XL4201E1

XLSEMI · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8-EP

XL4201E1 from XLSEMI, 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 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating or tie as needed; no internal function.
2 SW power_out Power Switch Output Pin. Output is the switch node that supplies power to the output inductor. The back exposed PAD must be connected to SW.
3 GND power_in Ground pin. Return for the internal control circuitry and reference.
4 FB input Feedback pin. Through an external resistor divider network, feedback senses the output voltage and regulates it. The feedback threshold voltage is 1.25V (typ).
5 CS input Output current sense pin. Constant load current is set by Iload = 0.11V / Rcs (Vcs typ 110mV, 104.5-115.5mV).
6 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating or tie as needed; no internal function.
7 VC passive Internal voltage regulator bypass capacitor pin. Connect a 1uF capacitor from VC to VIN.
8 VIN power_in Supply voltage input pin. XL4201 operates from 8V to 40V DC. Bypass VIN to GND with a suitably large capacitor (e.g. 100uF/50V) to eliminate input noise. Absolute maximum 45V; UVLO ~5V; OVP ~45V.
EP SW (Exposed PAD) power_out Back exposed thermal pad. Electrically the SW switch node and must be tied to pin 2 (SW). Provides the primary thermal path for the internal power MOSFET.
