L7915CV-DG

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-220

L7915CV-DG from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-220. 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 OUT power_out Regulated negative output voltage (nominal -15 V for L7915C), capable of delivering output current up to 1.5 A with adequate heat sinking; internally protected by thermal overload, short-circuit and SOA protection.
2 IN power_in Unregulated negative DC input voltage to the regulator (absolute maximum -35 V DC); this pin is internally connected to the metal mounting tab of the TO-220 package.
3 GND power_in Ground/common reference pin for the regulator; typical quiescent current of 3 mA (TJ = 25°C) flows through this pin.
