LM3485MMX

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · VSSOP-8-0.65mm

LM3485MMX 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 ISENSE input Current sense input pin. Connects to the drain node of the external PFET so that RDS(on) sensing can be compared against the ADJ threshold for cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
2 GND power_in Signal ground reference for the controller.
3 NC unconnected No internal connection.
4 FB input Feedback input. Connect to a resistor divider between the regulated output and GND to program the output voltage; internal reference is 1.242 V (typical).
5 ADJ input Current-limit threshold adjustment. Sources ~5.5 µA from an internal current source through an external resistor to VIN; the resulting voltage sets the RDS(on)-based over-current trip level compared with the PFET VDS.
6 PWR GND power_in Power ground for the gate driver return current.
7 PGATE output Gate drive output for the external P-channel MOSFET. Output swings between VIN and (VIN − 5 V); source/sink driver resistance ~5.5 Ω / 8.5 Ω.
8 VIN power_in Power supply input pin. Operating range 4.5 V to 35 V.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lm3485mmx.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lm3485mmx-etched.step 1.8 MB You want the part with LM3485MMX already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 469 faces against 147 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: Texas Instruments datasheet (28 pp, sha256 6637528b55f3e979, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • 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).
