AP2138N-3.6TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-23-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | power_in | Ground reference pin for the SOT-23-3 package variant of the AP2138 regulator. |
| 2 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated output voltage, fixed at 3.6 V for this part, which requires an output capacitor of more than 1µF with ESR from 0.01Ω to 100Ω for stability. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Input voltage with a recommended operating range of 2.5 V to 6.0 V, and a filter capacitor of 1µF is required at the input. |
