Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT0 | output | Current sink output 0 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. Sinks up to 25.5 mA typ (35 mA when VCC >= 3.3 V) under 12-bit PWM control. |
| 2 | OUT1 | output | Current sink output 1 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 3 | OUT2 | output | Current sink output 2 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 4 | OUT3 | output | Current sink output 3 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 5 | OUT4 | output | Current sink output 4 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 6 | OUT5 | output | Current sink output 5 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 7 | OUT6 | output | Current sink output 6 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 8 | OUT7 | output | Current sink output 7 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 9 | OUT8 | output | Current sink output 8 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 10 | OUT9 | output | Current sink output 9 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 11 | OUT10 | output | Current sink output 10 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 12 | OUT11 | output | Current sink output 11 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 13 | OUT12 | output | Current sink output 12 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 14 | OUT13 | output | Current sink output 13 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 15 | OUT14 | output | Current sink output 14 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 16 | OUT15 | output | Current sink output 15 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 17 | OUT16 | output | Current sink output 16 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 18 | OUT17 | output | Current sink output 17 for driving an LED cathode. Can be left floating if unused. |
| 19 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT18). |
| 20 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT19). |
| 21 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT20). |
| 22 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT21). |
| 23 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT22). |
| 24 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. On LP5018 this pin is not bonded (LP5024 uses this position for OUT23). |
| 25 | ADDR0 | input | I2C slave-address selection pin (LSB of address select). Must not be left floating; tie to GND or VCC to choose one of up to 4 addresses when combined with ADDR1. |
| 26 | ADDR1 | input | I2C slave-address selection pin (MSB of address select). Must not be left floating; tie to GND or VCC to choose one of up to 4 addresses when combined with ADDR0. |
| 27 | VCC | power_in | Input power supply, 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Bypass locally with a ceramic capacitor (CVCC). |
| 28 | SDA | bidirectional | I2C bus data line, up to 400 kHz Fast-mode. Requires an external pull-up. Compatible with 1.8 V / 3.3 V / 5 V logic. If unused, must be tied to GND or VCC. |
| 29 | SCL | input | I2C bus clock line, up to 400 kHz Fast-mode. Requires an external pull-up. Compatible with 1.8 V / 3.3 V / 5 V logic. If unused, must be tied to GND or VCC. |
| 30 | EN | input | Chip enable input. Drive high to enable the device; drive low to enter shutdown mode (1 uA max IQ). All LEDs turn off within 30 ms of EN going low. |
| 31 | IREF | passive | Output current-reference global-setting pin. Connect an external resistor (RREF) from IREF to GND to set the full-scale sink current for all OUTx channels. |
| 32 | VCAP | passive | Internal LDO output. Must be bypassed to GND with a 1 uF ceramic capacitor placed as close to the device as possible. Do not load externally. |
| 33 | GND | power_in | Exposed thermal pad; also serves as the device ground pin. Must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for both electrical return and thermal dissipation. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
lp5018rsmr.step |
76 KB | You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards. |
lp5018rsmr-etched.step |
1.8 MB | You want the part with LP5018RSMR already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 441 faces against 72 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.
