DSTECH · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-23-3
DS8242-50S3 from DSTECH, 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 of the regulator; the input and output capacitors must return to this pin through as wide and short a copper trace as is practical. |
| 2 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated output of the LDO, 5.0V for this DS8242-50 variant; place the output capacitor (1µF to 22µF, minimum 1mΩ ESR) close to VOUT and GND. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Input supply pin rated 2V to 24V (absolute maximum VIN to GND is 30V); place a 1µF or larger input capacitor close to VIN and GND. |
