OC6801B

OCX · LED Drivers · SOP-8

OC6801B from OCX, in a SOP-8. 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 DRV output Gate-drive output for the external N-channel power MOSFET. Rated up to 8 V max; typical rise/fall time ~50 ns into a 500 pF load.
2 VDD power_in Chip supply input. Operating range 5-40 V (absolute max 45 V). UVLO rising threshold ~4.8 V; typical operating current 2.5 mA at Fop = 200 kHz.
3 EN input Enable input, active high. VIH >= 3.2 V, VIL <= 0.8 V. Absolute max 45 V; standby current ~75 uA when EN is low.
4 ROSC input Oscillator frequency-set pin. External resistor to GND sets switching frequency per Fs = 4.83e7 / (ROSC + 1.08e5); ROSC=330 kΩ gives ~150 kHz. Tying pin directly to GND defaults to ~450 kHz. Absolute max 6.5 V.
5 VFB input Output-voltage feedback input to the internal error amplifier. Regulation reference is 1.000 V (min 0.975 V, max 1.025 V). Set Vout via a resistor divider: Vo = (R1+R2)/R1 * VFB. Absolute max 6.5 V.
6 COMP output Error-amplifier (EA) output; loop compensation node. Internally compensated, so the pin may be left floating. An external 10-100 nF cap to GND extends the soft-start time (larger cap = longer soft-start, but lower loop bandwidth). Absolute max 6.5 V.
7 GND power_in Device ground reference for supply, logic, and analog blocks.
8 VCS input MOSFET switch-current sense input for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Overcurrent threshold VCS_TH = 250 mV (typ, 240-260 mV). Peak inductor/MOSFET current is set by the sense resistor: IPK <= 0.25 V / RCS. Absolute max 6.5 V.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
oc6801b.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
oc6801b-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with OC6801B already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 464 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: OCX datasheet (7 pp, sha256 92b03432cdef301e, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
