LSP5523-R8A

Diodes Incorporated · DC-DC Converters · SOP-8-EP

LSP5523-R8A from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOP-8-EP. 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 BS passive Bootstrap. Positive rail for the high-side switch's gate driver. Connect a 0.01µF capacitor between BS and SW.
2 VIN power_in Input supply, 4.5V to 27V (abs max 30V). Bypass to GND with a low-ESR capacitor placed close to the pin.
3 SW power_out Switch output. Connect to the switching end of the inductor. Abs max -0.3V to Vin+0.3V.
4 GND power_in Ground return. Also tie to the exposed pad on the backside.
5 FB input Feedback input. Regulated to 0.925V (typ). Connect to a resistor divider between Vout and GND to set the output voltage. Abs max -0.3V to 5V.
6 COMP passive Error amplifier compensation node. Connect an RC network to GND for loop stability (see Stability Compensation in the Application Information). Abs max -0.3V to 5V.
7 EN input Enable input. IC turns on when EN > ~2.7V and turns off when EN < ~1.1V; output is discharged when off. Do not float - recommend a 200kΩ pull-up to VIN. Abs max -0.3V to 8V.
8 SS passive Soft-start control input. A capacitor from SS to GND sets the soft-start period (0.1µF ≈ 13ms). Leave unconnected to disable soft-start. Charge current ~6µA.
9 EP power_in Exposed thermal pad on the backside. Must be connected to the GND pin/plane for thermal dissipation.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lsp5523-r8a.step 194 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lsp5523-r8a-etched.step 2.2 MB You want the part with LSP5523-R8A already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 529 faces against 63 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.
