Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Hysteresis-mode DC-DC buck converter optimized for driving single or multiple series-connected LEDs from 4.5V to 40V input supplies. Delivers up to 1.5A output current with integrated 40V power switch and high-side current sensing. Features PWM or analog dimming via CTRL pin, soft-start, LED short/open-circuit protection, and up to 97% efficiency at 1MHz switching frequency.
Package: TSSOP-8 (3×3mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 0.65 mm pin pitch makes hand soldering tedious and error-prone; a breakout board lets you solder standard headers instead, enabling quick prototyping on breadboards. Ideal for I2C GPIO expanders, level translators, and audio amplifiers where you need reliable connections without rework risk.
