LM2738YMY

Texas Instruments · AC-DC Controllers & Regulators · MSOP-8-EP

LM2738YMY from Texas Instruments, in a MSOP-8-EP. 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 BOOST input Boost voltage that drives the internal NMOS control switch, with a bootstrap capacitor connected between BOOST and SW (boost voltage rated -0.5 V to 30 V absolute max, boost-to-SW 2.5 V to 5.5 V recommended).
2 VIN power_in Supply voltage for the output power stage, requires a bypass capacitor and must be tied to pin 3 at the package (3 V to 20 V recommended).
3 VCC power_in Input supply voltage of the device, requires a bypass capacitor and must be tied to pin 2 at the package (3 V to 20 V recommended).
4 EN input Enable control input where logic high enables operation; do not allow it to float or exceed VIN + 0.3 V.
5 GND power_in Signal and power ground pin, with the bottom resistor of the feedback network placed as close as possible to it.
6 FB input Feedback pin connected to the external resistor divider to set the output voltage (0.8 V reference).
7 GND power_in Signal and power ground pin, with the bottom resistor of the feedback network placed as close as possible to it.
8 SW output Output switch that connects to the inductor, catch diode, and bootstrap capacitor (rated -0.5 V to 20 V recommended).
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
