**Texas Instruments** · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-14

LM2574M-5.0 from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-14. 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 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
| 3 | FB | input | Feedback sense input pin to set VOUT for adjustable version or connect to output capacitor for fixed output versions. |
| 4 | SIG_GND | power_in | Signal ground pin providing ground reference for internal references and logic. |
| 5 | ON/OFF | input | Enable input with high = OFF and low = ON; connect to GND to enable or do not leave floating. |
| 6 | PWR_GND | power_in | Power ground pins to connect to system ground and capacitor ground pins with shortest possible path from VIN. |
| 7 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
| 8 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
| 9 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
| 10 | VIN | power_in | Supply input pin to high-side transistor collector; connect to power supply and input bypass capacitors with shortest path to PWR_GND. |
| 11 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
| 12 | OUTPUT | output | Emitter pin of the power transistor switching node; attach to inductor and external diode cathode. |
| 13 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
| 14 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer. |
