QK1201

HICHON · Battery Management · ESOP-8

QK1201 from HICHON, in a ESOP-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 BAT power_in Battery positive terminal. Connects to the Li-ion cell (+). Float charge voltage 4.20V ±1%, trickle-charge threshold 2.7V, discharge cutoff 2.5V, re-enable 2.9V. Absolute max -5V to +4.5V.
2 LED output Indicator-LED anode drive. Sources ~3 mA typical. Blinks 1 Hz 50% during charging, solid on when fully charged, 0.5s-on / 4.5s-off when battery < 2.9 V, 8× 1 Hz blinks when battery < 2.5 V.
3 VDD power_in Charger input power (from USB / 5 V rail). Operating range 3.6 V-5 V; UVLO ≈ 2.55 V. Absolute max -5V to +5.5V.
4 BAT2 power_in Supply pin for the internal LDO. Must be tied to the BAT pin per typical application circuit.
5 LDO power_out Internal LDO output. Requires a 10 µF decoupling capacitor to GND per typical application.
6 K1 input Capacitive touch input. Registers a valid touch when contact lasts between 54 ms and 5 s; >5 s auto-shuts OUT off (safety). Sensitivity is tuned by an optional 1-50 pF cap from K1 to GND (larger cap = less sensitive).
7 SEL input Dimming-sequence select. Float: touch cycles OUT duty 25%→50%→100%→0. Tied to GND: touch cycles OUT duty 100%→50%→25%→0. PWM frequency 30 kHz.
8 OUT output Open-drain low-side switch to the LED lamp cathode. Internal NMOS Rds(on) ~150 mΩ. LED short-circuit protection trips at IOCP ≈ 2.5 A (VBAT = 3.7 V). Absolute max -0.3V to +5.5V.
9 GND power_in Chip ground and exposed thermal die pad on the underside of the ESOP-8 package. Must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation.
