RT8289GSP

Richtek Tech · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8-EP

RT8289GSP from Richtek Tech, in a SOIC-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 BOOT input High Side Gate Drive Bootstrap Input. Supplies the drive for the high-side N-MOSFET switch. Connect a 10nF or greater capacitor from SW to BOOT to power the high-side switch. Absolute maximum is (VSW - 0.3V) to (VSW + 6V); typical VBOOT-SW is 4.8V.
2 NC unconnected No Internal Connection.
3 NC unconnected No Internal Connection.
4 FB input Feedback Input. Senses the output voltage through a resistive divider to regulate said voltage; the divider values also set loop bandwidth. Feedback threshold is 1.222V (typ).
5 EN input Chip Enable (Active High). Digital input that turns the regulator on/off. Drive above 1.4V to enable, below 0.4V to disable; leave open for automatic startup (1µA pull-up). Absolute max 6V; recommended 0V-5.5V.
6 GND power_in Ground. Both pin 6 and the exposed pad (pin 9) must be connected to GND; the exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB copper area for maximum power dissipation.
7 VIN power_in Power Input. Supplies the IC and step-down converter switches. Drive with a 5.5V to 32V source (abs max 34V). Bypass to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate input noise.
8 SW power_out Power Switching Output. Switching node that supplies power to the output; connect the output LC filter from SW to the load. A capacitor from SW to BOOT powers the high-side switch. Absolute max -0.6V to (VIN + 0.3V).
9 GND power_in Exposed Pad (Ground). Must be soldered to a large PCB copper area and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation; θJC = 15°C/W measured at the exposed pad.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
rt8289gsp.step 125 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
rt8289gsp-etched.step 2.5 MB You want the part with RT8289GSP already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 584 faces against 152 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.
