LM2597N-5.0

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · PDIP-8

LM2597N-5.0 from Texas Instruments, in a PDIP-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 (flag transistor ON) when the regulated output drops more than 5% below nominal, and stays low at start-up until VOUT reaches 95% of nominal plus the delay set by the Delay pin capacitor; it can be used as a microprocessor reset.
2	Delay	output	Sets a power-up time delay between VOUT reaching 95% of nominal and the Error Flag output going high, and must be left open if not used.
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 at low output current or high input voltage, and must be left open if not used.
4	Feedback	input	Senses the regulated output voltage to close the feedback loop.
5	Shutdown/Soft-Start	input	Logic-level input that shuts the regulator down and reduces total input supply current to approximately 80 µA, while a capacitor on this pin gives a soft-start with controlled output ramp-up; the pin voltage is limited to 6 V maximum and must be left open if unused.
6	Ground	power_in	Circuit ground.
7	+VIN	input	Positive input supply for the switching regulator, which requires a suitable input bypass capacitor at this pin; the LM2597 supply range is 4.5 V to 40 V.
8	Output	output	Internal switch node that swings between (+VIN − VSAT) and approximately −0.5 V at a duty cycle of VOUT/VIN, so the PCB copper connected to it must be kept to a minimum.
