L78M08ABDT-TR from STMicroelectronics, in a DPAK. 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/common reference pin, physically the DPAK mounting tab (per Figure 2, 'Pin connections (top view)'); return path for input and quiescent currents (quiescent current Id typ. 6 mA at TJ = 25°C per Table 6, L78M08XX). |
| 2 | OUTPUT | power_out | Regulated +8 V output pin (7.7 V to 8.3 V over IO = 5 to 350 mA and VI = 10.5 to 23 V, per Table 6, L78M08XX); can source up to 0.5 A with internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection (short-circuit current typ. 250 mA, peak 700 mA at VI = 35 V, TJ = 25°C). |
| 3 | INPUT | power_in | Unregulated DC input supply pin; must be 10.5 V to 23 V for specified 8 V output regulation (Table 6) and is limited to an absolute maximum of 35 V for VO = 5 to 18 V (Table 2); typical dropout voltage 2 V at TJ = 25°C. |
