pin. Connect an external R-C network to GND to set loop compensation for system stability; abs-max -0.3V to +6V.
6 FB input Feedback pin. Regulated to 0.8V (typ). Connect a resistor divider from VOUT to FB to GND to program the output voltage (0.8V to VIN*0.85V); abs-max -0.3V to +6V.
7 SS passive Soft-start pin. Connect an external capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start ramp time; internal source current ~2.5 µA; abs-max -0.3V to +6V.
8 EN input Enable pin. Drive above ~1.2V (typ) to enable the regulator, below 0.4V to disable (shutdown). 200 mV of input hysteresis; abs-max -0.3V to +6V.
EPAD VIN power_in Supply voltage pin, provided on the exposed thermal pad. Operating range 3.0V to 36V (abs-max 40V). Must be soldered to a PCB copper plane both for the input supply connection and for heat sinking.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
aoz1284pi.step 125 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
aoz1284pi-etched.step 1.8 MB You want the part with AOZ1284PI already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 455 faces against 152 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.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Alpha Omega Semicon datasheet (14 pp, sha256 d4c431a947220f9c, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
