SM5101B

HICHON · Touch Sensors · SOP-8

SM5101B from HICHON, 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 OUT output Heater-drive output. Sources the load current to the heating coil; internal switch RDS(on) ≈ 95 mΩ. Short-circuit protection trips at IOCP ≈ 4.3 A (VBAT=3.7V) and shuts off with loads below 0.8 Ω.
2 BAT power_in Battery positive terminal (single-cell Li-ion). Absolute max -0.3 V to +4.5 V. Sources up to 250 mA discharge current (2.7 V ≤ VBAT ≤ 4.1 V); charge terminates when VBAT reaches 4.20 V float and current drops below 1/10 setpoint; auto-recharge below 4.05 V.
3 LED1 output Charge-status and output-status indicator LED driver. On during charging; blinks 20 times (2 Hz, 50% DC) when charge completes. During touch-on the pin ramps up (~1 s), stays lit ~8 s, then blinks twice before OUT closes. Nominal ILED ≈ 15 mA.
4 LED2 output EN operating-state indicator LED driver. Solid on when EN is tied to GND (touch enabled); off when EN floats. Nominal ILED ≈ 15 mA.
5 GND power_in Chip ground reference. Common return for VDD, BAT, OUT and all logic pins.
6 VDD power_in USB charger input (5 V nominal). Operating range 0.5 V to 5 V; absolute max -0.3 V to +5.5 V. UVLO rising threshold 3.4-3.8 V (typ 3.6 V) enables the charge cycle; supply for internal charger and touch/LED logic.
7 T input Touch-sense input. Connects to the exposed touch pad; sensitivity adjustable by a small parallel capacitor Cs (1 pF ≤ Cs ≤ 50 pF) - no cap = maximum sensitivity, larger Cs reduces sensitivity. Active only when EN=GND and VBAT>3.2 V.
8 EN input Touch-switch enable input with internal 100 kΩ pull-up. Tie to GND (through switch S1) to enable touch detection; leave floating (pull-up) to disable and put the chip into sleep. Absolute max -0.3 V to +5.5 V.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sm5101b.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sm5101b-etched.step 1.7 MB You want the part with SM5101B already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 426 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.
