LM2597MX-ADJ

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8

LM2597MX-ADJ from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. 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 Error Flag output Open-collector output that goes low when the regulated output drops more than 5% below nominal, and stays low until VOUT reaches 95% of nominal plus the Delay pin capacitor time, so it can reset a microprocessor at power-up.
2 Delay output Provides an adjustable power-up delay, set by an external capacitor, between VOUT reaching 95% of nominal and the Error Flag going high, and the pin voltage is limited to 1.5 V maximum.
3 Bias Supply input Allows the internal circuitry to be powered from the regulated output or an external supply instead of VIN for higher efficiency, with bias supply voltage limited to -0.3 V to 30 V.
4 Feedback input Senses the regulated output voltage to close the feedback loop, with the pin voltage limited to -0.3 V to 25 V.
5 Shutdown/Soft-Start input Dual-function pin where logic-level signals shut the regulator down (total input current about 80 µA), and a capacitor on this pin gives controlled soft-start; the pin input voltage is limited to 6 V maximum.
6 Ground power_in Circuit ground.
7 +VIN power_in Positive input supply for the switching regulator, requiring a suitable bypass capacitor; for the LM2597 the recommended supply is 4.5 V to 40 V with a 45 V absolute maximum.
8 Output output Internal switch output that swings between (+VIN - VSAT) and about -0.5 V at a duty cycle of VOUT/VIN, so its PCB copper area must be kept minimal to limit coupling to sensitive circuitry.
