LM2596SX-3.3

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · TO-263-5

LM2596SX-3.3 from Texas Instruments, in a TO-263-5. 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 VIN power_in Positive input power supply to the IC switch regulator with operating range 4.5V to 40V; input bypass capacitor required to minimize voltage transients and provide switching current.
2 Output output Internal switch output with voltage switching between approximately (+VIN − VSAT) and approximately −0.5V at duty cycle of VOUT/VIN; PCB copper area connected to this pin must be minimal to reduce coupling to sensitive circuits.
3 GND power_in Circuit ground reference.
4 Feedback input Feedback input pin that detects stable output voltage to complete feedback loop for output voltage regulation; typical feedback voltage 1.23V for adjustable version.
5 ON/OFF input Logic input to control regulator shutdown; pulling below approximately 1.3V threshold enables regulator operation, pulling above 1.3V up to 25V maximum disables regulator with standby quiescent current typically 80μA.
6 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
