TX6301

XDS · LED Drivers · SOIC-8

TX6301 from XDS, in a SOIC-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 TOFF passive Switching-frequency setting pin. An external capacitor connected to this pin sets the switching (off-time) frequency; recommended operating frequency is below 500 kHz.
2 VDD power_in Chip supply rail, internally clamped by a shunt regulator to typically 5.5 V. Fed from VIN through an external series resistor (RVDD); the internal Zener clamp current must be kept below 10 mA. UVLO turn-on at 3.2 V rising, turn-off at 2.7 V falling.
3 GND power_in Device ground reference for all internal circuitry and the sensing amplifiers.
4 EN input Chip enable; active-high. Logic high (>= 0.4 x VDD) enables the controller, logic low (<= 0.8 V) puts the part into standby (I_INQ ~200 uA). May be driven with a PWM signal for LED dimming.
5 COMP passive Loop / frequency compensation node for the internal error amplifier. Connect an external capacitor (typically 200 pF to 1 nF) to GND; larger values reduce loop bandwidth.
6 CS input Output LED current sense input. The regulation loop holds this pin at a nominal 250 mV (240-260 mV) across the sense resistor RCS, so ILED = 0.25 V / RCS.
7 DRV output Gate-drive output for the external power MOSFET. Nominal drive swing tracks VDD (~5.5 V); rise/fall times ~50 ns into 1 nF. Choose a MOSFET whose RDS(on) is fully enhanced at VGS = 5.5 V.
8 ILIM input Power-MOSFET peak-current limit sense input. Sets the cycle-by-cycle inductor peak-current limit via an external sense resistor RILIM, where ILIMIT = 0.25 V / RILIM.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
tx6301.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
tx6301-etched.step 1.5 MB You want the part with TX6301 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 372 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.
