LM2679SX-12 from Texas Instruments, in a TO-263-7. 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 | Switch_output | output | Source pin of the internal high-side FET and the switching node, which connects to the inductor and the cathode of the external diode. |
| 2 | Input | input | Supply input to the collector of the high-side FET, which must be bypassed with CIN with the VIN-to-CIN-to-GND path kept as short as possible; the recommended supply range is 8 V to 40 V. |
| 3 | CB | input | Bootstrap capacitor connection for the high-side driver; connect a high-quality 100-nF capacitor from CB to the switch output pin. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Power ground that must be connected to system ground, with the path to CIN kept as short as possible. |
| 5 | Current_adjust | input | Current-limit adjust pin; a resistor from this pin to GND sets the peak current limit, which the datasheet specifies over a 3 A to 7 A range. |
| 6 | FB | input | Feedback sense input; for the fixed 12-V version this pin is connected directly to the output capacitor. |
| 7 | SS | input | Soft-start pin; a capacitor from this pin to GND controls the output voltage ramp, and the pin may be left floating if soft-start is not wanted. |
| 8 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
