DIO8950SO8 from DIOO, in a SOIC-8. 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 GND power_in Ground pin. Device return; tie to pin 4 (also GND) at a single star point near the current-sense resistor.
2 CS input Current-sense input. Connect the sense resistor RS between LEDN and GND; ILED = VREF / RS where VREF ≈ 153 mV (146-160 mV). Internal cycle-by-cycle CS clamp at VCS_LIMIT ≈ 3.8 V (3.6-4 V max).
3 COMP passive Loop-compensation pin for the internal transconductance error amplifier. Connect a compensation capacitor (≈1 µF recommended) between COMP and GND to set the current-loop crossover well below the line frequency. Internal pull-up current ICOMP ≈ 7 µA (6-8 µA) when 1.2 V < VCOMP < 2.4 V.
4 GND power_in Ground pin (second GND). Internally tied to pin 1; both must connect to the system ground plane.
5 VIN power_in IC supply pin, charged from the HV JFET on pin 8. Must be locally bypassed to GND with CVIN. UVLO turn-on ≈ 13.8 V (12.8-14.8 V), turn-off ≈ 8.8 V (8-9.6 V); internal OVP shunt clamps at VVIN,OVP ≈ 18.2 V (16.4-20 V) with 3-8 mA shunt. Recommended operating range 10-13.6 V, absolute max 30 V.
6 FB input Output-voltage feedback input from a resistor divider off the boost output. Used to detect LED-open / output OVP: when VFB > VFB_H ≈ 1.6 V (1.5-1.7 V) the driver is shut down and the HV path is disconnected until VIN falls to VVIN,OFF; also monitored against VFB_L ≈ 300 mV (255-345 mV). OVP leading-edge blanking TLEB ≈ 1 µs. Absolute-max input -0.3 to 5 V.
7 DRV output Gate-driver output for the external primary boost MOSFET. Rise time ≈100 ns and fall time ≈50 ns into CLOAD = 1 nF; max switching frequency fMAX ≈ 130 kHz (COMP < 1.2 V), max on-time TON,MAX ≈ 35 µs. Absolute-max DRV voltage 20 V.
8 HV power_in High-voltage JFET input. Connects to the rectified BUS voltage and charges CVIN through the internal HV JFET at startup, eliminating the need for an auxiliary winding. Recommended operating range 30-600 V; absolute max 700 V.
