LM3478MM

Texas Instruments · AC-DC Controllers and Regulators · VSSOP-8-0.65mm

LM3478MM from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-8-0.65mm. 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 ISEN input Current sense input pin. Voltage generated across an external sense resistor is fed into this pin. Nominal current sense threshold voltage is 156 mV; short-circuit limit is 343 mV (typ).
2 COMP output Compensation pin. A resistor-capacitor combination connected to this pin provides loop compensation for the error amplifier (Gm = 800 μmho typ).
3 FB input Feedback pin. The output voltage should be adjusted using a resistor divider to provide 1.26 V at this pin. FB pin current is 15 nA typ; abs-max range -0.4 V to 7 V.
4 AGND power_in Analog ground pin. Signal ground reference for the internal analog circuitry; should be connected to PGND at a single point near the device.
5 PGND power_in Power ground pin. Return for the internal push-pull driver stage which delivers up to 1 A peak into the external MOSFET gate.
6 DR output Drive pin. The gate of the external N-channel MOSFET should be connected to this pin. Internal push-pull driver with 1 A peak current capability; VDR clamped to 7.2 V when VIN ≥ 7.2 V (else tracks VIN). Abs-max -0.4 V to 8 V.
7 FA/SD input Frequency Adjust and Shutdown pin. A resistor from this pin to ground sets the oscillator frequency (100 kHz to 1 MHz; 40 kΩ ≈ 400 kHz). Pulling this pin high (above shutdown threshold, 1.27 V typ) for longer than 30 μs shuts the device down, drawing <10 μA from the supply.
8 VIN power_in Power supply input pin. Operating range 2.97 V to 40 V (abs-max 45 V). Non-switching supply current 2.7 mA typ; shutdown current ~5 μA.
