Richtek Tech · LED Drivers · DFN-16-EP(5x5)

RT8575GQW from Richtek Tech, in a DFN-16-EP(5x5). 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 CH1 input Current sink for LED string 1. Connect to bottom cathode of LED string. Absolute max 66V. Connect to GND if channel is unused (auto-disabled during startup).
2 CH2 input Current sink for LED string 2. Connect to bottom cathode of LED string. Absolute max 66V. Connect to GND if channel is unused.
3 CH3 input Current sink for LED string 3. Connect to bottom cathode of LED string. Absolute max 66V. Connect to GND if channel is unused.
4 CH4 input Current sink for LED string 4. Connect to bottom cathode of LED string. Absolute max 66V. Connect to GND if channel is unused.
5 AGND power_in Analog ground. Return for internal analog reference and control circuitry.
6 ISET input LED current setting. Connect resistor RISET from ISET to GND to program per-channel LED current (50-150mA). VISET is typically 1V. Do not short to GND.
7 COMP passive Error amplifier compensation node for the boost loop. Connect an R-C compensation network to ground.
8 RT input Switching frequency selection input. Resistor from RT to GND sets the boost switching frequency, adjustable 150kHz to 500kHz.
9 PWM input PWM dimming control input. Accepts input dimming frequency 120Hz to 1kHz for LED brightness modulation without inrush current.
10 EN input Chip enable, active high. High-impedance input; add a 100kΩ pull-down to GND when the control signal source can float. Absolute max 44V.
11 VIN power_in Power supply input. Operating range 4.2V to 24V; absolute max 44V. Bypass with local CIN capacitors to PGND.
12 LX power_out Switching node of the internal 60V, 150mΩ boost power switch. Connect to boost inductor and Schottky rectifier. Absolute max 66V. Tie in parallel with pin 13.
13 LX power_out Switching node of the internal boost power switch (paralleled with pin 12). Connect to boost inductor and Schottky rectifier.
14 PGND power_in Power ground of the boost converter. Tie together with pins 15 and 17 (exposed pad) to a large PCB copper area for maximum power dissipation.
15 PGND power_in Power ground of the boost converter. Tie together with pins 14 and 17 (exposed pad).
16 OVP input Over-voltage protection sense input for the boost converter. Detection threshold is typically 1.2V; set via resistor divider from VOUT.
17 PGND power_in Exposed thermal pad. Power ground of the boost converter. Must be soldered to a large PCB copper area and tied to PGND (pins 14/15) for thermal and electrical performance.
