Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCC power_in Power supply input, 5V to 60V (absolute max 66V). Connect a bypass capacitor CVCC (4.7µF typ.) to ground; route from CVCC to GND and VCC as short as possible.
2 TON input On-time setting pin. Connect a resistor RTON from this pin to VCC to set the constant on-time (switching frequency) for the COT buck controller.
3 EN/PWM input Logic input for enable and PWM dimming. Pull above VIH (2V typ., 1.4V min) to enable, below VIL (0.8V typ., 0.4V) to disable. Accepts a 100Hz-20kHz PWM signal to dim LED brightness. High-voltage tolerant; internal 200kΩ pull-down.
4 AGND power_in Analog ground reference for the internal control circuitry and small-signal setting components.
5 FAULTB output Open-drain diagnostic output. Active low to indicate fault conditions (LED open/short, single LED short, RIS/BOOT/RTON faults, thermal shutdown, etc.). Requires external pull-up (typ. 10kΩ). VOL ≤ 0.2V at IOL = 5mA; leakage ≤ 1µA with 6V pull-up.
6 VDD power_out Internal 6V (typ., 5.8-6.2V) LDO output that powers internal control circuits. Connect a 1µF X7R ceramic cap to GND placed as close to VDD as possible. May supply reference to ADIM or pull-up for FAULTB; current limit 22-37mA.
7 ADIM input Analog dimming input. Voltage 0.4V-2V linearly scales the current-sense regulation threshold (VIS); >2.1V disables analog dimming (100% output); <0.28V forces output off. Never leave floating. Input current: 0nA (VADIM<2V), −25nA (VADIM>2V).
8 IMON output Output current monitor. Analog buffered voltage representing the LED current: VIMON = (VISP − VISN) × 8 + 0.4V. Up to ~VDD (6V). Can drive host ADC through a resistor divider if needed.
9 SCD input LED short-circuit detection threshold input. Connect a resistor divider (RSCD1/RSCD2) from LED+ to GND. FAULTB asserts when VSCD falls below VSCD_TH (1.15V typ., 50mV hysteresis). Never leave floating; if unused, tie to ISN via 10kΩ.
10 ISN input Current-sense negative input for the high-side LED current sense resistor RIS. Together with ISP forms the average LED current sense (VIS = 200mV typ. for 100% load).
11 ISP input Current-sense positive input. Sense element RIS is connected between ISP and ISN across the high-side path. ISP bias current: 176µA (VISN=12V) or −50µA (VISN=0V).
12 VOUT input Output voltage sense pin. Feeds the COT timer and control loop with the buck output voltage information.
13 SGND power_in Power/signal ground for the low-side current sense. The CS sense resistor RCS MUST be connected to this ground pin for precise sensing.
14 CS input Current ripple sense input. Senses the inductor current ripple during the high-side MOSFET off-time via low-side resistor RCS for loop control, valley current limit (VCS_TH1 = 50mV typ.), and inductor peak current limit (VCS_TH2 = 100mV typ.).
15 BOOT passive Bootstrap capacitor node for the internal high-side MOSFET gate driver. Connect a 0.1µF X7R ceramic capacitor from BOOT to LX. Internal 5.5V LDO charges CBOOT during off-time; UVLO at 2.85V rising / 2.5V falling.
16 LX output Internal high-side MOSFET switch node output. Connect to the buck inductor and Schottky recirculating diode. Steady-state −0.6V to VCC+0.3V; transient (<10ns) tolerant down to −3V. RDS_ON ≈ 0.2Ω.
17 EP power_in Exposed thermal pad on the underside of the eTSSOP-16 package. Connect to GND and solder to a copper ground plane with thermal vias for heat dissipation (θJP = 1.617°C/W).
