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). |
